    I keep going on my own anyway. It just harder and slower with no experience at all. I am searching for a pitch these days. But got no luck yet. Any input will be appreciated.

     

    I'd look for a unit rather than a pitch, often the same price if no cheaper and you can make a decent showroom.

    Thank you.

    I don't really know why I turn the wheels that way, just to add some drama I suppose.  Can still see alloys from other side and you can check out my tyre tread depths.

    I guess you can tell where the pics are taken (being a Wombourner).

     

    Fair enough,

    yeah I spotted Himley Hall in the background, ive taken a few photos there before!

    Well, they are not having my £750, that's crazy.

    I can have their top ad on PAYG for about £60 3 weeks, I don't even have enough stock to reach £750.

    And for comparison - what about Ebay - same sort of package please.

    Totally irrelevant to the post, have just been on your website as I noticed you were local to us, just wondered why you had the wheels turned in that direction in the photos? We tend to do the opposite to show off the alloys...

    Website looks good :)

    No not from BCA - Its a proper beast though will post a link.

    My dad even popped down at the weekend just to go for a drive in this one, he has not been to my work to do that ever before and we get some nice bits into stock. The grin when he  fired it up was priceless.

     

    Mustang

    Love the Mustang, I have been after one for a while.

    Just noticed on your page that you advertise on Car Gurus, how do you find it? You have the same sort of cars we do so would be interesting to know...?

    Agree with most of the above.

     

    - Photos should all be at the same angle with the same back drop, make sure you can see both the front end and one side of the car

    - A lot of the text on the website doesn't make much sense and has some punctuation mistakes. Im not sure what all the *** are for around test drive an indoor showroom, looks a bit odd. The about us text needs some attention in my opinion. I would print off each page of your website and get a couple of people to read through it all and check it thoroughly

    - The website looks like its a template one, Click Dealer or something?  Fine for run of the mill cars but with some of the cars you are selling I don't think it gives off the right impression. 

    Good luck, hope it picks up for you.

    That looks great.

    i have been looking in to flooring recently, how big was the area covered? How much did it cost you if you? don't mind me asking of course.

    Its about 200 sq m in total.  Took 3 people 4 days to complete. Two days of diamond grinding, sanding, digging out and filling. Then two coats of epoxy resin coating.

    Cost us £2500 in total including an oil tolerant primer as our concrete was full of oil from being a workshop previously.

    You have made some very good points. Actually the points which worry me the most, and this is the solution I am trying to kind of resolve. regarding warranty claims - I think I need to outsource this and something I will have to stress with the customers and on the invoice. I know you will get some idiots, but I suppose that is the case with any business you are in. The good job is majority of the people are normal and understand the difference between a small home trader to a full dealership. 

    The cars I sell come with full service history and are generally well looked after cars. Hence why I was asking about profits. As the moment my profit is not good enough to have a business which would be worth my while. Most of my cars are sold on the first view. Which says something about the cars i stock. 

    You are probably correct about making easier money elsewhere - but I like cars, I like wheeling and dealing. So, it just seems to fit what I am doing at the moment. However, who knows what the future holds. 

    Thanks for your advice - it has opened my mind a little further. Not for the good but the truth sometimes hurts. :)

     

    No offence taken.. It's all lighthearted. 

    How are you getting on now?

    We've been through a number of companies, Auto Protect, WarrantyWise etc, Now with WMS and would probably recomend them (best of bad bunch)

    It all comes down the who your account manager, probably a good idea to meet a few of account managers from different companies, in my view your account manager is more important than the warranty company you are with.
