I know of this portable chassis dyno for sale..
My current employer insists that I could make money hand over fist running a dyno shop. It's true that I could charge a premium as being the "only dyno service in the county", but perhaps there is a reason there are no dynos in this county? I would have to get a loan to start up, and be profitable enough to be able to pay back the loan and make a living. Anyone know of a basic business model for a dyno shop? I assume I would need insurance for the equipment, as well as liability insurance. And then there's advertizing, etc. Does this all work out to a easy money, or just scraping by? And then there's the question only I can answer... Do I really want to run a dyno all day? |

The dyno won't really make you money... It WILL get people in the door that will buy Performance goodies for their car though...
The ticket is the ricer crowd... They have HUGE mark ups on their junk.. Thats where the money comes from.. What brand is the dyno?? Keep in mind that its a necessity that the dyno be able to have quick set up and take off times for each car- your time is their money and if you spend hours setting the car up on the dyno you can get much done.. I know very little about chassis dynos, all my testing is done on an engine dyno and its a totally different arrangement.. |
