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 place I went to is at a small airport, the complaints are from the other shops in the plaza.....8,000+ rpm dyno pulls with motorcycles is his largest complaint...and that is with the doors closed and the place insulated (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) having a dyno that can put a load on the vehicle will be worth more and you can use that to your advantage to help people tune and troubleshoot...the acceleration type dynos are junk in my opinion.... |
