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?

Dynapacks are the schiznit, We almost bought a set a few years ago, but economics kicked in.

We ended up buying The Racers Group Dyno when they decided to get out of the UniChip business for considerably less than the Dynapack set up

All that aside I dont think you do weel at all just offering dyno services. Like Jake mentioned you need to sell the bells and whistles... We have attracted a pretty steady supply of ricer drag racers, who bolt crap on there cars and have no idea how they work.we dyno the car give them suggestions, and usually end up having the car for a few weeks while we make right all the wrongs we find.

So you need to provide other services too.
