Most folks agree that owning a home based business is the best way to go. In reality, for many folks, it's a fantasy of a lifetime to escape from the 9-to-5 mill and become your own boss. 1 means to do this is to be a backyard mechanic.

Obviously being a backyard mechanic is rather different than operating a normal shop. In actuality, you might discover legislative challenges to overcome so as to begin your business. However there are still ways to run a true mechanic shop without the cost of a normal shop.

Besides basic repairs and oil changes, you might also be able to do some autobody work on cars which were accidents. For all of this you'll have to have a fantastic supply of inexpensive car components. So where can you locate them? Here are some ways to find cheap car parts when you are starting out as a backyard mechanic:

* Type"wholesale auto parts" into your search engine and discover an innumerable quantity of car part suppliers who can provide you great prices on components, free delivery within a specific amount, and at times even a warranty.

* Use eBay to find a whole lot on parts, especially parts that are hard to locate elsewhere, on pretty much any car imaginable. EBay offers a fantastic warranty on car parts bought through them and the only drawback is that in the event you eliminate an auction you need to obtain the part from someplace else and that may be time-consuming.

* Form a auto-parts buying club along with other local car enthusiasts to have the ability to buy in massive quantities and receive wholesale discounts.

* Contact the local scrap yard dealers and ask them if they will provide you a discount if you purchase a great deal of scrap parts from them and take them off yourself, thereby eliminating their prices for labour and storage.

* If you reside in a huge city and can concentrate in only a small number of vehicles, you can purchase several scrap vehicles quite cheaply, save them, and use them for parts.

Lots of men and women moonlight as garden mechanics, fixing the cars of family members and friends. If local laws permit it, there's little to prevent you from doing exactly the same as a full-time occupation. And saving money with car parts would help you make a profit quickly.
