April 10, 201411 yr I was commenting that you have a lady friend that is much prettier than you are handsome.It was one of those complements that are veiled as an insult that guys give each other.
April 11, 201411 yr OK, the first of my "budget" for equipment came in today. I snagged a CardaqM programmer. It affords me the ability to get a factory Toyota scan tool program and do all Hybrid repairs and diagnostic. The TIS program in an 06 Prius today. I now have 100% complete factory service, scanner, and program information at my fingertips. I got my LSID (locksmith ID) so I can do all security and key programming and diagnostics, as well as gathering all security info for many manufacturers. I also ordered the Autel Maxi Sys pro today... http://www.autel.us/Products/ms908p.htm I saw this scanner on my trip to Raleigh NC for training a couple weeks ago. It is massively featured, and very fast. I hammered mt dealer service provider and grabbed one at nearly half of retail. I also bought 3 Hybrid battery chargers, which allow me to charge all the cells in a hybrid battery at the same time. I also grabbed a special tester for hybrid generators at a huge discount. All told I have invested less than 1/4 of my budget in the first year. With additional manufacturer software I am at less than 1/3. We have begun advertising to local shops that we do rebuild hybrid batteries, and we reflash most makes and models. We already have a rebuild scheduled for next week. Quick tease... Gen 2 Prius Under the inverter hood. Inverter out Inside the motor/generator/trans of a gen 2 Prius MV2, the most common motor/gen failure in a Prius transmission. I have most of the tranny apart on my bench now. I will easily be able to rebuild them, and have a couple interested parties at this point. 2 battery rebuilds and 1 trans rebuild will pay for my in shop investment. I should be ahead of my investment within a month. The boss wants to see profit within a year. Should not be a problem. The biggest thing is that we are doing what other shops cannot, and our future margins are what matters. I am happy to be a big part of such a progressive shop.
