5 Tips For Buying Smog Repair Shops & Why You Should Care

Smog shops can be a very nice business to buy. The dangers of these businesses need to be known. Before you buy, because after you close escrow there is no turning back. Hillary Clinton says it takes a Village to raise a child. I do not know if that is true. What I do know is true is that takes a team to find out everything about a business there is to know. This is doubly important when a seller would prefer that some of these items not be found. Here is a short list of things to look for but by all means do not buy a business after only looking at these items.


1) To do smog test you must have a license, which takes 6 months to get if you plan on doing tests yourself.
2) If you are going to hire or keep the current smog testing staff, remember that they are in a position to pressure you for more money, because you cannot operate without them.
3) When there are discount coupons in use, and the smog tester is working alone, on the weekend. He can charge the customer full price and tell you that he charged the discount price.
4) Where are the competitors located?
5) What price are competitors charging?
