Well got lucky today. Met up with a young guy, does nothing but strictly custom work and fab. Has a plasma cutter cnc machine. Run by cad, a small machine shop in the back, It's two shops next to each other. and full paint booth and all the goodies. Since he has a lot of full on custom work and one of the shops sits empty, we agreed to have me use the one side were the booth is. If i want a custom paint job done and i don't feel confident enough, i set my price on what i can afford and away he goes. Otherwise if i do all my own work, like i do now i can cut him in on a few bucks. No utilities to worry about, borrow major tools, and the booth. Only about a half hour away. So all is well. Plenty of parking too. and large shop!. Thank god!

Hello Brian I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but there are good guys looking for shared space. My son and I are 2 of them. We opened a wheel repair shop in December 2010 and shared a shop for a year with an auto repair business. That auto repair business ended, so we had to move. Shared a shop with a recycle place, but they moved to a retail location. Now my son is working out of my garage until we find new space. We are looking for enough room to park a car on jack stands, 2 work benches and a compressor, etc. We do not need to share tools and are completely independent. We were paying $300 at the last shop. We are in the Round Lake, Antioch, Lake Villa area of Illinois. P.S. We also do some vehicle graphics. Both services would be complementary to any body shop's business. http://www.lakecountywheelrepair.com |
