Hey guys I just had some questions about the lineboring business that I am hoping I can get some feedback on.
How does one get started in the lineboring business? I mean is everyone who is an independent (not a dealership) just make the investment of the equipment $$$ and go at it on nights and weekends until they get a name for themselves and enough clients to do it full time? Also is there anyplace u can go to get trained on how to line bore or is it just a trade you kind of got to teach yourself?
I am a mechanic for a cat dealership in central IL and I know what we charge to linebore and in my mind it seems like highway robbery in my eyes. I would think an independent guy could undercut our prices drastically ,and still make some dam good money. Also I think lineboring is something that most guys my age (25) are not wanting to get into I think the welder/machinist/mechanic are all definitely dying breeds in my generation. Just think it would be a good business venture for a young guy with a lot of determination and drive to get into.
Maybe my thinking is way off hell I don't know that's why I am on here. Any feedback positive or negitive would be greatly appreciated.
