Re: Idea car shop

There is a ton of stuff that an ideal shop would have. My list would have new shit added to it every time I came accross a problem and didnt have the right tool.

Welders/cutting-TIG, MIG, Oxy/Acetalyne(sp?), plasma cutter
Machining- Mill, lathe, surface grinder, etc
Hoists- drive on for alignments, post style for most other stuff
Tire equipment- mounter, balancer(load balancer would be nice)
Specialty tools- anything needed for engine building, engine diagnostics, ABS diagnostics, hot tank, etc.....this could go forever

Employees- friendly, knowledgable, honest, efficient, etc.....
Prices- fair pricing with a warranty on their work, to a point anyways.
