The business is open during regular business hours on Monday through Fridays, closed nights, weekends, and holidays. |

Additional Information
|
| This business is a great growth opportunity for the entrepreneur, enthusiast, or shop-experienced individual. It fills a vital niche in the auto repair industry: there are millions of late model street cars on the road today with high-performance add-ons, and there are few shops that work on them. Most dealers and general repair shops will not do regular maintenace on high performance vehicles. A great opportunity for this business lies in continuing to expand into the huge market for repairs and maintenance of high performance street and off-road vehicles. |
