WheelsRCool -> How Do I Become A Hummer Tuner? (9/24/2006 10:21:57 PM)
|
Hey all, I really would like to start my own business as an auto tuner, mainly for Hummers and other 4x4s. I really love automobiles. I am intending to become a professional automotive technician for starters, then modify my own vehicle, then get a Hummer and modify it, etc....you know, to prove I can do good work, then start the business, but I am wondering, is that a method to do it?
I was reading in a magazine and it said that the owner of Predator Motorsports, the leading Hummer parts company, started it as a crazy idea for a business school project. What I am wondering is, would he have had to somehow have had automotive/mechanical knowledge already when doing this, even though he was a business school person, or would he have handled the business side but hired people who had mechanical knowledge?
I keep looking around on Google for information on becoming a professional tuner, but I can't seem to find any. I really have dreams of becoming a high-calibre tuner, attending SEMA and so forth some day, I am just wondering if I am going down the right path, or if there is a specific path for something like this? I don't want it to be Joe Schmoe's local tuning shop forever, I want to evolve it into a full company that I can work in, but can also retire from with it being a full company that can continue to bring in money.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks. Just wondering if tarting as an auto technician is a proper start. I figure I need to know how to mess with the autos though if I ever want to work as a tuner on them.
