What would be the minimum indoor square footage needed?
Do you perform general repairs or a specialty, such as body work?
How much is the initial investment?
What are your ongoing expenses?

I know money can be made, since a local indy isn't even accepting any new customers due to high demand. There is a need for quality repair work in this area.
