I have considered it myself, and was convinced by folks here and a couple in the business that its definitely not a sure-fire deal. One guy I talked to opened his VW shop with basically a screwdriver and a hammer (as he put it) and did pretty well. Today you need to have a much bigger investment and operating budget just to cover the basics.

Since performance or high-end service is considered a luxury for most people, it will be the first thing they will try to skip out on when they can't pay their bills.
