2Sales Auto is a desire that I have had for a very long time since I began my career as an automechanic. With this company, it will be easier to offer better services to all clients exceedingwhat my competitors will have to offer. The company will be located in Seattle and will containa three- bay garage, storage for tools, parts and an office space. With the company, clients willbe able to meet their auto servicing needs such as wheel alignment and transmission (Drucker,2014).According to Schaper, (2014), starting up an auto repair shop is very challenging in the currentworld. Any company that does not offer quality services, overcharges the customer, or does notseem to care about the customers is doomed to fail. With technological advancements, smallcompanies face a big problem of incorporating IT in their auto repair shops. The cost of settingup an IT system is very high especially for small startups like Sales Auto Repair. It is alsodifficult to look for well-trained technicians as they seek high salaries. The existence ofsubstitutes such as do it yourself work makes this industry very competitive. To solve theseproblems, it is important to ensure that a strong bond with the customers is developed. This willincrease the level of trust while also attracting new customers. With the technologicaladvancements, it is important to invest the necessary capital that will make it easy to incorporatethe necessary IT tools. A Good investment is also necessary in getting qualified personnel thatwill work effectively (Crawford, 2014).Having a qualified team of professionals makes it easy to run the company without facing anyproblems. The company will hire one expert in the IT field and two supporting workers beforethe shop develops into a bigger company. With an increase in the services offered, more teammembers that will ease the operation will be hired.SALES AUTO REPAIR SHOP COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
