Chapter 277: The 170th Auto Repair Shop_2
"May I have a look at your revenue item list?" Although Allen Zhang had already decided to acquire this auto repair shop, he still wanted to understand more about it.
"Of course."
Darren brought out the recent revenue items, and Allen took a look, realizing that they hardly made much money. The monthly turnover exceeded $150,000, but the net profit was very low. After paying for utilities, taxes, and employee wages, the net income was only a little over $10,000 after taxes.
For a legitimate auto repair shop, this income was not too low, and it could be considered a solid middle-class business, but becoming wealthy was still a far-off dream.
However, it didn’t matter. He wasn’t planning to operate this auto repair shop as a typical garage anyway. The real money was in the business of customizing used cars.
The reason Darren wasn’t making a profit was mainly that he was too formal and law-abiding, not using any street tricks.
The last time he serviced the General Sect Leader’s RV, he only charged a few hundred dollars. If you could make money that way, it would be a miracle—a truly conscientious business.
But being conscientious didn’t bring in money. Look at those shops run by Blacks nearby, all stocked with illegal parts, and who knows where they got their inventory. They hardly consider the customers’ needs, cutting corners wherever possible, and all the money saved goes straight into the owner’s profit!
