How many F car owners in Inland Empire?

Hi guys,
I'm seriously considering opening a Ferrari (and other high end euro car) performance, tuning and service/repair business in the Corona area. I'm a retired mechanical engineer with a automotive minor, a published automotive technical writer (Haynes Publications), and a certified ASE technician. In addition to the typical service/repair tools and equipment, I have all the fabrication and machine tool capacity (CNC) to build just about anything you can think of. If it's performance you seek, I have special training and knowledge in vehicle dynamics, suspension systems, NA & FI build and tuning and aerodynamics. I have stock ECU reverse engineering and reflash capabilities as well as standalone Engine Management Systems experience and tuning using an AWD dyno. I utilize advanced engineering and design techniques via CAD, CFD, 3d Scanner, CMM arm, and laser tracker, just to mention a few. I also have extensive program management skills to keep your project on time and on budget regardless of complexity. The only tool I need to complete my roster is a Leonardo, which I consider a necessity.

Since I already own 99% of the equipment and resources listed, I believe me and my team can bring your dream to life and/or service your valued asset for significantly less then any dealer or other independent with HIGHER quality. I'm retired, I don't need to make a killing! The rub, you need to be willing to drive out to gods country (inland empire) or have us transport your car to and back.

If there's interest, I'll start making plans to pull my equipment from storage and setup shop. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Cheers, Mark.

 

Thanks for the advice. Yes, references are important considering the investment involved. Starting off small (oil changes, basic service, etc) to gain trust is a must.
I'm a strong believer that communicating one-on-one with the customer to help them understand (to whatever technical level they can comprehend) not only the what's that needs to be done but the WHY's as well usually promote confidence. If given the chance, even the technically challenged customer can tell the difference between a BSer and someone that knows what they are talking about.
My experience has been that knowing why trumps only knowing how. It's the old "give a man a fish . . . .teach him how to fish . . . " parable that rings true.
A Ferrari is a special car no doubt. It's a total package of sight, sound, sensation, and exclusivity. However, the systems, manufacturing and operational constructs are not that much different from any modern car.
On the other hand, relatively speaking the factory Ferrari documentation of said systems SUCKS from what I've seen so far. I'm sure that's intentional and makes it tougher on guys like me. To make it you gotta be smarter than the average bear that's for sure.
