You'll be fine as long as you do good work and keep a good stock of parts. It's always great to have the little things that other big shops overlook like the aforementioned different lug nuts, antisieze, and other bits and pieces. I'd also become an Amsoil dealer. That shit's THE BEST motor oil (actually proven to beat out Royal Purple in coefficient of friction tests) and it's insanely hard to find unless you happen to know some guy who sells it out of his garage or something. start looking around at other stores in your area and see what they carry and what they don't carry that you, as an enthusiast, would like to see in a shop. Also start familiarizing yourself with all kinds of makes and models unless you plan on hiring mechanics to do the actual work (if you in fact are going to be doing work there). I'd volunteer myself, but I've got two years of school left (I'm through the mechanic stuff...now working on the business side). Damn school...never did nothin for nobody.
