“Opening a Car Accessories Store”
Comment Page 2

@Nishin  : You should concentrate on Low cost products like mats, mudflaps, antennae, bumper protectors, door visors etc as your total budget will not support you to go for high value products.

@ishant kamra, Most of the suppliers are based in Central and West Delhi itself. Branded products are available through Distributors in Delhi. Please send me an email about this . I will provide you phone numbers of the distributors.

@AKHILESH CHANDRA, This forum is about Car Accessories which you did not mention! However as i am also in e commerce, i can suggest you to go for it. E-commerce is the business of future. In coming 2-3 years e commerce is expected to change the shopping habits of Indians with convenience and efficiency. 

Having an online store will help you address a larger number of customers in a borderless world. However there are several pro's and con's which would be difficult to explain here for the sake of Topic of the Forum. You can email me at md@easytradestore.com for guidance over online stores or e commerce also.

@sravan: Tyres is a high volume, low margin business . Branding is very important as the customers prefer BrandShops. If the shop location is good, i will advise to go for a Brand shop instead of a multi brand retail outlet. This is just for retailing of Tyres.

However if you combine it with service , alignment etc, then the scene will be different or opposite. Sticking to one brand will limit your scope to followers of a single brand only. So i would not advise for a Single brand of tyres in such a situation. Finally all depends upon your budget and shop location.

@P B Rangarajan, Your post says that you are interested to open a stationary shop? 

@Sandeep, Warangal. I have information about 2-3 shops of car accessories already in Warrangal who are doing good business. One of them it Sadguru Car Decors. What is your idea of Car Garage? Is it a Car Service Station or Simply a Car Accessories shop?  Also Please provide your email so that i can send you more information.

@Jasim, Kasargod, Kerala:  I have sent you an email. For Kasargod, 3-4 lakhs will be a very small amount as there are already big shops like PITSHOP in completion . I advise you to go for wholesale of Front Guards, Side Bars and rear guards  or distribution  of seat covers or manufacturing of enclosures as these are in good demand there. AND your budget suits these.

@Sravan . I understand your request is based on following two factors:
1. You are interested in Tyre and allied services business .
2. You wish to have Multiple brands but do not wish to lose MRF business.
Please provide the forum details about Location, Area and Possible Investment Budget. Also please provide your email address.

I will definitely answer your queries but would like to inform you that generally Tyre business is not considered as a part of Car Accessories business in India. So other readers may not be interested to know more about it.

@pankaj choudhary, It should be approachable for the customer with enough space for car parking. For imported Accessories, Mumbai will suit you despite high prices as it is very near to you. For Indian Accessories, You will have to buy from Delhi.

@Jai, Congratulations on Joining the car accessories business. Answers to your queries are:

1. You can add Car spa , Tyre or used cars sale purchase business with Existing Car Accessories Business.
2. yes there is a good market at Bangalore where you will find Branded High End Audio, Luggage carriers and Car Specific Accessories either cheaper or the latest arrivals.
3. You can save a lot by buying from Mumbai or Delhi Market but you need to assess the savings by comparing the cost of procurement if quantities are low as indicated by you.

@Jyoti, Your budget is too low for this business in South Delhi. I advise you not to go for it, . If possible, try to learn this business by associating yourself (Without Financial Exposure) with some accessories traders. This will give you a fair idea on how to work within a small budget. For more details my email address is always there.

@Harsh Patel, 
1. Your Budget is OK. Please visit Mithakali Area . There are many wholesalers working in this area. If you buy from Delhi for the first Stocks, you may save around 20 to 30 percent , however in long run , you will have to depend upon these wholesalers for day to day supplies.
2. If you need names and addresses of these wholesalers, please send me an email.

@Kumar. as per your budget, you can focus on one or two car brands for car parts. Tamilnadu has sizable numbers for HYUNDAI, and ford cars. You can concentrate on parts for these two car makes .for more queries, write an email in detail.

@shafeek k kabeer, I request you to read my post #234 above. Please provide required information to make me understand your point better. Regards

@ARAVIND, Hubli has few retailers who are direct dealers of popular brands. But as far as i know there is no wholesalers there. With a limited budget like this, you shall have to depend upon a nearby market to manage your inventory with frequent purchases. So Bangalore and Chennai can suit you. Visit JC ROAD , Banagalore. There is a good wholesale market for car accessories. For Car Audio. Visit SP road in Banagalore. For more info, send me an email.

@Puneet Gupta, Yamuna Nagar has a good car accessories market near Madhu Cinema (Now Hotel). The factors you have mentioned speak positively about business potential. Please go ahead with your plan. There is no reason to think otherwise. 

@fayaz, Please read post #234 above. Send me an email with these details to make me understand your point. Meanwhile read all above posts. These should give you some idea about this business.

@Vicky Kathuria, I am doing E commerce , Retail and Wholesale of car accessories. These simply translate like Future , present and  Past of business. If you have enough patience and money to invest, Invest in future, Earn through Present, and never forget your past.

@navratan surana, Please read all ( my) comments. This will give you enough insight into this biz. for more info, read post #234 and provide details as mentioned there. best wishes.

@sai, Chennai is nearer than bangalore for you. moreover, GP road market in Chennai is far far more developed than JC road in bangalore. I think u will get better stuff in Chennai. In addition, your wholesaler may introduce you to local supplier who can supply you the goods at your shop also. Keeping these points in mind, i do not find any merit in buying from Bangalore for you. Please discuss this with your cousin and take his views. 

@rakesh, All cities in Bihar are witnessing an exploding growth. Demand of car accessories has also increased in Bihar with sale of more Scorpio, Bolero and Duster. I think your idea is in lin eiwth the time. However, Pls provide details as per the post #234 as above for fruitful discussion. Best wishes
