And it doesn’t involve Nigerian princes, this time!
So we open up a shop, but not just any shop. It’d be like a combination of a lube joint, electronics, and a tire shop. That way we don’t have to do any of the hard stuff like clutches or head gaskets, but we can just cross sell the shit out of stuff. We’d do half the work and make twice the money!
Oh, while you’re waiting on your new head unit to be installed we can also change your oil.
Or, while we’re installing your new amp and sub, we can do your brakes!
Or, someone comes in with a flat tire and we offer them a discount on getting a push button start installed!
See, It’d be gangbusters! And WobblesTheMind could do advertising for us, because I think one time he said he worked in marketing or something!
Then for the more experienced Oppos we could get a dealer licence and buy cars at auctions to work on and flip when business is slow!
Oh I almost forgot. We have a couple of chefs on Oppo, so they could have a diner inside! Ikea does it, why not us?
IT’S GENIUS!!!

An Oppo speed shop would be pretty cool. I’m down for clutches and head gaskets too.

I’ve actually been thinking about how good of a business idea it would be to start an oil change place that leaned heavily on a mobile app.
Run most of the scheduling from an app, let people choose the day and time they want to come in, give them a price up front, offer add-on options before checkout like changing the air filter, etc. Payment would happen after, but since everything is arranged in advance (with a slight premium), there wouldn’t be any stressful up-selling or “I legally can’t let you drive this car” for the consumer. The app could be set up with push notifications every few months saying that it’s probably time to change the oil, and would the costumer like to schedule an appointment.
Hell, for the particularly OCD customers, you could even let them watch the oil change on a webcam through the app, or have a progress tracker that keeps track of parts as they get signed out by the technician.

This sounds like a terrible idea. Let’s do it.

All I want is for someone to do an oil change while my car is parked at the airport. How hard can it be?

I’m sure we have Oppos that can code!

The new motto of Oppo. If it wasn’t already the motto.

Sure, but you’ll also have to pay for the brake job and tire rotation :)

Just ask the shop to throw in a drop off and pick up.

I’ve seen one. Is it a bike shop that serves beer or something? That doesn’t sound nearly as SYNERGETIC as this.
See, I’ve even got the business buzzwords down! ^_^

Ha close. If you could masquerade it as a tech company you’re in.

So, basically...it would be like a Japanese auto parts store (Autobacs, Yellow Hat, etc.), minus the full-on parts store part or tires? Because that’s what it sounds like to me.
I’d throw in a used car showroom on the side of the building with a decent sized lot, too.
