In these totes he carries nearly every part he needs and almost never has to return later for a replacement part. He does not share his financials but for all appearances he is doing very well, his wife does not work outside the house and he has a special needs son.
I did a google search for "washer repair" and this guy(my friend)came up #4 after Sears #1 and two other paid ads. So he is #1 on google here in my area. I don't know how you get to number one on google but others on the forum could help you there.
If I was physically able this is one of the businesses I would be looking at. You have all the practice appliances you need to get the education and learn the parts supply side of it.
You may want to take this as a great opportunity to make a change in your direction.

Appliance repair is a great business to be the hourly rates are good and best of all you are paid travel time to the job - service call.
My service call fee was $30.00 if the repair took less than half an hour I only billed for the service call.
