Also making good money at a performance shop is difficult. People think all tuners and high performance workshops are rolling in it, reality is, they are not. The cost of equipment is insane. Then you have rent, a shopfront you need someone in, etc etc. Compare that to my tradie mates who need bugger all tools and don't get out of bed for less than $800 a day, it's a business of passion for cars more than money.

Sure some shops are rolling in it, but they work a lot harder, longer and pay a lot more to keep a shop open.
