Starting a buisiness

Marty, if you can swing it that $300 per month is cheap. Only you know if it is time to take the risk or not. I would say go for it but stay on the safe side. Which is to say make sure you have your assets protected. If you try you will succeed! word of mouth is a powerful tool. I have a friend who went on his own in a town of 800 people in the middle of no where and he could work 24/7 and never catch up. He has 2 other wrenches too. You have a big town to draw from and good reputation. Just make sure you can open with the right equipment and the place looks top notch. People who are not mechanically inclined judge you buy their first impression, so make the place look organized and professional.
