Getting Started

Starting your own repair business requires a lot of knowledge, and not just about what you’re fixing. Knowing what you need to run a competent, efficient, and honest repair business is incredibly important, and these pages are here to help you out. To be a part of the Pro Tech Network, you need to follow the Repair Technician’s Creed. This is a code of ethics that defines the responsibilities that you need to run a repair business. It includes following laws and being environmentally responsible, among other things. You’ll also need knowledge about data security information- what it is, why it’s important, and what you can do to ensure the privacy of your customers.

Having a repair business isn’t just about philosophy, however. You’ll also need a workspace, and the tools to go with it. Are you running this business out of your home, a rented space, or even your vehicle? You’ll need good lighting, a safety standards-compliant work surface, and a reliable set of tools.

With a working knowledge of the ethics and practices that are required to run a repair business with the help of the Pro Tech Network, and a workspace to support your efforts, you’ll be able to move on to the next steps in starting your own repair business.
