That is a good idea to build on. Shops out there can put their contact info on a link for prospective owners to cater to. One problem is there are not a lot of shops around, much less qualified techs, around any more.
Another problem is guys like me. I don't work at a retail shop anymore and everything would be considered as side work. Some car owners may be uncomfortable with this as I am not bonded or insured for car repairs at my place in the event something happens. Its still possible but would have to be worked out in advance.
Hope this helps, Bill
