I was co-owner of a such a shop.
The general repairs provided steady income; tranny repairs were the gravy.
The rate of transmission repairs wasn't predictable.
When/if transmission repairs were plentiful some of the general repair could be postponed without damaging customer service.
During slow times, transmissions could be rebuilt and placed in stock for future use.
Good luck. If you're skilled at your craft you'll do fine.

Wonderful, thank you for your reply.

Say, if I could trouble you further..

Can you give me a rough estimate of how many transmissions you repaired in a given year and the aproximate population of the city or town you were located in? Did you ever try to arrive at an average of when they failed exactly?

I really wanted to specialize here. Deal specifically with transmissions. It would cut down on the parts inventory and specialized equipment significantly.

I honestly don't have much interest in being a catch all mechanic.
