The business was in a Chicago suburb of ~ 85,000 with several other tranny shops including at least 3 national chains.
All the shops (including the chains) did some general repair.
Failure seemed to be linked to the "towing season"; people towing boats and trailers during summer vacations or off roading in water and not changing their fluid.
You'll find you don't need much in specialized equipment and inventory costs for tranny parts are very small.
If you decide to also do general repair, most parts are ordered on an on needed basis.
Again, good luck!

Thanks again Sister Golden Hair. Hey, before you go.. can you give me a rough estimate of how many you did monthly or yearly?
Just a ballpark, if you can remember..
