I like the idea, especially with qualified mechanics ready and willing to walk you through and double check your work so you don't absolutely screw something important up.
But those prices seem high. I laugh at the $15 oil change special. Most dealers around here and normal mechanics charge $15 to change your oil just to get you used to coming to there shop, so to pay that and have to pay for the oil/filter/ etc is just funny.
But as you mentioned every area is different, and if it is in a high priced location it might work.
But to make it profitable I think you would need to be talking to every single club in the area, and if you could try to find enough property so you could at least host some type of event as well, like autocross or something. Or maybe a small kart/single car time attack style track. And host meets at all hours. I think it would be a very intensive business to get off the ground, and then if you had cars guys hanging out for meets all the time you could have it be successful as a business. And then you would add side businesses, like car wash, parts shop, fast food restaurant, etc. Basically if you could create a great hangout place for car guys you could make it work.
But if you are affiliated with race clubs and the like it could help jump it off.
