Automobiles in Belize?

Hello from Corozal..

Just one thought...were I in your shoes, I don't think I'd be as concerned with quantity as with quality.  Having a clientele with adequate resources to pay for quality work seems to be a more desirable goal.  We have lots of shade tree mechanics here, some are acceptable, others, not so much.  We seem to struggle with a reliable individual who actually knows how to read diagnostics in later model US manufactured vehicles.  If you could provide that service and had the ability to set up a good supply chain of US parts, there probably wouldn't be enough hours in the day.

Hi Karen,  Thanks for your post!   I'm actually thinking Corozal seems to be the place to go. My partner has been a mechanic all his life and has run his own successful shop for the last 15 years.  He's very good, if I do say so myself.  Older or newer models, tractors, motorcycles,.... you name it, he can fix it!    Ideally it would be great to find an existing shop with accommodations so we can move in and start business right away.  If we have to build we will, but an existing    structure is our preference.   If you hear or see this in the next 12 months, please keep me in mind!   We're aiming for a move in about 18 months.   CHEERS!

Hello kim, i am a regular long stay Brit. (seven months this time,) i am a steel fabricating engineer
with a strange variety of experiences, from agricultural and forestry to racing car mods, to aircraft ground support equipment., material handling etc. etc.
     i have been thinking of building workshops near hopkins, just off the southern highway, i own 20 acres, i have just got outline permission for residential development on 10 acres.
     if you are interested in establishing a properly equipped workshop perhaps we should talk.
i am proposing a heavy goods unit, any thing beyond that is not of great interest to me, but could probally supply facilities.
i will be offline from may 14 till 19th.

Hi Malcolm, 
Nice to hear from you!    We haven't decided on an area to plant ourselves in yet, but if it happens to be near Hopkins (which I've heard is nice!),  I'll definitely be in touch! 

Thanx!
