A friend of mine bought an Alfa shop here in LA last year from the two original owners that wanted to retire. While they do regular maintenance work on all cars they could easily just handle Alfa's. They take in the other work because it is quick and good cash flow. I would imagine that you will be able to ask a lot more for an hourly wage than an Alfa shop if you develop a good reputation. I know on the rare opportunity that my 911 goes to a shop I need to book weeks in advance and hope my credit rating is still good. Reputation will be everything when you start. Taking on maintenance and smaller work will help cash flow. Long term work will tie up the shop for a while.
I would think your future would be very bright.
Wish my son went into the "trades"
