Im not really sure where to post it but im trying to find someone who is an amsoil dealer who can just share their experience with me as to how they like it and other info like that. im considering becoming a dealer but id like to know from someones personal opinion, how they like it and if they actually make income from it.


thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

 

I am an ceritified and licensed Amsoil dealer. The startup process is a pain in the donia as there is tons of paperwork to look over/fill out and lots of products to research but its well worth it especially if you live in an area with many tuned cars or just people who love their cars in general. (milwaukee, WI )

As for income, it depends on how much you advertise yourself and how much business you actually get. Everyone has different experiences. Let me know how it works out for you.

 

BTW, does your username mean you rally your s2k?! or you just like rally?

 

drudging up an old post here but:

cliff notes:

Order Amsoil, make a silly request in the "special instructions", get a bunny drawn on your box!

 

Amsoil rocks!
Hahah loved that thread and the idiots who actually flamed the guys request for a bunny! Some people need a good donkey punch to remind them where they stand ^^

 

 

I looked into carrying the line in my store. The margins were shit. Of course the rep said we could make it up in volume. Idiot.

 

thanks for chiming in guys.... i dont mind the pain in the ass paperwork, im more worried about like a buy in requirement, i dont have like a grand to drop on overstock amsoil to sit in my garage kinda thing....

can i ask you what kind of profit margins you see? specifically in the oil since i believe thats what would sell the most? feel free to PM me abotu it if you dont want to divulge such information publicly

 

i used to own an STI... and all my screen names were "STIRally" when i sold my sti for my s2k... i figured it was easier to remember this name... since its so close to my other name

 

If you are buying and holding inventory, especially inventory for a niche market, you need a 50% margin (buy for a dollar sell for two). You'll never get that with a petroleum product. If you can average around 50% with the entire range, you're doing better. Don't let the rep stroke you into believing that the average customer buys six quarts and that's how you make your money. IIRC, profit was something like 15 or 20 cents on a $2 quart. My numbers might be off, but my proportion is close. At that range you will quickly learn you are wasting your time and tying up your cash.
