Hard to do, but you may succeed. Pretty competitive online market for the parts so you will probably need to offer something to sell not as easily available in your area. You can start in social media and test the waters.
Keep in mind you need to incorporate and file with the secretary of state, get a tax certificate, business license, several other licenses I forget. Set up a Quickbooks and learn how to use it.
When I was in business, we legally had to pay cash at delivery for inventory (Liquor Retailer). Checks were OK but no credit card or any type of "30 day terms" or financing allowed. I had around $150K plus or minus in inventory at any given point. Many other businesses are allowed 30 day terms.
Rent can be a big expense BUT it might be OK for you to lease a less expensive location for your business. if your business is more of a specialty type where your customers "need" to come to you then locations are cheaper. I know of a local late model dynamometer tuning shop. They are hidden away where you would never see them as you drive by. This shop has about a dozen lifts and they are always at FULL capacity. They are making it work.
