A breakdown of a "boring" local business: a car rim repair operation in LA charging up to $600/hour. Why it works: dramatic before/after visuals, real skill that can't be DIYed, and a genuine pain point. The owner dominates Google search and has 20,000 Instagram followers.
The takeaway: plenty of non-tech, skill-based local businesses like this are hiding in plain sight.
