Well I’m writing a business plan for my entrepreneurship class, and I need to do market research and find out some industry trends and what not. Ive tried a few different databases and websites, but eventually didnt find much of what I needed. Anyone know of a good place to find this information without paying a thousand dollars for a consolidated report?

Its for an import repair/tuning shop.  
The NCAIS code is 8111118  
The SIC code is 7538.

Any help would be appreciated.
