How dirty would a robot clinic be? It's not like an auto repair place where you have dirty petrol engines with smoke and dirty filters and burning oil; it'd probably be more like an electronics repair shop, but on a larger scale. In fact I'd think that robot repair would require a relatively clean environment; sophisticated electronics don't do well in smoke and dirt.

And she managed to tolerate band practice in a warehouse.

I suppose it would be rather like a Tesla repair shop -- no internal combusion engines, just electrics and electronics. I would imagine that some of the moving parts in both electric cars and electric robots might need lubrication occasionally, though, so some oil would probably still be necessary.

A race engineering shop isn't usually dirty. The problem with a retail shop is that everything that comes in is filthy, and if you do a concours standard clean of the entire vehicle, engine bay, underside and all before you start, then your prices are uncompetitive.  So as long as the AIs coming into the shop have excellent personal hygiene then the shop will be inherently clean, but if they are coming in straight off the building site or factory covered in crud then the shop will need a lot more work. But Bubbles doesn't strike me as the type that would be happy working in a messy environment.

Morituri:
I'd say May for receptionist (yeah, I know - but I think she has the good sense to keep a lid on her foul mouth, and would actually appreciate the job enough to make an effort to be friendly and competent), Punchbot for CPA (probably a once-a-month appointment where they are his customers rather than a full-time relationship where he is their employee).

Offhand I'd say their prospects are good.  They've got an established clientele who trust them and their work already, who will go on needing their services if they go on working at a business Punchbot & Jeremy are trying to take legit.  And if the fighting ring goes legit, odds favor it expanding. When new fighters ask for a recommendation, Bubbles & Faye are likely to get happy referrals.

And by offering (and working with/on) one-off mods as well as simple repairs, they're offering something that I don't think there's much competition for - at least none that we've seen.  They're putting themselves in the position of the 'custom shop' that does custom work to request, where everybody else in town is a dealership that deals in standard models only and makes standard repairs only.
