Soon To Be Owner Of A Mobile Auto Repair Business

[DavidMoblieMechanic]

Hello ASO,

 

My name is David and Im coming from northern VA area. I’m in the early stages of putting together my business plan for my next business endeavor. While doing my research on logistics, outlook, etc. for my new business I came upon this site. I have to say all the data research and project and planning I’ve done, does not compare to the priceless information I have gotten from this site so far. Little about myself I’m a Jr. System Administrator that is about to finally finish my school with a bachelors in Communication Systems Administration. I used to run an online store that sold high end European parts a couple years ago that was pretty successful but I was not able to put my full 100% attention due to me being in school and a full time job. Due to my busy schedule my customer service suffered a bit so the decision was made to close it, with the hopes of doing it later down the road. Life happened and was forced to put plans and school on hold for a few years. I have been finally been able to pursue my dreams of opening my business and finishing school. School has always been very important to me as I am the first to attend and graduate from college in my family. I also thought it was very important to have a backup plan encase my business doesn’t go as planned. With my new business I’m planning to do it full time and enact things I learned from my first business. By no means will this be a backyard mobile business. It will be run like a professional shop with the exception of being mobile. I have worked on cars my whole adult life but by no means I’m I an expert mechanic with is why I will hire one. Like I said I’m in the early stages of planning everything and will be asking many questions and as I go I would be more then help fellow members as well.

Hey David, My name is Tim and I own an indipendent repair shop.When I first started my company I started it as a mobile repair service. Just like a fixed location it has its pros and cons. If you have any specific questions I would be glad to give you some input from the perspective of someone who has been there.

Welcome, Should a mobile shop have instant towing available and have a base garage/parking lot for the problem cars?
