Good job! Hey, a first aid kit, a headlamp, knee pads, a compact mechanics tool set, a quality spray bottle and AAA (for yourself 😜) are a definite must. Lastly, elaborate some more on how you acquire your customers. ✌🏼✊🏼
I carry an assortment of screws as well. If its not too far for them to travel and the spare is not good or something you can screw one in the tire and air it us. With the right size it will be a slow leak and you can follow then to the tire store. Good explonation and list of stuff.
Thank you for the info. I’ve been on the fence about starting a roadside assistance business as part time and then eventually making it full time. I’m pretty knowledgeable on the 4 topics you discussed. My 2 biggest fears are the steps to making it a legitimate business and capitalizing on the market for potential growth.
@@roadsidegenius What about calls? Will big companies like AAA be working along side us and handing down calls that will take longer for them to get to?
@@roadsidegenius What I’m trying to find out is if I work with y’all will I have calls sent directly to my phone daily or is this like an advertisement for your business
Thanks for making this video. I’m a simple guy trying to start something for himself. This is helping me out huge . I’ll do my best to pass it forward 😉😎
Where’s those knee pads at and first aid kits that ground is painful also don’t forget the cones for safety great video as are all of them started because of a video i saw a few years back from you
I love JNC the only jump box I use. Testing the battery pretty much sells itself too. Every time I show the customer my tester and that the battery needs to be replaced the 1st question out of their mouths are, do you replace batteries? Why yes I do😉. Great video man. Just one thing, Do you have a Master spline locking lugnut removing kit? That's another huge problem I run across often. People buying used vehicles with splined locking lug nuts for aftermarket rims that didn't come with the spline socket. Or they lose the spline socket themselves, Either way that kit has saved me tremendously.. If you don't have one I highly recommend it.
Just seen the srs videos , and thanks for yours too good info 💯 and Sam said boots are for men . And if you wanna work in flip flops more power too you 😂. I think he was talking about you 😂😂. Just kidding bro. But he did say that .
@ I have a full tool bag of keys Saved my ass a time or two i charge an extra 20 $ every time one of those comes out I hate the dam up sale of those things. By dealerships Call it a agro charge to remove the useless thing
I left a comment about tools ok we have about the same I do have the tire plug and play but that t-bone I'm definitely getting thanks for showing the gear bro
Was kinda looking to get in on roadside assistance business, would you recommend safety Hazzard triangles, or lug nut keys? I want to make sure I'm prepared for almost anything that may be thrown at me.
Mr.quickpick. I want to start a road service business but for commercial trucks. How much should you charge to go to someone like what should the travel fee be? Or free?

Not to hate but Ive been doing roadside a long time. I dont carry half of that stuff and I do just fine. My only problem now is getting people to call me. I dont know who to contract for. Can you recommend?
@@roadsidegenius I have it all since I am a mechanic. I'd like to know how you do business because I'm getting like no calls right now. Located in Pennsylvania
Hey julio my name is Sergio I'm looking for insurance company for my mobile Road service any company that you will recommend I will appreciate, I'm in California thanks
Torque sticks are so inaccurate best to just use a torque wrench, doesn’t take long to use a torque wrench that’s just being lazy yes you wanna do a quick job quick turnovers you don’t wanna put on someone’s tire in the tire fall off
Well, I offer Mobile Tire services and sometimes I have to leave a jack on site and sometimes the view customers vehicles on the ground and there’s no room for a 3 ton
@@roadsidegenius get yourself a larger vehicle than what you have, and use the one three ton jack, and use jack stands instead of leaving your floor jack onsite for someone to possibly steal.
@@roadsidegenius I sure have! Freightliner Cascadia. It was completely dead. I put a Goodall Startall on it, fired right up. It's around the size of a JNC. It costs around $800 though but I 100% recommend it.

Good stuff!
When doing a lockout you have 2 in or 3 in painter tape to cover the paint or molding so you don’t scratch it

Go for it!
Awesome detailed video! Very entertaining.
Another thing I would add is a piece of 1 1/2inch pipe about 3' long for the really tough lug nuts. Either for use on your 4 way or your breaker bar.
Thanks for making this video. I’m a simple guy trying to start something for himself. This is helping me out huge . I’ll do my best to pass it forward 😉😎
How do u start and do what is needed to be legal
Would love to talk about this set a meeting info.roadsidegenius.com/cash-calls
I carry about 25% or less of what you showed. I work the repo lot and service department . What I carry does it all.
I bet you tow cars with stripped lug nuts?

How do you find your leads?
Great info, the two items are Allen Wrench or some peolpe call them Hex Key Wrench.
Good catch!

Wheel lock keys I have maby 75-100 different ones expensive to get in to but gets you out of a bind
I hear ya, those sets can get expensive. But they are worth it in the long run.

Very helpful video
Glad you think so!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
What ton floor jack would you need for pickup trucks?
Where di you bought the access tools brand ( the best tools)?
I bought it from Harbor Freight.
How would a LLC OR WHAT type of insurance would help me out I just got my business name with the city or what would you recommend
Great info thx…is it safe to store a gas can in the trunk of my car or no? I don’t have a suv/van
I only carry it when I need it
You put gas in it on the way to your call you stop and get gas so you're not always carrying it around
Pluging a cable from lighter to a Battery operated junp box does not save memory you need to have a car memory tool that plugs into obd port
Exactly.
Was kinda looking to get in on roadside assistance business, would you recommend safety Hazzard triangles, or lug nut keys? I want to make sure I'm prepared for almost anything that may be thrown at me.
I recommend both
What is the best way to advertise my self to get calls for roadside assistance?
Ads
Where'd you get your strobe light?
Amazon

Where can I buy the locks outs. ??
Amazon
Are the wedges hard plastic or semi soft plastic? They don't damage the paint on cars on ocassion?
@@roadsidegenius oh ok, awesome! Great vids, man 👍
There are some claer plasic type dividers like the ones u see in school note books ...use these between the car and wedges
@@ROBERTAARONHERRERA1 thanks for the tip 👍
Wire snips? Uh bolt cutters and Allen wrench set
Hex keys or allen keys
Yo llevo 3 años haciendo asistencia en carretera y es bien difícil conseguir clientes

Why carry two jacks, it makes no sense. When you can just carry one 3 ton jack that will lift all vehicles. and save some room in your ride.
Well, I offer Mobile Tire services and sometimes I have to leave a jack on site and sometimes the view customers vehicles on the ground and there’s no room for a 3 ton
Because everything is subject to fail, particularly jacks are the most used tool in roadside assistance, it is HIGHLY ESSENTIAL.
@@roadsidegenius get yourself a larger vehicle than what you have, and use the one three ton jack, and use jack stands instead of leaving your floor jack onsite for someone to possibly steal.
@@juarez97 nah,that’s not the case. But you’re right though everything does fail.
A Goodall Startall will jump a tractor trailer from complete dead
Thanks for that!
Have you tried it yourself ?
@@roadsidegenius I sure have! Freightliner Cascadia. It was completely dead. I put a Goodall Startall on it, fired right up. It's around the size of a JNC. It costs around $800 though but I 100% recommend it.
Watching 2 inches of screen is absurd, dude fix yo shit!
😂 get a torque wrench
Definitely.
