    I hate to break it to you.......There is nothing rewarding about charging less and you'll never make it doing so. You are providing a convenience service and that convenience needs to be charged for not at a discount. These days the average home is 430k and takes 120k to get approved along with other factors. Don't offer services too cheap and no flex working til midnight.

People pay more for MILK at the convenience store than the supermarket...this business is the same....or you can let them spend hours at the shop. People who sell "cheap" instead of benefits or value...get customers who dont value them OR they stay broke...
      I used to tell our owner to STOP with the 19.99 flyers trying to attract new customers...because ALL you attract are people who will come to your shop for a 19.99 oil change not FIX any of the dozens of issues you find...then be looking for the NEXT cheap oil change months later..NEVER EVER sell "cheap" in this business

You arent selling "mobile" to the customer you are selling CONVENIENCE for the customer or else they are spending all day in the shop...you are NOT selling "cheaper than the shop" if that is your goal you are going about it all wrong...
    You are providing VALUE to the customer..it is an inconvenience for them to spend time at a shop...and THIS is the pain you are solving..if you are solving for "price" you are doing yourself a disservice and attracting the wrong customers.

    A mechanic business can be lucrative if you know how to run it. Mobile mechanics is not one of them. Why so? because you don’t want cheap customers , give all the cheap customers to your competitor while you keep the good paying ones. Most mobile mechanic customer are cheap. They expect to pay less since they know you don’t have a lot of the overhead that a regular shop has. Also I working with a jack and jack stand is a hassle. You want to have a lift to make your life easier. I know a shop owner who’s bill just to run his shop cost 50k a month. In spite of that he rake in 75k to over 100k a month. It’s all about how you run your business. Still I think you are good in business because you can make 150k a year doing mobile mechanics but you should be working toward having a shop. Your income would be in a million or more if you run it right

      @@HuChing-ob4kk True but there is one main reason why I quit doing mobile mechanic and opened my own shop. I just can’t crawl under a car, I got to have a lift in certain jobs. Sometimes I do mobile but it’s to swap out a hybrid battery and I charge extra for going to their place and they have to pay me in advance and here is an example. I had a customer who went to the dealer and dealer said he just need a hybrid battery. So I had him pay first. then after I installed the hybrid battery his engine can now crank (on hybrid the hybrid battery cranks the engine it has no starter)the only problem it has mechanical issue and won’t start. Came to find out his timing chain snapped and the sprocket twisted off the bolt. If I had not have him pay first he would be reluctant to pay since it did not fixed the problem. My mistake when I did mobile mechanic then was I used to take jobs without me diagnosing the problem first like a guy who had me change all the spark plug and coil on plugs thinking it would solve his misfire problem and when it did not he blame me and said I did not do it right when he probably had wiring issue of a bad ECM.

      It's basically the same as running a one-man shop - just without shop overhead. Your guy is making that, because he has staff - not because he has the shop. THis guy in the vid gets it. He's outsourcing some of the labor, taking his shop fee from the mechanics working for him, and not worrying about paying for real estate. Overhead is the money pit in any business. He can pull more profit by virtue of not having a shop to rent/mortgage than a guy who has a freestanding shop, day to day. One guy shop can do about the same amount of bigger jobs he's doing per day. his big thing is going to be his travel time and wear/tear on the shop truck. Your guy is making what he is, because he's hiring guys to do more jobs, or he's fitting in more jobs per day and charing more than this guy. Managig those customer expectations - is any kind of shop. You rent a run-down, two-bay garage - people are going to want to pay less than if you run an operation like one of the bigger shop chains. It's part of marketing any business. Managing your optics. It takes time to become established enough to charge more - and this guy's doing it right. His problem is really just not charging enough and having to be his own secretary, but like he says here, he's fixing that. And I'm willing to bet your guy is pulling that six figures in gross revenue, and that means roughly fuckall for the back office. His profit and take-home matter more. If he's taking home six a month - he's not reinvesting enough anyway, and isn't running his shop well. But what you make and what the business makes - are two very diff things for any business.

The right shoes, eye protection, jack stands, legs under a vehicle with no jack stands!? He is a nice kid but an accident wating to happen. In our shop we would give him the nickname of "Safety Hazard"..."Hey come here "Safety Hazard"..."Hey Safety Hazard go pull that car in"...lol

    Worst part of being a mobile mechanics is customers do not see the expertise inside your brain they only see the hand that does the work and they don’t realize they are really paying 80 percent of the bill from what’s in your brain not what your hand is doing. Then they feel like they are being charged too much. Then they have customers ask you to change a part because auto parts employee diagnosed it for them. Turns out it is not the problem and they blame you for not fixing the problem.

      even those Rang Rovers he works on has electronic brake systems which require a scantool to retract the calipers (of course there is a way to do it manually too)

    I know this mans exact struggle. I work as a software engineer now and was at work reminiscing about the old mobile mechanic days, I live in North Carolina right now, but used to do Mobile Mechanic work off Facebook and Craigslist in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Don't listen to these people saying you need all these fancy tools, you can get just about anything done with just about anything harbor freight/walmart sells. If I were to give you advice, GTFO of Grand Rapids, that rust makes every job a bitch and a half and you can get them done in half the time if you move down south.

    Lots of comments on here about him showing up to a job wearing flip flops. Funny story: I used to work at a large aircraft maintenance shop, and a Gulfstream G5 had to divert and do an emergency landing at our airport due to an indicated gear hydraulic failure (luckily it was just a warning light malfunction). Turns out, the aircraft belonged to the owner of the 49ers ball team, and he was on his way to his villa in Montana. Anyway, when they landed, a limo picked the owner up. His pilots came in the office wearing ball shorts and flip flops. Moral of the story? They don't get paid for what they wear, they get paid for their skills. If I need someone to fix anything for me, they can show up wearing a Halloween costume for all I care.
