2007 Thoughts on Starting a Mobile Oil Change Business
For those of us who love cars and are mechanically inclined starting a small business, which has to do with auto-maintenance, makes a lot of sense. Many folks would love to own their own business as part of their American Dream. The question is what type of business can we see ourselves enjoying and excelling at and how on Earth would we come up with the $500,000 to $1,000,000 to start an Auto Maintenance Shop? Even renting a bay and buying all the equipment can be costly and run $100,000 to $250,000.
This is why many just starting out consider running a mobile oil change business instead. By running a mobile oil change business you delete the need for an expensive shop and can rent a small industrial space to park the equipment and store the bulk oil and waste oil for pickup. Starting a Mobile Oil Change Business sounds rather easy and everyone owns a car and there are many fleets of vehicles out there too that need preventative maintenance care such as oil changes. Getting business should be fairly easy right?
Indeed, there are certainly a lot of cars out there and they all need oil changes however there are issues, such as most of those vehicles do not get their regularly needed oil changes and there is an abundance of competition as well. Additionally, most people drive their cars different amounts of miles and that makes the routing and scheduling a little tougher, but all these issues can be overcome.
There are some really great Mobile Oil Change Business Manuals and Books you can buy. I recommend a few of them such as; Melric’s Book; http://www.melrics.com . Consider this a supplement to such well-written books on the subject and not necessarily a replacement. If you are going to start your own business you need to soak up all the information available. Having been in the Oil Change Business nearly a decade I have learned that efficiency, route-scheduling, marketing and referrals are the key to success. Of course you still need the fundamentals and this is why other books are also very good.
I appreciate you reading this book and I sincerely hope that you will use it as not only an operations manual but also as a thinking tool when developing your business plan, marketing plan and strategizing your future success. Although, this is my first article for 2007 on this subject, I doubt if it will be my last. Perhaps this article is of interest to propel thought in 2007?
