Congratulations on the business. I too recently started doing mobile mechanics again. I had a business up until 2017 when I took a job at a dealership. Life changes has brought me back to the business. Best of luck to you!

Hi, just a quick notice I'm definitely way younger than you and if you don't want to take the advice from me then I understand. I have noticed that you haven't gotten a reply to your question and I would be happy to talk about it with you since I'm extremely passionate about vehicle maintenence. As you mentioned you've been working for someone for 15 years and that's quite a long time. Now to the real question, is it worth it to become a mobile mechanic or open your own shop. They have their ups and downs but it really depends on where you live. In America, from my research when I was looking into it, you'd get a lot more opportunities as a Mobile Mechanic, rather than opening your own shop. With that being said it can be harder to work as a Mobile Mechanic due to restrictions of just a van and equipment. Although, becoming a Mobile Mechanic would be better financially as you don't really have to worry about paying rent and other expenses on top of owning your own shop. In the UK, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland it could be more difficult to break through the Mobile Mechanic scene unless you work for one of the big companies here, for example RAC or The AA. (both specialise in mainly breakdown recovery though). Expenses for vans can get pretty high, especially if you're looking to buy a brand new van. It's also expensive to buy a used van that actually works as well over here. So if you live in that kind of area it could be a better idea to open your own shop. All of that said, it can be difficult breaking through in the Mobile and Shop Mechanic scene, really anywhere. It's completely how you brand and advertise if you want to get noticed. I'm not going to give you a definitive answer but I'll just quickly highlight what both can do for you and maybe choose based on preferences. If you're on a lower budget and don't mind paying for petrol (fuel/gas) and like to drive and help people who really need it urgently, then become a Mobile Mechanic. (this is the career path I will be choosing) If you're not too worried about the budget and more or less worried about equipement and restrictions then go for a Shop Mechanic. Will just be harder to get your name out there. I really hope this helps!
