Mobile mechanics would probably be the better option. Home daily, much cheaper operating costs, and you work where you want. Honestly. I miss hotshot dearly, and one day, I'll probably go back when I'm older, and I don't wanna wrench anymore. But that's a hard ass life if you have a family. Doing your own thing for mobile would be good. You would basically be on call constantly, so you would be waiting for the phone to ring. Really, google advertising and you would be set and super busy making money equivalent to what you make now is where it could be tough, especially in the beginning. I think the freedom would be nice! A guy I know does mobile auto maintenance for cars. He basically does oil, brakes, suspension, and services. He does decent, but getting steady work is where it's hard. Good for a side gig, but he can't keep it steady. He has been doing it for about 2 years. He like converted half his garage into a parts warehouse. Got a small van and just does his thing.

@TylerTheFieldServiceTech thanks for take the time for request , and how you know price the jobs?, I know the prices form the shop where I work now, are super high, but being a mobil service that is going to be little bit cheaper?

@allanherrera9549 I don't run my own truck. Most commonly though you just charge an hourly rate probably around 120-180 and a travel rate then you add a percentage on top of your part purchase cost. Mobile Service is usually more expensive than shop service. But you also have to be competitive and not be greedy. Getting your customers is the tough part. But If you can get in good with a company and basically bill them for a guaranteed hour amount per week plus parts you're set.
