Focus on brakes, alternators, starters, suspension, and steering. Don't do oil changes unless they are having something else done. Don't be cheap. You are a convenience. They get to stay home, not pay a tow truck, or take time off of work. You are working in the weather with no infrastructure. Charge for it. Make sure you have required permits and pay your taxes. Finally, Don't work in the street and dont use jackstands on asphalt or uneven ground.

[@dreamyworld4111]

What's the reason for not doing oil changes ?

[@420vizunproductions6]

@@dreamyworld4111I don’t do oil changes because to me after the price of oil & filter is factored in. It’s just not really much money in it for me. I’ve used gas, unloaded tools, gotten messy, reloaded tools, and only able to make a few dollars worth of profit. There’s only so much wiggle room before taking it in to a shop for the oil comes out cheaper for the customer. But that’s my opinion.

[@mlieser1230]

I used to do mobile service years ago for SAABs. I had a 3 drawer top chest. A small floor jack. Jack stands. I had a twin tank portable air compressor. All the items fit in the trunk of my 87 900 4dr sedan. If I had to pull a drivetrain I had an engine hoist and my F150 to haul it. I had a day job and just did repairs evenings and weekends. It was a great sideline.

[@semperfimechanic]

Bro sounds perfect man. I used the old beatty the honda accord for 18 months and the kia soul if you remeber her in the beginning

[@rock1richful]

You went a different direction then I thought you were. I've worked as a mechanic almost 40 years in a different field. I can guarantee we are a dying species. There is no interest from younger folks to do this work. Keep your head up Marine Bravo Zulu to you.

Theres plenty of interest. Many of people my age hate the flat rate pay system though. And not many shops offer salary or hourly wages.

[@iTsTHumpa]

This is true, there are still “car enthusiasts” my age (just turned 22) but none of them know shit about cars, they just like cars that look and sound cool and go fast. My grandpa and uncle RIP both are/were mechanics, so I grew up around cars but never lived close enough to really learn much from them. I’ve always loved cars but at the age of 20 my personal car started having problems and I couldn’t afford to pay for repairs so I did it myself and fell in love with working on cars. I guess it’s in my blood. Now im looking into starting my own Mobile mechanic business, im still no expert nor ASE certified but I’ve learned a lot through experience and I believe that to be the best teacher. Just pulled my first engine to replace the idler gear in my car. Everything went smoothly

[@IncognitoSprax]

Mainly because the places that hire under pay their employees, and it seems to be almost impossible to start your own shop on your own, even something as small as a shed if you don’t have one.

[@sheldonratner5424]

We are interested, young mechanic here mainly auto gas, but a little in the diesel field and I can say it’s not us it’s y’all not wanting to train us you old folk just wanna bitch and make fun of us lol.

[@plantmanstudios]

I was driving down the road and my car started to run rough. Then my car's check engine light started flashing. I began to get very concerned, I was on my way to a client's house. I dug out my code reader, cylinder 6 misfire. I drove it to a parking lot after my work was complete. I started diagnosing my car, turns out it was a coil pack. I replaced the coil pack and now check engine light is gone. Someone who isn't a mechanic would have had to have their car towed home or to a auto shop. If they could even get an appointment at a auto shop. Feels good man to be a mechanic. My code reader cost around $120. I love my scanner!

[@O.G_Stokes]

That literally the reason I became a mechanic just so I had a shop to work on my own shit lmaooo as long as I keep making the dealership money

[@joshdoeseverything4575]

I was a mobile mechanic for 3 years. Got tired of working in direct sun and not having a lift. After dealing with parts, gas, wasted time, etc I make more money at the shop.

[@semperfimechanic]

Brother I understand that man. The weather is the most overlooked part of it

[@Bababui69]

You can put the hydraulic lift in the van of truck. You can run the power from a mobile generator or the person's home. Outdoor commercial fans help. I worked as an industrial mechanic.

[@compton1707]

Sounds like you need a canopy 10x10 which you can get at harbor freight Amazon or academy sports for under $70 and trust me it comes in handy when it gets above 80°

[@victorhoyt4352]

As a mobile mechanic, I couldn't agree with you more. I hate working in the direct sunlight and on the ground. I wish I could have a lift at a home garage to do whatever repairs that are possible there. Also, when it rains, I am unable to do repairs, which impacts business as well. I did aquire a canopy, which has helped tremendously with the sun and rain, but it's not full proof. Also, I'm still on the ground, so it's not always a win. During the winter, it can be rough too, but living in Atlanta, it's pretty mild for the majority of winter. It has its ups and down, but I do enjoy working for myself. Maybe 1 day I will have some type of portable hydraulic lift system I can bring with me, but until then, it's on the ground I go...

I’ve been doing the mobile mechanic gig for the last 2 years. I’ve been a tech for 14 years. Understand electrical once you do purchase and learn how to use a scope. Your Mechanic paid me $64/hour and when you figure out hard diagnostics for people they don’t mind paying a bit more. Like you said a good mechanic is worth his weight in gold

Me doin motor jobs for them makin 150 bucks while the shops are pulling 1500 to 2k in my labor. It blows my mine what we make the man when doin it ourself we can charge 750 to 1k for the same job and the money is in our pocket and you just saved them half while making 4 or 5x what you would of doin it for someone else

Im proud of ya brother. If people know how much you can make there would be alot more mobile mechanics but I understand that people are scared to leave there job to start a mobile mechanic business but thats why I have these videos so to show people how they can do it and what steps to take

[@bustedaw11]

@@semperfimechanic thanks and same goes for you. I get the scary bit. I got 4 kids and getting started has been rough. My disadvantage is I'm in a small town compared to most. My advantage is that most folks know me because I've already been the guy working on thier cars at the local shop for years. It seriously doesn't make since to make other people money off YOUR labor.

[@EddieLeal]

Dealership service shops have gone down in quality service. I took my 2021 KIA RIO S to have its oil changed at our local KIA dealership and the tech forgot to install the new o-ring. You can probably guess what happened after that. Good thing I noticed the leak in time or else someone would be buying me a new engine among other things after I take them to court. Never trusting these dealership shops ever again. Doing my own work whenever possible.

[@jamosgarage9006]

Great video. I did mobile twice. Once in '08 for a second job. Then as my bread and butter from '16-'18. Did small stuff at the customer's. Had a lift at home for clutches, engine swaps and steering racks. Been working on Bank owned homes for nearly five years. Might go back to repairing cars.

I own a mobile mechanical repair business that repairs mowers, ATV, side by side and lots of other equipment. I got my cargo van set up with everything you wish you had in your van. I surely have the same attitude about the mobile repair business. The virus put a hurt on my service call numbers. Then came inflation and it slowed down some more. Here we are now and I'm only getting a few calls a week which is fine because I'm living in my van as designed so if there comes this need of urgency or just tired of the area I just go to a new area. 54 and very experienced with anything I work on. I like going out on a 10 minute service call and put $60 in my pocket. I can easily pay rent somewhere but I already like how I'm living compared to the house. The lake's in Texas are might fine this time of year then it's off to Colorado until heavy winter then a Florida winter. Have a Grand Business.

I have a couple questions that I’m hoping you could answer. I’m getting into the same field. I’m only 20 years old. I’ve grown up around the work my whole life and I love working on vehicles. I feel like I’m meant to do more in life than clocking in and out for 10 hours, 5 days a week. My family runs a shop that does very well, but I want to bring in my own business rather than take work away from them. The amount of knowledge is at my fingertips for free is endless and I would be wasting something amazing if I don’t capitalize on it. 100s of thousand of dollars worth of tools that I can use and get started for free. The only QUESTIONS that I don’t seem to get answered from KZbin at least is; What happens when you go on a call and you can’t do anything for the customer, or the customer isn’t happy but it isn’t your fault? What if they refuse to pay you? How do you deal with customers that you know nothing about? I’m more worried about how to deal with customers that DO NOT want to pay. Obviously I know there’s legal procedures that you could go through but at some point, from a small business/New business standpoint, it isn’t worth it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, idk who else to ask. Thanks

THANK YOU!! AND THANK YOU 4 SERVING.. RIGHT NOW I'M IN-BETWEEN BECOMING A MOBILE MECHANIC & A MOBILE WELDER... I LIKE WORKING ON VEHICLES BETTER. ON BOTH ACCOUNTS I ONLY HAVE SOME OF THE EXP./TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED, AND NO CERTS. I FEEL LIKE WELDING WILL BE EASIER FOR NOW BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK DOING IT 4EVER.

When you live outside of a major city You're lucky to get $25 per wheel On a brake job Of course it's better if they come to your place a lot easier..... Unless you present yourself as ASC certified Big truck and maybe advertise on google I don't know

[@vaderjones357]

Heya Thomas.....as usual I'm way behind. I've been stacking videos for weeks AGAIN.😎 I sure wish you were closer...my car is down right now and I haven't been able to deal with it.... I think it's the fuel pump.....she turns over n starts then immediately shuts itself down.....just ugg!!! You rawk man!! 🇺🇸🦾

[@pouncerminned863]

I am not much of a mechanic per see, But I am a mobile automotive locksmith. Its a bitch getting on google because of the rise in scammers, its basically very very very expensive to run ads, so I need to get business a different way.

I appreciate the video and advice ive struggled so bad trying to find a location to move into instead of doing everything in my driveway and you were talking about columbus ohio im in medina ohio

In Ohio Mechanics are required to complete a training program from the Training Repair Industry Advisory Group & have an ASE Level 1 certification

great video! my question is how do you do your rates? do you ask the customer "Hey what are they charging you hourly?" or do you look up book times somehow on jobs?

[@semperfimechanic]

There a apps and stuff like all data or mitchell 1 you pay a monthly fee and you can look up your job and will tell you how many hours it takes. I charge $100 per hour. Starting out I was charging $60 per hour so magbe charge in-between there

@@semperfimechanic Gotcha! One final question, im deciding should I do and LLC or sole prop? I know you became personally liable for the lawsuits and whatnot because of no LLC. Did you setup an LLC because of it? if so was it difficult? There's a lot of paperwork that seems to be involved from what i'm seeing

Yes Im an LLC now and it wasnt to bad did every single thing online. If you do sole make sure your general liability covers you when it comes to legal matters

[@anthonycourtney6713]

Do you charge for drive time along with labor?

[@Brannonbuilt1260]

All respect for you doing your own thing. But yet again we have another guy watering down the industry and cutting prices. You should be charging more for the convenience than a brick and mortar location. Also are you charging for drive time to pick up parts? What happens when you have to re seal someone’s driveway because you did an oil change in a windy day and oil went everywhere? You still have to carry insurance pay more taxes then you did being a w2 employee. So just to make more money then you could working for someone else you’re gonna have to charge at least $120 an hour or I don’t see the reason to go out on your own and have all the headaches of running your own business.
