thanks i appreciate that. thanks for watching

Good stuff keep it up

How do you find business? I'll be able to legally operate tomorrow but not a customer in sight

@@AdkinsMobileMechanicsllc it is all word of mouth for me. I do quality work for a fair price.

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching. I do like to be able to network with local shops. I send people to them and they call me for help when needed

I have to agree with you. I believe the independent Mobile world is growing day by day. On my local Facebook groups, I see more and more people commenting getting themselves into business, which is my competition, but I’d like to see that it gives me hope for this field. Depending on where you live for instance in my area if you’re very good with welding and working on caterpillars and stuff like that, you could be going out into a breakdown in the middle of a farm making really good money working on big tractors. So don’t sell yourself short if you’re good with big diesels and caterpillars go out there start making a name for yourself. Facebook is your friend. Join a bunch of groups in your area and when people post that they need someone start commenting with pictures that’s how I grew my company.

@@3TsMOBILEAUTOMOTIVEREPAIR thanks for the reply. I'm out here in Kansas. Not very knowledgeable about equipment but there are a ton of farms and cattle operations with multiple semi trucks that pay dealership rates for all their repairs. That $200/hr might be worth it when you need someone to come out and machine your engine block, but I'm sure I can be very competitive when it comes to tires, brakes, electrical etc

@Ceedub3406 go for it start some where and you’ll change as times goes on. The business will evolve thanks for watching.

@Ceedub3406. You have Diesel Bus Experience. I read you somewhere in rural. For your info in N.Y.C. Transit hiring bus Mechanics there is shortage of that. they make more than Bus Operators now 40.00?+ hr or perhaps $ 80,000 yr minimum plenty overtime to gross $100,000 some makes 150+K yr. I retired 4 yrs ago driving $ 50,000 pension if you start now at 26 you can retire in 29yrs at 55 w/ pension by that time $ 100K a yr for doing nothing. otherwise, I suggest you nearest municipal where you at for city job info or the closest city to your state could be next state. even Penske Trucking. don't go business yourself too much risk / capital you need besides rural less people/customers. good luck

Damn thanks!!! I hope so too. Thanks for watching

first thanks for watching! tekmetric is for tracking revenue and customer info like repair history and so on. it is good for understanding your margins for your tickets to make sure your making a profit. yes being a commercial account gets you a discount but these parts houses make it difficult they will most of the time sell the parts to the diy for the same price. trucks it depends what your doing. i had a f150 before my chevy 2500 it was too small couldnt handle the trailer well. so soze the truck for what your pulling.

i have to agree. i feel i can just walk into it much easier then a box truck. thanks for watching

Hey thanks for subscribing!! I’m with you there we do NOT wave the diagnostic fees at all. I feel most customers just need to be educated a bit and it usually goes over much better and I gain that Customer for life. I just explain that the reason for the fee is for my 20 years of experience and training to diagnose the vehicle correctly and to do it in a timely manner without issue.

No on both just stick to basic everyday vehicles.

yes and no. overhead technically doesn't include labor and other certain things typically. In this video i mention it as what i need to clear in order to pay all my bills. including my payroll and what i send to the irs for my w2 tax and my business tax. i have to say I'm very high on my expenses. so that 11k which is now 9k includes every single dollar that needs to go out. i list out all the things i pay for just not the amounts. The software alone for all my programs is a lot. someone can run a mobile service without all this and still be very profitable. but i wanted to be like a full shop and be more professional stand out from my competition and it worked out so far. and yes my labor rate is fixed at $120. the job times always change i use book time through alldata. thanks for watching and asking questions. i like answering and talking to viewers.

@@3TsMOBILEAUTOMOTIVEREPAIR Thanks for engage with the viewers and open up on education. When a business is legit operated always yield profit, no questions on that. Be safe out there!

@jorgebolivar yes sir it does. That’s for the comments

I am this year last few years i was a sole proprietor because i wasn't dumb and thought i knew better. I still don't know much better but i have a good accountant now. thanks for checking out the video.
