oscillating tool. not in oil changes but man those things are handy for all kinds of projects.

Who do y'all use for liability insurance?

Hey y'all my name is Josh, I am excited to be here! This is the kind of community I’ve been looking for. I just started a mobile oil/auto care business this year. Really just getting off the ground but I am doing it basically full time. Looking forward to growing with y’all.

Quick update. Behind the scenes we have been developing a CRM for this industry. Most CRM's in the automotive industry are focused on having a shop. The few that do cater to the mobile side are usually either half-baked or not much better than your calendar app and Google Maps. Initial focus is just mobile oil change, but will add mobile mechanic features as well. I am looking for a handful of beta testers. If you're interested, please DM your email and maybe a quick note. I'm only looking for 5-10 folks. If you're active in the beta testing process I'll be sure to take care of you when the app goes live with a generous discount.

I definitely noticed the slowdown in my lawn care business this spring. People are worried and/or have real financial issues that prevent them from spending money on things that aren't a necessity. But no matter how tight things get, people still need their vehicle to take them to work. Companies still need to have their fleet serviced. This is why a mobile oil change business can thrive even in a bad economy. Keeping a vehicle running well isn't a luxury, it's a must. And if someone is working an extra job or a company has added a second shift to keep vehicle count (capital expenditures) down, the benefits of having the oil change come to them is very valuable. The business owner doesn't have to pay an employee to sit at a quick lube bay. He just needs to give you access to the keys after hours. The average guy or gal can still get the service done for a comparable price while at work without having to take a long lunch or get off work early.
