Welcome To Our Community.
Welcome to the group! I am so glad you joined. Before you start jumping into comments or asking questions, please take a quick minute to introduce yourself in a new post, I’d love to know who you are and what you’re working on. When I looked around, I was honestly surprised that there wasn’t already a dedicated space like this for the mobile oil change industry. It’s such a practical, high-demand service, and I really wanted to create a place where we can help each other navigate the ins and outs of getting started and growing successfully. A little bit about me: I’ve spent years in the service industry and currently manage a fleet of 15 vehicles doing recurring maintenance work. I’ve learned a lot of lessons the hard way, and my goal is to pass some of that knowledge on to you. There is nothing I enjoy more than helping fellow small business owners get their feet off the ground and scale up. We are still in the process of building out the community and adding more resources and guides, so thank you for your patience as we grow. A quick heads-up on the future of the group: We will be transitioning to a paid community model soon. However, because you joined us early, you are officially “grandfathered in.” As long as you stay active and engaged, you will keep your free status permanently. It’s our way of saying thanks for being a founding member of this community. So, let’s get the ball rolling, drop a post below and tell us a bit about yourself. Most importantly, tell us: what is the main reason you want to start your own business? Looking forward to hearing your story!
Mobile Service Sync vs fieldd: Both Drive To The Customer. Only One Starts At $49.
Ninth in the series comparing Mobile Service Sync to the software you've probably looked at. Today: fieldd. fieldd is booking and dispatch software for mobile, home and shop-based service businesses. It drives to the customer like we do, so this one comes down to what happens after the booking. Here's what a mobile auto crew runs into. - Plans start at $199 a month for Start. Scale is $299 and Pro is $999. - Route optimization is unlocked from its Toolkit, and some Toolkit tools carry a one-time unlock fee. - QuickBooks runs through Zapier: a one-way sync that needs its own Zapier account. - The free trial is 7 days. Mobile Service Sync is built for the whole mobile auto business, not just the booking: - Fleet accounts on every plan. Each fleet carries its own pricing, its PO rule and net 15 or net 30 terms, applied every time it books - On Growth and Pro the fleet manager gets a portal: every vehicle, what's coming due, and service requests that land straight with your dispatcher - Oil, filters and parts are counted per van, come off the van's count when the job is completed, and the tech app shows what's on board with a restock request - A tech app on iPhone and Android that keeps working with no signal: job status, inspections with photos, mark complete, cash and check, and the time clock all sync when you're back in range - When a job closes, the vehicle gets its own next-due date, and the reminder goes out with a link to book the next one - QuickBooks Online sync is built in on every plan: invoices, customers, payments and items, with no third party - Core is $49 a month. Growth is $175 with two users and unlimited jobs. Month to month, no onboarding fee, and 14 days free without a card The full side by side: https://www.mobileservicesync.com/compare/fieldd?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=vs-fieldd Anybody here running fleet accounts yet? How do your fleet managers ask you for service today: a text, an email, or a phone call at 6 AM?

Mobile Service Sync vs LubeSoft: Built For The Bay Timer. We're Built For The Route.
Seventh in the series comparing Mobile Service Sync to the software you've probably looked at. Today: LubeSoft Express from ISI Software. ISI has sold to quick lube shops since 1987, and LubeSoft is quick lube point of sale: bay timers, windshield labels, podiums and card terminals at the counter. When its pages say mobile, they mean a shop owner checking reports from a phone. Here's what a van runs into. - None of ISI's product pages mentions a van or a route. They're written around bays, stores and locations. - There's no LubeSoft app in the App Store or Google Play. It runs in a browser. - The intake it names is QR code check-in at the shop. Your customer books from their own driveway. - Its FAQ describes access from anywhere with an internet connection. A van isn't always anywhere with one. - The reminder is a windshield sticker, which works when the car comes back to your bay. - Prices aren't published. You get a quote after a demo, on a 12-month agreement that renews itself unless you give 90 days' notice, and the agreement expects your payments through ISI within 60 days. Mobile Service Sync was built in a van, for the road: - One click puts each tech's stops in order on real drive times, and every van's day sits on one map - A tech app on iPhone and Android, live in both stores, with today's stops, one-tap navigation, the on-my-way text, photo inspections and the payment before you pull away - It keeps working with no signal: job status, inspections with photos, mark complete, cash and check, and the time clock all sync when you're back in range - Customers book online on your own page or your website, type their plate, and only see times your techs and vans can actually reach - When a job closes, the vehicle gets its own next-due date, and the reminder goes out by email or text with a link to book the next one - Every price is published: Core is $49 a month, Growth is $175, Pro is $299. Month to month, no notice period, and 14 days free without a card

Mobile Service Sync vs LubeSoft: Built For The Bay Timer. We're Built For The Route.
Mobile Service Sync vs PM Attendant: Built For The Counter. We're Built For The Curb.
Eighth in the series comparing Mobile Service Sync to the software you've probably looked at. Today: PM Attendant, which now belongs to ISI Software, the same company behind LubeSoft. PM Attendant is point of sale for quick lube shops, from family-owned shops to multi-location operators. It runs in a browser at the counter. Here's what a van runs into. - Nothing on PM Attendant's pages mentions vans, routes or service away from the shop. - There's no PM Attendant app in the App Store or Google Play. - Its pages describe a counter system and mention no way for customers to book themselves. Your customers book from their phone. - Reminders and coupons print at the location. A mobile customer never stands at your counter. - Prices aren't published. ISI quotes by shop size, locations, users and integrations after a demo, and there's no free trial. Mobile Service Sync was built in a van, for the curb: - One click puts each tech's stops in order on real drive times, and every van's day sits on one map - A tech app on iPhone and Android, live in both stores, that keeps working with no signal - Customers book online on your own page or right on your website, type their plate, and only see times your techs and vans can actually reach - The on-my-way text is one tap from the tech app, and two-way texting is on every plan - When a job closes, the vehicle gets its own next-due date, and the reminder goes out with a link to book the next one - Every price is published: Core is $49 a month, Growth is $175 with two users, Pro is $299 with five. Month to month, and 14 days free without a card The full side by side: https://www.mobileservicesync.com/compare/pm-attendant?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=vs-pm-attendant If you came from a quick lube counter before going mobile, what was the first thing that broke when you took the business on the road?
