Start Your Own Mobile Mechanic Business
Are you thinking of starting your own mobile mechanic businesses then this blog is for you. This blog is about how to start your own mobile mechanic business. In this blogpost we will cover topics regarding the numbers, advantages and disadvantages.
interesting statistics
Some numbers: The percentage of traditional workshops vs. mobile mechanic owners in Queensland is 78 % to 22%. Roughly this is 4 to 1. As the stats have shown, the average mobile mechanic starts for themself after having worked for 12 years in the trade, including the 4 years of apprenticeship
Well-being when operating your own
mobile mechanic business
Now we know the numbers. Let’s go over some considerations before making the decision to start your own mobile mechanic business.
Let’s start off with the advantages to start your own mobile mechanic business. I think one of the main reasons, and this is a big one. Being your own boss. No more need to do what management or that annoying supervisor is telling you. There is no need to obey the behind-a-desk-programmed-need-to-be-done-in-a-certain-time frame-work structure of the management.
The costs of starting your
own mobile mechanic business
The second best reason is the low start-up costs; there is no need to buy or rent a physical workshop with rental contracts that are a minimum of 3 years or more. The investment in expensive tools like a hoist(s). In general, you can start off with more basic tools and expand as you grow, which is a valid reason. Not to forget lower overhead compared to a workshop. What is overhead? Overhead includes rent, salaries of employees, insurance, taxes, etc., costs that will return on a regular basis.
When you start your own mobile mechanic business, there’s no need to worry about employees who take out a big chunk of the overhead costs, let alone when you have to deal with sick leave, etc. Of course employees are the most important asset in a business, but a huge percentage goes to taxes, insurance, etc., you know yourself—no explanation needed.
The competition
Due to the fact that only 22% of the total auto repair industry are mobile mechanics, the competition is low, even more so in Queensland because the population density is very low, with 3.22 persons per square kilometre. So a certain percentage of the population lives outside cities or dense areas. Here is an example of mobile mechanic business named Aussie Mobile Mechanic who offer their services to the south east Queensland region.
This is a great opportunity to grab more potential customers due to the fact that there are fewer potential traditional workshops that grab away your clients. This also shows the importance of your branding and having your own website. As commonly known, we Australians drive a lot with our vehicles on our stretched roads, so the maintenance intervals are over a shorter period of time as well chances of breakdowns along the roadside increase considerably.
