01 — "Overview"

Convenience sells. Fleet accounts can become steady clients.

02 — "The Crash Course"

  1. Step 01

    Learn and certify

    Get ASE entry-level certification or manufacturer training. Practice on friends' cars first.

  2. Step 02

    Equip a van or truck

    Low-profile floor jack, jack stands, oil drain caddy, impact wrench, torque wrench, filter wrenches. Tire service adds a portable changer and balancer.

  3. Step 03

    Check local rules

    Some cities and HOAs restrict on-site auto work. Use drop cloths and absorbent mats every time.

  4. Step 04

    Target fleets first

    Landscapers, plumbers and delivery businesses with 5–20 vehicles need recurring service during work hours.

  5. Step 05

    Price for convenience

    $70–$120 per synthetic oil change. People pay more to not wait at a shop.

  6. Step 06

    Recycle properly

    Auto parts stores and local recycling centers accept used oil and filters.

  7. Step 07

    Get garage keepers insurance

    Covers customers' vehicles while you work on them.

"The math"

40 oil changes/mo × $90 − ~$35 parts = ~$2,200/mo; one 15-truck fleet can be $1,000+ a month by itself.

03 — "How people lose"
