Hey, Ernest! Thanks for a video like this.
These are my thoughts on your subject; I don't mean to step on
any toes, or be a know-it-all, but I do have many years of experience
to pass on to anyone just starting out.
If you didn't want a discussion, or other thoughts & opinions-
you didn't state it or turn comments off.
1) Simple "word of mouth" is the cheapest, and most
powerful form of advertising. All it takes are satisfied Customers.
2) Produce short and concise videos of your work-
upload them to every Social Platform you can.
3) Present yourself as neat, clean and organized, be courteous.
4) Refrain from smoking, vaping or drinking alcohol in front of Customers,
in their vehicles, and in your videos.
5) Don't try to gouge people on prices; be upfront about the cost of entire job,
and get everything in writing- before work is performed.
6) Don't badmouth other mechanics or Shops. They might be related
or be long time Friends. Other Shops might even refer you!
7) Keep your word and be honest.
Awesome that you help people out whenever you see a car broke down. The world needs more Ernests.
Being honest, respectful, good price, good work is gonna keep you busy for the rest of your life.
Keep in mind that your reputation can be damaged by cheap parts.... buy quality! It takes a long time, but try to get used to what brands are best for a specific use... you also have a great point on appearance! The side of your truck does the most advertising for you (locally)
How do you handle old fluids? (reason I don't do fluid changes)
I’ve learned so much from you. Help me out with my career and get so much information I can understand!! Keep doing a great job
Wow! You have gone above and beyond with this video topic.
Great advice! Most of these have been working for me. Blessings to you in your business.
Thanks for all your videos. Just started my business in the fall.
How is it going are you getting enough customers i know it can be hard when you first start up
Thanks for the vid! Keep up the great work!
You are a big help and make look so easy.
Way to go Ernst great knowledge 👏
Ernest: Great video thanks for all your advice. Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
Bryan
word of mouth is absolutely the best way to advertise! thanks for taking the time to explain this. btw what are u going to school for?
Love the vids !
Good stuff!!!
Thanks so muchhh helpful info
Ernest's truck is also a moving billboard for his business, I wonder how much that helps.
It wasn't always painted. If you look at his older videos it was just blank on the side.
Subs are growin!
Your person the way you look itself screams legit.lol
Good video
I love your videos I run a mobile mechanic business in Santaquin Utah.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ERNEST👍 I LIKE AUTOZONE THE BEST PRICES AND WARRANTIES .KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING ✌
Great Video Ernest. I've been a Mobile Mechanic for over 10 years. I've been getting so much work, that I turned off one of my websites. As I am getting older and have the usual aches and pains, I have switched to only Brakes now. It's easy on the body, and I still have lots of work.Having a 5 star Google Review is a big help for getting new customers.
I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.
What do you use for advertising?
Great videos! Would be interested in options about insurance?
Good game plan but what do you do about parts ? Do charge 10 to 15 percent on parts you have get to make profit as well ?
How do you price a job on an exotic car ? If the labor takes the same amount of time as a honda accord, but you know the dealer charges triple? For instance brake pads or rotors that call for the same 1.5 hours. But the dealer would charge $900 for the service including the parts.
Bump that 60K!
Can you do a mobile business from a truck? What common tools do you need to start out with?
With your big truck you could invest in a MIG welder/generator?
Maybe learn some motorcycle stuff?
I’ve never been so early for a video before (1 minute)
I hate the mentality of "we're mobile so we're cheaper". I say we change this industry. We should charge more because we're mobile. These people today already think $50 to come to them and do a brake job is too much and that's because of that "we're mobile so we're cheaper" mentality.
Let's change this industry
I have since dropped this mentality. But I usually am a little cheaper still. Working that out idk how it will change yet. But i want to open a shop and have a mobile truck for call outs one day.
How much do you make a year working what you work ?
I’m thinking about going full time and doing this because I already have lots of repeat customers. But I don’t want to pay the huge overhead for a shop
Just trying to figure out if it’s feasible for me ? And how much are you spending on gas
i make a minimum of 200$ a day id say. on average a full day is 550-1300
Hey brother, for a no start call, ends up needing a jump off! What do you charge? I’m in SC so no where near you!
We Charge $35.00 Service Call on Jump Starts.
What are you studying in college? Sorry just wondering why you dont go full time in ur business seems like you can make a good living off of it. Thank you for the insight into ur business btw i plan on doing something like this in the future!
i tried contacting one mechanic from craigslist to fix my radiator but turns out he doesnt know that much and the radiator fan broke down after few weeks maybe because of that so it is sketchy to look for mechanic online unless they can show proof like youtube channels that can actually fix cars like you!
I think the next step might be to hire someone to work underneath you so you don't have to turn away so many calls. It's another can of worms to open up but it sounds like the word of mouth is really spreading your business, enough to warrant another employee so you're not losing customers due to your booked job schedule. Just a thought (:
When you get done with college will you go full time moble mechanic
I love you
We come to you and replace your battery cables for free.
You have probably mentioned elsewhere, but what are you studying at school?
just switched to general studies.
@@RoadsideRescue Do they have courses that are applicable to small businesses?
What your you going to school for ?
Ive semi-retired from the automotive repair biz....
Cool
Awesome
Where are you going to do these videos when you sell the bus?
back in the office i guess. gotta get my 6 month old out of there first.
@@RoadsideRescue when/where did you learn Spanish. I only know very little from high school, but I wish I knew more
What are you going to school for ?
What are you studying?
General
Motorcycles are easy, I'm guessing that's just outside your business liability/plan?
Possibly not a certified motorcycle mechanic. It's a shame because there are very few mobile motorcycle mechanics, used to be a time where all I had to drive was a moped and no one wanted to work on it.
I have a car now, but since the pandemic shuttered most motorcycle garages, it's stuck indoors and I can't get it fixed because I don't have the tools.
@@acerIOstream I grew up tearing down broken dirt bikes I could get for free (or some kind of deal), then there were motorcycles. So I'm always surprised there's actual schools for this. There are no formal requirements to set up shop in NY anyway... good backup plan for me I guess.
What are you going to school for?
