For those who love cars and are also in need of starting their own businesses to fulfill their destiny, often they will consider low-cost businesses to start. But what kind of business should they consider, as there are so many choices?
Well let us look at two-options; a mobile car wash and a mobile oil change business. Recently a “car guy” type asked this question online. Here are some thoughts. I think for the low-level of upfront investment the mobile car washing and detailing can be a good business, if done correctly. Although if you look at Jiffy Lube in the 90’s their average ticket price was nearly $160 per car and the average car was in and out in under 30 minutes. Kind of hard to beat that, but there is a lot of over head and thus the comparison may not necessarily be relevant to a mobile car wash and/or auto detailing business.

Like most people my age, I relished predicting who would do what, when his time at the plate was coming up. Statistics make sports more fun to watch and even to play. But they can be misused, especially in the arena of selling. Salespeople Repeat This: Price Isn't Value; Price Isn't Value; Price Isn't Value! We live in very competitive times, I'm sure you'll agree. Not only are we now participants in a global economy, but the Internet enables customers to shop our prices down to the penny, making us ever more accountable for keeping costs in line, and for tightening profit margins. |
Also consider the rock bottom mobile car wash business model entrant; a Hispanic Mobile Auto Detailer with $1500 total investment in a trailer, water tank and pressure washer, generator and some towels? You see where I am coming from? These businesses are all cash, with little or no upfront costs and extremely low overhead. Perhaps you have considered such a business in your future. If so, remember what I have said here and consider all this in 2006.
