Would people pay that price for services? Would people forgo the low prices at Wal-Mart of $12.99 for the added convenience of you doing such a service at their homes or offices? Recently this question came up with a gentleman who wished to start an a mobile oil change business in a town which did not have a Super Wal-Mart (only Super Wal-Marts) change oil, regular ones do not have those auto services.

The gentleman was getting ready to launch a small mobile oil change business and he stated: “I think people would be willing to pay $25.00 for a simple oil change if you came to them. Then include wipers, air filters (big considering the price of fuel) and top off fluids.”

Indeed there are lots of other things people need, but also realize that this adds up front inventory costs, trying to stock all the possible oil filters, air filters (both engine and cabin), fluid types, etc..

When starting a small mobile oil change business from scratch it is important to watch costs and only carry inventory for what you will need. Additionally it makes sense to try to keep it as simple as possible with only a few add-on services, which you can provide quickly, without adding you too much cost. There are all considerations to be thinking on if you are considering starting a mobile oil change business in your area. Think on this in 2006.
