Many years ago in my career, I founded and ran a series of automotive service franchising companies. I started with mobile car washing, truck washing, and mobile oil change services. Business was good, as we are a nation of cars. Today, we still are, cars, cars, cars, everywhere; Gasoline Cars, Electric Cars, and soon Flying Cars and Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles too. Not long ago, I was asked by an entrepreneur if I thought a mobile oil change franchising company was still a viable company to start in the present period. I put a little thought into this and considered all the future challenges and opportunities. Let’s talk, shall we?
Okay, so, is this a feasible business model today and into the near future (five to ten years)? Yes, I believe so, mobile auto-services tend to do well, and many are looking to start a small business with the new Trump Administration. Reciprocating engines are not going away, and even EVs need battery conditioning services, lubrication for wheels, etc. Hydrogen cars also have moving parts, air filters, heat shields, etc. Tires will still need the car, balancing, and rotating.
What sort of service vehicle is needed for the franchisees doing the work and servicing the vehicles? Should one use a truck, trailer, or van? Well, vans tend to do well with mobile oil-change, and the fleet business is the best of all, and sometimes it means a trailer is needed for extra storage tanks for new oil and used oil, and parts; belts, windshield wipers, oil filters, air cleaners, etc. Working in low-hanging parking structures can be a tough thing.
