Someone mentioned to me that mobil oil change company may be a good business.  The people would be able to get there oil changed at there houses instead of wasting time at the dealerships or lubes.  I never thought about this untill someone mentioned it to me.  What do you guys think about it?  

Without really thinking about it, i think it would be hard to make money at it.  You would have to charge more then the lube places and be able to get alot of cars done in a day.  You could target office complexes and places like that and knock out a bunch all in one place.  What do you think?

Quoted:
My neighbor does it.

He has fleet contracts and just shows up according to the contract schedule, changes the oil and moves on.

Then goes home and waits for the check.



That's the way most of those guys do it, around here anyway.

I don't see how you could make a living doing it for individuals.

You would have to kick arse and take names . . . being willing to pound the pavement a lot to look for work.  Seems like it would take forever and a day to become profitable.
