just want to know what people think im thinking of start my own mobile tyre fitting and minor repairs got lots of experiance please any opion welcome

 

go for it mate do what makes you happy,wish i could get into something like that good luck mate watever u decide

 

if there is a market for it, its gotta be worth it. it's not convenient for everyone to use a space saver, and with most people doing a 9-5 job there isn't much time in the day to get it replaced.

what type of repairs? just punctures and the like?

 

yeah go for it you only live once and might regret it if you dont it and good luck if you do it

 

How much would buisness insurance cost for that. Although tyre fitting is quite simple as a job, surely there must be quite a rather large liability attatched on it if you was to fit something wrong which could lead to serious injury

 

well i was going to do normal tyre stuff and purtures but also little seviceing and and brakes im a ex for tech and now been in tyre trade(pay more)for 8 years just think market for in my area everyone seems busy and lot people buying tyres of net

 

Go for it mate,best custom is word of mouth,do a good job get work

 

If you have sat and worked EVERYTHING out, and it shows that there is profit to be made, its gotta be worth a go.

I imagine it would probably cost a fair amount to start up as you'd need a fair few tyres on the shelf ect? Unless of course you can get them from Kwik-Shit and make the profit from the fitting etc.

 

sounds good and rember you only live once. probaly be a good idear to have a big lockup some where to keep a wide range of tyres

 

go for it, there are not many mobile tyre fitters near me so there is still demand out there

 

Go for it - Used a mobile tyre fitter last week for the first time, saved me a fair bit of time and i sorted it over the net with no probs and a decent price too! i will deffo use a mobile fitter again.

 

Cost us 5 k in insurance when I first started
that was van full contense smmall unit for tyres
and liability
found it very hard down here
kwikfit had all the hire stuff and 3 other companys did out side fitting
after 12 at night was good money but I had 300 tyres in sttock
in the end just opened up the unit and ducked the van off

I used all 240v stuff of a genny and best thing just kept that all

Would I do it Again like fuck
hope this helps

 

thanks for your adivce im well payed at min in tyre trade i just think there is market for it lot people geting own tyres a seconr hand ones plus like to work for myself not very apperiated at min

 

ANY BUISNESS HOWEVER BIG OR SMALL WILL ALWAYS DO WELL IF YOU OFFER A GOOD SERVICE AT A GOOD PRICE AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET YOURSELF NOTICED/HEARD OFF THERE IS ALWAY GOING TO BE MORE THAN ONE PERSON DOING THE SAME THING AS EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE MONEY.I USED TO BE A MOBILE MECHANIC/TYRE FITTER FOR MYSELF AND IT WAS GREAT I PICKED MY OWN HOURS AND EARNED AS MUCH AS I WANTED TO DEPENDING ON WORK LOAD.THE KEY FOR ME WAS GETTING MYSELF KNOWN FOR WHAT I DID AND HOW WELL I DID IT I STARTED WITH THE CONCEPT OF IF I CAN EARN ENOUGH TO PAY MY BILLS AND KEEP THE BUISNESS GOING FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS SO I COULD GET SOME RETURN BUISNESS I WOULD THEN START TAKING A WAGE BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I WAS EARNING MORE THAN WHEN I WAS EMPLOYED.THERES ALWAYS AN OUTLAY WHEN STARTING IE VAN TOOLS EQUIPMENT ADVERTISING ETC.AND YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU GOING FOR A SET AMOUNT OF MONTHS I WORKED ON 6 MONTHS AND YOU JUST GO FOR IT REALLY.I NEVER KEPT ANY STOCK AS I JUST WENT TO A FEW TYRE DEALERS WHO CARRY A LARGE STOCK AND JUST OPENED CASH ACCOUNTS AND PAID AS I WENT AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH STOCK I COULD ALWAYS GET WHAT I WANTED SAME DAY OR WORST CASE IN THE MORNING,AS TYRE GARAGES HOLD QUITE ALOT OF STOCK BUT ALSO REICEVE AT LEAST X2 DELIVERYS A DAY.THERES GOOD AND BAD INEVERYTHING NOT JUST BUISNESS MATE AND NOT EVERYONE WILL DO WELL THATS LIFE JUST BE OPENED MINDED PREPARED TO GRAFT BE A BIT CAUTIOUS AND GO FOR IT OR LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID YOU WILL REGRET NOT TRYING (GOOD LUCK IF YOU DO IT THOUGH )

 

keeping stock is quite a big overhead, could you not just use a company like stapletons or bits and collect the tyres as and when needed (they are both wholesalers)

 

I'm thinking about starting my own tyre company... looked into getting equiptment can get the machine and balancer for around Ł1500 second hand on ebay, only thing im not really sure about is getting stock off supliers, like have you got to pay upfront or have a tab and pay monthly. just little things like that i need help with..

 

Sounds like a good idea mate but make sure that you research whether there is a market for this sort of thing in your area. I would try to plan my work in advance by working to appointments so that you can get the tyres as they are needed rather than having to hold large stocks.
Another thought has just occurred to me, could you go into partnership with your existing company where you work for yourself but agree to buy your tyres from them. That way they are getting a slice of the mobile tyre sales market as well as their regular work. You never know they may even help you with the setting up costs.

 

good earner if u can get a contract with a car dealers or pl;aces that run large fleets

 

Yeah, was going to say what a couple of others have said. If you can get in with a fleet company and become an authorised fitter you'd do ok.

 

to many ifs!--------------------more positives required.
as gadaffi would say-if only --if only!LOL

 

my mate made a good living out of it then opened a car show room and employs 2 people and has2 vans on the road out mobile tyre fitting but there out in the sticks up in scotland

 

somebody must be fitting used tyres, they seem to sell well on ebay, but you try and get them fitted, ive only found 1 place local that will fit them, in a recession i would have thought any money was better than none, just goes to show that they dont need the beer money, ie cash in hand
