and what about liabilities? that is the biggest issue with car repair... whether it is an injury to the tech, or whether it is a problem down the road on the car...
on of our most common problems is "ever-since-itis"... a mobile tech will suffer some of the same issues... ever since you changed my tires, my brakes squeal... ever since you changed my oil, my fuel economy dropped... it would be interesting to see if they get the same issues or what. sometimes when people pay less for something, they complain less and expect less... not sure if with cars, that really ever happens, but maybe.
and i love the "only 10% of applicants are selected"... that's probably higher than any other shop! heh... yet they act like it's because they are so stringent.
everyone is looking for that quick buck... not saying their idea doesn't have legs, as i think the service center model could be updated... but to pay techs twice as much, still fill the days, cover all liabilities and overhead, charge less and still make a good profit?
i'm all for seeing an opportunity and jumping at it, but something like this, i really think they need a bit more knowledge of the auto industry before they can make this really profitable... we'll see. (oh and yeah, better in the states where snow isn't an issue)
