Mobile Auto Mechanic

Years ago I lived at Hilton Head, SC, a major resort. There was a guy down there that had a mobile mechanic business for auto repair for German vehicles only. There were many Mercedes BMWs and VWs on that island at all time, far away from home, so this guy id'd a need and filled it! Fast forward years later he ended up with a Mercedes Benz franchise on the island. I think one of the greatest opportunities to day is in auto repair. Yes you have to go to school for it. I had a Mexican friend once that could fix any car. He helped me restore one of my Porsches. Then I bought a Lincoln Navigator. Lots of electrical problems. Needed coils changed. No one could do it, not even the Ford place. My friend fixed the problem on each coil in less than 20 minutes. At my home! Never start a sentence with the word 'at'! lol! I am seeing numerous ads for so called mobile mechanics on Craigslist, but they have no certification or insurance for the most part. Yet this is one of the biggest opportunities out there, the mobile auto technician. I am looking into organizing this idea to a greater degree, to create a framework for these techs to operate in. Remember in all we do we want to make someone's life or day better, or happier!
