It Make Sense For Quick Lubes For Having Mobile Oil Change Services
In the oil change sector, Quick
Lubes businesses consider that they are running a superior business model,
while those in the mobile oil changing sector consider their business format to
be the best. However, the reality is that, under the right situations, both the
methodologies work fine. For instance, WalMart is not expected to buy a fleet
of mobile oil change vehicles when it comes to providing services to their
customers at nearby places. However, the thing to consider is that WalMart has
its own auto center that works fine in changing people’s oil requirement, and
provide their services to line of cars. Undoubtedly, their strategy of
providing low- cost high-volume services is doing quite well, and now it has
made a name of itself worth considering, and price points of them are quite
competitive.
Still, it would do well for quick
lubes of owning a minimum of a single oil service vehicle. This would help them
to provide oil change in vehicles of local fleets like tow truck companies,
local plumbing companies, delivery companies, or government agencies. It is a
fact that there must be a large customer base when people going to quick lube
to service their personal cars, and people changing their lubrication fluids
must have a job elsewhere or else a wife or husband working at some other
company.
It all boils down to the fact that
they have a social network existing that is tapped by the Quick Lube and making
use of the referrals. One only needs to place a mobile change service at the
quick lube truck or van parking
place and have a sign that asks for the mobile fleet services on the job site
itself. This will likely bring in new fleet businesses. The cost of doing this
is not that much, and it is quite easy to do this way, while promising a good
return on investment.
In the event of a quick lube not
interested to invest in a unit of mobile change service, they can take a 20%
cut by contracting out with a local area mobile oil change company, while
billing them, and giving the remaining amount to their subcontractor. So long
adequate insurance exists with the mobile operator, along with garage keeper’s
liability, and a general liability of $1 million, the deal has no meaning, and having
very little risk downside. Of course, it would do well to consider all these
points and take your decision.
