Over the past 8-10 years, mobile mechanics have increased in popularity. Since the advent of the pandemic, this trend has seen a steady increase in relevancy and is forecast to remain relevant long after the pandemic is over. So, why should you tap into this market? We at TVP are here to shed light. 

Even before the pandemic, the sphere of mobile mechanics has been expanding because businesses are rapidly responding to a culture of convenience; having to meet customer expectations. This culture was birthed due to our face-paced world. Customers do not want to take time out of their busy schedules to leave their car - most likely their only form of transportation - at a shop. We need to leverage this pain point, if we aim to be of value to our customers.

 

 2. Added value:

Many-a-customer has been stuck on the side of the road, unwilling to call a tow truck. Towing companies can not only charge high rates, but they can also take hours to pick up a car and take it to a mechanic. Why not cut out the middleman and take the mechanic to your customer.

 

3. Set yourself apart:

If you’re a small to mid-sized shop, competing with larger stores can be a challenge; they have more physical and financial resources and their marketing is more streamlined. You need to differentiate yourself. Offering mobile auto-repair services could be what sets makes your shop a cut above the rest. Leveraging this service could open up the doors to a whole new marketing strategy; expanding your customer base and increasing profits.

 

 

 

 As with everything in life, change is constant. Mobile auto-repair service is one trend that is bringing a change to the auto-repair industry. Be ahead of the pack, and look into adding this service to your shop’s repertoire.
