How do you find mobile mechanics

Title says it all I'm currently a mobile tech for a company and a part time driver for another I want to branch out on my own I have everything I need except for customers. So what I was wondering is when you brake down away from home how do you find a mechanic and avoid a tow bill

 

I just go on Google maps and search around my location.

 

Get listed on google somehow, so when I type in diesel mechanic your name shows up for the area I am searching. Have your information such as what trucks you fix and what engines and that you are mobile. I pass over anything that isn't directly what I want because it's often a car dealer, or auto repair only, never what I need. A simple name something like "Mike's independent heavy truck and trailer mobile repair" is what I look for.

You can also talk to customers now and ask if they would hire you if you go out on your own. Don't do this until you are ready to do it because you may be in hot water with current employer which could result in being fired and your timetable shifting forwards faster than you want it to. I am thinking you may have customers that keep their trucks at home or a yard and you can do the routine maintenance and repairs there, to supplement the emergency breakdown side of your business. Good luck to you, should you decide to pull the trigger.

 

Thank you for your insights I am listed on Google maps and used the word mobile in my name I am calling it <advertising removed>

 

What’s your 20, hand?

If you are fair and honest, you will quickly get covered up. Tell me your location. I may know an owner operator or two. And when you get work, be sure to have them give you reviews.

 

Yea where are ya!? Do you like old school too?

I'm familiar with engines all the way back to the silver bullet and transmissions with more than one stick

Just drive around town in the weekend and leave your business card on windshields of parked trucks.
Reasonable rate and good work is all you need to get known quickly

 

Thank you I am well known in town but to keep the peace I'm trying not to poach and being that I'm not trying to get rich just make a more reasonable living I'm mostly looking at otr as customer base and I believe in quality an fair pricing I also want to offer owner operator discount
