Onsite on demand oil change anywhere anytime?

Does it include greasing the chassis and checking brakes?

 

The price is going to be a problem. Average oil change price at a Wingfoot or speedco etc. is around
$330 depending on what kind of engine.

 

Travel time really doesn't come into play because these places are next door to truck stops. If there is no waiting, takes bout an hour, maybe an hour and a half. They also do things like check air in your tires, and
do a general inspection to see if anything is wrong. Sometimes, if they are really busy wait time will increase. I stay away from the busy ones.

 

The oil and lube places next to truck stops are cheaper and more convenient. Doubt you'll do well investing in a company that does it as a mobile service. You have to charge more than those places to make it financially worth while, and that's a problem to most owner operators and small companies. There are many mobile mechanics, but most don't offer preventative maintenance for a reason. They can't compete with the large companies that do it.

Edit: I also doubt if the large chain truck stops will allow a lube company to come out and service trucks in their parking lots. Leaking or spilled oil destroys asphalt and they would put a stop to that immediately.

 

If you did it as part of a mobile service, change tires, truck trailer repair you might get more work, oil disposal might be a problem.,

 

Not to mention alot of truck stops dont allow outside repairs
