Is it possible for a mobile oil change business to do ten vehicles per day just starting out? Many people going into the Oil Change Business, as independent small businesses base their business plan and risk their capital on the assumption that they can do ten vehicles a day at a pure profit of $15.00 to $18.00 per service or vehicle.

Many people believe that they can indeed do 10 vehicles per day, yet they must also consider that, during this time they will need to be getting their efficient routine down, constantly searching for new business and worrying about making sure they have the proper inventory of air, oil and gas filters on board. Additionally they will be driving around a lot and at $3.00 per gallon there is more cost to consider. One new entrant to the market place stated:

Indeed, you might be able to although I find that most people just starting out have a tough time at 10 per day and usually end up doing a lot less average when starting out. Remember the intervals are 3-5 months for most folks so your customers will not be using your service very often. Although if you could continually sign up small fleets, like the local sheriff department, Air-Conditioning Companies, Companies or even City Hall you could be well on your way to get to your goal.

By mixing 20-30% residential with 70% to 80% fleets it could be done, with proper sales and marketing, if you stayed efficient on your routes and were able to cut costs by good buying of supplies at lower costs. You could make it work, but realize that 10-per day is not easy
