Now that snow has started to come i have put ads around my neighborhood saying i change tyres for an amount around 30$. I got my first call today and it felt good, he also said i could change the tyres of his wifes car and he might call me tomorrow.
Pretty easy money I must say.
Do you have any thoughts about it?
Nathan White
Having a website and social media profiles won't hurt. Congrats on your success.
Print up more fliers and hit the pavement. There's a local guy that does something similar. He has fliers up for credit card repair. It's an affiliate program according to my research. He bills $199 and sells the leads for $89 to a credit repair company. I've seen around 30 of his signs in my city. Whenever I go out to the neighboring cities, he's promotional signs are there en mass too.

What the fuck is a tyre?
James Watson
What happens if you get too popular? Like 100 requests in one day?
Josiah Wood
hire some burnout to do it for $12 an hour
Jack Jackson
There's a thing called scheduling appointments. Then there's also a thing called hiring employees. Have you been unaware of these things?
Xavier Russell
Idk either maybe something to do with the engine?
Samuel Parker
I was just asking what OP had planned
Jordan Martin
What happens when someone's tire falls off and they sue you?
Eli Myers
Thank you very much.
Jack Collins
Good question. I stopped doing residential IT repair for this reason. Peoples shit would break 4 months later suddenly and it was my fault. It wasn't even worth my mental effort debating it. Commercial IT repair is a little better.
Brandon Price
Im pretty sure it wont, im doing att good job.
Benjamin Cruz
Well i dont think it will come up to that level but of it does i will schedule the appointments.
As the first answer said in this thread madeleine me feel positive to this. I have had my ads up for two days and only 1 man has called and maybe his wife. Tomorrow i will print more ads and market it bigger.
Thanks for positive help.

>I stopped repairing computers because people complained 4 months later
Not cut out for business I see
Levi Allen
I'm not cut out for dealing with people in their homes, especially those who don't understand technology.
I focus my time and energy in an industry that lets me make money without having to deal with them personally, while still letting me be the boss.
It's better in the regard you don't get rich repairing computers.
Andrew Hughes
A good businessman would have turned this into an upsell... hell i've even witnessed collegues tamper with the customers motherboards so that the computers purposefully have a limited time period before they break again so the can ensure re-current business.
Ayden Phillips
Cool ethics bro. I'll remember to sabotage their hardware so they have to call me again so i can repair it, again.
It's not easy doing an upsell when the customer is irate at you because they believe you "didn't fix it right".
Some businessman you are. Any more advice?
Ryan Walker
Your boss is whoever hands you money.
My guess is you fixed grandma's computer for a cool $20 and she bitched at you because she got another trojan 4 months later and the stress drove you to return to your NEET lifestyle. You read something online about how commercial/government contracts are more lucrative and now you're parroting it as if you actually secure any on an anonymous image board.
John Parker
When you post fantasy stories like that, about fixing grandmas computer for $20, everyone knows you're projecting. Who read anything about commercial/govt contracts? Not me lmao. I know you did though. What I dont get is what triggered you to lash out at me like that. Don't reply, I know these boards attract very angry people.
Jackson Flores

LOL. Jig's up, kiddo.
Try /r9k/, I hear they have a guide for getting on that disability.
Grayson Cook
You're imagining I’m doing something I’m not and then mock that imaginary thing with sarcasm as if it has anything to do with me.
Eli Lee
>imagining something you literally said
Wew, all that delusion. What's next, IDs don't exist on this board?
Camden Russell
>My guess is you fixed grandma's computer for a cool $20 Are we in bizzaro world right now? That was your delusion.
Ethan Parker
>Oh shit, there's no way out of this one, better focus on something that was obviously a guess! >Who read anything about commercial/govt contracts? Not me lmao. I know you did though. >Who read anything about commercial/govt contracts? Not me lmao. I know you did though. >Who read anything about commercial/govt contracts? Not me lmao. I know you did though.
Hilarious. Good luck on /r9k/, kiddo.

Congrats on the success OP. Keep us updated.

Are there seriously people who can't change their own tires tyres teirs tiyers тaйpз tie-ers?
James Walker
Make sure u mark the valve stem so u dont unbalance the fuck out of shit.
Watch for pressure sensors in most cars these days. Faggot fords are on the other side.
Bump with a torque wrench so u dont kill someone.
Make sure wheel is on lip. Especially in a faggot dodge.
Good luck not killing your customers.
Or twisting shit off.
Older ford pickups in the 80s had left threaded rear driver side wheel.
Get a shitty manual balencer and tire machine. Start doing oil changes and flat repair. With a little hard work and luck u can start a business out of your garage. Get llc and insurance asap before u fuck up a car or worse.
Levi Collins
They get his moms garage and his 4 way and floor jack.
Daniel Edwards
At least he figured it out early.
Is why i dont have a dumptruck business anymore.
Mutherfucker will watch their roads go to shit for 5 years and then call and need (1 or 2) loads of rock right the fuck now. Get there and say it will tske 5 or more. ( no way.) Whatever faggot. *2 loads gets 2/5ths of the way. Fucking idiot faggots. Like i dont do this 50 times a day.
Hey user just fill a couple of potholes.
In a 10 wheeled dumptruck.
Automatic.
Fill in potholes.
Not shoveling 15 ton of rock faggot.
9/10 times "user what rock do you recommend here?" Tell them. "Well, lets use (any rock besides wtf i said.)" Cool. 6 months latter. user my road is shit.
Well faggot listen to my advise and u wouldnt be dicked. I try and tell people but if these cheap cunts dont wanna listen then i have no remorse taking thier money and watching their road go to shit.
Simply not worth the headache dealing with people unless its good money.
My money was barely better than what i make now with 10 times the stress.
I might /biz again. But not blue collar.
Ian Ward
Lol. This. Maybe advertise that u repair bit not in home. Make faggots bring u there shit so u can fix it. They are less likely to be a cock of they have to unhook it and bring it back because they cant stop watching porn and pirating viruses.
True /biz advice.
>yar a dummy for not scamming them
Nathan Powell
Roflmao. That guy projecting hard enough i wanna get popcorn.

I used to have a very similar business. Grow, expand, add to your services. Get referrals. Be on social media. Take cash when you can.
good luck.

Hire more people.
Samuel Baker
I had a similar business, as I posed before.
There were 2 solutions here. (A) offer a warranty, like computer solution only good for 60 days or (B) sign them up for a care program, like $100 buys you one year of solutions or something.
The biggest businesses on earth have the most complaints.
I live in Georgia. The biggest residential HVAC here is Reliable. They are fucking savage thief pirates with negative feedback everywhere. I would estimate their gross this year is somewhere between 20 million and 50 million dollars.
Ryan Bennett
Do you feel better?
Anthony Rogers
> repairing computers > for a living
If it's not enterprise. GTFO.
Dylan Sanchez
I change tires for 20 an hour. I hate my life
Alexander Taylor
What do you do now?
Alexander Morris
This guy knows his tires. Some Fords and Lincoln's have band sensors that are supposed to be installed opposite of the valve.
Samuel Harris
Inb4 angry Pepe complains about 1% boss >raise minimum wage hurr
Nathan Martinez
I doubt op is actually changing the actual tire from the rim for $30 unless its 30 a tire. I think he means switch to snow tires from another set. just unbolt and bolt on
