The Happy Mechanic: Making Money and Starting Your Own Business As a Self-Employed Car Mechanic

Make a good income as a self-employed mobile mechanic. If you already know how to fix a car, you're way ahead of most people. All you need now is the business knowledge and expertise to turn your skill and talent into money. This book has that information, all in a simple, direct, easy-to-follow format. This book is a complete, step-by-step guide to making extra money for yourself as a self-employed, mobile mechanic. I take you through it step-by-step. I even include a list of car parts vendors I use for my own car repair business, and sample forms for a work order and a mechanic's lien. What's the best way to advertise? How to show customers that you're a professional? How to decode a car's VIN number? Do you need to set up a corporation? Should you accept credit cards? How can you get customers coming back? I answer all these questions, and much more, in this informative book. Work when you want, how you want. Do what you enjoy doing anyway, working on cars, and make $100 here, $500 there... does that sound like the kind of money that you could use? My name is Steve Sorensen. I was a high-level business strategy consultant who left the corporate world to start and run a chain of car repair shops. I know business, I know car repair, and I want you to succeed. I have counseled many of my friends, and even my employees, on starting their own self-employed mechanic businesses, and now I'm sharing that knowledge with you. Everything in this book is original information I wrote myself just for this book. There's no ghost writer. I don't outsource anything. I wrote it myself. This information is not published or available anywhere else. There is no copy-and-paste here, and no meaningless diagrams or screenshots. Everything is pure instructoins on how to go from being someone who can fix a car to someone who is making real money, every day, from fixing cars.
