We reviewed articles in journals lubricating oil, Newsletters, ASO, ASE, car mechanics, and many other periodicals on the assessments and profitability of mobile oil change. We believe that many of the respondents had misrepresented the actual results, but you brought some of the insights that have written in these comparison surveys and reports. Although polls and magazines have very credible, I think the study groupOperators need only a few were accurate and also one of the magazines in figures admitted that the poll was plus or minus 5% at best.
We believe that 15% are in fact quite angry about the fact that no one really seems to actual results of these efforts by individual operators to know. In a newspaper poll in the field, they found that only ten percent of the mobile oil change to be independent franchise operator and 90%. The same publication said that the average radiusThe service was 51 miles and had at least 21 fixed operators in their market, an increase from previous studies. The average ticket price was said to be $ 39.00 and the average cost of goods sold was $ 8.40. Average company has 1.6 vans. Vans are the most popular units of roughly 52% of the time, 10% of the time bobtail trucks and pickups used on 5% of the time. He stopped an average of 4.4 vehicles said to be served. 70% of its mandates, in particular fleets. We did not findbe the case in our current studies ride along with competitors and team members; http://www.OilChangeGuys.com
The average company cars, or 12.2 units expected to be calling them every day. Lube average price was only $ 28.22 only $ 4.00 more than Jiffy Lube. Insurance costs, we agree with an average of $ 1,946.00 up from previous years that we have found is. Average cost for a semi truck lube only $ 85.61, which is a bit 'low and almost seems to shippers andCompanies with many units, such as cement companies. The number of single type of advertising was word of mouth and signs of the vehicle. Yellow Pages was the third. 56% of companies surveyed in a publication on the ground made heavy equipment. Some 32% or marine vessels. More than 60% even though few had generators on a regular basis. 40% said that they made 100K last year, 33% said they pant 50K, 27% at 50K.
We are quite sure what these figures are vague, and in particular toquestionable, since according to our research, may have been true. 66.5% of respondents said they had school buses and oil change, or waiting for their fleets. Average wage of $ 11.44 for workers, more than Jiffy Lube and all Wal-Mart Stores fair. The cost of creating a truck drives an average of $ 8,941.00, we believe that this is right considering the under-equipped units that we had ever seen. The operators said that their break-even point average was 6.3 units. We challenged this and I thinksome 'higher, if necessary at all costs, and the average number of days worked, and also sees the need to consider the real wear and tear and depreciation, that is. A consultant for the team being told that if you count all the costs that these numbers are obviously too low for the break-even number of units and those days really work and how many days are in average climate and which are? Some areas may not be due to certain time periodsyear.
The real cost of goods sold, many of the investigations, many fixed operators of the sites we have spoken. This is an estimate of a person told us that we have not verified, so they do not support in any way, or it can also be wrong: the oil is above $ 4.10 a gallon, the average number of gallons? 4.3 Qts. Of course, not SUVs, but cars like Honda and Ford Taurus. Filter Media $ 2.05 each $ 3.50 about two-stage filter. A work of fat, about $ 0.95 per pound really hardsay that the amount to be used. ATF fluid? Yes about $ 3.06 - $ 12.00 per gallon average 1 / 2 qt more. Fluid said to be $ 2.00 per qt. Power Steering Fluid $ 2.00 $ 4.00 qt.
These prices are all arbitrary and constantly changing. Most of the problems is that mobile independent not buy them in large quantities, some of the respondents use plastic bottles, if the customer indicated a specific type of oil? Alas, even if you buy at Wal-Mart, what's worth your time? Anywaybelieve that these polls are important, but there are not enough mobile oil change or to participate in surveys, to really understand the true costs.
