But you have to take into consideration that some people don't have the proper tool and knowledge to do the work. Here in SoCal there is at least 5 N* in the small partyard. Much more in the bigger yard. Pull the engine yourself and its cost less than $300. Only if someone willing to pull and stud and charge to install, it would be a great business and profit.

Talking Re: Head Gasket Repair At Your Location!

Why not convert an RV or bus to a mobile shop with a retractable enclosure off one side to provide vehicle stall. All tools, equipment and parts could be stored in the cargo bays. Power supplied by generator. Best of all…a place to lay ones head.
Might take longer to get to the destinations but expenses could be less.

Re: Head Gasket Repair At Your Location!

That idea is also franchisable and could be sold as business opportunities across the country. More like the McDonnalds or the Stanley Steamer carpet cleaner of the N* circuit. By the way…who is John Maddin? Does he drive a Caddy?

Re: Head Gasket Repair At Your Location!

John Madden, long-time NFL football coach and then (recently retired) anchor of Monday Night Football along with Al Michaels, is NOT a flier, so he traveled the U.S., to every Monday night game for years, in his own converted Greyhound rolling apartment. He's probably wealthy enough to drive a stable of Ferraris.

Re: Head Gasket Repair At Your Location!

Some good ideas there. Not sure I'm ready to sell everything and become a traveling gypsy (no offense to gypsys), just not the lifestyle for me. I wouldn't mind however, traveling new places and helping people every once in a while, maybe like once a month or so. I've been busy lately as many 2000 and newer cars are starting to have issues, so people are more willing to pay the money to repair these as some of the older ones are getting trashed. I have decided to try and make a living doing this, so I can use all the help I can get!
