I’m looking to move to Moraira in the near future.I would like to see if my expertise could be of service to the people of Moraira and receive feedback on an idea I have had. I’m a fully qualified vehicle technician at a Peugeot main dealer in England.

Mobile vehicle health checks at your doorstep. 

Planning a long trip? 

Is your vehicle getting old ? 

Or do you just want to know the health status of your vehicle, a vehicle health check will check the smooth running of your vehicle.

The check will consist of an under bonnet check including fluid levels and topping up if needed.

Outside vehicle check including damage and light checks, tyre tread, brake pad and discs wear.

Under vehicle check including all important components related to steering, wheels, drive shafts, including under engine inspection.

This is not a business yet and is not a promotion, I just want to see if it is a feasible opportunity.

Any feedback negative or positive would be great. 

Thanks

Ollie

Do you mean that you only diagnostic the car or you would fix the car too?

Just sounds like the checks most car owners would do as part of general car ownership. Modern cars these days tell when fluids need topping up.

The other stuff you mention will already be covered off as part of the cars annual ITV  test so that service already exists.

Going to be honest, doesn't really sound like a goer or an attractive proposition from a customer perspective.

Car mechanic may be an option but you would have high start up costs including finding a premises and getting your kit.

No, it would just be vehicle checks of the main components that show wear and tear.

Based on that Ollie.  Definitely wouldn't be a goer. I would just take it a garage, they would tell me something is wrong and then fix it.

When you don't feel well you go the doctor they tell you your not well and then treat you accordingly

I wouldn't go and see a person who would look at me and say you don't look well I think you need to go and see a doctor. 

Do you see what I mean.

Okay you definitely make some good points! Maybe I’ll get in touch with some local garages.

Thanks for your feedback much appreciated!

Yeah I see your point, that’s a good way of putting it.
