Roadside Assistance business..

**new wave** · 11-05-2011 04:16 PM

Been thinking about it. I'd use the truck I already got, buy some jumper cables, car jack, a few spare tires, and some basic tools and I'd be in business.

Startup costs would be fairly low, and I could easily train someone else to take over for me after a few months of business.

All calls would be routed to a virtual assistant, and then they'd call me (or the other drivers) with the customer details.

I wouldn't be a tow company. I'd focus on doing on basic stuff like jumps, tire changes, fuel re-fills. By not being a tow company, I can avoid the need for a special license, however, I could affiliate with a service like AAA who can provide tow services in the event that one of my customers needs to be towed.

Prices:
Jumps --> $50
change flats -- $40
gas refills -- cost + $30
towing assistance -- $25
