How this works

Start with the jobs you will take

You do not need every tool on day one. Pick the kind of work you plan to do and the planner marks the gear that work needs. Buy for the jobs you have, then add as the work pays for it.

Have it, need it, skip it

Mark each item. For anything you still need, type what it will cost you. The planner adds up your shopping list with your prices, not a guess from the internet.

Safety and cleanup gear is not optional

Jack stands, wheel chocks, a fire extinguisher and a way to catch and haul off fluids are what let you work in a driveway or parking lot without a mess or an injury. They are also what a customer or property manager notices first.

Common questions

What tools does a mobile mechanic need?

A solid hand tool set, a jack and stands, a scan tool and multimeter, lighting, fluid handling gear and safety gear cover most driveway jobs. The list here is grouped so you can tick off what you have.

How much does a mobile mechanic van setup cost?

It depends on what you already own and the work you take. Mark what you need, type your prices and the planner totals it for you.

Do I need a van or will a truck or car work?

Plenty of techs start out of a truck, SUV or car. What matters is that the tools are organized, locked up and you can find them fast.
