GGM / BUSINESS PLAN

Build the most trusted mobile mechanic brand in DFW.

Starting with two mechanics, a trust-first promise, and a mobile-first operating model.

Trust is the product, not a tagline.

30%+repeat / referral revenue

THE THESIS

Make the visit feel like a relief.

Auto repair is high-friction and low-trust. GGM brings the mechanic to the customer, shows the issue, quotes clearly, fixes only what is needed, then turns every great job into a review and referral.

Understand the opening

“If we cannot clearly explain why a customer needs the repair, we have not earned the work.”

Operating principle

THE OPERATING CELL

Start narrow. Win dense. Expand.

THE PROBLEM / THE ANSWER

Turn anxiety into clarity.

THE PROBLEM

Stuck between inconvenience, confusing estimates, and fear of being overcharged.

Customers do not just need a repair. They need a reason to trust the recommendation.

THE GGM ANSWER

Bring the mechanic to the customer.

Show the issue. Quote clearly. Fix only what is needed. Turn the win into proof.

BRAND PROMISE

Honest.
Affordable.
Mobile.

HONEST

Show the problem. Separate what needs attention now from what can wait.

AFFORDABLE

Fair pricing without unnecessary upsells. Best value, not cheapest.

MOBILE

Home, office, apartment, fleet yard, or driveway. The shop comes to you.

TRUST MOVE

A good mobile mechanic tells the customer when a shop is the right answer.

REVENUE MODEL

Convenience, trust, recurring relationships.

$89–$119

Diagnostic / service call

Entry point for new customers; credit toward approved repairs when appropriate.

$110–$140

Repair labor / hour

High-fit mobile repairs that keep the operating cell fast and focused.

20–35%

Parts margin

Buy professionally, price fairly, and keep total job value below many shop alternatives.

Fleet

Recurring revenue

Preventive maintenance and priority service for small businesses where downtime costs money.

SERVICE MENU

Sell the repairs mobile mechanics can win.

Diagnostics / no-start
Brakes / rotors / calipers
Batteries / starters / alternators
Spark plugs / coils / sensors
Belts / hoses / cooling
Pre-purchase inspections
REFER / DEFER

Major engine rebuilds, transmissions, alignments, frame or collision work, lift-required jobs, and unsafe work areas.

Trust compounds when GGM knows its boundary.

SIGNATURE SYSTEM

Make the “yes” easier to see.

The customer should always know what happens next. Six visible steps turn a stressful repair into a transparent decision.

THE YES PATH
01

Book

Vehicle, symptoms, location, photos / video

02

Triage

Confirm mobile fit and quote visit fee

03

Diagnose

Inspect, document, explain in plain English

04

Approve

Digital estimate: parts, labor, total

05

Repair

Complete onsite, test, document

06

Review

Payment, follow-up, Google review

Signature system: NEEDS REPAIR NOWSHOULD REPAIR SOONMONITOR

The more transparent the inspection, the easier the yes becomes—and the more likely the customer becomes a promoter.

03 / FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Disciplined density turns a truck into a compounding asset.

The financial model scales the same operating cell from two mechanics in Year 1 to 25 in Year 5, with utilization, pricing, EBITDA, and cash flow visible at every step.
