So I've been thinking about this non-stop last few days!
I really don't know enough about PC repair to do that, I know it seems easy to some of you though. But I was wondering about mobile vehicle diagnostics? I don't think there's any certificates you need to do it. And I already do it for free/a drink for anyone local that I see struggling on FB/forums.
If I just offered a basic service of removing an EML and diagnosing the fault for half the price the dealers would charge, I reckon it'd work well? If it turns out to be something simple (coilpack causing misfire for example), I could even suggest I purchased and changed the part.
Prices something like £5 call out within Ipswich/Felixstowe area. £20 to extinguish EML and diagnose fault (write the code and text on business card for the customer). No charge if it can't be diagnosed/isn't compatible with my diag machine. £20 an hour to replace easy parts, having them sign a disclaimer first.
Would that work? Have I overlooked anything? Hardest part would be contact, but if people could text or leave a message I suppose that's a reasonable compromise.
