For businesses, the easiest to implement will be exactly passenger version offsite tire fitting. The remaining 2 can serve as an addition to the main list of services that your service will provide, but take into account the fact that truck and specialized vehicle tire fitting will require the purchase of additional equipment, the price of which, sometimes, may exceed the entire start-up capital of your business project in in general.

We will talk in more detail about pricing policy on the services specified above in the settlement part of our article. Private owners of vehicles will become clients of mobile tire fitting. As the business project develops, it is possible to expand the scope of activities and conclude contracts for mobile tire fitting with corporate clients. This approach will help your business stay afloat even in the off-season.

How to organize your field tire fitting?

As with any business, it all starts with. If you do not have experience in this area, you can use one of the ready-made solutions, of which there are a lot on the world wide web, or make a plan for organizing an on-site tire fitting on your own. If you decide to use the second option, we advise you to carefully study the rest of our article.

Stages of business project implementation:

1. Preparation and collection of a package of documentation + obtaining permits from the authorities.
2. Development of a marketing plan for a business project, which will provide rational ways promoting the service to the masses.
3. Technical and economic section, which includes a list of the necessary equipment for field tire fitting and brief characteristics for each instance from the list.
4. Financial plan for a business project for mobile tire fitting.
5. Justification of investments and profitability of the business as a whole.

1. Registration of an individual entrepreneur / LLC: procedure + optimal form of tax payment

The primary task of an entrepreneur in any endeavor is to deal with paperwork. Although we also have an on-site tire service, without a clear reference to the territory, the entrepreneur will still have to register with the administrative authorities. Here you can go in 2 ways - registering an IP or.

Registration of an LLC justifies itself only in cases of opening a stationary tire fitting point. If you plan to provide outreach services, the form of IP organization is more suitable for you.

List of required documentation
IP (individual entrepreneur)	receipt of payment of state duty (800 rubles)
	certified application by a notary in the form No. Р21001
	application for the transition to the simplified tax system (otherwise it will be OSNO by default)
	copy of all pages of the passport
LLC (limited liability company)	application form No. Р11001
	decision to open an LLC or protocol if there are several founders (partners)
	receipt of payment of state duty (4000 rubles)
	notarized copies of the founders' passports
	application for transfer to USN
Which OKVED to indicate:
45.20	"Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles"
45.20.1	"Maintenance and repair cars and light commercial vehicles
45.20.2	Maintenance and repair of other vehicles»

The USN taxation system is a priority for field tire fitting, but it is only valid for individual entrepreneurs / LLCs whose annual income does not exceed 51,000,000 rubles. The rate is 15%.

Business registration algorithm:

1. Visiting the tax office and registration.
2. Collection and submission of the required securities to the pension fund.
3. Submission of a petition to the administrative authorities for permission to operate in the agreed territory.
4. Contracts for waste disposal, disinfection, cleaning clothes, ventilation, and the like. All this is formalized in Rospotrebnadzor, there is also full list what you need to sign with the inspecting authorities to start a business.
5. Firemen's permit.
6. Preparation of internal papers.

The application will be considered within 5 days from the date of submission. The same period of time is allotted for the issuance of evidence of registration of IP / LLC in hand legal entity. If you have an on-site vehicle repair and tire fitting company, it will not be superfluous to pass certification, thanks to which you can avoid a lot of unnecessary checks in the future.

2. Marketing component of the business plan

Due to the popularity of offsite tire fitting, competition in the niche is constantly growing. In order not to trail behind and be always at the hearing of vehicle owners, it is necessary to thoroughly approach advertising campaign your services.

Methods for promotion of field tire fitting:

• flyers and business cards for vehicle owners;
• Personal site. You can either order a quality resource from specialists, or go the alternative way by making a one-page business card in free website builders. Another issue is promotion, without which it will be unrealistic to achieve high results in this field. Promotion of the project in the network is paid - from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles per month;
• visits / calls to the offices of companies that have car parks. It is these organizations that order on-site repair of their vehicles more than others. By signing a contract with a small discount, you will significantly increase your customer base;
• advertising in the media and free bulletin boards in your area.

And of course, do not forget about a completely free way to promote on-site repair of vehicles - on a work / home car.

Particular activity should be shown during the “hot season”, which falls on the autumn-winter period and lasts a little over a month. At this time, the queues for stationary tire fitting points are kilometer long, therefore, many order on-site repairs literally to their garage. In this time period, it is necessary to switch to the 24/7 mode of operation - the daily revenue of the entrepreneur will increase by 4-6 times.

To develop a permanent client base, it is recommended:

• offer free coffee while the vehicle is being repaired;
• organize a round-the-clock work schedule;
• periodically hold promotions and make discount offers to regular customers.

Use everything marketing ploys that just come to mind - this will help increase income and accelerate the return on investment in a business project.

3. Equipment for field tire fitting

Although this type of business is not considered expensive, you still have to spend more than 700,000 rubles to start it - if we are talking about high-quality equipment and starting from scratch. Since our tire service is mobile, for its operation you will need a truck with a compartment of 14-15 m2.

For this purpose, minibuses of foreign and domestic brands- Mersedes, Iveco or Gazelles. The latter option is the most economical and will cost the entrepreneur only 500,000-600,000 rubles, depending on the configuration.

List of equipment for field tire fitting:

• Tire changer. The unit must have the function of pneumatic explosion. The Russian assembly is not the best, therefore, shell out for Italians or Germans. Turning to Chinese machines is not a rational decision, even with all their cheapness. In 50% of cases, the description and reality do not match, which leads to accelerated wear and tear;
• pneumatic compressor with receiver;
• equipment for tire fitting of low-slung vehicles;
• electrical energy generator;
• rolling type hydraulic jacks in the amount of 2 pieces;
• pneumatic wrench;
• impact heads for ends - 2-3 sets;
• a specialized "gun" that will be used to inflate the wheels of the vehicle;
• lamp equipment that will help organize a working environment in the dark;
• shelves for arranging tools - if you have the skills, you can build it yourself;
• other consumables that may be required for onsite vehicle repairs.

Submitted list - standard set, which will cost the entrepreneur from 150,000 rubles. If you don’t want to look for all the components yourself, you can use the “box solution”, fortunately, there are a lot of companies on the network that offer high-quality assemblies of equipment for on-site tire fitting at an adequate price.

If you are planning to provide a wider range of services, you will need:

• device for vulcanizing car tires;
• specialized equipment for quick oil change of the vehicle;
• an installation with which it is possible to inflate car tires with nitrogen;
• station for refueling air conditioners inside the car;
• a device with a starting charge, which is necessary to start the battery;
• auxiliary hand tools.

Whole a set of additional equipment for on-site tire fitting will cost 100,000 rubles. If the total investment seems too large, the expansion of the range of services can be postponed until a later time, when the first profit is received and the project will return the money invested in it.

With regard to personnel, here it is worth starting from the work schedule of the field workshop - with 2 shifts, you will need to hire up to 6 people, which in 3/3 mode will repair road transport.

If you want to save money by working in 1 shift, you can hire 3 people and be the 4th yourself, but in this situation you need to have at least some skills in this field of activity. It does not hurt to get training from seasoned workers in this niche.

Financial plan for a business project for an on-site tire fitting + possible risks

The main sources of expenses are the equipment and vehicle for work. Previously, it was stipulated that in total, these 2 points of the business project will cost 650,000-750,000 rubles, depending on the type of vehicle and the amount of equipment that needs to be purchased. More detailed calculations are presented in the table below.

Business project expense item	Amount in rubles
1) Starting costs for opening a business project
Acquisition of a Gazelle minibus	600 000
Mandatory expenses that an entrepreneur will incur in the process of paperwork and registration of a business project	20 000
Purchase of a set of equipment for technical equipment field tire fitting	160 000
Selection and training of future workers of mobile tire service	12 000
Marketing expenses and expenses for the promotion of mobile tire fitting services on the Internet and through advertising in local media	16 000
Other types of expenses not included above	15 000
Total:	RUB 823,000
2) Staff salaries
Vehicle driver	16 000
Chief master of mobile tire fitting	22 000
Assembly worker (2 persons)	30 000
Total:	68 000 rub.
3) Other monthly business project expenses
Expenses for the purchase of fuel and lubricants for the minibus	15 000
Mandatory contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for each employee	20 400
scheduled maintenance and Maintenance works by Gazelle (weighted average)	7 000
Advertising and promotion of tire service	7 000
Possible contingencies for a business project	5 000
Total:	54 400 rub.

By doing simple calculations, we get the sum in 945 400 rubles at the start business project for mobile tire fitting. All calculated values ​​presented in the table take into account inflation in 2018 on the territory of our state.

When purchasing an additional set of equipment for field tire fitting, to total amount costs, another 100,000 rubles will be added, and if you plan to purchase transport for organizing work foreign production, the cost of opening will become even higher and will directly depend on your requests.

Calculation of the profitable part of the business project:

1. The potential number of vehicles that mobile tire service is able to serve in 1 shift is around 14 pieces. For a month, about 30 full-fledged shifts are obtained.
2. To calculate the monthly output, we multiply the values ​​specified above: 30 * 14 \u003d 420 vehicles.
3. Let's take the average price of a car repair in a small town - 600 rubles. We calculate the monthly revenue from the business project: 600 rubles * 420 = 252,000 dirty rubles per month.
4. To calculate the net profit, we subtract from the result obtained all the monthly costs of maintaining a mobile tire fitting: 252,000 - (68,000 + 54,400) \u003d 252,000 - 122,400 \u003d 129,600 rubles.

Our mobile tire service will bring about 130,000 rubles per month, taking into account all expenses, which means in order to recoup the funds invested in a business project, it will be enough to spend only 7.5-8 months This is an optimistic lineup.

In practice, even in big cities it is very problematic to receive more than 10 orders worth 500 rubles+ daily, because, in reality, the process of returning investments will take 12-14 months. It is possible to offset this drawback by launching an on-site tire fitting service that operates on a 24/7 schedule, but for this purpose, additional expenses and, accordingly, more monthly investments are required.

What risks can an entrepreneur face?

• low demand for field tire fitting. In particular, this can become noticeable at the very beginning of business development, when there is no established client base.

  A marketing campaign can solve this problem, but when promoting services in a big city, it will take time until your truck becomes recognizable among drivers and can bring in full profit. Don't let low order rates for the first 1-2 months scare you, over time, demand will begin to grow;

personnel qualification.

To be this problem or not depends only on the owner of the mobile tire service. By selecting highly qualified employees, you do not have to worry about the quality of the services provided, however, if your employees periodically pierce, causing dissatisfaction with car drivers, you need to take immediate action.

The risk of losing regular customers is very high, and this is not only a decrease in profits, but also negative rumors about the quality of tire fitting, which can greatly affect the reputation of the business project as a whole;

increase in the cost of services.

Consumables are purchased monthly, therefore, fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate will be felt instantly. Considering the constant increase in the cost of goods, in particular fuel, in financial plan a solution to this problem should be envisaged in advance;

unseen circumstances.

It can be either a sharp jump in the number of competitors among tire services, or constant breakdowns of vehicles. Second, it often haunts entrepreneurs who want to save on start-up expenses in business by purchasing used cars.

There are always risks, but a responsible attitude to business on the part of the owner can completely eliminate the manifestation of some of them. Therefore, competent management will not only make you a formidable opponent for competitors, but also help you keep your own money in your pocket.

Mobile tire fitting is an easy-to-organize project with one of the highest payback rates in a small business. Thanks to a small start-up capital, any interested person with an average income level can afford to engage in mobile tire fitting. As they say, there would be a desire, but there will be an opportunity.

In addition, these services are more in demand in autumn and spring. But you can use this situation by creating your own traveling business- mobile tire fitting. Today, more and more people want to use the convenient services of mobile tire fitting on wheels, as specialists quickly arrive at any time of the day.

1. Most clients are the weaker sex, because for them a flat tire and its replacement become an insoluble problem.
2. Drivers caught on the road to unusual situation, for example, when there is no spare wheel.
3. Motorists in areas where there are no stationary tire shops.
4. Corporate clients who have a large fleet of vehicles.
5. Reputable businessmen who save precious working time, preferring to call specialists for on-site tire fitting.
6. It is easier to start with the repair of cars, since the maintenance of trucks requires much more significant financial investments in order to equip a mobile tire shop.
7. You can perform wheel puncture repair, balancing, wheel replacement, seasonal tire change and storage, and other services.

Why mobile tire fitting is profitable

Each change of season becomes a real test for drivers, since changing the shoes of a car means losing valuable time in queues for stationary tire fitting. And if the company has several cars, then it becomes a huge problem.

If the client uses the services of a mobile tire fitting, a car with a specialist comes to the client, and all the necessary work is carried out at the place of its deployment.

The owner of this business does not need to purchase or lease land. No need to build, rent, equip premises for stationary tire fitting. You can quickly respond to a call and quickly provide a service.

Principles of organizing mobile tire fitting from scratch

To keep your service competitive it should be around the clock. Most of the applications of customers who have discovered a flat tire happen in the evening and early in the morning.

The simplest, which does not require large financial initial investments, is a service that consists in receiving a damaged wheel from the driver, repairing the tire at a stationary point and returning it to the driver to its original place.

However customers will be dissatisfied with the long service lead time.

Customers will love it if you can solve all their problems right on the spot. However, this requires that you always have a working kit with you, which is necessary for performing tire repairs.

Of course, if you have the necessary skills, such a one-on-one. But in order to organize and engage in round-the-clock tire fitting on wheels, you need a partner.

Financial expenses for starting a business

A mobile tire shop requires a decent financial investment. It must be equipped with all the required tools, tire changers, consumables. This will require an amount of approximately 2.5 million rubles. A new minibus can be purchased for up to $36,000.

A used minibus can be bought for $16,000. Such a machine must be equipped with machines, equipment, tools. In this case, the initial investment will be less than 1.5 million rubles.

Not so long ago, a promising niche emerged in this already quite filled and uninteresting market. This niche is called - on-call tire fitting or on-site tire fitting.

This project was brought to life by two problems that motorists face:

• absolutely wild queues that form near the tire shop during the season of “rebooting” cars,
• traffic jams that turn a trip from the center to an industrial zone or remote dormitory area(where tire fitting shops are used to being stationed) on a long, unpleasant journey.

As you can see, for some, a problem is just a problem that corrodes nerves and thins life's optimism, but for someone it's just a good reason to think and come up with a brilliant idea that will bring joy to those who came up with it and those for whom she is invented.

The main tidbit of all “tire mobiles” is, of course, a corporate client who has a fleet of several cars. So that the owners of huge fleets do not create queues, for the first time the service “we change tires at your home” was invented for them.

At first, as soon as this business, or rather this niche, just appeared, entrepreneurs set prices as much as two or even three times higher than tire repair in their workshop. But then they changed their minds, the market became civilized, and now the prices are almost equal.

Additional money is taken only for the “departure of the master” (for gasoline), and even then - if you order to change tires on more than three cars, the departure becomes free.

At the start from scratch, you need to invest 20 thousand euros in this business. This money will pay off in two years of work.

According to the features of the organization, mobile tire fitting is no different from stationary. The only additional equipment that you will need is a minibus (with a cargo compartment area of ​​at least 13 sq.m.), in which all the equipment necessary for the tire handling procedure will be installed:

• tire fitting,
• balancing
• and repair equipment.

Market players prefer Mercedes Sprinter and Iveco Daily minibuses.

One such new minibus can be bought at a price of 30,000 to 35,000 euros. A used bus can be bought for 8 thousand euros.

In addition, you will need an electric generator with a capacity of at least 5 kW. It can be bought at a price of 1 thousand euros.

Among other things, you still need a heated garage.

Mobile tire fitting: necessary equipment

What kind of equipment do you need in principle?

Let's talk a little about the equipment that is common for both stationary tire services and field ones. The main tire fitting equipment is:

• tire changer stand from 1 to 7 thousand euros, the best manufacturers, Italians: Sicam, M&B engineering,
• balancing stand from 2 to 5 thousand euros.
• compressor for the operation of the tire changer and wheel inflation, pressure from 7 bar. Well-established manufacturers: Dary (Italy), Remeza (Belarus), Miol (China). The compressor costs from 600 to 1 thousand euros.
• rolling jack (pneumatic or hydraulic), costing from 200 to 2 thousand euros.
• Other tools and consumables for the first time (1 thousand euros at the start)
• vulcanizer, with an average cost of 400 to 600 euros. (The vulcanizer is not needed for tire fitting, but in order to provide additional services in the range and earn extra money)

You can also buy Chinese equipment, players in this market admit, then, for example, each stand (balancing and tire changer) will cost you 1,000 euros per stand.

Ready-made ideas for your business

However, the same market players do not advise saving on a balancing stand, since many cheap models, in fact, have too high an error, which differs from the permissible error that is indicated on paper - in their own documentation.

Mobile tire fitting: necessary personnel

Please note that you will work seasonally. To do this, you will need two teams that will work in shifts. Exit tire fitting is a service that should work around the clock.

Based on this, you will need:
four tire fitters (working in pairs in two shifts)
and two drivers.
Market players advise, however, to save on a driver, whose functions can easily be taken over by one of the tire fitters, who works in tandem with another, in a shift team.

Opening of a standard tire shop.

It cannot be said that by opening your own tire shop, you will immediately become a millionaire and start making huge profits. But this business does not require huge investments either. This business plan covers all the essential points in starting this kind of business from scratch. It also contains a fairly detailed study of the tire services market, and there is a calculation of the most important financial indicators for making a decision.

There are so many tire shops in Russia that no one even dares to count them. Quite recently it was a licensed type of activity, then the appearance of all new objects was clearly monitored. Now, compulsory licensing has been abolished, all you need is . Accordingly, the number of opened tire shops has increased significantly, and it is almost impossible to monitor the dynamics of their appearance.
According to rough estimates, today there are more than 20 thousand facilities providing tire fitting services in the country. They can be very different, differing from each other in size and economic indicators.

It is the lack of accurate information that makes it impossible to conduct a truly comprehensive study of this market and obtain realistic figures that reflect the situation. The only indisputable fact is that work in such a business is not subject to accurate forecasting and is rather unstable. Leading experts are talking about the same. Therefore, it is impossible to call managing your own tire fitting a simple matter.

Location for tire fitting.

As with other types of businesses, a good location for a tire shop can make all the difference, if not all. Due to the rapid development of the industry, many ideal sites have already been developed. As a rule, these are areas located in the immediate vicinity of a highway or road with heavy traffic. The presence of a nearby garage cooperative or will also be a useful factor. After all, attracting first customers is very important, especially at the beginning of work. True, this was also known to those who thought about opening a tire service earlier. Therefore, finding a place for your future business is the first difficulty you will face.

A way out can be found if you correctly approach the study of demand. Perhaps some already existing tire service is not able to serve all interested customers. And then the appearance of your object in this area will come in handy. Of course, it is not worth opening your business right under the noses of competitors, it is better to stay at some distance.

The room in which your tire shop will work can also be different - from an iron bunker that resembles an ordinary garage to capital building. As a rule, preference is given to the second. Renting such premises on average costs at least ten US dollars per 1 sq. m. When choosing a room, you must already have a rough idea of ​​what equipment will be installed here. And for this you need to decide on the proposed list of services provided. The most common and the best option is to rent a room of 40-50 square meters. Thus, about 400-500 dollars a month you will lay out on rent.

At the very beginning of the opening of the tire shop.

In almost any modern tire shop, in addition to the wheel replacement service, a number of others are also offered. The most common is wheel balancing, camber and toe adjustment. The cost of simple machine for tire fitting can reach one and a half thousand dollars. And for the most ordinary balancing stand, you will need to pay another thousand. In addition to these large investments, you need to think about acquiring tools such as jacks ($200), a vulcanizer (another 200), a compressor (at least $500). About $400 more will have to be spent on other, smaller, essentials. In total, you will have to invest about $ 3,500 in the primary equipment of your tire shop.

There are proposals for the sale of ready-made, fully equipped workshops. The approximate cost of such objects is not less than 2500 euros.
The next question that you will inevitably have is recruitment. It would seem that a tire fitting worker should not have any special qualities. The main requirement is the ability to competently and responsibly perform their duties. After all, it is easy to lose a customer if he has to wait hours for his order to be completed. The easiest way to find employees is by posting vacancy announcements in special publications. As a rule, two really smart employees are enough to start a standard tire shop.

Tire fitting equipment.

1. Stand for balancing the wheels of cars - 45,000 rubles.
2. Stand for balancing the wheels of trucks - 117,000 rubles.
3. Tire changer - 43,000 rubles.
4. Installation for dismantling tires of trucks - 120,000 rubles.
5. Vulcanizer - 17,000 rubles.
6. Compressor - 18,000 rubles.
7. Jack for lifting cars - 5,000 rubles.
8. Machine for rolling discs - 96,000 rubles.
9. Bath used for checking wheels - 9,000 rubles.

In addition to equipment, to start the tire fitting work, you need to prepare a number of Supplies used in the process of providing services. The most necessary, without which work is almost impossible, will be:

Stuffed weights used to work with light alloy wheels
. glue weights, which differ from stuffed weights in that they are glued to the discs with a special adhesive tape
. universal patches for cameras - their presence will significantly speed up the work and help to avoid mistakes that often occur when using self-cut ones, as a rule, also from low-quality materials
. harnesses
. various chemicals that can be used to simplify the work of tire workers, which ultimately speeds up the execution of orders, as well as improves their quality
. necessary little things - caps and valves

Tire fitting staff.

Tire mounting equipment is not very complex, so training employees to use it should not be too difficult. It is very important to constantly monitor compliance high level customer service, for which employees must be polite, correct, executive, responsible and accurate. The latter concerns not only the direct performance of work, but also the clothes and habits of employees. As a rule, at the very beginning of the work of almost every tire fitting, there is some staff turnover. But as a result, a team of true professionals and like-minded people is created.

It has been observed that the younger your employees are, the easier it will be to teach them to keep cleanliness and to observe the rules of decency when talking with customers. People who are used to working "the old fashioned way" are less able to adapt to the requirements and rules. modern business. The advantage of hiring young guys will be that it is quite simple to do it. You can contact training centers, often open at equipment distributors or at large operating workshops, and they will advise you on the most promising graduates. Graduates of secondary specialized schools (vocational schools) for car mechanics can also become very good workers.

Wheel imbalance is a very dangerous phenomenon, and therefore wheel balancing has long been considered a very popular service. Without balancing the wheels, driving a car is much more difficult, premature tire wear occurs, steering mechanisms are damaged, and the suspension becomes loose. If extraneous noise appears during the trip, especially if body vibration and interference in the steering are felt, the driver will definitely think about the need for balancing. Timely wheel balancing reduces the risk of an accident and improves technical indicators car. And poorly balanced tires, on the contrary, serve less and create obstacles for comfortable driving. It is recommended to check the wheel balance every 5000 kilometers.

How is wheel balancing done?
To begin with, the car is lifted using a lift. The master removes and rinses the wheels, then he checks them on special equipment, which is specifically designed to get rid of dynamic imbalance. The most technically advanced units have the function of taking into account the factory tolerances of automakers in rotating elements (discs, spokes, etc.) when balancing wheels. And at the end of all procedures, the wheels are installed back on the car. At the same time, using a torque wrench, the degree of effort with which the fasteners are tightened is controlled. This is the commonly used scheme.

Modern equipment for holding technical diagnostics and tire fitting itself allows you to combine this important balancing process with a number of other technical operations.

For various damages of tires, such a type of repair as their vulcanization is used. There is cold and hot vulcanization. Cold vulcanization is carried out by bonding two materials (for example, rubber parts), without heat treatment. Hot vulcanization, on the other hand, involves the use of high temperatures when bonding materials. There is a special consumable, the so-called "raw rubber", which is produced just for hot vulcanization. This is a plastic, viscous mixture, during the vulcanization process it turns into real rubber, thus sealing the damage.

A separate type of service is the repair of tubeless tires. A tubeless tire has many advantages, but there is also a significant drawback - the repair of such tires is a rather complicated process, performed using unique technologies that must be strictly followed. First of all, when repairing tubeless tires, any assembly and dismantling work must be carried out very carefully. The fact is that tire depressurization can occur from even the slightest damage to the bead flanges. To repair such a tire, you can only use special equipment. Removal and installation of tubeless tires can only be carried out using a tire changer. Some of these machines are presented in the TI modification, which implies the presence of a built-in tubeless tire inflation device.

Another common service, and no less responsible than balancing, is the repair of side cuts on tires. After all, a lot depends on the quality of this repair and compliance with all technologies, and, first of all, the safety of driving a car. To carry out reliable repair of side cuts, a specialized vulcanizer is used, which has the function of bilateral heating of the tire. It is equally important for the masters to know and take into account all the features of such repairs.

Often, motorists turn to a tire shop to restore, repair or paint rims. Indeed, discs are often sold in stores in sets of 2 or 4 pieces, which may not be as financially profitable as repairing one damaged one. When repairing disks, it is better to exclude its heating, and it is imperative to use only technologies that do not violate the metal structure.

As a rule, such a service as tire inflation is free of charge in many workshops, especially for regular customers. Tire pressure monitoring is very important, and any motorist knows this.

Recently, in many car services and tire shops, such a novelty as tire inflation with nitrogen has become popular. Tires inflated with nitrogen pleasantly surprise both ordinary motorists and professional drivers. Nitrogen has several advantages over air. The use of this inert gas almost completely eliminates the risk of explosion. It also has a much lower leakage rate than air, so in the event of a puncture, the car has some power reserve. There are other advantages: maintaining a constant pressure, significantly slowing down aging and avoiding rim corrosion.
Additional income seasonal storage of tires can also bring. Indeed, in a city apartment or a standard garage, it is very problematic to organize it. But to provide such a service, the workshop must have a suitable storage room.

There are certain signs that characterize a serious tire shop. This is the performance of all measurements with high accuracy, good speed, providing quality assurance for the services provided. And for this, real professionals must work in the workshop, and, of course, using the most modern tools and machines for tire fitting.

At the beginning it was already mentioned that in order to give your business a legal status, it will be enough to open an IP. Today, this procedure will cost you about $800.
In order to get some idea of ​​the expected income from the operation of your tire shop, you need to carry out a number of calculations. In the hardware section, it was calculated that $3,500 would be needed to purchase it. It can be assumed that the new workshop will serve about twenty cars daily. On average, the cost of services for each car owner is about 150 rubles. It's about about the average day, because it is known that on some days such services are simply in great demand, completely uncharacteristic of a normal day.

Based on the assumed conditions, it is easy to calculate that the revenue of the tire fitting owner for one working day will be 3,000 rubles. Accordingly, the average monthly revenue will be about 90,000 rubles. Subtracting expenses from revenue, namely rent, wages employees(let's say $700), the cost of consumables used (usually at least $200), we get that remains a little over $1,500. This will be monthly net profit your enterprise. It is important to understand that for a novice entrepreneur, such an amount can be formed only in the most ideal conditions. And in our reality, unfortunately, ideal conditions are quite rare. And in order not to have inflated expectations, it is better to count on a profit of 800 to 1,000 dollars. Accordingly, investments in the opening of a new workshop will pay off within about six months.

For the tire business, such a concept as seasonality is very characteristic. There are peculiar peaks when revenue increases at times. These peaks occur at the time of the general change of wheels at the very beginning of the summer and before the winter season., Usually in April and November. Therefore, often, in order to reduce the influence of the seasonality factor and increase the total profit, tire shops open up new directions in the services provided. Often this is the direction of recovery. worn tires using the cold method.

This technology is used in great demand in Western countries, for example, in the USA, according to statistics, every seventh tire is restored with its use. In Russia, this technology appeared not so long ago, and it will become a very promising direction for it.

A retreaded tire costs almost half as much as a new tire.
Stages of tire cold retreading technology:
1. tires are molded
2. tire repair with preliminary inspection
3. Filling in all defects
4. tire vulcanization
5. restoration (cutting) of the tread tape
6. the adhesive base is being prepared
7. mounted/dismounted rims
8. Envelopes are installed
9. interlayers build up
10. The tread band is modified

List of necessary equipment for cold tire retreading.
After analyzing many offers from suppliers of equipment for cold tire retreading, we chose equipment made in China.
Equipment for tire retreading by cold method has the following equipment:
. Buffing machine
. glue extruder
. Tread Tape Machine
. Machine for mounting / dismantling envelopes
. YH550 rim mounting/demounting machine
. Autoclave
. Mixer
. Rail Tire Transporter
The cost of the proposed set of equipment is 1,825,000 rubles (including VAT).

Which tire service to choose to start a business?

Tire fitting and its main types.

In our time, the most complex technologies are becoming more accessible. As a result, the tire business has become quite popular not only among experienced professionals in this industry, but among those entrepreneurs who are just starting to learn the basics of car service.
Most often, tire shops are stationary. This approach to organizing such a business is traditional. These tire shops operate in a permanent location, while providing a range of services related to car wheels.
Mobile tire fittings, being a kind of mobile workshops, provide services directly on the road.

Tire fitting can be complex or partial.
Also, tire shops can be classified as follows:
. passenger car - services for car owners are provided here;
. cargo - trucks, vans, trailers, etc. are serviced in this;
. specialized - services in it are intended for exclusive, sports cars, and for other equipment, for example, motorcycles.

The business plan for the future tire fitting is the foundation for further successful business activities. It is a good one that will contribute to the gradual promotion and prosperity of any project.

If you approach the development of a tire fitting business plan thoughtfully and carefully, it can become very profitable business. This type of service has been in demand almost since the day the first car was invented. And nowadays there are more cars on the street every day, and every new car owner becomes a potential client of a tire shop.
The business plan outlines the general goals of the project and analyzes it with an assessment of the possibility of implementation, respectively, it is possible to attract good investors only with a well-prepared business plan.

Step by step business plan for mini tire fitting.

1.
Drafting a project summary. Here it is necessary to indicate the goal, to make short description future business, paying attention to its purpose and target audience. It is important to describe the main differences of this particular project from other similar ones, provide any reporting materials and confirm the qualifications of a potential leader.

aim this project is the creation of a mini-workshop for tire fitting using professional equipment to provide the highest quality tire repair services.

In the description of the project, it is important to disclose both the main provisions and smaller details of the business. This will become the basis, the foundation of the entire project.

The purpose of the project is to create a proposal for the owners of vehicles to repair their cars, to serve them quickly and efficiently in case of contact.

The target audience of the project is both middle-income car owners and wealthy people, women drivers, local residents with cars, and visitors or transiting the area.

Speaking about the uniqueness of the project, it is important to offer a service that the client cannot get anywhere else. Here it is necessary to emphasize its differences and advantages. These can be various kinds of promotions, special discounts provided for regular customers, providing additional services and much more.

Qualification of employees, which consists in their skills, experience in the industry, knowledge of modern technologies, guarantees fast and high-quality service for customers. It is also important to provide an individual approach and a responsible attitude to the work performed.

2.
At this step, a complete analysis of the idea is carried out, the main goals of the activity are determined, its directions are highlighted, and research is carried out on the industry as a whole.

When analyzing an idea, it is important to focus on the commercial component of the entire project, to note the advantages and possible disadvantages of the project.

The purpose of the activity and its direction - here you need to clearly describe what services will be provided in this tire fitting. What requirements of clients the workshop will be able to satisfy in full, what will be the level of service.

The characteristic of the industry reflects the state of such a business as a whole, in this section it is necessary to assess what impact this industry can have on the development of the automotive industry, what demand for the proposed service exists in society.

3.
Now you need to describe in detail the services, their distinctive qualities (for example, the presence of a license or patent rights). You can make a car service unique by introducing the service and. This will not only increase profits, but also help increase customer loyalty, greatly simplifying their lives.

4.
This is where market analysis comes in. At the same time, the consumer environment is taken into account, competitors, market segments are examined, the size and growth rate of the market are estimated. At the same time, it is important not to overestimate your expectations, to realistically assess the possible demand, to take into account all competitors, even the smallest and inefficient ones. After all, everyone has their own competitive advantages and it's important to know them too.

5.
It is necessary to make a calculation of material aspects, to evaluate possible cash investments. First, you need to choose a place for the workshop. It is best if it is a busy highway, or a large garage cooperative.

Next important aspect- equipment, it includes:

1. balancing stands,
2. jacks,
3. pavement signs,
4. tire changers,
5. nutrunners,
6. compressors,
7. disc straighteners,
8. vulcanizers,
9. signs,
10. tire repair consumables and more.

Following these five steps will create a truly complete tire fitting business plan.

Tire fitting costs.
. the cost of renting a room is $500/month. ($6,000 per year);
. repairs in the rented premises - $500;
. purchase of equipment - $4,000;
. consumable tire repair materials - $200/month;
. staff salary - $1,000/month. ($12,000 per year);
. manufacturing outdoor advertising - $500.
Also, the tire fitting business plan should take into account the depreciation of equipment, the cost of working uniforms for employees, and other points that inevitably arise in the process of active work.
Moreover, if the first project becomes successful, enjoys credibility and makes a profit, you can move on to creating a network of such services.

Not so long ago, a promising novelty appeared on the market - on-site tire fitting or on-call tire fitting.
The fact is that motorists for a long time constantly faced two recurring problems:
. huge queues near the tire shop during the days of the "high season" - when everyone starts changing tires at the same time before the start of the new season,
. placement of most tire shops in fairly remote areas (industrial zones and sleeping areas), where trips take a lot of time and are often associated with large traffic jams.
Some enterprising and positive thinking person I found a grain of opportunity for myself in this problem.

An ideal client for mobile tire fitting is a company with a fleet of several vehicles.
When the mobile direction in the tire business first appeared, the prices for services in it were sometimes 2-3 times higher than those of stationary competitors. But today this market has become more civilized, and prices are now almost at the same level.
An additional fee is charged only for the departure itself, and under certain conditions, even it can become free. For example, if a client changes tires on 3 or more cars at once.

To organize such a business from scratch, investments in the amount of about 20,000 euros are required. Return on investment in about 2 years
In principle, the organization of mobile tire fitting does not differ much from the organization of a stationary one. The only thing is that you will need to purchase an additional minibus. The car must have a cargo compartment with an area of ​​at least 13 sq.m., it is here that the equipment necessary for working with tires is installed, including:
. balancing
. tire fitting,
. other repair equipment.

Usually preference is given to minibuses Mercedes Sprinter or Iveco Daily.
A new minibus, when purchased from a dealer, can be purchased for 30,000 - 35,000 euros. A previously used bus can be bought even for 8,000 euros.
Another additional equipment will be an electric generator with a capacity of 5 kW. It costs about 1,000 euros.
During non-working hours, the minibus with the installed equipment must be in a heated garage.

Equipment for mobile tire fitting.

Some equipment of mobile tire shops is no different from what is installed in stationary tire shops. Required equipment in both cases:
tire changer, cost from 1,000 to 7,000 euros, Sicam and Bengineering (Italy) are recognized as the best manufacturers bar.

Recommended manufacturers: Dary (Italy), Miol (China), Remeza (Belarus), cost from 600 to 1,000 euros. Rolling jack (pneumatic or hydraulic), cost 200 - 2,000 euros.
1,000 euros at the beginning of work will be spent on the purchase of other necessary tools and consumables vulcanizer, cost 400 - 600 euros, it is not used directly for tire fitting, but it will help to expand the range of services provided and get additional profit.

If you opt for Chinese equipment, some manufacturers of which have long been recognized as reliable, in which case each stand will cost only 1,000 euros.
It is worth noting that it is not recommended to save on a balancing stand, because many cheap models can have too high an error, greatly exceeding the maximum allowable specified in their passports.

Mobile tire fitting: necessary staff
It is necessary to take into account the seasonal nature of work in this area. During the period of peaks in demand for the tire service, it is simply necessary to have two teams working in parallel (in shifts). In general, it is believed that the service of field tire fitting should be provided around the clock.
Based on this, for effective work the field workshop will require two drivers and four tire fitters who will work in two teams in 2 shifts.

Tire fitting market professionals advise such a move, which allows you to save a little. You can assign the functions of the driver to one of the tire fitters.

Mobile tire fitting: Advertising
In the field of field tire fitting, several effective ways of outdoor advertising have already been developed:
. advertising on the sides of your own minibus,
. promotion of your own website on the Internet,
. distribution of various flyers and leaflets in places where there are a lot of motorists,
. independent search for corporate clients with large fleets and personal negotiation with them with the offer of profitable long-term contracts.

It is necessary to prepare especially carefully for the hottest time when winter begins. This usually happens within 30-40 days in October-November.
These days, thanks to the fast, high-quality round-the-clock work of your workshop, you can earn customers who could not get the service in their usual place due to too long queues.

At the same time, it is important to understand that it is not worth opening a business right at the beginning of the high season. This rule applies to all types seasonal businesses. It will be very difficult for newcomers to the industry to immediately navigate and simultaneously cope with a huge load. Therefore, it is better to start work some time before the start of the season in order to gain some experience and build all work processes. Then in the autumn it will definitely be possible to earn an excellent reputation and excellent money.

To open a mobile tire fitting, you can purchase a special franchise. Such mobile workshops provide their services in parking lots, right at the entrance of the house or in any other place. At the same time, there are no expenses for the monthly rent of the premises and there is no problem with finding it. All equipment is located right inside the car, it can be a minibus or a truck. Investments for launching a mobile tire service will be approximately $40,000. The average monthly revenue in such a business reaches $10,000. The estimated payback period for the project is about 1 year.

Service on wheels.
Everything is installed in a minibus or cargo van necessary equipment for tire fitting works: tire changer, electric generator, compressor, jack, full set consumables and tools. Having everything you need on board, mobile tire service is able to serve both private clients and corporate, and even large manufacturing enterprises. Round-the-clock operation will further increase the turnover.

Truck tire fitting is well suited for those who would like to engage in family business, at least the male half will definitely like it. True, such a business will require sufficient investment.

Changing wheels on a truck is a rather difficult task. Previously, drivers often changed the wheels themselves, using any available means for this. Truck tire shops were extremely rare at that time.

Trucking is a well-paid field of activity, as a result of which truck drivers rarely want to save on the maintenance of their vehicles. Therefore, truck tire shops will always have a lot of customers.

It is believed that to equip tire fitting it is better to prefer Italian equipment, which is not cheap, but is recognized as high-quality and reliable.

. tire changer for trucks - 9672 euros;
. pneumatic wringer - 463 euros;
. roller for working with tubeless tires - 418 euros;
. vulcanizer for tubeless tires - 1220 euros;
. air compressor (400 l/min) - 650 euros;

Total: €12,423

The cost of the equipment already includes delivery, installation supervision and training to work on it. Delivery takes about 3 months, this time can be spent on registration required documents. When choosing a room, it is better to prefer a box with a platform for trucks to accommodate truck tire fitting. On average, this costs 200 euros for each month of rent. The monthly payments will also have to include electricity bills and wages for workers if outsiders are hired.

Preliminary profit calculation shows the following. If the installation of one wheel costs 2 euros (we assume this because the installation of a truck wheel usually costs 2 times more than the installation of a car wheel), and the workshop works in two eight-hour shifts and processes 2 wheels per hour, the monthly revenue will be 1920 Euro. After deducting all monthly expenses, the net profit will be about 1,500 euros.

It is clear that in order to reach the planned level, some time is needed, about 3-4 months. But even with the most pessimistic forecast, the payback period for such a project is only 12-16 months, which is quite a bit.

The cost of a finished tire fitting?

Financial condition: Revenue per month: 350,000 rubles Net profit per month: 150,000 rubles Costs per month: 200,000 rubles They include: Rent - 80 000 rubles salary Fee - 100,000 rubles Purchase - 20,000 rubles Legal form of the enterprise: IP Total area of ​​the property for rent: 130 sq.m.

Rent of ready tire fitting.

For successful start and development of own business is necessary good idea. However, it is not necessary to invent special offer for future clients of your private business. According to many successful entrepreneurs, they just took the strategy of existing enterprises and added a little feature. We invite you to evaluate the possibility and prospect of opening your own mobile tire shop.

The success of such an idea is beyond doubt, regardless of the size of the settlement in which you will build and develop own business. In every city there are cars that need to be changed shoes, patch holes and mount slopes, balance wheels or straighten, and also replace rims. The development of mobile, as it is also called, on-site tire fitting is facilitated by both a sharp change in temperature and changes in driving, and the technical condition of urban roads.

What can you offer your clients

The range of services that your company will offer to motorists in your city is quite wide and depends on the equipment you have purchased. The "standard" list of services provided to your enterprises includes:

• Changing or straightening rims.
• Wheel replacement.
• Tire or tire repair.
• Rubber installation.
• Wheel balancing or pumping.
• Other services.

The principle of operation of mobile tire fitting

In fact, your services will not differ in any way from the offers of stationary service centers. However, there are some key features, for example, the form of work with clients and recruitment. After receiving a request from a client by phone or on your web portal, a team consisting of a driver and one or two car mechanics is sent to the place. After arriving, they discuss some points with the client and proceed to provide the services necessary for the car owner: they replace tires, balance or pump up the wheels, and also perform other repairs that are needed for restoration. technical condition car tires.

If the repair is rather complicated or lengthy, that is, it cannot be completed on the spot, then you can take the wheel with you and have it repaired at the technical base.

Benefits of a field tire service business

By opening your own mobile installation, you get a number of advantages that are not available to owners of stationary stations that provide wheel installation services:

• You get rid of the significant costs associated with the construction or search for a building suitable for a car service.
• You get rid of the bureaucratic procedures that are associated with the acquisition and lease of a land plot, and also do not waste your time putting the erected structure into operation.
• You save your customers from the need to transport the wheels to the installation point on their own or with your help, thereby saving the car enthusiast's time.
• You will not have to turn away customers due to lack of production space or because of the queue during the seasonal "aggravation" of the need for tire services.
• During the trip to the place of call or during a simple trip in your "working" car, you advertise your service station with the help of outdoor advertising placed on the car.

Your future clients

The best and most unique business idea will be useless if there are no customers in your city who will take advantage of your offer. With a mobile tire repair service, this is out of the question. Future clients of your private enterprise can be:

• Car owners from small settlements, for example, suburban villages or sleeping areas, in which there are no service centers. And also all those who do not want to wait in lines, waste time and, in general, go somewhere.
• Drivers involved in a traffic accident or damaged wheels on a suburban highway or urban highway.
• Organizations or enterprises that have their own fleet of vehicles. These include cargo and passenger carriers, taxi companies, large trading and manufacturing enterprises, and so on. Often, such to corporative clients it is not cost-effective to send your rolling stock to the service center at once.
• Other service centers with which you can conclude contracts for the performance of tire work.

What you need to get started

Although you are spared from significant capital investments at the start of your entrepreneurial activity, however, you will have to purchase some equipment. First of all, this is a van. Among service centers and private entrepreneurs who provide mobile tire fitting services, minibuses Mersedes Sprinter, Iveco Daily, Gazelle or another similar car model, whose cargo compartment volume is at least 13 sq.m., are in demand. Recently, vans of Chinese brands have become the most popular.

In addition to the van, to start providing services, you need to purchase:

• The machine for tire fitting with the function of pneumatic explosion. It is better not to save and buy Italian or German equipment. The apparent cheapness of Chinese machine tools turns into additional losses. First, real specifications do not always correspond to the passport. Secondly, the service life of such equipment is incommensurably less. Thirdly, their use does not guarantee the quality of the services provided, which will cause customer complaints and negative advertising among car owners. Fourth, when using cheap equipment, the payback period of the project increases, and the profit decreases.
• Pneumocompressor with receiver.
• "Third hand" for the repair work of low profile tires.
• Balancing machine.
• Electric generator.
• AC voltage stabilizer.
• Pneumatic wrench and socket set.
• Several types of hydraulic jacks (minimum 2 pcs).
• Consumables for tire repair and vulcanization of skates.
• Sources of internal and external lighting for the provision of services at night (lamps, portable spotlights, and so on).
• Wheel inflation gun.
• Racks and shelves for storing tools and consumables.

To expand the list of services provided, you can additionally purchase and provide the following services:

• Equipment for the provision of oil change services.
• Equipment for refueling automobile air conditioners.
• Installation for pumping wheels with nitrogen.
• Additional hand tool(rollers, awls, scrapers, extractor, expand the range of impact heads, and so on) for small-term car repairs.
• Starter charger 12/24 and 220 V. For "lighting up" car batteries.

Payback period of the project and its profit

Of course, we cannot say exactly how soon you will return your investment, as the time depends on many factors that need to be taken into account when developing a business plan. The payback period is influenced by the number of vehicles and service centers in your locality, the state of roads, the level of well-being of citizens, your work schedule, prices and list of services provided, and so on.

Based on the experience of mobile workshops, it can be noted that when two-shift schedule In order to reach self-sufficiency, you need to service 7-9 cars per shift or receive about 4,000 rubles of revenue in the same shift.

Advertising your business

In order to notify potential customers and ensure the development of your private enterprise, it is necessary to conduct advertising company. Quite worthy results show the following types of informing car owners:

• Placement of advertising information on the sides of your personal or "work" car.
• Creation and promotion of your own website.
• Distribution of business cards or flyers in places where motorists gather, through auto shops, and so on.
• Making personal visits to enterprises or companies that have their own fleet of vehicles.
• Implementation own ideas to advertise the services you provide.
