Many mechanics, whether they work for a company or not, do work on the side usually at home. If this is you, and you’re always looking for more business to make ends meet or put a little more money in your pocket, then this tip is for you.
Instead of just putting a car on your business card like most mechanics would, make your business card useful by adding information that people will want to have. This will make them keep your business card, and hopefully remind them of you when their car breaks down.
Here are some ideas for useful information for the back of your mechanic business card:
1. Maintenance Schedules – This could be the time between oil changes, coolant flushes, tire rotation, timing belt replacements, etc.
2. Suggested Winterization – If you like to winterize cars before the snow hits, this could be a great idea, especially if you’re in the northern part of the country where the snow falls fast and heavy.
3. Tips for improving gas mileage – If a few simple tips like keeping the oil clean and air filters replaced will add to the MPG of your client, let them know by putting that information on your business card.
4. Tips to improve vehicle life – If a majority of cars break down because of poor care, make sure your customers know that they can keep their car on the road by following your simple steps.
Whichever of these ideas you take, make sure that one of them includes a service that you provide. After all, wouldn’t it be a waste if you didn’t get any additional business as a result?
