Most first-time owners budget for the truck and the tools - then run out of cash on the one line nobody plans for. Get an itemized startup number in 2 minutes, built for mobile diesel & heavy-equipment shops.
Guessing low is how good mechanics end up under-capitalized and stressed in year one. This estimator uses national ballpark ranges for every real line - the vehicle, the tools, the parts, licensing, insurance - plus the working capital most people forget. You will get an itemized estimate and a worksheet to pressure-test it against your own quotes.
Your vehicle, what you will mostly work on, how you will pay for it, and how many trucks you will start with. We will do the math.
Estimate only - real numbers vary by state, vehicle condition, and how much you buy used. It's a planning starting point, not a quote.
We'll email your itemized estimate plus a worksheet to pressure-test every line before you spend a dollar.
