The longer a plug is left in, the higher the risk of the tire developing a leak or blowout.

-In situations where a customer requests a jumpstart, but the issue is later identified to be with the starter or alternator, it's important to communicate the diagnosis and the additional service required. If the customer declines the full repair or refuses to pay for the additional service, you can discuss a partial payment for the services already rendered. It's important to set clear expectations upfront and have a transparent conversation with the customer regarding the charges and potential additional repairs.

Charge extra for new lug’s nut and for taking them off?

-The pricing for lug nuts and the labor involved in taking them off can vary depending on the specific situation and the policies of each mobile service provider.

It's important to communicate your pricing structure clearly to customers and inform them of any additional charges beforehand.

-As a mobile service provider, charging a call-out fee and mileage fee is a common practice. The call-out fee covers the cost of dispatching a service vehicle to the customer's location, and the mileage fee accounts for the distance traveled to reach the customer. These fees help cover the operational costs associated with providing on-site services. It's important to establish clear pricing policies and communicate them to customers upfront, ensuring transparency and avoiding any misunderstandings.

Does the tire machine and air compressor run on the generator?

-The tire machine and air compressor used by mobile service providers can run on different power sources, including generators.

The specific setup can vary depending on the provider's preferences and the requirements of the equipment being used.

Do those jump starter automatically recharge with the alternator of the vehicle once on?

When the vehicle's engine is running, the alternator generates electrical power, which is used to recharge the jump starter's internal battery. This feature ensures that the jump starter remains charged and ready for future use, eliminating the need for external charging methods. However, it's essential to check the specifications and instructions provided by the manufacturer of the specific jumps tarter you are using to confirm its recharging capabilities.

I was hoping you could help me with a couple of questions. If you show you to a tire change and there is two or three stripped lugs - customer was trying to do it themselves then called it in - do you charge extra? The call came in off towbook from urgently out of network. Also if I take an out of network call is there a way to negotiate with them since its digital dispatch?

-If you encounter a tire change job where there are two or three stripped lugs because the customer attempted to do it themselves, it is reasonable to charge extra for the additional time and effort required to address the situation. When a call comes in from Urgently, which is an out-of-network provider on Towbook, you can negotiate the pricing based on the specific circumstances and the extra work involved.

Can I be contracted with more than one club at a time? Should I disclose that when requesting to sign up to another?

-Yes, it is possible to be contracted with more than one motor club at a time. However, it is important to review the terms and conditions of each club to ensure there are no conflicts or exclusivity clauses that may prevent you from working with multiple clubs simultaneously. When signing up with another club, it is generally a good practice to disclose any existing contracts you have with other clubs to maintain transparency.

What happens if you show up on a tire change and they don't have a spare or you cannot change the tire for some reason do you still get paid?

-If you arrive for a tire change job and the customer doesn't have a spare tire or there are circumstances that prevent you from changing the tire, it is reasonable to still expect payment for your time and effort. You can discuss alternative solutions with the customer, such as towing the vehicle to a nearby service center, and negotiate the appropriate compensation for the assistance provided.
