I built out a 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer for this exact use.. I didn't have enough shop space and figured I could help out friends, family etc and make it mobile... I dont do it as a business, I do it so i know the job gets done correct and no damage on my wheels etc... after multiple bad local tire shop experiences, damage to brand new wheels etc.. .And a time saver, its a hour drive time to get to and from the closes (sucky ) tire shop.. in that amount of time i can mount and balance my own tires and spend less time and no gas traveling.. . Doing this as a business is a cool idea, back in the late 90's I ran a mobile computer repair service.. customers loved not having to disassemble their computers and haul there computers in, I'd just come to them. And yes you can fit a entire tire shop in a V nosed 12x6 trailer, including a large tool chest, Tire mounting machine and balancer, generator, 20+ gallon air compressor, jacks and all the various air hoses etc. One other pro tip if your looking to setup a shop , PEX water line is a great low cost option for custom shop air line setups, did that in the "tire shop trailer" as well. .
FTG are absolutely fantastic. I’ve used them on my boat trailer and car. If you want to do business with a company that makes you feel like your part of their family this is it. Both owners of the company have a tremendous amount of experience between them and mounting, weight placement, etc is done right. I’ve purchased trailer tires in the past and they weren’t balanced and they balanced them and it made a difference. It’s been great to see their business grow leaps and bounds and it’s because of the people behind FTG that makes them a great company.
Alignments are not unnecessary. I’ve seen cars at 10-15k need alignments with toe and camber way out of spec. If you wan’t your tires to last longer and wear down evenly, have a proper alignment and rotate tires every 5k.
@@pongstatus7268 I rotate mine at 10k, never alignment nor extra balances and drives perfect and tires last the longest. You and many have absolutely no clue of engineering, and drink the industry Kool aid.
1 concen i have about quality of your tire balancing. How do you do quality tire balancing when your vehicle always parks on slightly uneven angle or severely uneven angle ?
@@Junaid-khattak I started a mobile tire service in Massachusetts. It’s about $25,000 if you buy a used truck and don’t want to take out any sort of loans
Discount Tire's success (at least in my county) had a great business model of servicing ONLY tires, which is an American necessity. They did it very well with 1) fast service/car turnover + high volume, 2) employing car-enthusiast, athletic, & white suburban young men, 3) genuine professionalism + customer service, 4) low costs ie. portable car jacks & high capacity bays, 5) comfortable, modern waiting area w/ full view of workers, 6) no sales pitch/associate commission, 7) mostly middle-class suburban locations, and 8) small volume or free additional services. If Zohr can take all said mentioned elements, capitalize on the #1 inconvenience of tire repair: travel + tire haul + waiting, and beat the operating costs of a large on-site property, then it can be very profitable or take a large share of Discount Tire's customers. Not to mention, emergency tire road repair too

Love this, and avoid the unnecessary alignment...
