        Hey guys
Just was wondering if there is money to be made just diagnosing cars and not fixing them and pass the work onto a younger mechanic... Lol. I have to say that ScannerDanner has fun troubleshooting on the location. I wanna be that guy having fun again.
Just a thought

        If you can sell yourself and have enough customers, yes. Paul does it. I can't remember how much he charges but if you have enough people, it could be done.

        Uug, I have to become a salesman again? I used to sell door to door accident insurance. It was rough but I did it... learned a lot from it too. I need to get all this down and swallowed plus get into the paid part of this site. BUT that truck of mine Holy Crap!!! What I learned from that truck is things/fixes seem good till the fuel trims say that it's not.

        It's an interesting thought! Diagnosing cars without doing the actual repairs can be a viable business if you have the right skills and equipment. ScannerDanner sure makes it look fun, right?

        Short answer is yes plenty to be made. I am in the UK and my business model is very similar to Pauls. I only work for garages, so the only repairs I do are almost always wiring/harness issues. Anything else the shop will do themselves. As firstly I don't want to do it, and secondly they wouldn't want to pay my hourly rate either.
