Wolfpack Mobile lube & Services | Application Preview
Wolfpack Mobile Lube & Services is seeking a government grant to expand and strengthen its mobile automotive repair and tire installation business. The company currently operates as a fully mobile service, providing on-site mechanical work for individuals, farmers, contractors, and commercial fleets. The business aims to use the grant for essential expenses, equipment upgrades, and transitioning into a hybrid model that includes both mobile and in-shop services.
The grant would be allocated to cover current operational costs such as truck fuel and maintenance, tool replacements, inventory, insurance, and waste disposal. It would also support the purchase of advanced diagnostic tools, tire equipment, and safety gear to boost service speed and quality.
Funds would help establish a permanent shop location, making it possible to offer more complex repairs, increase inventory storage, and reduce operational overhead. The shop would serve as a central hub, improving coordination and allowing the business to grow its customer base and service range more effectively.
The five-year growth plan includes hiring additional mechanics, tire techs, and support staff, expanding the mobile fleet, developing a second location in a nearby county, and increasing service capacity. The dual in-shop and mobile model allows for broader coverage and better customer convenience.
Wolfpack emphasizes its value to the local economy by supporting a wide range of customers—from residential vehicle owners to farmers and commercial fleets. The business provides timely, affordable, and reliable vehicle service that saves customers time and money, reducing vehicle downtime and eliminating the need for towing or long waits in repair shops.
Competitively, the company distinguishes itself from traditional brick-and-mortar auto centers and other mobile mechanics by offering a full scope of services at the customer’s location or, soon, in-shop. This hybrid model is a key differentiator, allowing it to meet the diverse needs of its growing customer base more effectively than any one-dimensional operation.
Grant approval would help accelerate growth, create local jobs, strengthen regional service accessibility, and establish a long-term, community-first automotive service provider.

Funding Usage
If awarded this business grant, I would use the funds to strengthen and expand my mobile auto mechanic and tire installation business. My goal is to improve service reliability, expand into a permanent shop location, and provide more comprehensive repair and tire services to the community. 1.

Equipment Upgrades & Expansion To meet growing customer demand and improve efficiency, grant funds would help purchase and upgrade: • Advanced diagnostic tools • Larger-capacity air compressors • Tire changers, balancers, and specialty equipment • Additional mechanic tools and safety gear These upgrades would reduce service time, expand repair capabilities, and allow me to handle a wider range of vehicles and jobs. 3.

Business Plan
Five-Year Business Growth Plan Over the next five years, our business plans to significantly expand our operational capacity, customer reach, and service capabilities. Having already built a strong foundation over the past three years, we are now focused on strategic growth that will allow us to better serve our community and meet increasing demand for mobile automotive repair and tire services. 1. Transition Into a Full-Service Shop Within the next 1–2 years, our primary goal is to establish a permanent shop location. This will allow us to: • Perform more advanced mechanical repairs • Increase tire inventory and storage capacity • Improve turnaround times for services • Reduce travel-related operating costs • Offer both drop-off and mobile service options The shop will serve as the central hub for operations, inventory, and employee coordination. 2. Hiring and Workforce Expansion Over the next five years, we plan to hire multiple employees to support both shop-based and mobile operations. This includes: • Additional mechanics • Tire technicians • Mobile service laborers • Administrative or dispatch personnel Expanding our staff will improve efficiency, allow us to serve more customers at once, and provide job opportunities within the community. 3. Strengthening Mobile Service Capabilities Even as we expand into a shop, mobile services will remain a core part of our identity. Our plan includes: • Adding more mobile service trucks • Equipping crews with advanced diagnostic and tire equipment • Increasing coverage for after-hours and emergency services • Serving more farms, contractors, fleets, and residential customers This will help us maintain fast response times and expand our service radius. 4.

Self Identified Competition
1. MCO Tire & Service Center — Located at 880 N Main St., Cedar City, UT. They offer a full range of tire sales & service as well as general auto repair and maintenance.  2. Les Schwab Tire Center – Cedar City — Located at 1403 S Providence Center Dr., Cedar City, UT. They focus on tire sales and associated services (installations, alignments, etc.).  3. Randy Wood Mobile Auto Repair — A mobile auto repair business in Cedar City that services vehicles on-site, offering convenience and mobile service as their specialty. While MCO Tire & Service Center, Les Schwab, and Randy Wood Mobile Auto Repair all offer great services and specialize in certain areas, my business stands out because of the unique combination of full mobile service and an upcoming stationary shop location. This allows me to provide a broader, more flexible range of services than any single competitor. 1. Full-Service Mobile Operation Unlike traditional repair shops, I bring complete automotive services directly to the customer. I offer: • Oil changes • Tire repair and replacement • Full mechanical repairs • Diagnostics • Preventive maintenance • Roadside assistance • Fleet, farm, and contractor support This eliminates the need for customers to tow vehicles, wait in a shop, or rearrange their schedules. 2. Soon Offering Both Mobile and In-Shop Services What truly sets my business apart is that I will soon operate from both a physical shop and mobile service trucks. This gives customers two options: • Mobile convenience when they need on-site repairs or can’t bring a vehicle in • In-shop service for larger repairs, complex jobs, or customers who prefer a drop-off option This hybrid model allows me to compete directly with shops AND mobile mechanics at the same time. 3. More Services Than Most Mobile Mechanics Many mobile mechanics provide limited services, but I offer the full range—everything from basic maintenance to advanced repairs—fully mobile. This means customers don’t need to visit multiple places for: • Tires • Repairs • Maintenance • Diagnostics • Installations I can handle it all, wherever they are. 4. Convenience for Every Type of Customer My business is designed to support: • Farmers • Contractors • Commercial fleets • Residential vehicle owners • Off-road and equipment users Whether they need a quick oil change in a driveway or major repairs on job-site machinery, I provide fast, affordable, and accessible service. 5. Faster Turnaround and Reduced Downtime By offering both mobile and in-shop services: • Contractors keep their equipment working • Farmers avoid long delays • Families save time • Fleets stay on the road • Larger repairs can be completed in-shop without long waits This dual approach creates unmatched flexibility and productivity for my customers.
