How to start a mobile mechanic business with little money or equipment?

Anyone have any advice on how to get started in a new business of mobile mechanic for cars/trucks and semis?

I am also an independent dealer for AMSOIL and trying to get people to purchase oil from me. I have been rejected for every loan I’ve ever tried to get so I have the minimum amount of equipment and advertising available to me because of that issue.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am struggling to get started I also am wanting purchase a service truck or a tow truck or both but can’t manage to get a small business loan here in Kentucky.
