A Greasy Path to Success

By Marty Nemko

Every car needs oil changes, and nearly every car owner finds them inconvenient. At best, you sit around at a while-you-wait oil changer. Otherwise, it's drop the car, somehow get to work, and somehow get back to the shop. Now instead, imagine that when you pulled into the parking lot at work, in a shopping center, or at an airport, you could request an oil change that would be done while your car was parked. Isn't that more convenient? What a business: big demand, small investment, little skill required, no real competition. Just find a large parking lot owner who'd like a new profit center. Shouldn't be too tough.
