Startup cost: $500 - $5k

The low-end estimate covers basic tools like a tire inflator, jump starter, basic tool kit, and a simple roadside assistance app subscription. It assumes using a personal vehicle and minimal advertising through free social media platforms. The high-end estimate includes a more comprehensive tool set, a professional-grade jump starter, towing equipment, a dedicated roadside assistance vehicle, professional branding, a website, and paid advertising. Hidden costs might include vehicle maintenance, insurance, and fuel. Online communities often mention that while starting costs can be low, expenses can increase as the business grows and more services are offered.
