The Challenge
- 1
San Antonio auto mechanics spend $2,800-6,500/month on ads competing with Austin shops 80 miles north targeting Central Texas
- 2
Cost per customer: $70-165, with military PCS cycles creating unpredictable customer turnover as families deploy and relocate
- 3
Chain shops near military bases offer convenience—independent San Antonio mechanics need trust content to build family loyalty
The Solution
YouTube monetization generates $4K-$15K/month stable income regardless of San Antonio's military deployment cycles
Create 120-250+ videos monthly (family vehicle maintenance, military discount guides, South Texas heat repairs, basic DIY) building community trust
YouTube positions your shop as San Antonio's military family expert—referrals from base communities drive consistent business
