Honestly? Local community Facebook groups were a game-changer for me. No fancy ads, no paid promotions — just simple, direct posts.

I’d post something like:

"Hey, I’ve got my tool truck in the neighborhood for the next few hours if anyone needs a quick job done."

That was it. And people responded — fast. Why? Because they’ve got a leaky tap, a door that won’t close properly, or a picture frame that’s been sitting on the floor for weeks… and suddenly, someone’s available right now to fix it.
If you’re just starting out, don’t underestimate how much people value speed and convenience — especially in your own neighborhood. And whether you’re running an older setup or keeping an eye on new trucks for sale, remember: it’s not just about the vehicle, it’s about being visible and accessible when your community needs you.
