💩 Why it's ugly

You are storing wrecks, abandoned vehicles, police holds, and cars with stories nobody wants to hear. The paperwork has paperwork, and the customer satisfaction score is emotionally complicated.

💰 Why it prints money

Tow operators, municipalities, body shops, and insurers often need secure overflow storage when lots fill up. Daily storage fees, contract minimums, and limited compliant land can create strong pricing power.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
