Earn from Car
You can earn money by endorsing or selling vehicles whether they are brand new or preowned. What I mean by vehicles in this context are all types of cars like sedans, hatchbacks, touring, SUVs ... etc. as well as trucks and motorcycles. This is a straightforward transaction: you buy a vehicle and then resell it.
Others buy an old or damaged vehicle and then fix it and then sell it. If you do not have the capital to do it then you can endorse or refer a vehicle or vehicle dealership through social media and other channels and get paid for your efforts.
You Can Start Young
You can maybe start at an early age buying and maybe fixing a bicycle. You can then learn to add small motors to it and then sell it as an electric bicycle.
Electric bicycles are becoming popular as people become health and environment conscious and may not want the drawbacks of owning a car like petrol costs, finding parking and being unable to ride public transport. An electric bicycle solves this.
From here you can level up to more complicated vehicles such as cars.
Other Ways to Earn Money Without Being a Car Mechanic
Everybody wants a new vehicle especially the high end models. When I bought my brand new car everybody riding in it always comments about the brand new car smell. New cars are also easier to maintain as they do not breakdown except if you buy a lemon.
However, a vehicle like the car starts to degrade heavily after three to five years of use and then malfunctions happens much more often. It is normal. Many people especially those with the means usually buy a new car or trade their old car for a new one. If you are an expert in cars This is an opportunity for you to offer your consulting when buying a car.
You would think that this is a job for a mechanic who would be primarily be interested in the engine, ride quality or maintenance cost of a car but you are wrong. There are people who have special considerations when buying a car. A socially conscious buyer might be interested in the social image of the car they are buying.
Maybe they want themselves to be perceived in a certain way by their cars. Flashy people buy flashy cars, manly people are associated with muscle cars, environmentally conscious buy hybrids or electrics ... etc. There are even people who custom built their own vehicles based on their needs.
Here is a service a car expert can offer to those willing to utilise it. Just look at the amount of cars being featured in social media and you get my point.
There are enterprising people who start their own car repair shop at their own garages with friends and acquaintances. Garages are an excellent startup office for any business. Even Apple Computers the now trillion dollar company was started out in a garage.
You can also be hired as a negotiator when buying cars. People are well aware of the dubious new and used vehicles salespeople and fear of being fooled by them. You can use this genuine fear of a client having a bad deal or a lemon of a car to help them get the best deal or car.
Normal people wait several years to buy their fast or replacement cars and they know they are not the expert in car buying negotiation or of the cars themselves. Based on my experience I would gladly pay a car expert to help me buy a car based on my experience of buying lemon preowned cars and the expensive price I paid for a new car.
You may also offer your car for lease. There are now online services that helps you to lease your car. This is another source of revenue for you but be aware of the damage to your car that can be done by those who leased your car to you.
You can also offer the services of your car to businesses as their mobile billboard. You can put large and small ads to the prominent body parts of your car and get paid for it. This is true especially if you drive in high traffic areas where most pedestrians and passengers can see your car as you pass by.
