We recently connected with Drayland Coney and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Drayland thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I grew up helping my dad restore cars, so alot of close friends always called with their car problems so i created the idea of being a mobile mechanic because so many people call me consistently, but im still in the works of legitimately taking it to the next level llc wise, still need start up cost to reach a different audience

Drayland, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Well I attended Universal Technical Institute, but prior to that I always was a person people would call to figure out whats wrong with their car due to my fathers reputation of car restoration, so quite naturally people i went to school with, and people in my neighborhood would call me to figure out issues with their vehicle , overall im very passionate about my craft, i take pride in hearing a car run smoothly and safely for every person i come in contact with, also theres more to me than just turnin wrenches also, so ill be delving into entertainment also

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Its funny but i actually started off craigslist, a long time ago , also passing cards out, and word of mouth . Creating a catchy phrase and take pictures of your craft, document precisely, create a facebook, Instagram, and network on social apps for your target audience.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

Knowing when to separate business and friendship, some individuals use friendship as a means to avoid paying for something that could cost or be costly, dont get me wrong its ok to do certain things free , but dont be taken advantage of, know your value and stick to it, stay educated and constantly pursuing a better mindset each day,pray and believe in your cause and everything will fall into place
