I'm not sure if my idea is profitable. How could I investigate it?

[Fab89]

Hi,

I'm thinking of helping people by making sure their car tyres are pumped enough, oil, coolant and windscreen wipe are at the correct levels. People would be able to order a "mini service" with an app and I will come to their house and do it.

I'm thinking around £5-10 is what I'd pay but not sure if I can do all that for that much. If oil levels are almost empty it will cost a lot more that £10 to fill it. I'm thinking charge the minimum to turn up and then charge extra for the price of the oil.

Should I just supply value and work it out later or look into this more rationally first?

Cheers.
