again , only a question you can answer , the answer depends on ;
1) your knowledge and ability and willingness to learn and train
2) your investment in equipment and the coverage you have with the equipment .
3) what service do you aim to offer , professional auto locksmith , shop based low cost clones and repairs or a messer mopping up easy work cheap for beer tokens ?
if your advertising as a professional auto locksmith then no job is too much hassle or not worth doing , the markets full of messers taking on and undercutting the simpler jobs and this is killing rates for all , in fact due to this its these simple jobs that are becoming too much hassle to bother with as too many doing them for beer money so no profit in them. so its the jobs the messers cant do that are most worth doing as command the better rates .
id say in the early days with limited knowledge , limited coverage then on obd avoid mercedes , volvo , bmw , vag after 2008 , toyota , later mitsubishi , alot after 2014 , the right cloner will fill some gaps for spares , it all depends what kit you have and what coverage you have , also what friends you have locally that will be willing to dig you out of the crap if worst happens as dont want to be at the mercy of the dealers , so keeping the locals on side that can help you will help.
your only limited by your knowledge , ability , investment and your equipment .
so my advice would be proper research in your area of prices and most common vehicles , your competition , what your investment budget will buy , and then formulate a workable business plan , identify what training you might need and take this . id not advise setting up on a wing and a prayer buying kit blind and grabbing some prices out of the air , as its a business at end of day that your rates will need to cover costs , future investment to keep up or expand , a wage , advertising , insurances , an amount for call backs and faults etc etc etc
once you have your kit , you will have a better idea of what it can cover , ie with AD kit you have IQ which is very clear on what you can and cant do , the info is their , you just need to look it up.
