The one factor you have to take into consideration also, is that most people (unfortunately) don't care about having there vehicles detailed, let alone washed, during the winter.
There are several options to deal with it, like making enough money through the year so that you can shut down during the winter similar to lawn care companies, paving companies, etc., or you could also provide add-on services that are not affected by the weather so that you can still operate during the winter months.
For mobile detailers in cold climates, I highly recommend you put alot of emphasis in your business plan about operating during this time of year. |
This is very correct. For me, my regular customers (bi-weekly wash and vacuums) keep me fairly busy. It definitely slows in the winter months though, especially with snow and very cold temperatures.
