+1, I happen to be a happy customer of Mose and you never know who's lurking. Sorry to hear about the situation you were put in. Just keep in mind that when a customer has a good experience they will tell a few people, but when a customer has a bad experience they will tell everyone.

Re: Omfg!!!!

do the work, store the car, move cars around to accommodate customer, work on other cars, call client, work on cars, move cars around etc....not like you really took a lot out of your time to move the cars around...takes 10-15 min total for the whole day (if you move slow and multiple times, hell I move a car in and out of my garage > driveway to check work about 20 times per detail if I don't have proper lighting situation = >15 minutes)

you with the "don't care, don't want their business attitude" probably just turned off 5 prospective clients who were thinking about using you from this forum...you would be surprised at how many people find a quality detailer on this site...GOOD JOB

I find it funny how some with work lined up ***** about a client when there are too many people without a job....wanna switch roles???

I don't want to keep this going guys. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of how a business should be run. Like I said in a previous post on this thread, I have been very fortunate to have some wonderful customers like Z33Driver. I work out of my home, have limited space and when a customer leaves a care for days on end I end up parking my own car outside. Not only that but if I should have another car show up...who's car gets left outside overnight? All I was saying is that when a person/customer "expects" me to house his car for three extra days, just because it's too inconvenient for them to pick it up, then there's a problem and I would rather not have those kinds of customers. I alos realize that sometimes life gets in the way and there's nothing you can do about that. But when it's just because you feel like it's not important enough to put in your schedule then it's something that needs to be addressed.

I have got quite a few jobs from this website and I appreciate every single one of them! I will continue to treat my customers with the utmost in respect and treat their cars as though they were my own.

It's not that I don't care about getting business. It's that I care about how I am treated. It would be hard for me to treat someone with respect if they aren't treating me the same way. I really don't think that's too much to ask....do you?


Again, I don't want this to turn into a big argument. My customers know how much they mean to me and how much I appreciate them, they are happy with the work I do and Thankfully they keep calling!

It makes me very happy and satisfied to know that you are happy with the work I do for you!! People like you are the kind of customers I want. They make me want to work harder and do a better job because they appreciate what I do!

Point taken about lurkers though.

We still need to figure out a time for you and your mom to come by for the follow up coats of wax. If you guys need me to come out your way I can do that too! Just let me know!!

We should get together and talk about detailing and stuff! It would be good to know someone else in the area!
