After a lot of hard work, I`ve realized one of my life`s dreams to own an auto detail shop.



Earlier this year I turned my part time passion into a full career. I took my experience of 13 years in marketing and advertising to open a premium auto detailing center.



For the past three years I was doing mobile detailing part time for three years, but I felt it was time to really think big.



My goals for my shop were to create an atmosphere of luxury that is unrivaled in the automotive sector, provide unparalleled client attention and service, benefit driven value, outstanding reconditioning results and to be a leader in eco-friendly detailing.



Our anchor clients love the concept and we`re gaining new clients everyday since we`ve opened!



Here`s a few pictures of the new shop.

Shop looks cool as well as your website. If I ever find myself in Grand Prairie I will have to stop by.

Lighting is always an issue. The bays are so big that we have to fill them with halo worklights. I`ve got an estimate to upgrade the lighting....$$$$$!

But I am looking to upgrade them in a few months.

My programmer has been swamped and hasn`t gotten to put new address up yet. Because my site is full Flash, I can`t update it myself :o Plan on redesigning and going back to HTML soon - but the shop is in North Dallas.



Website is scheduled to be update this week.

Business has surprisingly been good. We are growing fast.



In addition to the new shop we`ve picked up a few contracts to do washing/detailing at upscale office buildings.



We still do mobile too, but we`ve limited our mobile services to maintenance washes and express details. We ask clients to come to the shop for full correction type jobs.

Wow very nice. If I may make a suggestion, the waiting area looks a little cold and uninviting. How about putting down some area rugs and perhaps more artwork on the walls of cars from the past and present?

What kind of initial investment did it take to get something like this off the ground?
