2014 watch out

[vitalcarcare]

I have been MIA for about a year, but don`t think for a second I lost passion detailing. 2012 was a challenge for me (having twins is a lot of work) and 2013 was a year of catch up. Well we finally got caught up and started looking toward the future.

I spent January of this year dreaming big, had a couple LARGE contracts come up and even though they didnt pan out the way that we anticipated. It led us towards new doors(literally).

I have been ACHING to be able to post in this very sub-topic and am looking at AF for support/advice/encouragement as Vital Car Care grows! We just signed the lease on 2000sqft location.

Now that we have a little ROOM to mess with

We just have to make a plan

Needless to say we are excited to expand, and we are excited about the coming adventure we have in store for us!

Nice! You have anywhere comfortable for customers to do paperwork? Wait even? Good luck and best wishes

The plan is to locate our "office" upstairs. The "lounge" will be where the current office is and will function mainly as "flex" space. There are no facilities in the building so its not going to be setup for a wait while wash kind of thing. Our plan is to continue to keep overhead LOW and profit HIGH and continue to target our niche.

Very nice! Keep us updated! It`s looking great so far.

[Pockets]

Wow...very nice....Best of luck !!!! Keep us updated on the progress with pics...

[vitalcarcare]

Thanks guys!
Saturday starts the pressure washing and the demolition/construction of the office. I will post pics as we go along. Hopefully the lift will be here later this week first part of this week.

Here is the lift (http://www.challengerlifts.com/MR6.shtml)

After the floors are clean and degunked we will start to move everything in. We are still by appointment only, and have a couple big leads on a steady lead of cars that will get us profiting sooner than later.

6 years in the making, lots of surprises along the way, but if you keep your mind set and hone in on what you want. you can make it happen. (be looking for a big update on my marketing topic (Here) (http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/marketing-strategies/31679-marketing-basics.html)

Wow! Congratulations! Like everyone else, I`m excited to see the results in the coming months. Judging by the plan, I`d say it`s going to be epic! Really excited to see the work that`s done in those bays ;)

It is mobile, handles up to 6k, lifts 60, locks max 49. PLENTY to do wheels off detailing.
