    Whats up Autopians! I haven`t been on here in probably three years--I`ve been busy; slaving away at architecture school. Hope everything is a lot better than the last time I was here! The economy was really bad and there were people closing up shop and down-scaling their businesses left and right. Anyway, I have for sale my mobile auto detailing business. I started this business when I was 18 and ran it for the past 6 years. I have since graduated architecture school, gotten a full time job at a great firm, as well as am in the process of starting another architecture related business, so it is time to let this go to someone else who can put in the work and reap the rewards.



    I have a full flash website located at www. Superior-Detailing .com (should be down for the next few days as I`m moving servers, check back on 9-7-13) that was designed by a professional graphic designer at a cost of $2800. I have taken the phone number off of google maps and other search engines, and I still get 3-6 phone calls per day with absolutely no money put into advertising. If you "re-connected" the numbers to these sources, you could expect much more traffic flow(10-20 per day) and opportunities to make new customers and drive more clients to your services



    I have attempted to make a list of everything included in the trailer. Try and keep in mind that I did not go and make a list of everything there, so in reality, I am selling a lot more than what is listed here.



    -2006 Haulmark 6` x 12` V-Nose Trailer

    -Highly customized on the inside with vinyl FRP walls, custom Aluminum racing shelves, and other kinds of custom installs to make working efficient.

    -Exterior graphics to market the business with the company name, website, phone number, and our slogan

    -Dewalt 2750 PSI Pressure Washer with Cat pump

    -5000 Watt Generator

    -Mytee Lite II Carpet Extractor

    -Ozone Generator

    -Paint thickness Gauge

    -100 Gallon Water Tank

    -Husky Contractor grade 60 Gallon Electric compressor

    -Ridgid Vacuum with custom wall mount in trailer for vacuum, hoses, and accessories.

    -Metabo Rotary buffer

    -Porter Cable Orbital polisher

    -Built in pressure washer hose reels

    -Electric extension cords, 200` water hose

    -Polishing pads, brushes, towels, etc. Enough to last one full season, or enough to pay for the cost of the purchase two time over.

    -Enough product to last for A LONG time. Cleaners, degreasers, polishes, compounds, waxes, and sealants.



    All in all I have over $15,000 into what is being sold here, and am asking much, much less. I`ve made my money from the company and am just looking to get a fair value for the equipment and website. I am available to talk by email or by phone if you should have any questions. If this post is in the wrong forum, then moderators, I do apologize. PM me or email me @ ShaunCarollo@Superior-Detailing.com if you`d like to talk more!

    Thanks! I actually just got back to the east side from living in Grand Rapids for a summer internship yesterday. You know the building they`re working on @ Fulton and Division? That`s my firm! They should be moving in next Monday. Grand Rapids is a great city, you`re lucky to live there!

    Depending on what somebody was interested in, I would part out items. You can PM me if you`d like to talk and we can exchange phone numbers.

    Sorry to see you get out of the biz. You were one of the only a few die hard mobile guys here in Metro Detroit. Is Tom buying your stuff? He was seriously considering it last time we spoke. Thanks for the e-mail btw!



    I hope you`re still going to check in with us here @ Autopia......?
