Im starting to get intrested in doing this, but I dont know anyone that has or spoken to anyone that has. I heard it was a big chunk of money to do it. Any Thoughts?

+1. It will cost you several thousands of dollars a year to become one.

I looked into it a while ago. It cost you money, almost like a franchise fee, they reimburse you for advertising though.

What does it give you besides a name to use?

The fees? They pay for a lot of your advertising. Trust me when I say that the biggest expense for me is advertising. Plus you become a licensed reseller so you can sell to resellers. Persoanlly, I have a wholeseller I can use for Zymol stuff if need be. i just couldn`t see the fees being justified unless you got a TON of business from it.

The ability to sell their products and overcharge your customers??? LOL

Not really sure. But hopefully there`s some good returns on investments for jumping through all the hoops to get a name on your door. Unless your dealing with a majority of your customers being in the high end range I`m guessing it`s probably not worth it.

I think that it would depend a lot on your location as well.

I think that there is a market for it in certain regions. For instance, there is only one Zymol detailer in southern california, and he is in Bevery Hills. Obviously there is a market for him there, but I don`t know if you could open up another one in a close vicinity and have it do that well. There is a market for a high end detail here in SoCal, but I don`t know if you could really convince that many new customers on the value of not only a high end detail, but a Zymol product detail.
