Do you usually go to the customers house and do your work there or do you do it out of your house?

I have them come to my house...and once in a blue moon, I`ll go over to them.

Depends on what they want. I`d prefer to detail at my house, surrounded by all my stuff, but I do plenty of on site detailing too.
There are only three things you need to know about me. Gloss, Gloss, GLOSS!!
I do perfer my house because i just never know what i might need. I could probably fit all my stuff in my car but you just never know. The last few jobs i did at my house but the owners (which i know personally) didnt have any other ride so we just kinda trade vehicles for the day (they get to drive the 800$ celica )
I guess you just kinda have to do what the customer wants.

This is why I go to the customer. I have all of my products in the trailer and there is no need to trade cars for the day. I just schedule with the customer wherever he/she may be.

But what is the best way to "convince" people to drop their car off at your house?
For regular customers I go to them.
If they`re friends of mine and I`m giving them a discount, then they`re coming over to my house just to make it easier on me.

Very rarely do a customer come to me. I normally go to them - home or office. There has been about three occasions due to particular situations where the customer dropped their vehicles off at my home.
"If you want to be rich - work. If you want to be clever - study. But if you want to be happy - do what you really like"
If someone offers to bring their car to me I surely accept the offer, but I always tell everyone that I will come to them.
OK, so then do you just work straight through 4-8 hours of the detail? What about food, bathroom or rest breaks when you`re at a customers house?
I detail at home in my 2 car attached garage. All my "stuff" is in one location, the kitchen and bathroom are just a few feet away...
I normally go to the customer, whether it`s at home or office.

For bathroom breaks... go before you leave, lol. If I`m at an office building, then they usually have restrooms you can use. I don`t think I`d ever ask at someone`s house.
For drinks I carry an ice chest. I also carry some different foods with me. Crackers, Gold Cup Bars, etc.
For a break you can go chill in your truck for 10 or so mins but I rarely do that. I usually want to get the heck out of there especially when it`s super hot out or freezing cold.
