2nd - I live in a fairly small town of about 25,000 people. To the north of me is a town of about 45,000 people. The towns are only about 18 minutes apart. Now, people from the smaller town will easily travel to the bigger town to shop, and have things done. Rarely does it happen the other way around. Trouble is, I live in the smaller town, and really dont want to commute even though it is a short distance. Do you think that people would travel for a detail? and if so should I offer a shuttle service between the towns? If I did that I might as well just commute.. Ideas?
3rd - There are about 3 to 4 "detailers" in my town already.. Not to trash the competition, but honestly one of them is basically a car lots `````, one is a ex-marine, viet-nam veteran with some serious issues. ( not to take away from his service record ) Im just saying he has the reputation in town of just "snapping" One shop is an auto body / chop shop looking place, and the last one I wouldnt let them wipe my butt let alone touch my ride. All of them are going after the same clientele, and that is the "car lots" where you bust your ass doing a full detail for 65 bucks. Ive been there, done that, and thats not the market im shooting for. But still I wonder, is one more detail place too many?
