Starting a small detailing business

[sal329]

I honestly would advertise wash and waxes. That would be the best and easiest way to make extra money. You can do 8 wash and waxes a day at about $45 each that would be great to get your name out there, as you make money and learn. Practice paint correction on your car, family and friends cars. Then that can be offered. Call your insurance company and then price others for garage keepers insurance, explain to them what you will be offering and get the most you can afford.

There is a lot that you can do this summer in car wash n wax services. Detailing is not the term that you want to use for this service.I started out doing this.

You mainly are a car washing service and what your customers get is convenience from this. What will get you repeat business is doing your best job, or better than the local car washes, stay competitive with pricing on these and your customers will come back to you.

Don`t be afraid to call them back once a month or less and ask if they are ready for another car wash.

A young HS kid in my neighborhood was doing this and made a good amount of money from it while delivering a good service to his customers

Thanks alot guys, I like this idea better. I can still make some money but not do the difficult corrective stuff. Then when I gain enough experience and learn the ropes, I will already have a group of customers that I can offer these services to.

I am now officially a Wash-N-Wax

You will do just fine with that service IMO...make it reasonable in price and the rest will come to you

Not sure how it works up there but if you are going to be mobile you may need to be lisenced and insured. Going to customers homes doesn`t generaly matter but if you get asked to come to there place of employment you will generaly need it to be on the property.

Sorry, at the moment I`m building an Ark.

If you can wait a while, I`ll build it and deliver it by Ark, if we float in tht direction.
