Starting a Mobile Service

[Tom N]

I can think of some very good detailers that don`t have their own water or electric when they are mobile.

I stopped lugging around my generator long ago and it has rarely caused a problem for me. Today was the first time that it was a little inconvenient. I had to run my cord out of a second story window but I still got the job done and I didn`t have a noisy generator bugging everyone around me.

Billy (Presidential Detail) comes to mind when I think about a good detailer that goes mobile without his own water or electric. I doubt anyone here would view him as less than pro for that.

I do see your point though about having a professional appearance. I just don`t think being self-contained should be a factor. I know many self-contained detailers around here that I consider terrible detailers.

I agree with this.
I have a generator and I hate it. I never use it unless I have no choice which was once so far this year.
Having a small tank to supply your own water is nice but also not needed. I can pretty much always get within a 100ft of water if needed. Plus I stay away from the out in the parking lot jobs.
The customer is going to call you again and/or refer you to their friends by the work they see you do not because they see you with your own electric or power.
