What an opportunity.........

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Opportunity of a lifetime? I just received a call from a gentlemen who asked if I could detail 124 cars in two weeks.........Thats 17 cars a day. I was so stunned at the offer, I didnt even ask what it entailed! I dont know if it was a wash or wash and wax...........I would think a wash tunnel would be more appropriate.

I told the guy Im booked through May. He wanted to know if I knew of anybody that could help him out. I dont think i do!

Wow...Maybe get an autopian team together?

 

[stiffdogg06]

Wow. Tell him that you'll spread it over the whole year. :lol

 

[kleraudio]

This is a bigger headache then I need right now. And what would I do with my current bookings?

 

[kleraudio]

yea this is true. It is definitely a headache, its too bad he called and needed service right away, you would think a guy w/ that many details needed would call a month or 2 in advance.



Is he a dealer?



Jim

 

[Djmigs]

Patrick you didnt atleast ask about what he wanted done and how little was he going to offer....:chuckle:

 

[Envious Eric]

where is he located...i think that a team of ten people should be able to get the 17 per day done no problem, especially if its wash and waxes only



count me in

 

[imported_Picus]

Haha, I'll fly to wherever this is just to get pictures of it.



My bet: we find bodies in at least 3 of the cars.

 

[SpoiledMan]

I'm game. Call him back Pat!

 

[kleraudio]

i wish i was in cali, i would be in too!

If you're just washing and waxing(+claying), it can be done with 3-4 people in 1 day. If you assembly line it, it's alot easier. 1 person washes and clays, 1 person applies wax, 1 person removes wax and the spare person helps out where needed. I'd eat that work up. The biggest profit comes in volume with low overhead/expenses.

 

[budman3]

I'll fly out after the 17th if you need an extra set of hands .

Detail Day at Excel :think2

Patrick,



Call Joe at Superior Shine. He's done big projects before. Did you see his thread on MOL about (cleaner) waxing 40 (I think) buses? I recall he put a team togeter and bought 6 PCs!

 

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Guys, I physically, dont have the time!! (I think)

I may call him back tomorrow for some additional nfo though....I mean who owns (business) 124 cars?

 

[Mobilejay]

My bet: we find bodies in at least 3 of the cars.

:funnypost I was thinking the same thing. That is freakin hilarious

 

[elitemobile]
