should i start a car detailing business?

April 26, 2010 By David Bynon 1 Comment

i have the ability and patience to wash, polish and wax cars as well as clean it from the inside, but the problem is im not perfect for example if a customer would give me a car with a scratch in it or swirl marks i will probably not be able to fix that but i can make the car much cleaner and a hell of a lot more shiney than they gave it to me. also i will not be able to clean the engine because i am afraid of messing anything up. all these things besides the fact that im a teen are keeping me from starting a small car detailing business, so i was wandering what do you think should i, should i not? oh and btw if i were to start one i was thinking of charging only per car due to the fact that im not as good as the pro's which charge any where from 100-500.

Andrew i started a detailing business in Louisiana about ten years ago and didn’t know all the tricks but i did a good job and word of mouth traveled the next thing you knew i was detailing limos only and charging $275.00 a pop to wash wax vac and armor all. within a tear i had professional upholstery cleaner and my prices went up and i hired four teens and branched out to service the people who didn’t have time to get these things done i went from company to company and offered my services and raked in the money all i had to do was set firm dates to be there and the customers just added up. its a good first business to get into and if you play your cards right you can make allot of money. good luck and don’t give up.you will never know if you don’t try.
