Well that escalated rather quickly...
OP like it has been mentioned before, I wouldn't go out and buy expensive buffers to meet a need you are currently assuming you have to fill. Me personally, I own the 6" and 3" Griot's machines and I've learned techniques to make them work faster for my...
I have done this very thing quite a few times. If I don't have a time slot or the ability to meet a potential customers needs....for example I don't do PPF, I refer them to someone I know that does great work that's in the area and he does the same for me. I just spent the greater part of an...
I've been looking into it all to really decide if it's worth the $99. Sure they give you some neat resources to add to your website if you have one and some marketing tricks that they use. Overall I don't really think that it's worth it. But that's not to say it isn't worth it for someone else...
Just as Suds mentioned, the base price is just that, a base price to get them to raise their hand and contact you. Do some Googling and find out what other detailers in your area are charging and put yourself in the ballpark with those numbers. There are a lot of factors that go into pricing and...
Hit up their website for recommended usage and pad combinations. Try it on a test panel with different combos of pad aggressiveness to see what works. Start with a polishing pad and work your way to compounding pad to figure out the results you want. Don't go too fast on the speed or you will...
Yes that will work. You can also claim a portion of the interest you paid on the Silverado last year if you were in business last year as well. You have to call the loan peeps and ask them for the total amount of interest you paid last year. I just did it for last year and I was able to do that...
As long as you are using what you have as far as chemicals and can find the balance between what to have on hand versus what you are using you will be okay. I'm fully mobile and detail out of my 3 series BMW wagon so I only take what I need for the work I'm doing. Usually too much. Find what...
I fully understand what you are saying. There is a way to crack into the market via advertising while targeting the customer that you want. I'm just not there yet with my situation. For me, at this point in the journey, it just doesn't make sense for me to use Yelp past what I have right now. Do...
It's a little funny to me that you mentioned Yelp. I have had a bunch of 5 star reviews posted by customers on Yelp only to have the reviews moved to their "Not recommended" tab by their software that can't be reversed by anyone. Mysterious, I don't think so. It just so happens that I noticed a...
This is kind of what I did. Cars and Coffee or other car events. I have decals with my FB and IG @ names on my wagon. It starts a conversation that can turn into revenue if you are even a decent salesman. I have even gone as far as not washing my car for a whole month and then about the time...
Got the business license renewed for the year. Booked my very first regular maintenance customer for monthly cleanings. '17 Range Roger Sport, '18 Range Rover Velar, '17 BMW 328 sedan. Woot woot!
