Choose the one you like best.
Keep in mind the last two with my actual logo would be $5 extra.

I like the first one but i would change the fond on your name to make it stand out a little more. That way it wouldnt look so plane. I also like the last one a lot both look great in my book clena and simple.

I tried to make "Hart's" the same font as my logo, but that as close I can get.
 
I like 4, but for some reason the "detailer" under your name doesn't look right. I don't know if you need to put detailer as title. Maybe something along the line President/Owner/Operator. Something showing that you are the head of the company
 
Ditto that, get rid of the "detailer". Or at least jaz it up. Put something like "Paint Restoration Specialist"
 
I definitely like the first one - looks great!
I agree, you should put owner.
The others seem imbalanced and the red is too loud - I REALLY think the first one is the way you want to go out of those.
Good luck.
I want to see what you pick!!

I like the 1st one as well. On the other hand, I also like the added one. But I bet that would cost more to print. And agree with putting owner instead of detailer. Maybe a poll?
 
I'd love to see a card with a shiny detailed card on it rather than a clock, but that's just me.

This one is actually the same price as all the other ones without my logo.
They are all templates, so it's hard to actually get one with a nice detailed car or something.
 
What option are using for the business cards? Are you making them yourself, or having someone do them? Have you been quoted for something like this? Color business cards, expecially the last one with the RMP needle, will cost you an arm and a leg.

Basic printing includes one color, or one logo. Anything else.. well, is extra. I've been to OfficeMax, FedEx/Kinkos, OfficeDepot, and a local shop, and it's really costly for something nice. I would stick to something simple, and gets your name out.

I would also have something with your logo on it.

Which one do you like the most?

I like that.

The thing I'm a little woried with "Owner", is I don't want to go full business scale just yet. I'm just doing this as a little side bus. this year to see how it goes. Just 2-3 cars a week along with my other job.

I can always put Owner the year after depending how well I do this year.
 
The thing I like about this one is that it sticks out. If I had that in my stack of business cards, it would grab my attention. Just my humble .02

I was given a website by Abrcrombie who has helped me out a ton.

All those cards that I have shown EXCEPT the ones with my actual logo are $20 for 250 cards or $30 for 500 cards. Same price for that last one. To get a glossy finish it's another $10 (I'm just getting matte finish though). Also I could upgrade to a premium paper for $12.

To upload my actual logo is another $5-6 on those two cards I showed w/ my logo.

I just realized that's not a clock. lol :p If getting a car on the card weren't an option, then I like the plain one better, but I agree with the other posters, "paint restoration specialist" sounds much better. :)

I also believe by putting "Detailer" it could mean you are working for someone else. Although your name, and the name of the business are on it, it's just something to think about. They don't know you do 2-3 cars a week, unless you tell them. And what if word of mouth gets around, and things start booming say, 2-3 cars a day?

I'm also considering insurance again, since quite a few people ask for it. I had it when I did it full-time, but I'm slowly making the conversion to compounding/polishing mainly. Insurance is a must, along with proper licensing. I know you're young like myself, but have you had a chance to speak to a lawyer?


Take care bro..
