Take a minute and follow along. I've been messing with photoshop for about 6 years now and I'm truly no master but I can manuver around most of anything and make what I think looks good to me 
If you don't have photoshop I believe a printshop program or corel draw program would probably have to be on the list to get really custom when it comes to making your own stuff.
First off I want everyone to now I came up with everything except the MOBILE DETAILING LOGO. I had a good friend throw something together for a swap in services. He is local and doesn't advertise, but he barely has time to chat he stays busy !!
ENOUGH with all that! On to the point.

Greasy Fingers below, just got through with breakfast
As you all can see this was beneficial to any low-budget detailer. I also got 150 magnets and 750 Buisness cards for a ultra-cheap amount. They are always sending emails giving deals "250 Premium B. Cards for $4.99" it's ridiculous. If you can make your own art work it's el-cheapo to go this route but if you prefer to let someone else do it, just be sure to get all of it on CD or DVD so that you can upload to vistaprint.com
Pics of my bizcards also made in photoshop.
Any questions email me @ [email protected] or PM me.
Thanks and hope this helps.

- First get yourself a logo and text for a brochure and work up a sketch. Rough draft some may call it. You will need whatever it takes to satisfies the look your trying to achieve... Some may use markers, some may not... I personally sketch in photoshop with numerous yay or nays and deletes...
Front
- Next you will have to download a template from www.vistaprint.com for the brochure outline. It's in .psd format for photoshop users and I'm sure it's in corel draw as well. Otherwise you may have to scale up to and then upload a .jpg to their site and see if everything is clear. If you look above at my pictures the lines indicate the crease or "fold" at which the brochure will come to you pre-folded.
- Follow the steps online to complete your necessary proofing. You will have to pay to upload the 2 images "Front/Back" then you will have to sacrifice the one time charge for this and the brochures + shipping. Listen close "If you upload this one time, every month vistaprint will send you emails "25 Brochures Free for our valued customer" This my friends is where you get hooked up. I ordered 25 the first go around to check the vendor out and I was hooked. I then proceeded to order more when I got the "25 free email" and then all I paid was shipping !!!! I've since racked up about 200 brochures for about $6 a pop shipping thats 7x$6= $42. Thats not bad in my opinion for a pre-folded matte FULL COLOR / Front and Back Brochure. Look at the finished product below.
