I am guilty of this and always try not to but when it comes to owning a business in which you clean things for people its hard not to judge cars (people) before you get to them.
I recently got a call from a gentleman who picked up my business card from a local coffee shop. He called and wanted to schedule an older, early 90's, 4Runner to have a one step done. As we discussed options he went on to say if I had time he had some other SUVs that could probably use a wash/wax. So at this point I am thinking I will end up with several dirty, old SUVs that will be a headache to clean up.
When I get to his house,turns out he lives in one of the nicest areas around me. His back yard (body of water) overlooks Ono Island. After getting his 4Runner done, and even had time to do a Jeep Wrangler, and Toyota LandCruiser, he opens up his garage. Just a small 3 car garage but it is all done up with checkered flooring, and Porsche flags throughout.
After talking with him when his cars were finished, he goes on to tell me that this is a little vacation home for him. He races Porsches and has been doing so for 20+ years. At his real home he built a warehouse style garage that houses 25+ cars from GT3s to Ford GT to classic muscle and classic Porsche.
Moral of the story is do your best work, every car, every time. You NEVER know what other cars your client may own. I made the mistake of passing judgement just based off of the cars he wanted cleaned and never should have. I have just landed my best client yet though.
Just wanted to share.
