I did a quick scan of the boards, and did not see a section for this, but I was wondering if there is an appropriate place to ask for a local referral for detailing and minor paint work type jobs.

I have some minor paint work that I don't feel comfortable doing, and would like a referral, if possible, to someone I can trust to do a good job.
 
there is a thread, but i forget what it is titled.

might also help if you post your location, and what you're looking to have done.
 
You could try the below approach by posting
a new thread starter, in which you list the
specific details/skills you're seeking:

I have people call me, e-mail me and private message me all the time looking for a professional detailer and I tell them all the same thing...


Post a "NEW" thread on this forum like this,

Pro Detailer wanted in Resume Speed, Iowa

Then in their post, fill in the details.


Our forum works better than Angie's List in that when a person replies to a thread like the above, the person either will have or won't have a "Posting History" and I tell the person that contacted me to read through their posting history.

Your posting history is important, I recommend you always keep it professional.


There's usually a few people with see the thread and then reply to it and that gives them a posting history count of "1" and sorry to say, that's not going to instill confidence in the person looking for a pro detailer.

This is why belonging to a forum like this and sharing your work and maintaining a professional character both offline AND online can help you get business.


Here's an example except I created the post for the person as a professional courtesy but usually I request they "join the forum" and create their own post.


Qualified Detailer needed in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina


One of the people that replied to the above thread was contacted by my friend at "Corvette Mikes" and is going to pay a visit to the customer this Friday and we'll all get to see how this play out.

Thanks for the replies -- I wanted to ask first if it was an acceptable use of the forum, which apparently it is. I will do as Mike suggests.

Thanks for the responses!
