The auto detailing business is a huge opportunity for individuals looking to start a part-time business or those looking to venture into a full time business opportunity. The start up cost of starting a mobile detailing business is low and relatively simple to teach oneself how to operate. A mobile detailer can manage the cleaning of fleets for company cars, travel to people's homes, office buildings with big parking lots and many other opportunities. Depending on how extensive one plans to get you can charge from $50 - $200 to detail a car. Entrepreneurs who can provide good customer service and a great quality detailing can have tremendous opportunities.
The marketing of beginning an auto detailing business can be done at a very low cost. Simply put together a flier and you can go to office complex parking lots, shopping centers, malls and put fliers on windshields. If you don't have the time to do this yourself you can pay a student to do this for you. Make sure if you're paying someone to do this for you to do it on a commission basis. Have a coupon on the flier for a special and have the person handing out fliers put initials on the coupon. Pay the individual based on the number of calls to assure they're handing out the fliers by asking for the initials on the coupon. Another great way to get your new business out in the community is offer on a Saturday morning to assist at a school fundraiser that's having a car wash. Offer to do the car mats with your extractor for free and you'll get your company out in front of a ton of people who enjoy clean cars.
