When it comes to operating a detailing business, sometimes we would just like to continue to do things the way we have always done them. It is easy to understand, almost always fun and the way we know best. Hey, doing things the way we have always done them got us this far. As our detailing...

Yes it sounds a bit odd, however, when you consider the options, it was the perfect solution. This is a true story that happened the other day while I was detailing a Volvo SUV at the home of one of my good customers. Like all other detailing appointments, I had called the day before just to...

Just a couple of quick questions for all the pro detailers out there. 1- Do you offer your gift cards in dollar amounts? Such as; $100, $200, $300. 2- Or do you sell a gift card based on the actual price of the vehicle to be detailed?

Just wanted to share a few thoughts about becoming an entrepreneur. First of all, it is a shame that some people just do not take young people (or old people for that matter) seriously when it comes to starting a real business. Sort of reminds me of 65 year old who took a simple family recipe...

Thinking about adding a blog on my website. Interesting in hearing everyone's thought about this and whether or not you think it is a good idea to post a daily online journal centered around the topic of detailing. Please post your thoughts on the subject. Thanks.

I am currently in the process of contacting local detailing business owners here in Southern NJ. We need to find people who are willing to put in some time. At the current time I am looking for a core group of three to five people to start out with. I guess you could say we are in the groundwork...

Someone mentioned in another thread that Google was the new Yellow Pages. So I figured I would do a search on my own detailing business. I went to Google and plugged in "automobile detailing" and then Williamstown, NJ. I was surprised to find out that five out of the top ten results led to my...

Currently in the process of renewing my membership for 2007 and was just wondering if any other professional detailing business owners belong to this organization. The ASQ helps to provide a place where knowledge can be exchanged in a way that will help any service oriented business, such as...
