No detail for you!!!
Nice and simple, but I think the car looks a little out of proportion.

It's not bad but I am no graphic artist either. I always leave my logo design to logo designers. You can find some really cheap ones online. logo-design-studio.com I have used in the past. It is like $50 and they revise it a million times until you are 100% happy with it.

Yes, the car needs a little work. Maybe some other type of vehicle that shows a bit more of a sparkling shine or some other type of glossy paint reflection.

Also, having the contact information above the name won't look right IMO. maybe consider revising that?
I almost forgot www.vistaprint.com offers free logo design now too! I think you have to buy your business cards from them but I do anyway.

Any help would be greatly appreiacted.
hey jahazii. design is what i do for a living. And i have to say that isn't too bad. I always prefer and reccomend simple logos. Make it too busy and people won't bother figuring it out. Always try to look at your work through the non-designer's eyes. Does it make sense? Is it easy to read? Can you QUICKLY figure out what the company does or supplies? With that said- i think the car in blue oval is fine. I immediatly recognized what it was. I didn't have to think about it. But the "j" is a little hard to make out if just glancing at the logo. Try some other fonts for the main text. Also realize with a stacked logo like this it may be hard to fit all of it on a card or sign. I would also keep "The Finishing Touch" off the main logo and just use it as a slug line on cards/stationary/website that you can interchange whenever you want. JMO
Best of luck

The logo is a bit tired and looks more like a traffic sign that one to be used for a detailing business.
I would highly recommend a business card place that offers automobile templates that you can work with. The link below offers 6 pages under the "Auto" section to check out.
I used these guys and they offer great service, pricing, selections, options and quality -

Layout is fine. The picture or graphic above the name is how you would want it. It's a natural progression for our eyes to read down. I'd be happy to work on it for you. People here help me enough it would be nice to give something back.
For a Business Card a picture of a beautifuly clean car does help. I will agree with that. But you don't have to have a real photo as your logo and i would Highly advise against it. But for a card it's a good idea.
sorry i'm late to this thread. i'm actually a graphic designer and i found the thread through a search for something else. if i had to give you some constructive criticism on it, i'd say this: designs made up of several elements should have one element that dominates and the other elements "support" it. the logo, as you've posted it, is somewhat balanced and as a result the eye doesn't naturally fall anywhere. i think you'd do well to find a heavier version of that typeface or make the graphic of the car much bigger and the type smaller. the case against that though, is that the graphic is very generic to cars and doesn't specifically brand your company so it's not really something you'd usually want to put a lot of emphasis on. it's not really a company logo; it's just a graphic of a car.
the elements themselves aren't too bad, but play with the sizes of them in relation to one another to get different looks. a good way to judge these things is to step back and squint your eyes until everything's a little bit blurry. if your eye doesn't find a natural flow through the elements or it naturally falls on an element that you, as the company representative, don't find important, then it's time to play with the balance of the elements.
