Tap an Untapped Market

This is a quick one...no actual detailing technique involved, but for those of you out there who have or are starting a detailing business:

 

Go to sites like vehix.com, do a search for cars for sale in your local area - call them...schedule them. It hit me like a ton of bricks today! I have 3 cars booked from just a dozen phone calls Everything you need is right on the site: pictures of the car so you can give an accurate estimate right then and there, the sellers contact information, where they're located...everything!

Add this to your (keep in mind) I just hooked up with two Golf Cart dealerships. They haven't actually used me yet (only got connected last week). They estimate 10-20 carts a week. Not a bad side line...

Will have to check that out. Thanks!!!

Good find indeed, local used car dealerships are a good place to start as well. Im going to head over to a used one where they have a old neglected car sitting out there asking for a buff.

how exactly do you go about saying what your doing?

To summarize it, I basically tell them how a fully detailed car will allow them to bump up the selling price significantly. I also offer them 10% off their new car as well.

will check this out. My business has been slow so I've had to work full time at my day job. I don't enjoy that nearly as much as detailing cars, although, it is a lot easier...
