My Business card (criticism?)

[Colinpd137]

Got these in the mail today from Vistaprint. Thought i'd go with a different template other than water droplets like quite a few detailing cards iv'e seen.
This is just a side-job for me, and do it out of my garage or mobile in my town, while i'm going to college.

I just jumped into it and starting to build a client basis. So far majority of people say its the best job they've seen done ever and will return from now on. Makes me have a lot of pride in my work
99% of the reason i do it, is because I really enjoy it and take my time and do my best on every job. The money is just a +.

Haze'd out my # and email address for spam reasons, hope ya'll approve! constructive criticism is always welcome!

Please forgive the crudeness of my example,

Cars, Trucks & Suvs
Interior & Exterior Treatment
Full range of services

Including but not limited to:
Hand Wash & Wax.....................Interior Deep Cleaning
Paint Decontamination................Engine Bay Cleaning
Sealant Application......................Full Paint Correction
& More!

The dots are just there for spacing.

Also,
Call/Text for more info
or to make an appointment!


I like the idea of the mustang and the stripes, but I'm not a fan of how they run vertical, then abruptly change direction, yet the car isn't aligned with either axis... To be fair I have a wicked headache at the moment (it's also three hours past my bed time) and that could be the real reason for my dislike of the stripes, or it's the clash between Y and Z axis while the car is tilted forward throws off the perspective... Either way you should probably just ignore me on that area.

Now having said all that, your card is better then most business cards I have received and you're off to a pretty damn good start.

Very good constructive criticism, thanks for taking the time to write all that down and give your input! I only ordered 250 cards cause I know i'm going to change it up in the future once these are all but gone.
Now Take some Tylenol and get some rest! Again thank you

I would recommend loosing the @yahoo.com e-mail address. For a small fee through Gmail, you can setup an address with your business name in it.

For example: info@colinsauto.com

This makes for a more professional impression.

Good advice!

I like the mustang layout along with the 3D impression the stripes give (obviously cause I have one) but I would suggestion the same as above with the text.

Also SUV is an acronym, not a word. All three letters are capitalized.

Or solve all problems: "Sport Utility Vehicles"

The phrasing could be improved slightly, but you biggest improvement is to get a custom e-mail address. Makes you look like someone who really cares.
