What is your response when neighbors ask if you can wash their car?

People who ask that are usually joking. I would not expect any business to come from something like this. But if you want to give it a shot, offer them your business card.

I tell them to take a # and I might get to it next year.

No problem, pay me

Give them a business card, and I ask when they would like an appointment.

Depends on what she looks like.

I tell them I only have the time and energy to do one car a day (it's the truth, at least the energy part).

Cash or Credit?

I've done a few neighbors cars here and there. I don't do it professionally, so to me it's just sharin the love. They might have a ladder I might need to borrow someday. You never know.

One neighbor picked up an 87 Monte SS that needed some love, so I took about three hours and cleaned her up. He and his wife were pretty happy at the results.

I can't find pics, but it was white with tan interior, with 60K original. I think the dirt I took off was 60K original too!

I actually flyered my neighborhood and got not only a customer, but repeat customer from it. She was a habitual car wash offender, loads of scratches.... After I returned her car looking new she's booked with me for a maintenance package.
