Tips for choosing a name for your detailing business

[Stephan@FamouslyHot]

In the book by Renny Doyle, there is a section covering this

Try to think about what your city/town is known for and reflect your name similar to that? That way when people search online, they'll be able to recognize a local company

I tried hard coming up with a business name but I went with the KISS...

Simply... Dan Tran's Mobile Detailing

Or Mister Tran's Mobile Detailing... A bit formal but whatever

Thoughts?

Personally I like names with strong memorable words that describe your business. It's not hard to think of names once you get on the right track.
Some ideas:
Reflections
First impressions
Superior
Envision
Ultra clean
Sparkle
Drive Shine
Perfection
Or even DT Detailing would work. You get the idea, let us know what you go with ok.

Good tips

I'm kind of torn on this subject. I kind of started a side business in Germany just detailing cars for friends of mine while I was there. I called it Neue Fertig Pro Detailing. It worked because it was Germany and people knew what neue fertig means. I was thinking of calling mine New Finish Detailing here as this is the south and people won't know how to pronounce it here. Thoughts?

Regardless of being in the south, German is not a widely spoken language in the states. Additionally, there is an astonishing amount of ignorance towards German culture in America. New Finish sounds good to me, but you might have to explain it a bit to non car people who don't use the same jargon we do.

Thanks for the input. I thought that the New Finish Detailing was kind of self explanatory. I am planning on a little over a year to get the ducks in a row and start.

Anyone have thoughts on "Clareo Detailing"?
Clareo means shine bright in Latin.

Hi guys

Im in a pickle, My business name is Byza's Auto Detailing. Which is my nick name and I love the look on the logo.

But after speaking with a entrepreneur, his advise was to me make it Bayside Auto Detailing which is the area I live in, which is the 2nd wealthiest suburb in my city.

Whats your guys thoughts?
