My latest Business card (what do you think?)

Here's a revision of it after a little tweaking.

Thanks for the help guys.

you (waist space) repeat yourself with:
High quality detailing - show cars and exotics...

About the 10%...
to me the message sounds like this:
you never worked for me but i i leave a review online and i get 10% off? nonsense, review on what ? u never worked for me.

do discount cards separate and don`t mix your bc with that , use both sides of bcards and show quality and a nice design , the front of the card is heavy , keep it simple
that`s my opinion

Thanks, you make some good points there.
Also for the 10% thing I could just leave these in the car after the service. I'll try to clean the redundancy up a bit. Thanks

Looks good. Like someone stated above, save the 10% off to leave in customers cars. Make them earn it.

I use the back of my business card for appointment stuff.

I have to agree with a post above. The "High quality detailing" either reword it or loose it.

The font change to keep the column straight is a bit off when I looked at it and it is repetitive.

This might be buy design, your card looks like all high end, as in the DD detail is not what you do. If that is your target, you are spot on.

Don't know if you want to move this list to the back of the card ( change to portrait ) ??

The referral / review tracking "note cards" just use the same size cards ( can go lighter stock to save $$ ) and have a spot to put in a tracking number / code.
This can be as simple as the invoice number on the job, so you know who refered or reviewed you and you know to put them on the 10% discount list.

just some non expert / non owner ( i.e. consumer ) thoughts on card layout.

in general looks good.

Are you fully licensed to perform mechanical repairs? Often there are stricter requirements for that and huge fines if your shop is not properly approved and/or you don't have a mechanic license/ASE certification.

Might want to check that out with the state before advertising that sort of service associated with your business.

Thanks High end is my target but I don't want that to scare off the daily drivers so maybe I'll make a change for that, some middle ground statement or something. Good tip on the referral thing.

I am not and I'll look into that, that will probably be removed for now. Thanks Charlie.
