    Starting new shop. Please see pictures

    I'm opening up my own shop. It's been a long and stressful project. So far we have chemical stations and equipment set up. Can you look at the pictures below and tell me if you recommend anything I can do to make it look more professional?

    Thanks
    Nick

    Nice probabbly some detail banners / or even a price list so when a coustomer comes to your shop / he can see all the service`s you have

    not all the coustomers know about all the type of service`s a complete detailer offers

    I would add a nice lcd plasma tv / with some dish / a nice sound system so while working you got to have music!!
    And ofcourse a sofa for maybe a client that came earlier to pick up his car / so he can be comfortable!!

    All the best in your new shop!!!

    Incredible. Great shop. Only thing I see is "where are the drains"? But that place is more than enough to do well. Good luck, ask if you need advice. But I think you'll be fine.

    It looks like you are doing some painting on the outside. If you are not planning on on repainting the inside, I think I would pick one of outside colors to use as an accent stripe inside. Using an accent stripe would break up the plan white walls and should not take much work nor use little paint.

    How many square feet is your shop?

    Congratulations! A two part epoxy floor would really make it pop. Maybe a couple pics or posters of cars etc.A concrete stain would be pretty cheap under $100. On exterior maybe a couple "Smile you are on camera" signs .

    Yeah, epoxy the floor makes it look better and safer. When you add the flake it provides extra traction.

    And I feel epoxy floors clean up easier.
