Hi everyone, I’ve been a lurking member for about seven years now. In that time I’ve been toying with the idea of starting my own detailing business by scouting online forums for business and technical info & continuing to detail cars for my family and friends as I have since I was about 15. I have a good career in the insurance business that supports our family but have always longed to build a business of my own. I’m 39 now and have figured it’s time to finally get this thing off the ground.
I want to take a moment to publicly thank Justin at Final Inspection for some guidance he provided last week. After discussing products with a rep for a particular company, I wanted to hear the opinions of someone in my region that uses the brand. I tracked Justin down via this site and Facebook and fired a message off to him. Shortly after, he replied with an invitation to give him a call. This may turn out to be the most valuable 30 minutes I’ve spent starting this business. I did get the information about the company that I was looking for but, as it turns out, his business model and situation are very similar to mine. Without knowing it, he provided some much needed reassurance in the direction I am headed.
I’m still piecing things together for officially opening “M Reflections Auto Aesthetics” by getting an Instagram page and Facebook going. I have some additional lighting to add to my work area, shelving to put up etc so that my workspace is as professional appearing as can be. In the mean time, I’m handling our cars and those of our friends not only with the polisher but now with a camera too. I hope to start posting a lot more in the Show & Shine section of this site very soon!
Anyhow, thank you to the membership here, I will always have a lot to learn but don’t think I’d be as ready as I am without this site.
