How do I start my own car detailing business out of my garage?
I would start by doing my own car. (In fact, that is how I began detailing in the first place…)Then offer to do cars for family members and friends. Not for money, but for free. If money is really tight, and your work good, perhaps you can ask them to cover the cost of supplies.Practice, practice, practice…In the beginning, you will need an alternative source of income, because you won’t be making any money out of detailing.Continuously educate yourself. Countless free sources are available online, on YouTube or Google. (see below)Auto Fetish Detail - this guy’s channel is chock full of information. I learned a lot from him myself.Important: If you want this to be a business, and not just a hobby, you need to learn Marketing.You can be the best detailer on the face of the planet, if no one knows about you, you might as well be the worst. To get customers outside your immediate circle of family and friends, you need to market your services.Again, plenty of resources are available for free online or at your local library. Educate yourself in all aspects of Marketing (and sales), and you’ll do good in any business.Good luck!
