The Detail Spot Auto Detailing Podcast Dustin Guard

Is it really worth it to have thousands of dollars in expenses every month? Or better yet does it fit the goals you created when you first started your detailing business?

Being your own boss and creating freedom for yourself is probably a couple benefits you wanted when you first started your own detailing business. The one thing that can take all of that away is growing way too fast or by over extending and building a business that is too big.

By no means am I saying that having employees or a big shop is a bad thing or that it is not profitable because it definitely is if done right. What I will say though is that being small has so many benefits that being big doesn't have. So really consider growing your car detailing business slow and take advantages of the perks that being small has to offer.

Have any of your detailing clients said things like "let me talk to my wife" or "let me think on it" when you tell them the price of your services?

It is honestly pretty common and it is normally due to a few different things such as: trust, availability, or most commonly the price is out of their budget. Now most detailing businesses will let these clients slide through the cracks and not put any effort into trying to get them on the schedule.

In this episode of The Detail Spot Podcast I want to leave you with a few different approaches to start converting more of these clients that don't initially book with you. Don't get me wrong, not every single client will still automatically say yes but I can promise you that you will still convert some of these after using what's inside this podcast episode.

We talk a lot on this episode about achieving success or taking our auto detailing businesses to the next level but who better to really shine light on the topic than Jeremy Stevens the owner of Shine Supply and Stevens Detailing.

This is a guy that I have truly looked up to in this industry from the very beginning and the one that I consider the G.O.A.T. of detailing. This is due to his experience, how he approaches business, and just overall him as a person.

In this episode we talk about A LOT of different topics including:


Jeremy's take on what every business owner should do to take their business up a level and to have not just short term gains but long term success. 
How you can't do anything right if you don't work on yourself first
The evolution of detailing from when Jeremy started in the 90's to now
The reason going all in is the only way.That is what we are going to get into in this episode.

Big question is should you offer car wash services as an auto detailer?

The car wash service and detailing service is so similar but two totally different business models. Detailing being a lot more in depth and car washing being on the cheaper side and a lot quicker.

I notice a lot of detailers offering $20-$40 washes as well as their normal car detailing packages and yes this can be extremely profitable. I mean just think if you did 10 washes at $40 in a day that is $400 which is not bad for a days worth of work. 

The big question is does it look bad for a detailer to offer that type of service at such a low price point. 

That is what we are going to get into in this episode.
