    A CZcams video led Alan to his success with GoDetail. He started his car detailing business right out of high school, expecting it would be a temporary gig for the summer. When he saw another auto detailing business’ video-and that they were making $300 a day-he realized car detailing could be a lucrative career. He left college to focus full-time on his business, and after its first full year, he’s making an average of $50K a month at only 22 years old.
    We’ll get Alan’s insights on starting a mobile detailing business in our interview. He’ll tell us what it costs to get started and what kind of gear you need as a car wash business. We’ll also get his advice on branding and advertising to quickly build a customer base, and what processes he built during the startup phase that led to such phenomenal growth once he went full-time.
    One crucial key to GoDetail’s success is their consistency. Their top-notch customer experience keeps people coming back. Today Alan shares his tips on how to cultivate a positive culture of excellence, along with his advice for instilling those values and goals in your team.
    Anyone who’s interested in the mobile detailing business will learn a lot from this interview! You can find out more about GoDetail online at www.godetailwash.com/.

      Roughly just a thousand. Put as much money back into the company as possible upfront. My favorite thing about detailing is that there is A LOT of ways to do things correctly. Its a very regimented service but within those guidelines theres a lot of freedom (ie: brands for chemicals, gear, marketing)

    No matter what anyone says the money doesn’t lie. Knowing Alan personally and professionally, this man proves himself everyday by the business growing on the back of his hard work. When he could have been goofing off like most people at this age he was grinding, sleep out of the question. This position is not handed out but earned. If it were handed out it couldn’t be maintained. If you want to try to get here, ultimately you can only do it with what’s inside of you, things like your work ethic, attitude, and motivation. Don’t sleep!

    The thing i hated about doing mobile detailing was the money I left on the table. I’m in DFW so there’s a lot of traffic. The time it takes to setup/breakdown, traffic and time it takes to go to every location I left around 450 a day on the table vs doing it out of my garage. I can tell clients to drop off their vehicles the night before or early morning and then start on them around 6am. No extra money on a shop since I’m doing it from home. No money on gas, vehicles or extra insurance. I will be getting a shop down the line as we grow.
    When it comes to tools get you a BLO AIR-S, Mytee extractor, McCulloch steamer, Koch Chemie chemicals and make sure you get microfiber wash. This guy is a genius in marketing. Gonna start taking his route

    I Detailed ever summer for 11 years . I really enjoyed it. Wished I would have pushed it full time.. small towns then all the sudden everyone does and does it way cheap so alot of people went that route. Lost some regulars .. I never really pushed it like I should have ..it's an awesome career. The enjoyment of seeing the end result is a cool feeling..

    Detailers in my area are always booked or too busy. That means room in the market for more or higher prices.
