The Detail Spot Auto Detailing Podcast

Mobile detailing vs shop detailing is a pretty common crossroad that we all encounter somewhere along the way of our career as a detailer.

Which is better though? In this episode you will get my opinion based on my own personal goals and will help you find out which is better for you based on your goals because that is ultimately what business is all about.

Mobile detailing comes in all different shapes and sizes. You can literally do this out of any vehicle realistically. The fact that anyone can start in this industry with any vehicle and the minimum amount of equipment is super cool.

Shop detailing is a little more complex. It takes a little more risk and work to succeed because of the extra overhead it requires. Shop detailing is a great direction to take if you are looking to offer more services than just detailing.

They're both really great routes to take but I will share with you the direction I chose to take and why.

This is why there are so many different opinions in the auto detailing industry of what "a perfect paint correction" is. 

In this episode of The Detail Spot Podcast you will find out Dustin's opinion of a "perfect paint correction and how to approach client's looking for this service. He talks about why a lot of detailers are going about this service the wrong way.

Taking a security deposit is one of the biggest challenges for detailers. We often times feel that it is an inconvenience and just don't do it in hopes that the client shows up for their appointment. A client that does not show up for an appointment can be frustrating because it is a waste of time and money.

Security deposits will hold the client accountable and filter out clients that you really do not want to provide your detailing services for.

In this episode we talk about some "nitty gritty" topics and Trevor tells us a couple stories that just happened recently.
