Hi,
I currently work as a police officer and run a successful busy mobile detailing business on my days off. I've decided that while I love helping others, I'd rather not be forced on shifts where I didn't get much sleep the night before and that I can make a better living off owning a mobile detailing, car wash and detailing center. I want to open a Hand washing car wash, which would have a conveyor belt and as it rolls through one worker pre rinses the car with a pressure washer followed by a foam application as the vehicle rolls along to a group of 4-6 workers who clean the paint top to bottom including the wheels and tires. The vehicle then goes into the next station where it goes through a set of blowers and then two employees use microfiber drying towels and a handheld blower to touch up any drops. Depending on the customers selection, the vehicle is either completed or gets a quick interior vac and windows cleaned. Also on the property will be two LaserWash360 touchless wash bays and a 4 bay detailing garage for full details, paint correction and ceramic coating applications. Currently I am in talks with a property where I live that has a leasing opportunity in a shopping plaza with a grocery store, two large department stores, a hardware store, sports store, pet store, liquor store and in development for an additional 15 stores. I've talked with a developer who said by what the survey shows (10,000 cars of traffic a day through the area and a population of 35,000 in the immediate 5 miles) that it would easily be achievable to get 30,000 vehicles a year through a 2 bay touchless wash. My question is should I go with that and have the mobile detailing or should I opt for the more populated area where I can put the hand washing tunnel, touchless wash bays and detailing center. I want to help create jobs and not have machines do all the work. The more populated area is situated within an intersection of 3 major state highways and within a population of 70,000 people in the immediate 6 mile radius from the area I am interested in. Go big or go home right?
