What sets your business
apart from the competition? |
“We are mobile-only and
give interior detailing the
same attention as a wash
and wax. I expect to have
my cup holder clean.” |
“We’ve been around for 40
years and are one of the
oldest in Fort Worth.” |
“We pay attention to the
small
things like cleaning
the door
jambs, the edges
of the hood
and vacuuming
the trunk.”
|
How can customers best prepare
their vehicle for auto detailing? |
“People can remove as
much as they want to.” |
“Call and ask if we can
[squeeze
you in] the
same day.” |
“We ask them to remove
all of their things.”
|
What’s the most rewarding
part of your job? |
“What lets me know we’re
doing a good job is that
85 percent of our clients
are repeat customers.” |
“By doing good quality work,
people are always willing to
wait [for an appointment]
and come back.” |
“We have people travel quite
a distance to get here. We
make them feel at home, so
they like to hang around here.”
