Free Business Idea of the Week
Dec 2nd, 2007 by admin
There never seems to be an extra minute in the day to clean out and vacuum your vehicle. So a month passes, and you have three inches of dust accumulation on the dashboard, wrappers and sticky, empty coffee cups shoved underneath the seat and in the sides of the doors and trying to see out the windows through all of the kid’s fingerprints and dog drool is like navigating a boat on a foggy night. If only you could call the car fairy. Like magic, they would come to your home or business and clean out your wheels right then and there. In a matter of minutes, what was once a bottomless pit of filth transformed into a heavenly sight! What a great business idea! Interested, well here’s what’s involved in starting a mobile vehicle cleaning service:
Approximate Start-Up Costs: $25,000 to $50,000 (cost of van, onboard water and electricity supply, cleaning supplies, marketing, fuel, licenses and fees)
Potential Names: On-The-Spot Car Cleaning, Cars Count Mobile Cleaning, Spit-n-Shine Mobile Car Cleaning, For the Love of Cars Mobile Cleaning
Barriers to Entry: Existing self-service and automated car washes (market awareness and customer loyalty), costs tied to discretionary income, logistics on where washes and excess water will be allowed and where vehicles are parked (i.e. street parking, parking garage)
