Car Detailing Business
Start a mobile or shop-based detailing company and build the recurring and fleet revenue that makes it worth owning
About this course
This course teaches the menu design, pricing math, recurring-revenue mechanics, and B2B selling that separate a profitable detailing business from a tired side hustle. You will compare the mobile van and the fixed-bay shop on startup cost, scheduling, and margin, then build a three-tier menu (maintenance wash, full detail, paint correction and ceramic coating) anchored so most clients pick the middle. You will calculate your real cost per producing hour, price every package and add-on off it, and stop losing money on "good deals." Finally you will design a monthly membership that smooths cash flow and pitch dealer reconditioning and commercial fleet contracts that book your empty Tuesdays. By the end you can pick a model, set a menu, quote a job in two minutes, and build the recurring and contract revenue that makes the business worth owning.
