I have wanted to started a mobile carwash and detailing business since 2011, but never really got around to taking the first steps to get started until my birthday last year on May 31st when I had a chance to talk with a couple of family members who had been in business for themselves for many years. At that point I decided that I would start my own detailing business in 1 year’s time. During the past year, I started making small purchases little by little while working as many overtime hours as possible at my job. During this time, I realized that I needed to get training in order to properly use the tools and supplies that I had purchased already as well as the ones that I would be purchasing later as it got closer to my goal of starting a business.
I knew that training would be critical to my success as a detailer. So, I began searching out schools and amongst all of the ones that I found, Detail King kept coming up in my search. There were many others that were priced considerably higher, but seem to offer the same course offerings as the one offered in the 2-day technician training. After a few months of searching and going back and forth on what to do for training, I came back to Detail King’s website in March to see that a 3-day course was being offered for the May 15th-17th 2015 class. At that point, I knew I had to do something. So, I did. I made the call worked with Nate on the payment details of the course (which I will add that this part was really easy), and the rest is all history.
Once I arrived to class, everyone was really friendly. We had a great group, like 10 people, of car guys and gals. The instructors were great! Big shout out to Nick, Paul, and the entire crew. Everyone seem to know their stuff. Even the guys of Detail King who had other job titles relating to social media and internet marketing specialists were very well versed in auto detailing and the equipment used in the shop which was a big help during the lab days. So no matter who you asked a question to, they were able to give you a quality answer since they all have backgrounds in detailing. Oh yeah, there’s free doughnuts and pastries in the mornings to which were a huge bonus for me since I have been known to have bit of a sweet tooth from time to time.
