Car Detailing Tools Resource
Define Your Standard of Quality
To be successful, you are going to have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk as some car detailing businesses will. This means being able to show your goods and services as being the best in quality and standard.
How will you define quality in your car detailing business?
Ask yourself a few important questions about the quality that you provide, keeping in mind your customers own standard.
How fit are your products and services for use?
How well do your products and services conform to industry specifications?
Do you provide zero defects in your products and services?
Do you provide total customer satisfaction?
Do you provide commitment to on-time delivery?
Do you provide commitment to continuous improvement?
When considering where you can improve keep in mind that the greatest cost to your business is in hidden costs and that this will contribute largely to poor quality, over all.
What can you put in place immediately to improve?
Where will you begin for best impact?
How will you recognize that you have achieved quality?
Establish a quality standard according to your judgement of excellence. If another detailing shop is providing a service that you are not and you want to do the same, go about your business implementing that change. Make sure, that as you do this, you are still providing your customers with a level of care that is above reproach.
Look at your entire operation and decide which parts of your operation need immediate attention and which elements can wait. Make sure your suppliers know that you want top quality in what they deliver to you, as well. Dont settle for less than top quality.. Dont look for ways to cut costs at the expense of your quality service and performance. Be the real deal, the total package and your customers will know this about you without a doubt! The more confident your customers are in your services and products, the more the news will get out that you are the car detailing business to visit.
Payroll: you have to be able to keep enough money to pay employees and keep track of monies paid. Look for obvious signs of neglect such as paint degradation. Define if your detail business is a start-up, if you are expanding an established detail business, or if you are purchasing an existing detail business. |
