Hey guys,
Well I resigned from my company last week. My last day of work is March 19th and the following week my fiancee and I will head to Florida!!!! Finally!!! We're gonna stay at her parent's place in Davenport for a week or so then move into a more permanent place in either the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area or near Sarasota.
I have been thinking about possibly opening up a business doing auto and boat detailing. I am very anal when it comes to cleaing my boat and cars and I know how to do an excellent job inside and out, and also know which products work the best on different applications. Basically I would provide a service that would wash, wax and thoroughly detail cars, boats and yachts. I would come to the customers residence, workplace (or marina) and do the cleaning there so there is no inconvenience to the customer. And I figure there are plenty of rich people in those areas who own large boats and expensive cars who probably don't want to take the time and effort to do the detailing themselves.
Anyways, since many of you guys live down in Florida in those areas on the southern west coast, do you think there is a good market for a service like this?? Do you think there are already many people doing this and that I'd have too much competition to be successfull?? Also, do most marinas provide their own detailing services or would they allow a private company (person) to come detail boats in their marinas??? Any advice you guys could give me would be much appreciated. Be honest!! If you think I am out of my mind then let me know. By the way, thanks for already answering many of my questions about my relocation to Florida.
I thought a business like this would be enjoyable because my two favorite hobbies are cars and boats and I love working outdoors. Plus I'd much rather do that than work for another large company being stuck in a cubicle or office all day.
If you want to, you can call me at 203-521-4685 to discuss or just reply to this.
Thanks again,
Rich
