As these past 5 years have gone by we have been developing our craft as well as improving our look little by little and reaching the top to stand out from our competition. Five years ago when I first began my passion for detailing (or as I like to use “vehicle re-conditioner) I knew I was not going to show up to a customers house with a hose and bucket to wash their vehicles with dirty water filled with calcium deposits from neighborhood drainage. No! I was going to show up in a nice, clean van with all my equipment inside, well-organized, well-groomed and smelling good.
This van was not quite what I had in mind to start with but for some people, me included, it’s hard to start something when we don’t have the capital or resources to purchase a brand new van along with new pressure washers and generators. We have to start at the bottom; but with determination and hard work (and the brains) to strive, my business grew and now enjoy the pleasures of being one of the top detailing companies.
In 2008, we moved up the ladder and bought a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500. New? No, but 10 yrs NEW-ER? YES!! And again it served its purpose until late 2009 and it was time to retire…the van. I bought a 2010 which goes to show that all of our hard work is paying off. Our struggles, headaches, and frustration of being in that parking lot—most people refer to the parking lot as the 405, 10, 5 and 110 freeways–and from that polluting 1986 van we had at the very beginning….
Yes, ladies and gentleman, I present the NEW & IMPROVED Chevy Express Vans sitting on 20″, fully equipped with everything and anything to detail a car (even in the desert!) Does hard work pays off?? What do you think??
On behalf of the Allure team, Thank you. Thank you to all of our loyal customers that have been with us since the beginning; to our one-time customers (we are working to make you a loyal customer soon) that have allowed us to take care of their vehicles; to our long-gone customers that at one point hired us but couldn’t continue paying for their car care expensive (or simply decided we were just not what they were looking for). Again, Thank you. Who knows what else is in store for Allure Detail in the next few years…Keep a look out for us-we might just show up on your TV screen or podcast showing and telling everyone what you already know, why we are the BEST at what we do.
Glad to see a small business owner being wise and careful with resources. Too many small businesses go under because they take on more debt than they need to. If you don’t need brand new vehicles, why purchase them. This small business has the foresight to be in business for quite some time. Their cusotmers love the treatment and surface protection given to their cars to bring back repeat and loyal business. Congratulation for a job sell done. http://buildsitepro.com/home.asp
