    There are plenty of business like that about, so a few hours on Google will give you the information you need.

    What people will pay, very much depends on what your standards are; the products you use, the attention to detail, etc.
    Are you looking to target the average joe who just wants a quick valet, or someone who is into cars, but doesnt have the time or space to do it themselves!

    For anyone and everyone who may need it or want it,I want on average 20 cars a week and onaverage charge from 40 to 130 Euro,I've done cars for a few weddings also

    What would I be getting for my 40 Euro out of curiosity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 sierrajuliet46


    A basic inside and out clean with tar removal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 sierrajuliet46

    I think you're being very optimistic with the card you'll cover in a week. Travelling around and working on that many cars in a week would mean you probably wouldn't have the time to spend on them that the likes of MX and D&D do in the area.

    Yeah!
    If you got 2 cars a day I'd say you'd be doing well.
    Unless it was a lot of small quick jobs, but then the travelling and setting up times would cut into how many you can cover in a day.

    Would you be working 6 days a week?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,996 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    Just on the price bit, if you were able to do the dent removal, fix a few chips and give the car a once over I'd say you might have a market there. They are generally seperate business and someone looking to sell a car would prob pay about 200 to get a service like that.

    Thanks for the advice
