Most mobile detailers in central Alberta look similar on the surface. Five questions sort the serious operations from the side-hustles.
Five questions to ask any mobile detailer
Mobile detailing in central Alberta has low barriers to entry — anyone with a shop-vac and a car can call themselves a detailer. These five questions sort the serious operations from the side-hustles.
- What equipment do you bring? Real answer mentions water tank, generator, hot-water extractor, steamer. Vague answer signals an under-equipped operation.
- Are you insured? Yes/no question. Anyone working in your driveway should carry general liability.
- What's your process? They should be able to walk you through it in 60 seconds. If they can't, they don't have a process.
- What are your packages and prices? Posted, written-down packages. If pricing is 'we'll figure it out when I get there', it's not pricing.
- Can you show me work? Photos, before/afters, Google reviews. A few months of consistent posted work beats a dozen testimonials.
