I just implemented a physical checklist. I used to just glance at the checklist on my phone but physical copy is the move! God is good. 🙏

In regards to something you could implement. Since you have checklists and a garage already, have the team at the end of the day fill out the checklists for each van and move empty bottles/ dirty rags/ and things that need replacing to a specific place in the garage. Then if you have someone that works the garage/store every day, have them come in an hour earlier than the team, and go through the check list for what each van needs. They can then refill bottles, get replacement towels and tools ready, and manage anything else that may need to be taken care of for the vans. This way, when the team comes in, they grab the check list, review that everything needed is ready, and load up and go. Since everything they need will be out ready to pick up from one location in the garage, you reduce the running around first thing in the morning when things are more likely to be left behind. This can lead to better inventory control in the future if you need to implement it as well.

You might want to do a “vehicle” checklist for both your work vans and customers vehicle. For example on a customer vehicle do a walk around the vehicle and note any damage etc.. your work van same thing do a walk around report any damages starting/end mileage, gas usage etc…

Opening my mobile wash in miami and movin from brooklyn in a few months been studying your videos and couldnt be more thankful i came across you.

GET IT MANG! YOU GOT THIS!!!!

The best pro tip I can think of of this: you can easily get carried away with the different amount of products out there...so try to have only a few products that give you multiple uses so you don't get inundated with a ton of products. Examples: Superclean: Diluted 4 to1 for tires amd wheels Diluted 5 to 1 for interior cleaning Diluted 10 to 1 for non tinted glass and surfaces with white lettering Mags syn spray wax: Great for exterior Also works well on interior glossy trim peices Mags hyper dressing Diluted 1 to 1 for exterior trim peices and tire shine Diluted 3 to 1 for satin finish for interior dressing and leather seats Diluted 4 to 1 for matte finish for interior amd leather This way only a few products can be used in multiple ways with various dulituin ratios. Hope this helps

Really been enjoying your videos recently, it’s so cool to see you starting from scratch and growing this at a pace that feels so realistic. I’m still in college in the UK (so I’m 17) and you’re really making me look forward to the future to get out there and do what I enjoy! Thanks for all the tips, all so easy to digest and enjoyable knowing this is the genuine you. Keep it up!

You and the camera man are always on top of it making sure everyone’s learning 🔥🔥

Nice I work for same company he used to work for was wondering why I haven't seen him at the terminal glad to see he is doing good he is really hard working always had positive attitude !

Keep it up. It's always learning curve everyday to keep your business go and how to work with employees and etc. Keep it up! I'm doing the same thing with mobile mechanic in AZ

Thank you so much man i was looking for some business insurance info And fortunately i saw your video that was good information man keep it up you doing excellent work 👍

love the videos and wish you nothing but success my man🙏

Everything u said in this clip are pure facts!

Been watching your videos for a while now and love to watch you (and your business) grow. One thing I keep wondering every time I hear you talk about pricing and raising prices is what your pricing formula looks like. And to be honest, I am wondering if you even have one. In case you're not familiar with the concept, you take your costs (material + labor) and apply a pre-defined markup. For example, if you want to make $20 an hour for yourself (or your employee) and use $5 of materials and equipment (say, detailing brush costs $3 and you can use it 100 times so 3/100=$0.03 depreciation every time you use it) then if your markup is a multiplier of 2.5 you would charge $25*2.5=$62.50. This way you not only have money to pay yourself and/or your employee(s) and to restock material and equipment, but you will have a predefined profit that can be reinvested into your business. Think marketing, branding, training your employees, adding vehicles to your fleet, upgrading certain equipment, etc. This way it becomes easier to manage goals to work towards, and how you'll reinvest your profits towards the next goal once you hit them. And if you feel like a markup of 2-2.5 is too high, I would recommend looking up some videos on pricing, the psychology of sales, and how it generally gives you less whiney customers and people who keep haggling over prices, leaving you with more time to work on customers who you actually want to work for. Just a few thouhgts, hope any of it helps. Keep it up!

that's great bro u took my advice on checklist

1ST ON CHANNEL AND HERE TODAY GREAT WORK 👍🏻👊🏻

Anybody seeking advice from HUNTER just watch his videos. He explained well the questions usually asked he already has said 1,000 times. Over night success is different from long term success

Please make a video based on how much your employees get paid? Much love,from South Africa.

Hooked on your videos from over the pond in England. You have a great work ethic and love what your achieving. Just wondering if you ever take the seats out of the vehicle when you can't get the vacuum in tight places.

Checklist is a must , I see you have a lot of great ideas for your employees and your business. Maybe find an employee who is slightly mechanically inclined to do oil changes at the shop and regular preventative maintenance

Great video and great advice!

If you go and actually have them fill the trucks, fill all the products, gas up the trucks and such at the end of the day, check the list make sure all is done therefore in the morning everything is ready to go the next day. In the morning if you like you can do another quick checklist and go.

Good job Wayne

My dude your videos are on point keep them coming they help out a lot of people that don’t know certain things so do you still have your store so like me can order thru you and how u send

Definately you need to do a new wrap for your van .. all that white space unused..... Bigger lettering maybe use open sans block or similar. easier to take in. ,, keep it simple... you need water fed pole and 12 v pump for when the weather is hot.

Is there anyway we could possibly get pdfs of your checklists to build off of? I am really loving the channel. I am looking into starting my own business and you have so much info.

You should do a checklist of customer car for damage before working on car or when you accept the car so customer can’t blame damage on you after ….

U should have dedicated people to Mahe sure the van is unloaded and loved ready to go for the next day. Everything filled in the van. Hire 2 people to do that every day

I saw that at the end u said any advice so i just wana say mayb get a mitt on a stick instead of a brush for the roof of the big vehicles even if its lubricated it may cause scratches... But keep it up man i hope i get to your level someday, love the vids

Personally from experience getting thrown into the work without much explaining is better. My brother brought me to his shops to help him out and I didn’t know what I was getting into. But first thing I did was buff and polish a boat, I learned a lot quicker from just getting thrown in blindly

Hell yea cant wait for the shop to open so i can slide thru and grab some chemicals

Hey James, I’m really enjoying your videos. I wished I lived in Cali and could pick up the trade from you! Much knowledge to gained from you man!!

Business has been dying out for me in Georgia, haven't had a call in almost 2 weeks, I've handed out tons of business cards, paying for ads on Facebook, posting videos and pics on both Facebook and Instagram, sending out mass texts to previous clients, my van has a wrap and I wear my uniform with Business info on it everywhere I go, my Google page is averaging 30-40 views per week and my website 20-30 clicks but no bookings... I don't know what to do anymore... it's like I practically gotta beg people to show interest

closing checklist should have everything ready for the morning. its a simple concept but lost on a lot of employees.

Do your work my brother. I’m thinking about going into the business

I got 11 cars boss special that I’m working on this weekedn. How do you price employees . I have been doing it my self and it’s taking a toll on doing solo.

How much do you make in a day? If you don't mind me asking! I have been detailing vehicles for 15 years. I'm 28 now. I have worked on every thing from Lamborghini and Ferraris I do full pant correction with ceramic coats and I know I'm way under budget as I only charge 800 depending on the vehicle.

I would be weary of making your employees responsible for the loading of supplies. I would make it easier for them and have a manager to make sure to know who is doing what for the day and make sure to load that van and have the crew ready. For me, If I were one of your employees I would tell you that if you want me to be more efficient you would need to have the vans and routes ready every morning.

I'm looking into hiring an employee. How do you go by paying your employee.

Do you have checklist template

I’m sure most “employees” are getting free training. Once they learn the business I don’t see why any would want to stay unless they have a cut of the business. They might as well start their own business. I don’t see how this can be an effective business model.
