    Talking New to Tampa and to the Detail Business

    Hi there! My name is Kari & I recently moved to Tampa from Chicago. Worked for a car dealer selling cars for about 4 months & that was a pain! So, after being unemployed for 2 months, I have been keeping my new Maxima VERY CLEAN! So, I decided I could do that for everybody! I`m pretty damn good at it, so why not share it w/others & get paid for it?!?!
    I delivered about 80 brochures to my neighbors so far two days ago & have more to deliver, but on the first day, I already have 2 jobs lined up & that was with only about 6 people seeing the brochures! AND I have a website to where I can receive credit card payments too! I think that might help get more business too!
    Anyway, just wanted to say hey & introduce myself. Any tips, suggestions on being successful would be great! Thanks! Look forward too hearing from you! Clean Cars by Kari

    Hi Kari!

    Take a day off and come down to Sarasota and see us sometime!

    Did you know that "Detail City" is in Sarasota!

    Only an hour away.

    Great to have you here.

    Hi Admin!
    No! I did not realize that Detail City is located in Sarasota! I just might have to take your advise & come down & visit.
    Thanks! Kari Ü

    Welcome to DC, I am new myself. There are a lot of good people here. I lived in clearwater for a few years and plan on returning within a year or so and start detailing down there. I know there will be a ton of competition in the area though. Enjoy New Tampa and let me know what the market is like in the area.

    Welcome to DC, Kari!! I wish you all the best in your business!
    Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
    Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."
