There are many places in the United States where the operation of a mobile car wash makes a lot of sense, especially in areas with good weather, people have a lot of money and very nice cars; for example, Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Austin, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. Well, let me talk a little bit about setting up a mobile detailing and carwash business in Georgia, especially in the Atlanta area.
People are really in their cars in Atlanta, and the suburban cities are pretty incredible, there is a strong middle class and an incredible amount of BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Cadillac and luxury SUVs. The metro area is very good, as there are many professionals, and huge parking structures that are full during the week - just think how many buildings belong to Tramwell Crow, or all large corporations. Well, while Atlanta is a big market, it is not alone in Georgia, as there are other great places and cities for cleaning cars.
Once you go beyond Atlanta, the price points cannot be saved, but I will obey you that Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Augusta and Valdosta are also very good. In the state of Savannah Georgia, there are 400,000 people in the county, and this is not like the “Deep South”, it is a strong middle-class area. In addition, if you work in these areas, you will notice that there is a good amount of labor supply, and a large number of people already have auto-update skills, which makes them ideal for a mobile car wash business. This is not the case, as in other parts of the country, it makes Georgia unique in this respect, and in Savannah it is a big cleaning and detailing of cars.
In addition, Georgia is a simple place to do business if you follow the rules for DEP and keep washing water from your storm drains. About eight years ago, I sat down with the regional environmental management manager of DEP in Macon Georgia, where we talked about his problems and how competition is not erased in an environmentally friendly way. This left the door open for our company because we followed the rules, and the DEP manager was happy to send us referrals.
There are also a very large number of small cities throughout Georgia, and it is rather surprising to talk to people there, and in these small cities everyone knows everyone, so if you do quality work, referrals just keep coming. There is also a strong military presence along the coast of Georgia and, of course, outside Atlanta, and in Valdosta there is a National Guard base, an Air Force base outside Macon and another one north of Atlanta. And, of course, Columbus Georgia has a huge military base, whose history is returning.
Yes, when I think about all the great places to go into the mobile business or the mobile car cleaning business, Georgia is always on the top of my list. I hope you please consider all this and think about it.
