So What Does It Take to Become the Best Car Detailing Studio in India?
Understanding the market & the opportunities
For any business to succeed, it is important for an entrepreneur to intimately know the market he or she wishes to target, and where to find these potential customers.
Find out the population of the city you wish to open your detailing studio in. Study the sales of cars in the city and the increase-decrease in car ownership. Look at the competition, the number of detailing studios operating in the city and car washes in the city. This will further give you an insight about the level of awareness car owners have about car detailing, and how much ground work needs to be done.
Further, find out the needs of the various types of car owners in your city. Are they the ones who get their cars washed once a month or those who go for a more intense cleanse and maintenance bi-annually or yearly. Target the customers who know the difference between car wash and car detailing. Define the common problems that they face, and armed with this knowledge, you will be able to pitch the right car detailing service with a personalised approach to your customers.
Find the right location for your car detailing studio
Car lovers and their cars are everywhere, so any location can work, as long as you are able to find out how to make it work to your business’ advantage. While picking the ideal studio space, look at factors like visibility, footfall, inflow of traffic, cost and space.
A high street location Drive-in Road in Ahmedabad will have a regular inflow of traffic, get great visibility and have high footfalls. But high-street locations do come at with a rental price tag that is premium. While a location on the city outskirts provides bigger space, renting is cheaper and despite being away from the heart of the city, can see regular footfalls from a loyal customer base. The only challenge, the customers will have to go the extra mile to reach you. It also depends on what clientele you want to target.
Get the right detailing tools and equipment
To become the best car detailing studio in India, the next important step is to invest in and acquire the right equipment needed to run the operations. Every car detailing studio must have the following equipment to perform the above tasks to perfection.
- invest in various types of car polishers,
- steam machines,
- pressurised water washers,
- vacuum cleaners of varying sizes,
- bright detailing lights,
- scientific equipment like paint thickness gauge,
- digital paint magnifier,
- swirl finder lights, etc.
Now the important bit. While you will find many vendors selling the above equipment, since it is a long-term investment, you should rely on guidance from detailing experts like CarzSpa to help you pick the best equipment for the job.
