A UA-cam video led Alan to his success with GoDetail. He started his car detailing business right out of high school, expecting it would be a temporary gig for the summer. When he saw another auto detailing business’ video-and that they were making $300 a day-he realized car detailing could be a lucrative career. He left college to focus full-time on his business, and after its first full year, he’s making an average of $50K a month at only 22 years old.
We’ll get Alan’s insights on starting a mobile detailing business in our interview. He’ll tell us what it costs to get started and what kind of gear you need as a car wash business. We’ll also get his advice on branding and advertising to quickly build a customer base, and what processes he built during the startup phase that led to such phenomenal growth once he went full-time.
One crucial key to GoDetail’s success is their consistency. Their top-notch customer experience keeps people coming back. Today Alan shares his tips on how to cultivate a positive culture of excellence, along with his advice for instilling those values and goals in your team.
Anyone who’s interested in the mobile detailing business will learn a lot from this interview! You can find out more about GoDetail online at www.godetailwash.com/.

1k for me. Luckily things like affirm and credit cards exist. You’ll make the money back quick with detailing.
Roughly just a thousand. Put as much money back into the company as possible upfront. My favorite thing about detailing is that there is A LOT of ways to do things correctly. Its a very regimented service but within those guidelines theres a lot of freedom (ie: brands for chemicals, gear, marketing)
@@austinshanks4422 Money is not an issue for me - It is a lot of analysis paralysis what to buy. Ever look at the chemical guys product selection :lol:.
$300??! There’s no way i’d get customers with people offering $40 for the same service & quality..How’s that even sustainable to retain customers?
What stood out the most was stocks and eft’s
I'm blown away, 22 years old. Your half my age but you forsure motivated me. I worked as a custodian for over 15 years. I've been detailing part-time for the past 6 months. I just recently quit my full-time job for other reasons. Now I'm focusing on having to really grow my business. Wish me luck! Thanks for the great video.
Best of luck JT Mobile! You can do it! 😀Just keep going and believing in your business. Thanks for watching the video? Do you do Mobile Detailing as well?
This guy in the vid has the mental maturity of a 50yo.

@@detailforward2530 Platinum spoon. One thing is money, but even huge fortunes can be pissed away. This guy has a billionaire mindset, getting his hands dirty and all. Not many guys his age with money would want to be scrubbing cars.
@@UpFlip yes, Mobile Detailing was right down my alley with the type of work I do. I do admit theirs more that goes into it f49m custodial. As far as carpet and upholstery goes, that's where my strength is as well as being thorough in what I do. So far,detailing has been rewarding, at the same time challenging because of my age (46). This is no doubt a young man's game.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
speaking of been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Mrs Hanna macko

I read this comment a year ago and I just want to say thank you cause I have finally hit my first million ❤️
I came across this video back in March and decided to go all in. 9 months have gone by now since I started my own car detailing company and it's the greatest decision I have ever made. I'm earning more than any other job I have ever had and the freedom that comes with all of this is priceless. Very excited for what's to come! Thank you Alan and UpFlip. You guys literally changed my life and I will always be grateful for it.

You guys did an amazing job for educating someone who is interested in being a business owner. Not just detailing… but anything. That being said I still am pursuing detailing and waiting to see what comes next, maybe it will help me build a music business
Just subscribed today and I have to say, this is a great channel. This video in particular is amazing. A very humble guy who loves his job.
What a great video and interview! Thank you for being so open and honest with your business 👏
Congrats on starting this from the ground up. For everyone citing silver spoon and rich parents, you didn’t listen. He started with $500, made that back with 2 details and reinvested. This kid is in control of his own destiny. Wanna do the same thing? Start small and grow it. Victim mindsets are toxic. Best of luck Allen!
Unfortunately he caught cancer from breathing all those chemicals.
Wait what he actually got cancer? And your sure its from thsi?

Love that people are sharing with everyone, so many people hold all this information close to their chest it makes it very hard to even break into business.
One note, his second helping on that car needs to remove the chain around his wrist while working on someone's car.
Excellent production for this video. Excellent questions presented and this young man is a hard working but also smart (quick to learn through mistakes). Thanks for sharing your business with us!
Man shout out to UpFlip for these amazing videos! Im addicted to watching these! The more i watch the more ideas i get and more motivation to really get out and start my own thing! Not just for me but to give my family a better life rather than barely making it at a 9 to 5! Thank you!
We really appreciate the support Davis. 😀Shout out to you for working hard for you and your family and not giving up. We're so glad the videos are motivating to you. We believe you'll find just the right business for yourself. Would you ever consider starting a business in this industry?
@@UpFlip Hey thanks for responding! Actually yes im wanting to look into this industry but im also been into pressure washing/softwashing.ive already joined a facebook group about power washing and have been studying into it.
Incredible content and specificity. Great-looking business here, too. Thankful the owner shares so much.
I really appreciate these videos! I am in year two of self-employment and am doing a pivot to a different industry this spring; second company. These videos, the questions, the focus on small guys, all of it is FANTASTIC. Thank you!
This is great Alexander. We're happy the videos are helpful. Keep up the great work. 😀💪⭐What type of business are you in?
@@UpFlip I was in tree removal which is a logistical challenge for a person who doesnt have all the equipment to process everything on the spot. I am in the process of starting an exterior washing service and the videos you guys make are a hige inspiration. I have come a long way from being an underpaid intern to fully embracing the entrepeneurial challenge. You guys are a part of that for me
This is so wonderful to hear Alexander. This is one of the primary reasons we make videos like this. You inspire us as well. With these great businesses you have going you're destine for success. Please let us know if you have any other questions along the way on your journey. 😀
Don't know your industry or what you do but I own a mobile auto detailing company. The first years are the hardest because your trying to figure everything out... Year 3 I didn't know if I was going to make it and the last month before I was broke I had my highest month in sales. Keep grinding til the miracle happens, In year 6 now and projected around 250 to 300k in sales... Much love
@@alexanderwatson3392 I own a successful detailing company and I am pivoting to Soft Washing, I will still detail for now but hopefully I can be done with it.
Allen is a cool dude. Thanks a lot really helped acknowledge all the work, material, and efforts needed to start this career. I will definitely keep this video and feedback for if I begin this, or even with other mobile careers.
Just found your videos this morning during my “self investment/development time” or UA-cam for business Ideas during breakfast.
I can’t stand the thought of working for somebody else, I’ve been doing so for 9 years out of high school and have always wanted to do my own thing but didn’t know how and thought at 27 it was too late. However I’m seeing now I have tons of time as some of the guys in your video are way older.
I really love your channel and how you show us as viewers a deep dive into all of these business ideas so we can better grasp what we may want to dip our toes into.
I trust every word they both said. I like how they both know what they’re talking about (very fluently) I also like how the questions are very specific and detailed. God Bless you two with many good reviews and more clients/subscribers 🙏
This guy is awesome man, he’s so open and confident it’s inspiring. Well done buddy, awesome work
I'm passionate about people with such motivation and attitude. Man, I wish you all the success in your business!
Glad I found this video. I have been looking at a lot of videos to start a detailing business and this was the most informative by far.
Great content you guys! You really covered everything and asked him such helpful questions. What an amazing kid! 👍
No matter what anyone says the money doesn’t lie. Knowing Alan personally and professionally, this man proves himself everyday by the business growing on the back of his hard work. When he could have been goofing off like most people at this age he was grinding, sleep out of the question. This position is not handed out but earned. If it were handed out it couldn’t be maintained. If you want to try to get here, ultimately you can only do it with what’s inside of you, things like your work ethic, attitude, and motivation. Don’t sleep!

Thumbs up to the video host for asking all of the right questions. Great job at extracting crucial information that most of us with goals of starting this business need to know
That’s the spirit man, having your own business goes a long way, I’m a director at my family oil/gas business in Nigeria n I give you kudos for what you’re doing man. You’ve taken the right path by making a solid decision. The sky is your starting point. 👍
You must be the Nigerian prince who keeps offering me money whilst only wanting my ba k details to make sure the millions go into the correct account. Bless you!
i love watching all the different types of business videos because even if it’s not the one your looking into, you can still learn insight on how to do things
Well done, young man! Kudos to you and good luck as you continue to grow!
I love the way Upflip asks questions, it really connects to the viewers watching! A mine of golden information here! A new subscriber here! 💯👍
i hate the host nodding and saying ok after every 2 words. like is the worst pretend to listen and not care.
let the dude talk.
Great interview and very inspiring content. I’ve been mulling over the idea of starting my own detailing business for a couple of years and this video may have just motivated me to take that first step.
30:07 said he was guna give the link but doesnt. Whats the point of mentioning that in the videO?
I love your interview. I'm currently creating my mobile detailing. The questions you asked were informative, straight to the point, and helped.
How is the business going?
the content of this video is really great , the interviewer question is really on point, detailed and the owner is really humble and informative
Loved how in depth you guys went with this. I've been detailing at high end shops for 4 years and been wanting to start my own and I am finally making the move to start. With my knowledge I still learned a TON from this video. Going to dive into google my business 100%!

Crazy! I run Rinsed Out LLC out here in NC and we are in a very similar spot! 11 employees, 3 dealers, along with mobile and it’s very interesting. Very aggressive with marketing and staying motivated definitely get you were you need to be!

That’s crazy, looked y’all up and you’re based in my city
How much do you pay your guys and what’s the charge per detail at a dealership and how many do you do a day?
Been detailing for 2 years now changed my life soon as we went on flat rate I was making 1k a weel and the best part of it is I found somthing I love to do and somthing that is enjoy and makes you feel good after hearing your customers all day great content and knowledge!!
im 22 as well and i plan on starting my own business and this motivates me. props to this driven entrepreneur and great video, interviewing, and editing 👌🏾
Thank you for watching Muhammad and we really appreciate the feedback. 😀 You'll do great with your business journey just stay consistent and make sure to find time for your craft each day rather its just 30 minutes. Are you looking to start the same type of business?
This video is great. Exceeded my expectations. Serious operation right here. Super motivating and informative
Why thank you Pancakes! Glad you feel motivated!😀💪That's our goal. What type of business should we have on the channel next?
Wow, you guys absolutely blew me away with this video, I've been thinking very hard lately about weather or not I should pull the trigger on a mobile detailing business and after this I think I'm going to do it, I was lacking confidence in quite a few aspects but this so clearly demonstrates how to do(or not do) it all. I'm just like this gentleman, I just can't work for other people. I was born an entrepreneur. Thanks a lot you guys and congratulations on getting to this point in your business, anyone with half a brain can see you have earned it!

Amazing detailer, but I’m also very very impressed with the questions! Had a few questions I couldn’t find the answer to and this guy just asks it for me! 😂👍
Great video! What an amazing entrepreneur. I'm impressed with his openness and his candid response. Thank you for sharing!
Only 1.3 million fews, that’s a lot but my gosh this information is so good and the questions bring out the true answers of starting a business!
I have had the issue of not know what to ask or getting lack luster responses to more specific questioning.
I love this!
Awesome video. Love car detailing I’ve learned a lot from UA-cam as well. I spend 3 hours just detailing my truck every other weekend. I’m interested in going mobile as well just find it hard for people to pay even 100+ in Chicago. It’s a very small percentage of ppl that’ll pay or care for their cars like that here in the Midwest
Definitely not true.just google detailers near you and ask them for their prices or check their sites and go from there
How’s the market there?
Same here, even people with luxury cars are not willing to pay so much for detailing theirs. Cheap car wash shops are the norm here.
Hes so honest and confident . without any hesitation , he is spitting out all the genuine information. You will definitely succeed bro . Love from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️✨
Thanks Garry! We appreciate the feedback and kind words! : ) Wishing you all the best
Such an impressive video. Alan is a rock star entrepreneur and the interviewer asked such great questions! Thank you!

I'm almost 50 and am finally starting my own business as a side hustle. Hope to "retire" from working for someone else by the time I'm 55. Every time I come across some whiny 20-something who complains about how "the system is rigged", I point them in the direction of people like Alan who is following in the steps of ambitious and focused entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey, Chris Gardner, and Madam C.J. Walker. Keep killing it, Alan. You're an inspiration to us all.
oprah is a child trafficker lol, nice
Honestly , this is the most informative and inspiring detailing video I’ve ever watched . Definitely Appreciate The Wisdom 🥇♾
Thank you! @UpFlip continues to do an incredible job at spotlighting entrepreneurs! We're glad that you found some gems in here!
This young business man is so open and informative, he is really knowledgeable.
The video is such an all rounder in what we could ask.
Thanks, @RiAnime! Really awesome to hear you enjoyed the video with Alan. What other questions would you have liked to ask him?
Great questions and interview! I found my passion and this young fella is very inspirational 😎
It takes so much dedication and effort to stay focused and continue learning. I started a mobile detailing business over a year ago and was not dedicated enough to expand once I thought I was earning enough/ doing a good enough job. It takes a lot but it looks like the pay off is worth it!
Thanks for watching Kazer. It does take a lot of dedication but staying consistent definitely makes a big difference. Congrats on starting your business. Sometimes it takes time to get it right but keep striving forward.😀 Are you still in this industry?

You can do it Elina! 💪 So glad you enjoyed the content. How long have you been into detailing?
Keep it up we been in mobile detailing business over 50 years and the first mobile detailing company in sc it is good money in the business I started when I was 8 years old we have 10 mobile units today out moving keep it up💪🏾
Very inspirational, thank you for that. What a great dude. Best of luck!
The thing i hated about doing mobile detailing was the money I left on the table. I’m in DFW so there’s a lot of traffic. The time it takes to setup/breakdown, traffic and time it takes to go to every location I left around 450 a day on the table vs doing it out of my garage. I can tell clients to drop off their vehicles the night before or early morning and then start on them around 6am. No extra money on a shop since I’m doing it from home. No money on gas, vehicles or extra insurance. I will be getting a shop down the line as we grow.
When it comes to tools get you a BLO AIR-S, Mytee extractor, McCulloch steamer, Koch Chemie chemicals and make sure you get microfiber wash. This guy is a genius in marketing. Gonna start taking his route
We appreciate the feedback Rezzo. These are some great ideas. Every business goes through a phase of learning and growing but as long as you keep going everything will work itself out. How long have you been in the detailing business?
@@UpFlip only a couple of months. Still learning and still growing
See to me that $450 on the table sounds like you need another crew out there to cover more surface.
@@CaBdosdos but that’s more money spent compared to what I can have at the house. Two more guys, another vehicle, insurance and gas. It adds up.
@@rezzo_6fn659 Yeah it does add up compared to the house set up. You'll just have different clients for each. Make sure to check the margins on shop ownership. This dude in the video was very smart to simply lease a space where his guys can operate maybe do something like that when you're ready.
I just love this channel!!!
Me too! Stocked to be a part of it !!
SO MUCH VALUE!!! Thank you. you ask all of the right questions.
Glad it was helpful Ryan. Thanks for the support. 😀Are you in the same type of industry?
I Detailed ever summer for 11 years . I really enjoyed it. Wished I would have pushed it full time.. small towns then all the sudden everyone does and does it way cheap so alot of people went that route. Lost some regulars .. I never really pushed it like I should have ..it's an awesome career. The enjoyment of seeing the end result is a cool feeling..
Very interesting, I run a company with about 100 employees, started it when I was 22 as well. But, the simplicity and clarity that this young guy has brought was very insightful even though I might be more “experienced” … great job!

Tip: If you have not branched out to this:
Try to do detailing for 18 wheelers within the Transportation/Trucking Industry. I have a company with over 200 trucks and we pay about $200-$300 USD to have our trucks detailed about 2-3 times a month depending on how fast our drivers switch trucks.
What would be the best way to find those companies?
We really appreciate you stopping by the channel and leaving such great feedback today Julius. It's wonderful to hear about the different options someone has to build up clientele in this industry. 😀 Do you believe a detailer would need a lot of different equipment if they chose to details trucks instead of cars?
per truck?
@@pezrose1623 no. 1 dollar a truck to clean them. Come on
@@BobbyB21_ I ain't laughed this good in a while
Wow congrats man!! Bravo! Get er' done! I want something like that! I make good money but im not my own boss. Gotta have gumption that ive always had. Its funny cause my car needs detailing badly right now but havent had the time to take it somewhere. Coming to the customer has to be huge in your business! Sets you apart for sure i would think?! Good luck man! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for both for making this interview possible. Im 19 in college but not sure if i want to keep going
So likely gross margins are ~60%, and operating margins are largely in his control, given he makes decisions around marketing, sales, admin costs.
Would be fascinating to see their P&L and balance sheet, to see what they're making on invested capital, and what they're reinvesting.
I’ve often thought about doing this business. Thanks guys 🔥

Big moves all the way. Appreciate it brother 😉
Thank you Lenny! Are you in the same industry?
Let’s get it!
You are an excellent interviewer. You asked the best questions possible. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video. What questions would you have liked to ask?
I’m very impressed. Young and very disciplined. Congrats bro
This dude definitely is going places. Much respect for him. My only critique is I kind of cringed at 18:47 when the person used a rag on dirt instead of power washing it off first. Im big into detailing my own vehicles so I know that doing that can cause swirls in the paint. Other than that I liked everything else.
Oh yeah, that’s a big error there. I’m not sure if it was for the camera to get a “dirt being wiped away shot”, but that wouldn’t happen on my car.
Do not think it was dirt. Very clean all around but just that spot? Nah
@@mrs.h4484 Im sorry if you don’t think that was dirt but it was in fact dirt😂 its clearly visible
Chances are most of the clients that request mobile detailing lease their vehicles. Usually have disposable income. If they’re really worried about their own ride they do it their self.
Yeah most of these mobile detailer don't really care about detail or doing things the right way, just turning a profit. It takes me an average of 4 hours to do a car by myself. I don't make much, and I can only do 1 car a day, but I do it right.
I will answer all questions down here in the comments! All links mentioned in video are inside of the Free Mini Course (first link in description) Thanks guys! 😊👍

Hey Mannheim is a pretty nice client
Where can I find the onboarding details?

Detailed cars from the age of 14 to 17 at a hand car wash I helped the owner start. Then work for Toyota for a year as head detailer and eventually became a Service Advisor. What I should have done is what Alan did. Or got into business with the first place I worked at as he went on to open 2 more places and now is about to retire and sell it. Nice work Alan!
Thank you buddy for this beautiful and informative video...lots of love and success ...
Another great video!! The host is asking all the genuine questions as if he’s doing it for himself and big thanks to Alan for sharing those details. Keep bringing these videos and keep motivating!!
