Reason Selling
After six years building the business, the owner is ready for the next chapter. Sole owner with no other decision makers.
Facilities & Assets
Asset-light mobile model with no storefront or lease. The only fixed premises cost is a small storage unit (about $80/month) that transfers easily. Sale includes two equipped work vehicles (2017 and 2004) with onboard spot-free water and power, plus all detailing equipment (FF&E valued at about $25,000). Also included: website with service and booking pages, business phone number, Google profile with all five-star reviews, Instagram (about 1,800 followers), Facebook and YouTube accounts, and a professional photo and video library valued at $15,000 to $20,000. A local shop rents a detail bay per job when needed, with no monthly commitment. Equipment and vehicle upkeep runs about $1,500 to $2,000 per year. Supplies are sourced from a local detailing supply store on net-30 terms and online retailers.
Support & Training
Seller will provide two to three months of full-time training covering ride-alongs, every service line (maintenance washes, details, paint correction and ceramic coating), pricing, scheduling and booking, and supplier relationships. Seller will then stay on part-time for three to four months of hands-on support while the buyer takes over client work, followed by phone support for about a year. The seller knows all key clients personally and will make planned introductions to ensure a smooth handover.
Market & Competition
Serves a roughly 15-mile radius in an affluent Los Angeles County market, with clients skewed to high-income, time-poor households such as executives, the self-employed and public-safety professionals. The business commands premium pricing, reportedly the highest locally for maintenance washes. Barriers to entry are low and new one-person detailers appear often, but most do not last. This business wins on punctuality, proactive communication and consistent quality, backed by all five-star reviews and a large photo and video portfolio. Revenue base: about 60% recurring bi-weekly maintenance washes, 30% paint correction and ceramic coating, 10% details. Customer concentration exists across three relationship clusters and is disclosed after NDA.
Growth Opportunities
Open a retail bay or shop to capture paint protection film and window tint demand that existing clients already request ($5,000 to $7,000 per vehicle) and that the business currently turns away. Restart growth marketing: little has run in the past year and referrals have carried the business. Add fleet and dealership work using the model of the weekly fleet program launched in May 2026. Revisit pricing given the premium clientele (only one modest increase in eight months). Hire and train helpers so the owner can focus on sales and high-yield ceramic coating work.
Financing Options
Seller financing is available.Seller will carry up to 50% ($62,500), 5-10 yrs at 5-7%. Likely not SBA eligible.
