A detail shop called lightning wash and wax left a card on my car and I was wondering if any one has heard of them or give me any insight on them. I called them up and they seem to be great guys, very passionate about what they do. I couldnt get him to get off the phone. Their prices are very competitve with the searching i have done. Located in the chicagoland of Illinois.
Makes NO difference where these people are located. Many trying to start a business or make some money will have cards or small flyers to place on windshields.
Question is are they listed in the phone book as a business or operating from a residence illegally.
Nothing wrong with being gung ho to do a job...most starting out are HUNGRY.
Sounds like someone trying to start their own business, they have a Craigslist listing: Western Chicagolands Priemer Detail Service (http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/aos/1408839087.html - broken link)
A friend of mine started out the same way, only he was doing cabinetry work. Most likely this person is unlicensed, does not have insurance, and does not plan on reporting any of this income on their taxes. If they were licensed and insured I would have expected them to indicate such on their flyer and Craigslist posting. If you consider using them, ask if they have any references or for more information about what their cleaning service is going to involve, what products they use, etc...
I dug a little more into it and decided to give them a try and man did they do a great job! I was really impressed with there service. We talked before hand and they told me what they are doing. They are a couple of young 20's guys starting up their own shop and doing this on the side until they can get a shop. Like i said before great work i would deffenatly recommend them to any one. Very cool guys and very helpful.
