Re: Vehicles for mobile detailing ?

Here's my detailing vehicle:



(sorry I couldn't figure out how to get it larger)

anyways, I'm looking to trade it in, it's kinda tough to fit everything from a 12' by 12' tent, steam cleaner, vacuum hoses buckets and all my equipment and product.

Any suggestions on what to get. I'm trying to not go into too much debt by getting it, and am looking to get some type of wagon like a passat wagon or Subaru Outback. More space, but not too expensive and not ridiculous on the gas mileage. Does this sound like a reasonable option? I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions.

You may just consider a trailer. It's the most convenient. You can haul it with what your driving now and you can get a brand new trailer for about $2k. You wouldn't need a huge one. It's like having a mini garage to wheel around and it's free advertising once you put a logo on it.

I use a 2004 Chevy Silverado with a Utility bed. It works great other than the gas milage. I just got the trailer and it's for my Meguiars products supply company.

That set-up is amazing. Nice touch on the wheels BTW. How much did that trailer set you back? I'm probably doing the trailer route, but most likely just a 10'.

I would eventually like to get purchase a van. If I have to go to the customer than this is my Detailing rig.

I think the new Honda Element would make a great vehicle. The doors on the side are great and it's a cheap ride and gets good gas. The only thing is that it can't pull much weight (1500lbs). So you couldn't pull a boat or anything like that.
