Questions, answered
How much does it cost to start a mobile detailing business?+
Most new mobile detailers can launch for $600–$1,500 in starter gear (pressure washer, foam cannon, vacuum, towels, chemicals) plus $50–$300 to register an LLC and $40–$80/month for general liability insurance. GlossyOS gives you the booking page, scheduling, and reminders free, so software isn't part of the startup cost.
Do I need a website to start?+
No. What you actually need is a Google Business Profile and a real, bookable page customers can share. GlossyOS gives every shop a free, SEO-ready profile at /b/your-shop — service menu, photos, reviews, online booking, and deposits — without building a website.
Do I need an LLC and insurance before my first job?+
Yes. A single-member LLC ($50–$300 to file) protects your personal assets, and $1M general liability insurance ($40–$80/month) covers paint damage and customer property. Both take a weekend to set up. Don't take a paid job without them.
How do I get my first 10 clients?+
Friends and family with a Google review trade, neighborhood Facebook groups and Nextdoor with before/after photos and your booking link, and 10 cold visits to apartment complexes, used car lots, and real-estate agents. Paid ads are not where new detailers should start.
