Satisfied with what you got

We have just got our steam cleaner back from a annual tune up and some other new tricks to pull out of the hat to make those water marks and coffee stains in your sport seating go away for good. Your car driving away clean will make you feel more successful and enjoy your investment. Instead of feeling like your car is falling apart and you've wasted your money. Honestly with my 98 Chevy I've owned for 12 years now- keeping it clean and in top shape really saves me money. Some times when I see a newer truck I get the fever... It's hard to understand that impulsive desire instilled in us by all the advertising and good deals on a car we don't have. If you pay close attention to your feelings and keep a tight grip on what you already have you will soon realize its not a new car that brings happiness but stability with less spending and drama. You will notice too that when shopping for a different car you get this gripping feeling once at a dealership that if you don't buy that vehicle today its the last good deal you'll find... do you really think so because next week when you buy it you'll notice another truck or car that really fits the need better and a better price tag attached. A salesmans job in any line of business is to paint you a picture that what you don't have will bring satisfaction and happiness. - NOT TRUE!! Success and happiness is found before you pursue your next goal whatever that may be. If you don't place this in proper order you will lead an unfulfilled and empty life. You may not even be aware of this state of mind because one can become accustomed to habit of always spending or having to go to the next event or get your next fix living for the weekend as some songs are written. What about today I love today as even I have to work. It's sad it took the first 10 years of my married life to see it this way. Now I will not look back and regret the past anymore... if I do I will miss out on today. Its called peace. The only way to find this stability and peace is Put God first, then your family and there needs and God will fill your needs with out you even trying to do it. See when we live for others then Gods in control and I don't have to look for my next blessing or purchase to make me happy He wants to give me good gifts. But if I put me first like so many people say then I look for my own satisfaction, selfish is the word.

What's this?

I've got some big news. I recently landed a new location tinting out of a good friend of mine store front. He operates a first class auto glass and spray-on bed liner store in East Wenatchee. We instantly hit it off like old time business partners and are now able to service the Wenatchee valley with quality window film installs. I plan to work there 1 or 2 days a week and back at my store here in Omak the rest. Jason and Tony will keep the detail shop hopping with steam cleaners and polishers while I am out on the town. I plan to be in my shop Wed. through Fri. as if you need my specific talent for a special project. I will be able to be reached by my regular phone # posted on our signs. Don't hesitate to call me and I can assist you with any appointment needs or questions about detailing or tinting. Jason has come so far this last year with attending the Air Force One detailing project that he is ready to deliver any level of service our clients would require. Here are some pics of one of the tints I did last week, also this is the mobile van Jr. uses to run out take care of your needs for auto or house glass. If you need a good price and quality install. Call me or email either one and we can get you hooked up. Jr. email is discount@nwi.net

It has been awhile since I have updated my work here on this page I see. I thought that Dec. would be a slower month giving me time to take care of all this stuff including "a writing my business plan for 2012". Well I will not let that one pass me as that is a must do for me, and right now its getting all the work done that we've committed our week to. Yesterday was a milestone for me and Shine and Shade as we made our goals set for our projected income in 2011. Also we detailed some very nice older trucks and cars to make a nice day out of it.

Winter time detailing. I've been thinking about my prices for this winter. If there's less work one would think that going down in price would bring in more work right? Maybe if your client is shopping price. But I'm thinking quality and convenience. If I have less volume in the coming months I have to go up in price to offset my overhead cost. 2 reasons... 1 is We have a heating bill and run more lights through the winter, 2 is your car is now dirtier and it is too cold to wash it outside. Actually our over head is more in the winter than the summer as you can see with higher bills. The one benefit to getting your car in now is we can protect an preserve your car's exterior as well as the interior. We give you as a consumer extra value during these months like paint sealants and fabric protection at very little extra cost. + we have more time to spend with your car with fewer interruptions during the day. Come by get your car an express wash and have some coffee and read the paper right here in our showroom. Enjoy the winter this year without feeling like your mistreating your car.

Wow Today we are working on a classic Mercedes SL560 1989 model. It listed new in 89 for 65,000.00 this car is sweet even if its old and not that popular it is in mint condition. I feel like a kid in a candy store when one of these comes in. Also good things are happening like 15* this morning.. is that winter or what? My wife came in too so I got to eat lunch with the family. Was fun. Now its off to install some tint on a 96 Maxima. This car is old too but very nice. All the details under one roof right? I'm lovin it...
