Mobile services remove the customer’s biggest friction: travel. Car detailing, bike servicing, furniture assembly and small home repairs can all be delivered at the client’s location with a compact toolkit.
Mobile detailing start-up
A basic package needs a pressure washer or waterless wash system, vacuum, microfibre cloths, polishes, brushes and a small power source. Realistic spend: €250–€400 including consumables. A full interior and exterior clean sells for €80–€180 depending on market and vehicle size.
Small repairs
Assembly, shelf mounting, curtain rails, door adjustments, sealing and minor plumbing attract homeowners who lack tools or confidence. A drill, level, stud finder, screw set and basic plumbing kit cost under €200. Charge a minimum call-out fee plus materials, and always quote before starting.
Operational rules
- Quote from photos. Ask for three pictures before agreeing a price.
- Protect the site. Use mats and cloths; one stain costs more than the job.
- Carry a simple contract. Scope, price, payment terms, and what is excluded.
- Do not take work you cannot finish. A missed appointment destroys local trust.
Finding customers
Park visibly while working and keep the vehicle clean. Local groups, neighbourhood apps and estate agents are strong channels. Offer a subscription for detailing every six weeks; recurring revenue is what turns a weekend hustle into a business.
Track fuel, consumables and travel time. A €120 job that costs €40 in driving and products is not a €120 job.
