mr kiper,

eto po advise ko. pls dont get offended pero i know maaapreciate mo mga business tips ko ( im now opeating an autoshop here in cavite which includes carwash kaya tulungan kita).

from the contents of the thread, it seems that nde mo pa alam ang pasikot sikot sa carwash ( even the basic of what are the right materials to use, etc. so i presume na pati right procedure hindi mo pa rin kabisado). sir never start the business unless u are very sure on what u are doing. masasayang lang lahat ng tools or equipment na binili mo or even yung efforts mo sa pag mamarket ng business kung unsure ka if you can not perform well yung service na ini-ooffer mo. this could be very costly and frustrating. dont believe duon sa sinasabi na " matutunan mo rin yan sa pagtagal-tagal" . of course this is partially true but why wait sa pagtagal tagal when you can exert first ur effort to study the correct procedures ( you can study this urself or hire someone who is knowlegable already or ask someone na may experience na) . bottomline here is that dont wait to learn from ur mistake ( some can be very costly baka mahirapan ka ng bumangon) when you can ask the help of other seasoned entrepreneurs on how to run a business like youre planning to set-up. im telling you this will bring you lesser headaches.

have u made a written business plan already? if not ur business will be doomed to fail. plan for at least 6 months on how u would like ur business to become after the said period. make financial projections and prepare a monthly budget which includes ur projected expenses/income ( baka ur losing money in the process of running ur business so why bother continue it di ba?). in this case, you know kung kikita ka, kumikita ka, or kikita ka.

Lastly, dont rely on a carwash service alone. while it is good to start ur business small, think on how you can augment ur income by selling other items related to ur service. for example tinda ka rin ng shampoo, or duster, or car cover or other accessories na related sa business mo ( ako personally ayoko i-mix yung mga items na pwede ko itinda kung nde masyado related sa main business line ko, for example makikita mo sa isang barbershop, " prepaid cards available here" ok din wala naman problema kaya lng if you want to make a niche sa market mo, concentrate ka muna sa 'main' product or service mo). but be cautious, never stock too much sa mga items na gusto mong itinda or even sa mga ginagamit mo sa carwash. why? kasi baka nde mag-click agad so try to test the water first ika nga, or may lumabas na better brand ( as in better talaga at nde claims lang) na hahanapin ng tao, you'll be soory na all you can sell eh yung mga items mo na pinipilit mo lang itinda kasi ang dami mo pang stock.

pahabol pa pala, never ever get tired of record keeping. this is very important. yung inventory mo, yung kinita mo for the day, yung binayaran mo kahapon, etc. etc. list it all down para makita mo kung saan napupunta pera mo or magkano kinikita mo, a day's worth of problem is easier to remedy than a week long of headache.

ang haba na ba ng sermon ko? sige coffee break muna ako...

**kiper** · June 3rd, 2003 04:03 AM

pakisagutan mo na lang lahat ng tanong ko from the start ng thread...:D

thankyou..!!:evil:

**pajerokid** · June 3rd, 2003 04:17 AM

OKOKOKOK!!!!

First off, you can get cheap pressure washers from Soler St in Binondo.

Vaccum should be wet/dry. Ok yung sa PriceSmart.

Yung business registration pareho lang with any business

Since Libre lote, excellent!

Yung shampoo and tire black is procured from private sources, dont use commercially availabe stuff kasi mahal.

ETO PINAKA IMPORTANTE.... YUNG TAO MO!!!!!!

Meron dito kasi, per car ang bayad, meron naman daily wage earner. Kung ano pa-seldo ng competition mo, i suggest yun gayahin mo.

ano pa ba? Its also important to have a lot of PR and have that extra something to give you the edge. Suggestion ko sa pinsan ko is to blow dry the car using an air compressor (which i do with mine when i clean it). It would also be nice to have some seats or better yet a lounge type area where your customers can sit.

Dont bother with ENGINE WASH!!! Maraming kotse na umaandar with dirt, na if you remove the dirt hindi na aandar! Sounds funny but im not kidding.

dami pa.... antok na ako!

**kiper** · June 3rd, 2003 01:28 PM

pajerokid,

ganyan na ganyan nga ang iniisip ko..!!

tao..meron tuturuan ko na lang.

pano nga pala magandang swelduhan? porsyentuhan? or fixed pero mababa lang..

PR..madali lang yan..i'll employ one of my cute barkada..sya na bahala mambola sa mga katulad niyong manyak..ehehe..

engine wash..waxing..sinabi mo pa..wala pa akong balak gawin to..basic body wash lang muna. alam ko ung sa engine wash..baka masira ko pa ung makina sa sobrang dumi..hindi na aandar..ehehe..di pa naman ako marunong sa engine..:mrgreen:

salamat..!!
