Today, we sit down with a local entrepreneur out of Anaheim, Ca working on a personal goal of making every car in anaheim clean. Quite a goal, so we wanted to sit down with Steve and learn more about him. This post is apart of our ongoing series highlighting local businesses in the Orange County area.

So tell me about your business

I’m Steve, and I run Anaheim Car Detailing which is a local car detailing service in Anaheim Ca. I decided to start a car detailing company because I had been working with a detailing company in Santa Barbara but had to move. When I moved, I decided to start up my own business once i bought my own supplies.

When did it start? What year?

Steve: I started officially in 2016, but started in Anaheim in early 2018

What was it that made you want to start this business?

Steve: I really like working with cars and wanted to keep doing this in Orange County because I heard the market was good. We made the decision to serve anaheim for that reason, and so far it’s been working out. 

What was the toughest thing you went through when you got started?

Steve: I’d say it was probably getting used to the OC market versus Santa Barbara, which is kinda what I was taught. I ended up learning the markets are very similar (go figure!) and then decided reaching out to people I was meeting in the area. It kinda went from there.

If you had to start over from day 1 again, what would you do differently and why?

Steve: If I had to start over again, I’d probably buy advertising first thing. I feel like that could have helped me out at the time, and If I was a little more aggressive with some of that early marketing, I think the transition would have been smoother.

What is the toughest part of running a business in 2019?

Steve: Right now, it’s managing everything that needs to get done for me. Thats kind of universal among most business owners, but it’s still a big thing I focus on.

If a customer was to choose your business, over 3 others, why should they try you?

Steve: I’d say you should pick us because I have a deep passion for cars, we offer quick turn around times, and we also do discounts!

What is the #1 way you've been bringing in new customers?

Steve: We’ve mainly been bringing in clients through referrals and social media. I think I want to try adwords or facebook ads soon, and maybe experiment with more social media.

Has the internet played a large part in your business?

Steve: It certainly has.
