    Detail Me Mine

    Mobile on-demand detailing with exceptional value & performance

     

     

    “Shop value not price”

  • Auto detailing St. Joseph and surrounding areas

    Welcome to auto detailing for St Joseph and surrounding areas where I want to help you become an informed and educated consumer. I believe that people that are informed put themselves in a better position to make a decision but also become better customers. As I am operating Detail Me Mine on a win/win concept (which is being borrowed from Darren Priest) beginning that process will take my part in helping you make informed decisions as well as building a strong trust foundation between me and you.

    “Show me state”

    St. Joseph is a historic town in the state of Missouri, which has the slogan of the show me state. Show me state can mean so many different things, but surely it can be used regarding to detailing. Since detailing is all about the details there is no doubt that “SHOW ME the details” applies. Here in St. Joseph there are a handful of auto detailing services, they all have the opportunity to be equal but life has it that “not all things are created equally”.

    The Detail Me Mine difference

    Auto detailing in St. Joseph and surrounding areas means providing detail service that simplifies your world rather than complicating it. Everyone leads busy lives and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The convenience of a mobile detailing service is practically cut and dry. However what isn’t clear cut is, who are we going to trust with our vehicles in the choice of professional detailing services. Without trust there is no relationship that can be initiated let alone grow into something that is valued.

     

    Service that delivers trust

    •Communication that builds trust

    •Consistency that retains trust

    Trust in the core

    Everyone can make promises, but to follow through with them is what makes or breaks an engaged relationship of any kind. As trust is the critical “core of the apple” to make it sprout and grow, so it the same in detailing, and that is at the core of my business.

     

    Exceptional products and tools that deliver exceptional results!

    Exceptional techniques that deliver exceptional value!

    •Service that produces less life interruptions for you!

    Auto detailing in St. Joseph and surrounding area:

    Discerning eyes

    I will be honest right now, if you are price shopping and use only a number figure to determine the quality and the value of a service we may not be the best match for each other. I value delivering realistic results to realistic people with realistic expectations. I am the detailer you go to when you want it done right the first time, every single time!

    My ideal customer would be someone who places a high value on their time, wants to maintain the value of their vehicles as much as possible, want their lives to be more seamless with minimized interruptions. If you feel you match even one of those values, then perhaps we are a great match in auto detailing of St. Joseph and surrounding areas. Whenever you are ready, call me on my direct number and we will discuss the specific needs and expectations of your world in a friendly, open, honest way, after all it is your world.

  • What are you trying to achieve?

    One might ask how such a question could have anything to do with detailing, when the answer should be obvious, right? Wrong. When it comes to achieving something it is common knowledge that there are many steps that must be taken in order to get to the “achieved”.

    Value driven exceptional mobile detailing in St. Joseph and surrounding areas

     

    Now comes a term, mobile detailing. There is no more need to make special time for you to detail or clean your vehicle. This, to many, means you can spend more time doing the things you need to do while having the peace of mind about the condition of your vehicle and the numerous materials it consists of. Knowing that your vehicle is being brought back to its best possible condition in a location that works for you.

     

    At your home, office location, runway, boat dock, storage facility, apartment complex, farm house, you name it. If a car can access the location so can I. Mobile detailing is the pinnacle of detailing as it brings everything to you!

    What is detailing?

    There are not many that are actually in the know about the process and what it takes. I can relate to that when I first started.

    You see detailing is an extremely broad term that has been used to categorize the art and science of cleaning. It is a process that takes collected patience, proper plan of attack, and discipline to keep on going consistently. In the world of detailers a large amount of them are not meticulous, disciplined or patient enough to deliver an exceptional result. But are more than happy to charge for what they call a detail. Leaving you with an impression of a good job when you yourself know very little about “detailing” specifics.

     

    The eye for detail is a trained characteristic for a detailer. You can “detail” hundreds of cars a week but if you’re doing it like a machine, going through the motions, you’re not really training your eye. When it comes to training it has to be approached from a very open mind with some sort of emotional attachment (positive emotions work best). Not everyone can approach learning with that kind of perspective.

    “Communication REIGNS supreme”

    Now what could this possibly have to do anything with detailing?

     

    Great question! I’m happy to answer that....more than you can appreciate at this point in time.

     

    • Is the potential detailer asking you questions to help you make an informed decision?

     

    • Is the detailer helping you with the “appropriate” strategy to deliver the results to your vehicle that are based on you and your world, or are they attempting to lead you in the path of their own personal agenda?

     

    Communication is a huge part of any relationship whether personal or business. When it all comes to it, communication is hard and could be very frustrating, unless, you are speaking with someone that can properly communicate and help you gain insight about the type of service you are getting. Asking you questions that will create a seamless line of trust. Communication builds trust and trust builds relationships.

    One of my goals as a professional detailer is to help you understand the reality of the situation by managing your expectations to get results that are realistic for your world. Since after all it is your vehicle, it is your world.

     

    “All cars & their owners are unique”

    What is value?

    Have you ever asked yourself what is (fill in the blank) worth? Probably.

    How about: How useful is (fill in the blank) for this application? Maybe.

     

    A vehicle is a big investment, not only financially, but emotionally, morally and physically.

    Value is what you take into consideration when making an informed decision upon a service or product. An informed decision is a good decision. Value is then respected because when it comes down to it, if a product or service is going to bring a small benefit to you it becomes unworthy to be invested in. If it brings value to only the provider of that product or service it doesn’t hold much value for you as the end user, the customer.

    Exceptional performance mobile detailing in St. Joseph

     

    There is nothing better than hearing “wow” when a customer sees their vehicle come back to life after being detailed. The moment that happens it’s like falling in love with your vehicle all over again! What a feeling to be had. I’m sure you remember when you first bought your vehicle, all the things that drew you to buy it, the smell, the touch, the appearance. All the thoughts you developed in order to make your purchase had a lot to do with emotion. Ask me how I know!

     

    As it has been said:

                 “Vehicles are people too!”

    Which couldn’t be more true. As vehicles are designed and created by people, with people and their interests in mind, and finally bought by people.

     

    Have you ever wondered why you were so drawn to that shiny black paint? Or the smell of the interior? Or the shapely body contours? These are all qualities I like to call “unorganically organic” which basically means they are people too. Because just like people they have their unique character.

    Detailing to a T

    My passion and love for vehicles of all kinds and my obsession with their clean appearance inside an out has allowed me to create a mobile on-demand detailing business that is focused on providing the kind of results people want. Detailing does not stop at a great detail, to me “the whole experience” the intangible variables are what create a lasting impression.

     

    Auto: daily drivers, luxury, sport, semi truck, classics, etc.

    Boat: electric, fishing, power boats, etc.

    RV: 5th wheel, diesel pushers, etc.

    Motorcycle/ATV: daily drivers, weekend toys

    Airplane: single prop to business jet

    Farm equipment 

    Fleet vehicles

     

    With my experience there isn't anything that I wouldn’t want to try. My goal is to provide realistic results in a realistic world. Anything from your basic entry level detail to a complete restoration.

    “It’s all in the details”

     

    Do you place a high value on your time...

     

    Have an eye for the details....

     

    Want to maintain the value and beauty of your vehicle...

     

    Want an experience that is open and honest...

     

    Understand that value is much more than just a dollar amount....

     

    “Then allow me to be your go-to vehicle detailer”

     

    • I want to deliver service in a candid and honest way that will help to form the proper relationship.

    • Valuing your time by being on time.

    •Courtesy calls the night before to confirm scheduled appointment.

    • Conducting myself professionally in every way possible.

    • The integrity to turn down a job if it is not a win/win for both of us.

     

    So call me directly and we will discuss your detailing needs. I can show you first hand the difference I bring to this business as a professional, who knows there is much more to “detailing” than claiming the best products and best techniques.

    If you are strictly shopping by price only, there is a chance we aren’t right for you. If you shop for quality, value, and price at the same time it is likely we are right for you! If you are unsure of where to draw the lines then visit my information & education page to become a better informed customer and vehicle owner by learning the difference between cost and value.

     

     

    Igor’s way of approach

    Although technology has grown in today’s day and age, I personally believe in a tried and true, honest, and direct way of communication. There is a lot of information on my website for you to make the best informed decision for your auto detailing needs, I still welcome your direct phone call or message through my Facebook page(the link is found on the very first page in the blue circle with the lowercase f).

     

    “I look forward to helping you answer any questions and achieving any result you may have in mind, thank you!”

    IGOR’S NOTES:

    These are basic starting prices and do not reflect vehicles in need of extensive attention. These are very reasonable prices to begin with but obviously every car and owner is different so expectations and results will also be different. Results will be matched to customers real world expectations. Prices are subject to change according to vehicles actual interior/exterior condition.

     

    I have been called a perfectionist and have a picky and critical eye that I have acquired through experience and feedback, that will dissect many areas that I should say not many people will require or be able to tell the difference. It’s a way of saying “if you can’t appreciate it, see it or understand it then why pay the price.” This package will work for 97% of the customers out there. With the remaining 3% being those that have a hyper-critical eye like myself who will appreciate and demand the type of meticulous attention I can provide.

     

    I am a flexible person and at the end of it all I am not only working for you, but it is your money and it is the space in your world, and your vehicle. Upon my arrival on the scheduled date and time, we will spend the first moments together going over the vehicle to assess your top priorities along side your specific budget.

     

    With every car there are ways and areas on which one could save money, if you as the owner feel there are areas of less importance; one such area being the trunk. You may simply prefer to stick to an exact budget, allowing me to create the type of results to the best of my ability keeping your specific budget and areas of concern in mind.

     

    My goal is to create a relationship and trust on every possible level, and over-delivering seems to be the characteristic that aids in that process.

    ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO CONSIDER THAT WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON PRICING:

    Black car(as a previous owner of a black car I know first hand how incredible the paint looks when it is at its best condition, now to get it there takes much more work than white.)

    Fabric seats(as a rule fabric seats need more attention and thoroughness in order to achieve results compared to leather, may acquire additional fees)

    Pet hair(this can be a time burden depending on the actual type of dog hair and fabric)

    Smoking(smoke does increase the amount of time that it takes to adequately clean and deodorize the vehicles interior)

    Headliner deep-cleaning (headliner and sun visors are usually spot cleaned by rule, if your headliner or sunvisors are exceptionally dirty additional costs may be required)

    Excessive dirt( someone’s idea of clean is another’s description of filthy, excessive spills, staining, dirt will be noted and may require additional expenses)

    Convertible cars( if you actually drive with the top down the same dirt and dust that settles on your paint settles on the interior parts adding a higher level of dirt that requires cleaning in the interior detailing process. This may require additional cost)

    •Your car is older than 5 years

    •If your car has had application of greasy interior coatings which have now accumulated dust and grime which will require a more thorough cleaning process to remove

    SPECIAL NOTES

    Please take note of the additional information regarding detailing prices:

    •Convertibles add $10-20 to the noted prices. You ask why? Have you seen all the dirt that collects on your paint surface? That same thing is happening on the interior requiring a deeper more thorough clean as dust and dirt do not discriminate. This is a case by case judgement and will be determined over the phone and appointment.  

    CASH ONLY for first time customers, as we have yet to establish a relationship

    •Want to maximize your value with Detail Me Mine?! Run your car through a car wash or have it washed one or two days before our appointed time. Yes you understood that last sentence correctly. This way your payment goes towards what we do best which is professional detailing, not car washing. Any detail will require removal of surface dirt. This is not a requirement but merely a suggestion if you like to get the most out of your money with our service! In the end this saves you money and allows your money and Detail Me Mine to better work for you.

    Additional detailing services

    See the below list of services that are considered add ons to the afore mentioned pricing.

     

    Auto engine detailing

    Add $30-60 to degrease/detail your engine compartment. Take into consideration just like detailing itself, detailing the engine bay can be just a quick degrease of the surface and call it quits, or I can do a thorough cleaning not only of the engine itself but the surrounding areas.

     

    Paint correction/Enhancement

    Per quote

    Together we will dive into the details of what you are looking for in your paint. If you are unhappy with the way your vehicles paint currently looks paint correction is the only sure way to improve that. Of course removing contaminants and waxing the paint will improve its overall appearance and beauty but it will not removing the micro scratching, spider webbing, swirl marks, holograms, etc. For those with a critical eye, your paint can be raised to many new levels of perfection based on your requirements. Regardless of the reason, your vehicles paint can and will look better through our techniques. I am here to provide exceptional real world results that will be tailored to your vision, working along side your ideas and specific budget.

     

    Interior leather/fabric protection

    Add $30-60. A nano-technology protection agent that works on the nano scale. Applied to all surfaces that are leather/fabric, this will create a hydrophobic layer. This new formed layer will not change the appearance, textures, or feel of the coated surface but will repel dirt, grime and many liquids exceptionally well and aid in keeping your interior materials cleaner longer, until your next detail. Every vehicle and their accompanying owner have a unique vision of what they require to have their vehicle protected, whether it’s one seat or every square inch.

    Note: there has been a small residual smell after initial application which seems to fade within several days as the agent cures and bonds to the fibers of the interior fabric, we reccomend leaving your vehicles windows slightly cracked if local conditions permit.

     

    Sound isolator

    Starting at $250. We live in a four season climate here in The Midwest. The underbody of your vehicle is in constant battle with the outside elements, from rocks to road noise and everything in between. Anything that can be found on the road can make it underneath your vehicle. This process applies a rubberized coating that then dries into a harder rubber material that will provide an improved driving experience as road noise will be reduced with the added layer of protection. Some have claimed that this also aids against rust development, such claims are extraordinary but at the same time add peace of mind. This is ideal for the person looking for ways to protect their investement and add additional value to their vehicle.

    Emergency stain removal

    Starting at $10 depending on stain size, stain contents, location etc. I will come to you at the quickest convenience to eradicate a new/old stain or spill in your vehicle with realistic results. Not all stains are created equal and neither are the surfaces that are below them. Let’s talk to discuss the best plan of action for your particular situation.

     

    Vehicle debadging/decal removal

    Prices are based on size, condition of vehicle, condition of badge/decal, age of vehicle, etc. Every vehicle is unique in its own way and so are the badges and decals that are on them. Together we will decide what is the best approach and strategy to reach your desired results.

    Maintenance Detailing

    This is different than the traditional detailing service and will most definitely have different price points found at the top of this page. This service leaves your vehicle in showroom condition every single time that I will come out and perform my magic.

  • Becoming an informed and educated customer

    The world of detailing is driven with hype by people with less than exceptional skills and techniques. Detailing is a balancing act of 50% tangible skill & tools along with 50% intangible skill such as communication.

    broken image

    Detailing vehicles

    Detailing has been around as long as any vehicle has been around. For many uninformed, detailing is just an overinflated term that is basically washing and vacuuming. But for many more people detailing is a meticulous process of washing, waxing, polishing, deep cleaning, shampooing a vehicles exterior and interior. Detailing can be performed to restore the lost value and beauty of a vehicle, or as part of a maintenance program that is highly recommended. Just like you change the oil in your vehicle or put in new fresh fuel, a detail is like that fresh oil or fuel to your interior or exterior. It’s invigorating, and prevents premature wear; as a dirty material will wear out quicker than a clean material.

     

    “Show me the details” 

     

    Vehicle detailing will serve the basic cosmetic requirements that your vehicle needs such as washing and waxing but also for those who have higher levels of expectations in the way their cars are kept and maintained. As people, I know we are often encouraged to not sweat the details, and to not overthink things. Detailing is not one of those areas, this is where scrutiny is a must! Vehicles are a combination of many different materials with each one having different criteria for care. The interior and exterior require two different ways of care.

     

    “The difference is always about the details

     

    From door jams to head rests, from clean paint to ventilation vents, to clean floorboards and headliners. Detailing vehicles is all about getting the details right. The process of deep cleaning, shampooing, washing, waxing, your cars health is maintained. Just like the mechanical side of your car would need to be maintained to get the most value out of the car the same principals apply to the paint and interior materials of your car. All that happens through the process of detailing.

    Shopping value with car detailing in St. Joseph and surrounding areas

     

    “Nowadays people seem to know the price of everything but their image and knowledge of value has diminished.”

     

     

    If you are already familiar with shopping value go ahead to my price page from the drop down menu.

     

    Intelligence with finances

    When it comes to money and finances, this is a field where our knowledge and understanding must expand and develop. Just like anything in life it takes the willingness and ability to learn.

     

    Wealthy people are the ones to teach us that they have become more knowledgeable in the field of money, wealth, personal development, etc; they have learned to make decisions based on value, not price alone. It is not suggesting that we don’t take price into consideration when determining the value of something, there are other considerations to make. People that don’t have exceptional financial stability tend to run around and shop price, and let that be the only factor to make their decision.

    Basically “We get what we pay for.”

    What you value may not be what the next person values. When it comes to finding a valuable detailing service in St. Joseph, Price is only a part of the final equation.

     

    Being involved in the auto detailing industry for quite some time has allowed me to observe, and learn from more experienced professional detailers. Most of the time the customers don’t know how to ask the right questions in order to get what they really want and or expect.

     

    “Time is money”

     

    Everyone is familiar with that above quote. The thing we as people rarely do is attach a value to our time.

     

    How much time are you willing to spend making special arrangements in order to get your vehicle detailed?

     

    Have you factored in the time it will take for you to drop off and pick up your vehicle from a fixed location detail shop?

     

    Have you considered the type of value a fixed location detail shop brings for your time?

    broken image

    Convenient, professional detailing service

     

    Convenience is valuable in the way that it allows you to continue with your schedule with minimal interruptions. It provides headache free, efficient, and professional service on-demand. That means whenever, wherever, however you need it. From a full detail to a spot clean and everything in between at your disposal right at your home,office, farm, you name it.

     

    Most people don’t realize that experience, products and techniques will be only about 50% of a detailers success, it takes that and high levels of developed discipline, patience and an “eagle eye” to achieve 100% success, not just the first time but each and every time.”

     

    Operating with the philosophy of communication and openness

     

    Ultimately communication is king. With communication comes trust, and trust is the foundation of any relationship.

    I am operating my business by putting myself in the customers shoes and deliver the service that I do not get in my own life on a consistent basis.

    From the first moment of our interaction, to being able to answer your questions in an open and honest way, I understand that I am not the perfect detailer for everyone.

     

    Like I’ve mentioned before, it’s not in many people’s knowledge base to ask all the right questions.

    Together I will help you determine if we are a good match, and make sure that our business relationship is a “win” for both of us.

    broken image

    If you are the type of person that already shops value then this all may be a repeat. By familiarizing yourself here you enter a group of people; the informed.

     

    Informed people always make a better decision when it comes down to it. Here at Detail Me Mine one of my goals is to help you become as informed as possible, along with that learning the intangibles of car detailing prices in St. Joseph and the surrounding area is no exception!
