An Auto Detailing Shop With An Ace Up Its Sleeve - Honolulu, HI

By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer

There’s an automotive detailing shop in Honolulu, Hawaii with an Ace up its sleeve. They’ve been in business for over 30 years and have a tremendous amount of skill and experience. They’re the number one mobile detailing service in Honolulu (and probably a lot further than that) and they pride themselves on taking your car from, as they say, “dull to dazzling.”

But this company is more than meets the eye. They have an ace up their sleeve. They have the BOHA award.

In 2009 Auto Detail Aces won the Best of Honolulu Award in the Automobile Detail & Clean-Up Service category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA). Check it out. Click here for the original press release at us-ca.org.

It raises your eyebrows a bit, doesn’t it? From a prestigious award of excellence to great customer service to a happy referral source, it’s that extra bit of confidence that helps someone make their decision as to where they want to take their vehicle. For the business, it’s the Ace in the hole.

The Story Of The Auto Repair Professor - Pleasant Hill, CA

By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer

Nestled between the rolling hills of Contra Costa County, California, seated in the flats of the Pleasant Hill / Concord basin begins the story of the auto repair professor…

Just kidding! Wrong tone for this tale, but it’s still a cool story…

It’s kind of a David and Goliath, or an underdogs vs champs story. In the auto repair world there’s the auto repair shops, and there’s the “almighty” dealers. Not exactly the Capulets and the Montagues, but you can see where the debate might begin; dealer vs shop.

There are pros and cons on both sides of the equation and typically both will plead their cases admirably. But in the end, the dealer often seems to profess a better technician, better service and thus, appropriately, a higher price. Conversely, the auto repair shop argues equal service at a more affordable price.

So who’s right? Who wins? Who’s the victor of this timeless debate?

I have no clue. But I do know one such tidbit that is particularly interesting…

Doug Mueller is an auto repair expert that’s been helping people in the Contra Costa area for a long time. And when I mean people I mean other auto repair experts. You see, he runs an automotive training program where he holds advanced classes for those looking to further develop their automotive skills and knowledge. With classroom sessions and hands on training he helps take technicians to the top of their potential.

Where it gets particularly interesting is he trains professional mechanics from dealerships. Local dealerships send him problems that their technicians can’t figure out. So if you think back to what each side is saying, something doesn’t quite add up. That’s all I’m saying!…

So if you have a tough problem that needs solving, you can either (a) take it to a dealer, or (b) you can take it to the professor.

It’s the lifeblood of your business. Even if your only form of advertising is you making cold calls, it’s still you’re advertising and you can’t stop. Many even increase their advertising to compensate.
