Guys if you're here first and for most thank you! Thank you for taking your time to explore my new page and my business . I intend to keep this blog updated a lot. May that be something special we have in the shop, products I want to talk about, or even just something fun to interact with you all. But first let me introduce myself and get to know each other.
My name is Felix and I am the owner and operator of this small shop in Elizabethton, TN. I have a beautiful wife and daughter who are my motivators in all of this and push me to make this business one of the best in the are. We offer multiple services primarily ceramic coatings and window tint, but also in shop detailing and mobile services .
My journey started summer of 2019 while I lived in Kingsport, TN. I drove a 2015 mustang in a beautiful Kona blue color. My passion slowly came while I started to wash and take care of my car. It was my first newish and decent looking vehicle and I wanted to learn to take care of it. Now I lived in a duplex so I had a shared driveway so washing vehicles in my drive way was a challenge. As time went by and I was getting more obsessed with detailing my car, I wanted to maybe do it as a side job to feed my new profound hobby. So I started my new side business .
Now before I get into the details of how the business journey begun my current job at the time was working in the Emergency department . I wasn't in love with my current career in the medical field and maybe that's what pushed me and really motivated me to really focus on this new detail journey. So here comes summer 2019.
Although now you see a more prosperous and successful business, it took a lot of work and struggles to get to this point. While still living in my small duplex I said why not let's get some friends to drop off their vehicles and detail for them. At the time it wasn't much but it was a start. My first vehicle came around and it was a Kia minivan. Completely trashed and as you would expect any minivan to be when you have multiple kids and a busy life. I remember spending 10 hours in the hot summer sun transforming the van . Sweat pouring down my back , drenched shirt but I was motivated. I charged $60 at the end of the day. Now some may say 10 hours and $60 that's nothing. Well to me it was about getting my name out and a $60-10 hour then job has now turned into a service people are happy to pay $1000 for a 10 hour job.
Days go by and my phone is now ringing and multiple inquiries . Turns out the owner of this minivan was so impressed she told all her church friends who then in return after getting their vehicles detailed, told all their friends. That cycle 4 years later almost is still running and because of those humbling beginnings we are here now .
I love to keep my shop small. I always say quality over quantity. I love to have a hands on with every car that comes by so I know their car was taken care of by me and I can guarantee 100% satisfaction. It's important for me to interact with every client that comes by so I can talk to them and at the end of their service theyre not just leaving a client but a friend.
I'll save some more juice for future blogs and our journey but I wanted to talk alittle about my self and my beginnings . I have many awesome stories to share ofmy detail journey to and I can't wait to share those soon!
