Potential
Currently turning away work due to full time study committments, including regular clients with potential to resume their business rapidly. Currently do not advertise at all, nor have signage and still have consistant inquiries from referrals. The business still is not known by many in the community with huge opportunity to gain new interest and work with a little marketing.

Hours
Currently operating at about 1 - 1.5 days per week with 2 workers, and very much room to scale.
Lease
No lease. Vehicle registration and business insurance only.
Employees
The business currently opperates best with 2 workers (Lead detailer and assistant)
Reason for Sale
Due to heavy study commitments and relocating to South Brisbane, I can’t run the business to its full potential. In fact, due to my time constraints, I've had to turn away new business and cancel regular clients. I’ve built a strong reputation in Samford with loyal clients and consistent referrals, and I’d love to see someone local continue serving the community in this way. This is a turnkey opportunity for a hands-on operator to grow a part-time income into a profitable small business.
About the Business
Included in sale:
- 2016 Mitsubishi Triton with mounted canopy
- Equipment (professional grade tools, enquire for details)
- Stock (eco-friendly car detailing products)
- Website (samfordecodetailing.com.au) and logo
- Full list of all past and regular clients
- On-the-job training and client continuity - I will work with you to show you all aspects of the business, secure existing regular clients, and help you gain quick wins with growing the base of regular clients
- Info pack (including past 12 months financials and growth projections)
The breakeven is currently around 1 day per week (with 2 detailers operating) - strong profit upside.
Clientele and point of difference:
Samford Eco Detailing is a highly regarded mobile car detailing business servicing Samford and surrounding regions. It delivers premium detailing services directly to clients’ homes or workplaces — a convenience valued by its time-poor, quality-focused clientele.
Operating just one day per week, the business has built a loyal base of high-income earners, professionals, and business owners. Most are environmentally conscious, and several live on rural properties, manage organic gardens, or keep horses.
What sets this business apart is its commitment to Australian-made, non-toxic, biodegradable detailing products. Unlike many operators in an industry crowded with harsh, silicone-based chemicals, this business strictly uses eco-conscious materials that are safe for gardens, animals, and the natural landscape — a major drawcard for its clientele.
Services include:
Maintenance Detailing ($180–$240)
Protection Detailing ($360–$480)
Specialty services for 4WDs, caravans, horse floats, and more
The business is run by a lead detailer and assistant, with strong systems for quality, customer service, and branding. Sale includes a 2016 Triton GLS dual cab (with fitted canopy), professional-grade equipment, consumables, website and domain, and full client and enquiry list. Transition training is available.
Ideal for someone who:
- Values health and environmentally-conscious practices and premium service standards
- Seeks lifestyle flexibility or growth potential
- Has detailing or trade experience and wants hands-on income
- Is customer-focused and values high-quality, ethical business delivery
- Not suitable for absentee owners — personal involvement is key to maintaining the brand’s reputation.
This is a values-aligned business with real community trust and room to grow.
History
I started the business for a part-time income while studying in 2023. I took a gap year in 2024 in which I grew my clientele substantially and the workflow increased to 2 - 3 days a week for 2 workers. I stepped back from all business promotion to focus on studies again in 2025 and have kept it running alongside at the maximum capacity I can handle. I regularly have new clients tell me that they wish they'd found me sooner and that there are many more looking for a service like mine in the area, so there is certainly even more opportunity.
