Established Mobile Detailing & Ceramic Coating Business — North Pittsburgh Suburbs Profitable, owner-built mobile detailing and ceramic coating operation serving Cranberry Township, Wexford, Warrendale and the surrounding North Hills communities — one of the highest-income, fastest-growing markets in western Pennsylvania. Founded in 2024, the business has grown from startup to approximately $79,000 in trailing twelve-month revenue with a trained crew, an outsourced lead generation system, and a 4.9-star reputation across 50+ Google reviews.
WHAT'S INCLUDED Fully equipped service van with self-contained water tank, generator, and deionized water system — operates without customer water or power access Dual-action and rotary polishers, pressure washer, extractor, complete hand tool set Current inventory of professional-grade chemicals and ceramic coating product Customer database and full service history Google Business Profile, review history, business phone number, and brand Complete SOP documentation for every service and operational process MARKETING TRANSFERS WITH THE BUSINESS Lead generation runs through a Meta advertising campaign managed by an independent contractor at $1,000/month plus approximately $750/month in ad spend. The contractor has committed in writing to continue under new ownership at current rates. Inbound leads are qualified automatically by a conversational AI system before any human contact.
Qualified leads are booked into a shared google calendar with automated confirmation and 48-hour reminder texts. A $50 deposit — applied to the final balance, refundable up to 48 hours before the appointment — has materially reduced no-shows and late cancellations. A new owner inherits a working lead engine, not a phone number.
SERVICES & STAFF Interior, exterior, and full detailing; multi-stage paint correction; and ceramic coating application, which carries the highest margins in the business. The crew includes a tenured full-time detailer and a part-time technician trained in paint correction. Work is performed at customer residences, and the business has completed on-site commercial work at client business facilities.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES The business currently operates roughly eight months per year (March through November) with no indoor facility. A buyer with heated shop space has a clear path to year-round revenue. Additional untapped levers: Fleet and commercial accounts — currently limited by crew capacity, not demand Recurring revenue through ceramic coating maintenance programs Google Local Services Ads, not yet run at scale Weekend capacity — the current crew fills Monday through Friday with only occasional Saturday bookings A second service unit to double daily capacity in a market where lead flow already exceeds what one crew can serve WHY IT'S FOR SALE One owner is a senior full time college student getting increasingly more busy with work/internships while the other owner has been hired as a full time plane flight instructor as he's working towards his commercial license.
The business is profitable and operating normally. TRANSITION Up to 30 days of transition support included: customer introductions, walkthrough of booking and CRM systems, marketing contractor handoff, and hands-on training in the ceramic coating and paint correction process. No real estate, no facility lease, no long-term contracts.
Clean books maintained in QuickBooks; tax returns and financials available to qualified buyers under NDA. Serious inquiries only. NDA required prior to disclosure of business identity and financial detail.
