Been looking around the internet and found a few companys that just set up a space in a car park and offer valets/exterior wash.

Is this legal? Do you need to have like a permit or something like that?

Any help would be great as I think it's a good idea.

i would imagine you would need at the least the permission from the owners of the car park. and i would imagine many other things also

[sawyersurfer88]

cant seem to fine anything about on the internet but prob just not looking hard enough.

Dont think thats legal at all mate, its private land for a start and i think you only have the right to park there, not set-up a temporary buisness lol

[sawyersurfer88]

but if you got permission from the supermarket themselves? only thing I can think of that you might need is a trading lisence?

don't know who to ask about it either

[Claireeyy]

I would think you would need the permission of the car park owner. are you thinking on doing this too?

[sawyersurfer88]

when I heard about the figures a company in Aberdeen are getting in a multi story car park I was seriuously thinkin of doing it lol

[marcusd]

well tescos by me do it but the bloke who does the washing has to pay tescos a certain amount to use the carparks.
plus i;d say u'd have to be insured for those just incase circumstances

[sawyersurfer88]

yeah I am insured for that sort of work already. Does he get quite a lot of business?

yeh the ones in aberdeen get 4 parking bays on the second floor. they always seem to be busy. wouldn't let them do my car though as i have never seen their method.

but at this time of year it would make a fortune.( £7 a car i think.)

[sawyersurfer88]

nah they use really bad products, I wouldnt use them either. There is a place in inverness charging £35 for an exterior wash only.

[Claireeyy]

Yeh i make sure i park on the third floor away from them lol
£35? do many people take up that offer? people who see their cars as cars wouldnt pay that much. would they?

[sawyersurfer88]

you wouldnt believe how many people use them its crazy. They have 4 workers each doing atleast 3 cars per hour. Using a sponge and only 1 bucket of water which isnt changed at all during the wash. People dont realise that letting them clean there car is doing more damage. and its an extra £5 to put in a sachet of wax in with the bucket lol

[marcusd]

u gotta think everyone who parks n tescos. single women older women these are the people who'll pay the £5 to wash exterior theres about 15-20 trolleys washings cars and none of them are short of 300quid a week i reckon

[sawyersurfer88]

yeah i know. If I was going to do it I would like to do it all legally and above board tho. Maybe just stick to detailing just now lol

[Claireeyy]

haha that's a rip off to the max. hmm there's plenty cars in the works car park gona go a bucket some water and fairy liquid and charge them £30 :) haha some people have no idea

[sawyersurfer88]

I wouldnt be suprised if they were using washing up liquid, probably not even fairy lol
