Yep, Valet them, De dog them, De hair grip them, De makeup them. minis are always either beautiful or caked in orange foundation. I go through about 20 bloody microfibres on each car. I have to do everything as you'll know so can be very difficult to buy. I spend a great deal of time on BCA website in the evenings and buy mainly from there online or Dealer Auction etc.. I go once a month to the local BCA in Nottm to the BMW/Mini sale and usually pick up 4/5 cars there. Get them delivered straight to my garage for prep and then here for valet after. I did 8 last week which was my best week ever - did 4 yesterday, was non stop from 9am till 5pm it was great. Got a little appointment in half hour too on a tradie but makes a decent amount too. I'm on for a record month again ( Hopefully ) but I am desperate for stock. My problem is i'm too picky.

I think that sounds like a very good deal!! I'll start next Monday!!

Worn steering wheels and... FLAT BATTERIES when you need to test drive something you haven't opened the door on in weeks! Why is it always that ONE car!!!

Ha ha, you actually made me Laugh out loud. I find i just do it. I have got a full valet down to about 1 1/2 hours. Mini's come up really well with a good clean. I try to do 2 at a time. i just stick to a structure when cleaning, I do everything the same way each time and stick to it, otherwise i get waylaid and sidetracked. i HATE cleaning cars too, so the faster its done, the better. usually first job if theres anything to do so its done and out the way for the day. I actually don't get that many enquiries ( Last week was 14 and did 8 deals ) so onyl a few a day to deal with and most of them want to come at the weekend so sat and sun are my selling days, try to make sure everything looks the nuts on a Friday before I go home. I get to work at 8.30 am and sometimes don't leave until 6.30/7 so i guess its just long hours. I usually leave a load of proxy bids the night before and then see what i end up with the following day, unless i get time to sit and watch the auction, however thats when its tempting to always go another few £££ over your proxy bid. I only have 8 cars in stock currently and they're all clean, so its only a case of cleaning as you go when you buy them, but I need 7/8 cars otherwise its going to be a very quiet few weeks!

Good on you mate keep it up.

WEASLES!

Too much hassle honestly........ They should pay the money into their bank and then pay by debit card or bank transfer. Let them explain to the bank & HMRC how they happened to come across £26k in cash.

When customers start your car and rev the absolute b*ll*cks from cold, does my nut in, what are they trying to achieve? Oh and then they walk off?
