Hey everyone, Gary here. I'm based out of the Boston area and building a premium mobile aircraft detailing operation targeting FBOs, private owners, and charter operators in the New England market.
I come from a business background, already have an LLC structure in place, and I'm treating this like a real operation from day one, not a side hustle.
Claire, a few questions for you:
1. Coming into a market where there's already an established operator, what's the fastest way to break in and differentiate on quality and positioning rather than price?
2. On the technical side, what would you prioritize learning first for someone just getting started in aviation detailing?
3. What's the one thing you wish you knew before your first FBO relationship that would have saved you the most time or money?
4. What chemicals, products, or equipment have made the biggest difference in the quality of your results?
5. What does your pricing look like across the board? From a single engine piston all the way up to a Citation X or Global, and how do you handle quick turns for charter operators?
6. What vehicle do you run for your operation? Van, trailer setup, something else? And what would you do differently if you were starting fresh today?
Appreciate the community and looking forward to building here.
