It already has for many! Several of us are united and taking matters into our own hands. We are contributing to each others businesses with solid marketing and sales systems that will continue to allow us to attract and maintain clients.
Any business, especially luxury based businesses such as detailing has and will be affected...for a few...this situation will not be all that bad...remember...the cream rises to the top!
I think if it was distributed between all the home owners to pay off or catch up on their mortgages, instead of everyone 18+, then maybe we can re-energize the economy....But it didnt pass anyway so what do you guys think will happen now? how will this affect our industry?
Not being in the business for a living, I would guess that there will be a slowdown. The local pros (some of which look to be in name only) seemed to generate the most business keeping the vehicles of realtors presentable. In my area, that realty business has dropped off a cliff. From what I read, discresionary spending, which auto detailing is for most, is drying up pretty fast. Higher gas prices (for mobile operators), water and enviromental restrictions, and soon likely higher insurance costs will not be helpful.
The survivors will be the ones offering the highest quality work...IMO
My English teacher had u write a response to what we would do with our share of $450,000. I just wrote that I would spend the entire amount on an ipod. I'll see what she says when she reads that. I guess that's why shes not a math teacher...

I fear we the people are going to get the stinky end of this deal...the politicians need to start listening to real business leaders.
People like Steve Wynn and others are speaking in line with the above plan...the last thing this country needs is our goverment taking over a bunch of bad paper...we can not seem to run the programs we already have in government hands...how will DC run this?
I spent this morning sending this plan to all of our Congressmen and Senators alike...I doubt it will do much but I felt a need to take action...I hope others are doing the same...if you own a detailing business...or any business...you should be taking action!
This plan makes so much sense....Its unfortunate that they probably will still do things the hard way no matter what sensible plan lands on their desk...
