Arrow Business name help needed - 01-15-2006, 08:14 PM

Alright. I'm having a difficult time coming up with a business name. I thought it wouldn't be as stressful as it has been. So, I need your help.

Type of business- Detailing of course....mobile

I'm in Texas. No Lonestar Detail, Texas Detail, ect.....
Maybe something not TOO LONG. Something with a bite to it. I dunno.
Possibly a slogan too.

I know the 'unique' minds here will pull something out of the dark.
I'll let this go til next week, next Sunday-ish.
I WILL ALSO BE DOING THIS ON ANOTHER FORUM I FREQUENT. I will take the best name from here, and the best from 'there' and the winner will recieve $10 Paypal . I know it's not alot, but hey...money is money.

Thanks in advance

Any questions? just ask...... :beer_smil

Suds on the Run... Thats the name of my business, You can use it if you want....

Then you have

Wide Open Detailing
Slip & Slide Detailing
Gifted Hands Detailing
Keep It Clean Detailing
On The Spot Detailing
Bucket Of Suds Detailing

You could always go with your first name, Dave's or Jimmy's. I'm sure you rather have something more creative.

LMAO...I actually thought of On The Spot Detailing today. And that little Red Spot from the Old 7-UP commercials came to mind. :stuart:

And about using my name, I actually thought about using my last name..... "Worth Detailing" Kinda has 2 meanings there if you think anout it....

Unless you are setting up an LLC or something, then the name doesn't really matter much. I went under a couple names until I finally settled on OCDetails. When I take OCDetails to the next step then I'll register it with the state as a DBA. I don't do enough business under that name these days to get any tax advantage of an LLC or anything like that. I went under ProAuto Detail for years before I switched.

OK this is going to be really cheezy, but I assume "TexasTB" means you drive a TrailBlazer? And is it the vehicle you're going to be using for your "mobile rig"??

You could call yourself "Blazin' Fast Details" or something..... "Texas Trails Detailing".... I dunno.
