The Snot Box!
You Can't Miss a Bright Green Van...
Back in 2011, this was our entire marketing department.
One bright green van.
One footpath sign.

And a determination to make this new business work.

Back then we were called Affordable Car Groomers.
The personalised number plate already read A4DBLE, so the name seemed to fit perfectly.
Looking back now, I reckon the van probably did half the advertising for us.
You couldn't miss it!
(Some friends and family named this van "The Snot Box" I just couldn't figure that one out....)

The sign proudly read: Vehicle Grooming – From $45
Every customer mattered.
Every phone call was exciting.
Every booking gave me confidence that maybe this crazy idea just might work.

Today, things have changed.
The business has evolved.
The name has changed.
The systems have improved.

But one thing hasn't changed.....
The excitement of helping people build something of their own.
Every successful business has a first chapter.

This was ours.

Sometimes You’ve Just Got To Work With What You’ve Got

This photo was taken in 2011.

There I was, buffing a Ford Falcon XR6 while wearing Holden overalls.

For those who grew up in New Zealand and Australia, you’ll understand the problem immediately. 😄

Back then the Holden vs Ford rivalry was alive and well.

Looking at the photo now, I can only imagine what the Ford fans were thinking.

But when you’re building a business, you quickly learn something important.

The customer doesn’t care what logo is on your overalls.

They care about the result.

In those early days, I wasn’t worried about having the perfect equipment, the perfect vehicle or the perfect setup.

I was focused on doing a great job and looking after the customer.

That’s still good advice for anyone thinking about starting a business today.

You don’t need everything to be perfect before you begin.

You just need to begin.

The Fog Was Real... So Was The Uncertainty

This photo was taken in 2011.
A customer's car sitting in our driveway on a cold, foggy Hawke's Bay morning.
Back then there was no proven system. No owner/operators. No success stories to point to.
Just an idea, a willingness to work hard, and a belief that there had to be a better way than working for someone else.
Looking at this photo now, I can't help but smile.
The fog in the background is a bit like those early days.
I couldn't see very far ahead.

I didn't know what the business would become.
All I knew was that I was prepared to give it a go.

Every journey starts somewhere.
Ours started right here, in our driveway, on a foggy Hawke's Bay morning.

Sometimes one decision really can change your direction in life.

Long Game Thinking at Mobile Car Valet (NZ) Limited

Building a business is usually more about patience than speed. Most successful operators are not overnight success stories — they simply stayed in the game long enough, kept improving, and refused to give up when things temporarily slowed down.

“Not everyone wants to sit in traffic, answer to a boss, or spend life inside four walls.
That’s one reason Mobile Car Valet continues to attract people wanting to work for themselves.
We already have owner/operators in Napier and Hastings (and now a wait list for possible expansion) but there are still opportunities available in other NZ locations for the right people.
Sometimes the smallest idea becomes the biggest life change.”
