call it "Dirt Pick"
nah?
In all seriousness, use your own name.
In a lot of businesses, people use fancy, jargon names. There is something that can be said about using your name on the door of the business.
This is who you are. Your are so proud of the work you do and so willing to stand behind it that you put your name on it.
"Hi and welcome to Brad J Huffinstuuf Detailing where I treat your truck like it was my own"
compared to:
Welcome to Autodetail Co. Please take a number and one of our fine ex-cons will try not to mix up the microfiber and 40 grit when buffing your car"
Same goes with ad agencies, construction contractors, landscapers, automakers etc. It's who you are and no one can take that away from you.

You know guys, I really like the incoming ideas but, I think I'm leaning towards something a little on the 'classy' side. I'd go with my name but, with a LARGE Chevrolet dealership very near by with a poor reputation (from what I can gather), I don't think I want to make a big run with that. I get asked enough if I'm associated with them...
With that in mind, I'm thinking with Boss as "The Ultimate Detail" or "The Final Detail".
What do you all think?

I would agree.................. especially if you want to capture a bit of the "high end" market. Trust me, the high end people like to think they are getting the absolute BEST!!!!!!!!!!! Words like "finest", "ultimate", "pinnacle", "supreme", "premium" and words like that will catch their attention. Then, you can offer various levels of details and call them something like............. Platinum (the works), Gold (almost the works), Silver (maybe light polish and wax), and the Bronze (pretty much a wash and wax).
Just a thought.
P.S. We used that kind of marketing approach many years ago........... worked pretty well then........... should still be good!

Thanks for the insight Boss... I like the way you think on this stuff...
I'm pushing the pause button on getting some business cards together though as a job change may be in my immediate future. That change would require relocation to a different city within Kentucky. I should know more about this opportunity this coming week... hopfully.
