Anyone interested in getting their lawns mowed and cars washed? (lol)
Hey guys so I'm a college student and am looking for a job this summer.
I was thinking of mowing peoples lawns and detailing cars for money this summer instead of getting a "real" job. Would anyone be interested in these services?
I was thinking of mowing a front lawn for 30-40 and include the back lawn for an extra 15-25.
Also thinking of washing and detailing cars.. wax, clay, wax wtc...
Trying to make about $1200 a month doing this. You guys think its possible?
Edit: Also: Would anyone pay to have their spark plugs changed on a subie? Ive done it on my GD Sti and it took about an hour. $75 labor sound fair..? Add on an extra 10 for oil change labor..

Need references if you are going to detail my car. And no, I am not kidding.
My lawn is ~9.5 acres, $40 is a deal! Again, not kidding, but in my area mowing in July is a $1K fine
(fire danger)
$1200 a month doing side jobs? Possible yes, likely no.
