Built for Automotive Businesses

Consistent presentation without unnecessary complexity.

Dealer and commercial accounts need a practical workflow, clear communication, and vehicles prepared to an agreed standard. Firestone focuses on repeatable service while preserving the flexibility to address vehicles that arrive in heavier-than-normal condition.

01

Inventory presentation

Prepare used vehicles, trade-ins, and customer-facing inventory for the lot, photography, test drives, or delivery.

02

Owner-led accountability

Donnie remains directly involved in account communication, service expectations, and quality control.

03

Flexible service scope

Accounts can be structured around full details, interior or exterior work, special-condition vehicles, or recurring needs.

04

Practical workflow

Shop-based service is the primary model. On-site or mobile arrangements may be discussed when the location, volume, utilities, and schedule make sense.

Common Dealer Account Services

Vehicle preparation based on inventory needs.

The exact account scope can be adjusted by vehicle type, expected condition, desired finish, and monthly volume.

How an Account Is Structured

A simple process before recurring work begins.

1

Discuss the operation

Firestone learns the vehicle types, typical condition, volume, location, current workflow, and presentation standard.

2

Define the service scope

The account identifies what is included, which vehicles require approval for extra work, and how exceptions will be handled.

3

Confirm pricing and logistics

Pricing, drop-off or pickup arrangements, on-site feasibility, communication, and invoicing expectations are reviewed.

4

Begin with a trial workflow

A small initial group of vehicles can help confirm the standard, timing, communication, and fit before expanding the account.

Pricing and Capacity

Account pricing should match the real workload.

Dealership pricing is discussed according to expected monthly volume, vehicle size, average condition, service scope, location, turnaround expectations, and any transportation or on-site needs.

Vehicles with unusually heavy stains, pet hair, odors, mold, excessive debris, paint damage, or restoration needs should be identified before work begins so additional labor can be approved.

Firestone does not promise unlimited volume or unrealistic turnaround times. Capacity is reviewed honestly so the account can receive a consistent result.

Experience and Accountability

Professional detailing experience dating to 1999.

Donnie Ham began working as a professional detailer at Wilburn Auto Body Shop in Gastonia in 1999. He officially opened Firestone Auto Detail in 2005 and has since worked with both retail customers and dealership accounts.
