What is the most popular service you offer?

4. Our most popular service is our esteemed deep clean package. This provides our clientele with outstanding levels of cleanliness, attention to detail and value for money. The package is designed to bring your vehicle back to an ‘as new’ condition with all interior surfaces being carefully steam cleaned and disinfected. The exterior will undergo a full decontamination to ensure any nasty tar spots and road fallout contaminants are dealt with which is then finished with a 6 month wax coating on the paint and a 3 month window coating to ensure a flawless finish. A deep clean is required as a base to make you eligible for our maintenance scheme.

How did you get into the business?

5. Since a young age we both have been infatuated with cars and a passion for impeccable presentation with a hint of entrepreneurialism. We started off with a push bike and trailer at age 13 knocking on doors and offering our services to locals, with the aim to make a few pennies on the weekend. Our young business model faced lots of trials, tests and changes to shape what we offer to you today. We invested heavily into an intensive training course with some of the best detailers in the country. top of the range equipment is a must to ensure we provide the best quality service out there.

What is the weirdest thing you have been asked for are at OJ Valeting?

6. In a small village outside Hereford we were working on someone’s drive ceramic coating their vehicle when a neighbour mistook our bright yellow heavily branded valeting van for handymen and asked us to put up a light fitting in his home. We’ve also been asked to hoover somebody’s dog to save a trip to the groomers.

What is Herefordshire as a county to operate in?

7. As a county, Herefordshire is a delight to work in and around. Being such a tight knit community, outstanding reputation and word of mouth has gotten us far. Other local businesses supporting our journey and passion is key for us, it’s something that isn’t as prevalent in a big city. The rural muddy roads keep us busy too!

Anything else you would like to add?

8. We would like to thank those involved for the opportunity to share our story and hopefully inspire others to follow their passions and dreams just as we have done.
