Hey everyone,
I’m 17 in Ontario and thinking about starting a small mobile car detailing / car washing business on weekends and after school to make some side income.
The idea would be simple, affordable detailing where I come to the customer’s house and do things like:
• Interior vacuum
• Wipe down / cleaning
• Windows
• Basic exterior wash
• Tire shine
• Maybe motorcycle cleaning too
I have access to a shared car with my parents sometimes, low startup budget, and I’d mainly be targeting local families, busy people, and older adults.
My goal would be around $1,000/month eventually, nothing crazy.
Be brutally honest:
Would this actually work in 2026?
What would make you trust a teen detailer?
What prices would be reasonable?
Biggest mistakes to avoid?
Would you personally hire a 17 year old for this?
Also, if anyone here has run a detailing business, what do you wish you knew when starting

Hey everyone,

I’m 17 and looking to get my first motorcycle. I’m trying to find a beginner friendly bike, preferably 400cc or under, in the $2,000 to $2,500 CAD range.

I’m located in Kingston and open to surrounding areas as well. Looking for something reliable and easy to learn on, preferably with a somewhat lower seat height, ideally under 31.5 inches.

Open to sport, naked, cruiser, or dual sport bikes. If anyone is thinking of selling their bike, or knows someone who is, please let me know.

Thanks!

Edit: Also want something lower in insurance as insurance is a bit high for me
