We had the good fortune of connecting with Adonis Sandoval and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Adonis, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I wanted to do what I loved, and had a passion in, i was never the type to sit back and work for someone else. Iv always knew i wanted to own my very one Automotive Detail facility! My goal wasn’t just make it a place where you could get your vehicles detailed i wanted to build a brand!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
So at Vivant Auto Detail we handle all your automotive cosmetic needs from traditional professional detailing, Paint Protection Film, Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating, Wheel Repair, Vehicle Vinyl Wraps, Window tint, etc anything you could imagine if we can’t do it we have a guy that can! We handle primarily a lot of high end, exotic, and super cars! We set ourselves apart from others simply because we don’t focus on making a sale on our service/s 98% of our client base are considered friends we don’t do any advertising, websites it’s all word of mouth, mutual friends.
We are excited to be going strong and only getting stronger, we have successfully made it to our 3 year in business! Expanding our catalog of services to cater and better service our clients is super exciting too!
Iv made it this far by simply being transparent, humble, and overall being a good person offering great customer is key! Your work can be top notch but if the customer is not there it’s a wrap! It’s not a business without a customers. I like to be network a lot and meeting new people finding ways to help each other’s business’ grown before you know it’s a snowball effect it’s not easy by no means it can be very intimidating when being so new to a industry, also the doubting thoughts in your head that make you doubt you can’t do it. But keep your head up and keep pushing
Iv learned from my mentor don’t burn bridges in your industry no matter how upset they make you, business is business but also an art – Just know when not to walk on them and instead swim or go around
My brand is more than just another Automotive detail shop it’s a lifestyle we call it the “VIVANTLYFESTYLE” cool cars and integrity whatever you do never give up even with your mind tells you to quit follow your heart that’s where the real power is at!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Let me tell you about my favorite must go to restaurants located in Atlanta “Girl Diver” because the atmosphere is awesome little bit of everything their drinks from the bar wow! I will have my best friend talking about Atlanta and how we do it! Hiking mount Yonah to peek Georgias beautiful Mountain View’s!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Of course, My family has been my biggest support from cheering me on consistently telling me how great i am doing, and when times got time always told me to never back down! But also can’t forget my best friend and mentor Amanda Dunlop she has always been there for me! Lows and highs. She is the most successful business woman i know! She taught me everything i know about business! Helped me get through the tough mentally overwhelming stressful times that being a business owner can put on you. Anything and everything i needed she had a solution if not she knew someone that did! Wouldn’t be here without these people!
