Jimbo Balaam is the owner and operator of Jimbo’s Auto Detailing in Southern California. Over the past 7 years he has successfully built his business by providing his clients with exacting care and attention for their special vehicles. When he started his business he found plenty of on line information about detailing but very little about how to run a proper detailing business. Those skills he learned through hard work and effort. In addition to detailing Jimbo created The Auto Detailing Podcast podcast where he interviews successful detailers and business owners along with providing product information for other professionals in his field of automotive care.

I enjoyed Jimbo’s visit to CarsYeah. He is a humble young man, with a lot of drive and interest in growth. His bravery has made him start a successful business which is hard to do in today’s economy. I see him as someone others can look to in their desire to succeed on their own. I wish him the best in his car detailing business.
Great comments Beth. Jimbo’s an inspiring entrepreneur.
