Life & Work with Desmond Darby of Rock Hill

Today we’d like to introduce you to Desmond Darby.

Hi Desmond, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started my business back in 2016. I didn’t really take it serious until 2019 when Covid came into place. I started detailing out of a garage and was charging $35-$55 on some vehicles that were way bigger than me. I was working a full time job as a financial crimes specialist and I was doing this detailing business on the side to bring in extra income for me at the time. As I noticed the money was getting greater on the detailing side. I prayed and talk to God about it. Took a risk and decided to do it full time when I’m done working my 9-5 job I was fulfilling. I got a call and was laid off from my 9-5. So I decided to go full revamp and trust God in every aspect of my life. I got mentored by one of my best friends and he took me under his wings showed me the wrongs and rights of the business. I practice my craft each day and put more focus on what God wanted me to do in this field. Here we are 9 years later and all praise to the most high because he has never let me struggle.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s been a smooth road but it has been obstacles that stood in my way. One of the struggles was trying to keep customers and building clientele for my business. I had a lot of people in my ear tell me my business wouldn’t last. It discourage me but made me go harder because I know the God I serve. He put me in this field for a reason. So I know without a doubt I have a purpose in this field. He is going to guide me through and set my expectations how I wanted them too but in his way. Again, 9 years in this and I have touched so many vehicles that I can’t keep count. It’s amazing seeing people know you off your business and your work ethic. Getting references and opportunities from celebrities is a big blessing because I’m in rooms with people I do not know. They know me and my business. It’s just a blessing.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My name is Desmond Darby. I am a paint correction specialist and restoration specialist for vehicles. We do paint corrections, ceramic coatings, waxing, interior detailing, and much more. What I am most proud of is my business of how it grew in a little garage I was in to where my work is global. People call me all the time due to the amazing review off of Google listing and my Facebook listing I have for Done Right Auto Detailing LLC. What set me apart from others is that God is all in this business. I walk with God in this business everywhere I go and when I walk in a room. They can seem him on me and I get offered so much opportunity.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People can work with me or collaborate with me by giving me a call. Put in a 5 star Google review of my work ethic. Also, supporting me by sending clients my way that are looking for a great detailer who has attention to detail. Also, love what he does and giving good recommendations for that person vehicles.
