What to print first & why
Business cards first — every finished vehicle should leave with one tucked in the console, because “who did your detail?” is a question your customers get asked constantly. Second: a printed service menu. When your full-detail package, ceramic options, and maintenance plans are listed on paper with clear prices, customers upgrade themselves — nobody upsells better than a well-designed menu in your waiting area. Third: a vinyl banner facing the road, because drive-by traffic is your cheapest lead source. Round it out with die-cut stickers (your logo on a bumper is a rolling billboard) and door hangers for the neighborhoods where you want more customers.
What it actually costs
Business cards run $39.95/100, $44.95/250, $54.99/500 — enough to stock the front desk and every tech's pocket. Service menus are $189 for 250, so your detailing packages finally live somewhere besides your head. Vinyl banners: 2×6 $59, 3×6 $75, 3×8 $89 — the big one reads clearly from the road. Die-cut stickers: $139/250 or $219/500. Door hangers run $279 for 500, perfect for canvassing around the shop. Want to blanket whole neighborhoods? EDDM starts at $398 per route — printing and mailing included, roughly 400–800 homes. Shop tees from $9.40 each at 144. Shipping's included on all of it.
How it works
You've got cars on lifts — you don't have time for printing drama. Upload your file (even a rough one) and we run a free pro file check to flag anything that'd print badly: pixelated logos, wrong dimensions, colors that shift. Then you get a free digital proof so you see exactly what's coming before it exists. Nothing hits your card until you approve that proof. Every price already includes shipping, and our reprint guarantee covers you if anything's off on our end. Approve it from your phone between jobs and get back to work.
Frequently asked questions
What should an auto detailing business print to get more customers?
Start with business cards ($39.95/100) for every finished car, a service menu ($189/250) listing your packages so customers upgrade themselves, and a roadside vinyl banner — 3x8 for $89. Door hangers at $279/500 let you target specific neighborhoods, and die-cut stickers ($139/250) turn customer bumpers into rolling ads. All prices include shipping.
How much do business cards cost for an auto repair shop?
At i Can Print That, business cards cost $39.95 for 100, $44.95 for 250, or $54.99 for 500, with shipping included. Most shops go with 500 so every tech and service writer carries a stack. You get a free file check and a free digital proof, and nothing is charged until you approve it.
Are door hangers effective for auto repair marketing?

For bigger reach, EDDM mail starts at $398 per route, covering about 400–800 homes with printing and mailing included.
What size banner is best for an auto shop?
For roadside visibility, go 3x8 ($89) — it stays readable at driving speed. A 3x6 ($75) suits building fronts, and a 2x6 ($59) works for fences and event tables. All vinyl banner prices include shipping, and every banner gets a free digital proof before printing so your phone number is sharp and correct.
Do I pay before approving my print proof?
No. Every order — from $39.95 business cards to an $89 banner — includes a free professional file check and a free digital proof, and nothing is charged until you approve that proof. Shipping is already baked into every price, and a reprint guarantee covers your order if something goes wrong on our end.
