The graphic you use is NOT in detail, in fact it's the opposite - contradicts what I imagine when I think "in detail" even though I know it pertains to detailing NOT detailed panaroma of the GTA.
Do you have any specialty or unique selling proposition for the customer that you can add to your card or on the back? Stuff like: only use distilled water; only biodegradeable detergents used; etc? That would be a "nice to have".
Other than that, works for me - has the info. I need to reach you.
Thanks for the feedback. I did edit the wording in the title area a bit on the next iteration of the card (it no longer says "in the GTA", and I added a couple words).
The entire design on the new one is different, it's outlined pictures of cars; still has a kind of modern/contemporary feel too it though. It should be done in the next few days, I will post when it is.
Oh; I didn't put any specific info on the new card either; but I did put the website URL since that's where you can *get* the info. I figured that'd be easier for everyone. I like to try to keep the cards minimalist.
Cheers.
edit: new card (work in progress)

Not to beat on the topic - but I went in a totally new direction today. I decided to go with a new theme for the business that involved a more "old school" look. I'll post the new business card soon.

picus - some thoughts...
- move contact info to bottom right
- italicize Professional Mobile Automotive Detailing and use same font colour as dark part of your vehicle graphic
- fix the typo on both the front and back where you have "autmotive"
If you really want to get creative, create a logo for the GTA In Detail. Maybe incorporate the GTA into the car wheels or soap bubbles?

Are rounded corners the cool thing for business cards these days? The first time I saw them was on a business card for a chick website, so maybe that's why I kind of associate them with being girly.

chicks drive cars too 
rounded corners don't snag in your wallet - not sure if they are more expensive but would imagine so - die cut required and wasted paper due to the corners being snipped off! ouch!

Ah, thanks for the tips.
@ the mispelling. I am so professional.
I am currently working on a corporate logo. I will post it when I am happy with it, which could be never. 
Thanks again.
(oh, on the rounded edges - they don't snag corners as mentioned. That's why I use em. My post cards have regular corners.)
edit:
Starts to get a bit busy this way.

You're right - it does look busy!
Go back to the text for now - maybe italicize the GTA In Detail as well to suggest movement. Keep the width of "GTA..." the same as "Professional..."
Use thin stars in strategic spots to suggest a gleaming shine? Not sure if you will know what I mean without an example...
