SAPOO – CAR CARE WITH A DIFFERENCE
Why Sapoo has become the car detailing service of choice for Entrepreneurs, Footballers, Actors and celebrities
For Mike Karachountris, caring for cars was always an area of interest, but little did he know that it would one day be his line of business.
“I was always interested in car care, but I didn’t know how it could be turned into a business. I thought it was just a hobby for some people. The idea came to me by accident when I saw someone detailing a car in Mayfair. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try and worked for another detailing company while simultaneously earning my certification as a car detailer,” he said.
Once armed with both the experience and car detailing qualifications, Mike Karachountris decided to embark on an entrepreneurial journey and start Sapoo – his own car detailing business with a difference. “I started Sapoo in 2021. It’s surprising how many people in England still don’t know they can order car detailing services at home, even though the mobile car care industry has been around since the 80s or earlier. Every day, I’m reminded of the untapped potential in this market,” he adds.
Famous and celebrity clients
His hard work and dedication has seen him acquire a number famous clients over the years. As he puts it, “Sapoo’s quality of work and preceding reputation has afforded me the opportunity to meet famous and successful individuals whom I would never have known otherwise. My clients include football players, actors, businessmen, and politicians. We all share the same passion for cars. Some of them clean their vehicles 2-3 times a week. I fully understand them, as car appearance says a lot about the owner. For some of them this is an integral part of their professional lives.”
But wait a minute, what’s the difference between mobile car detailing and local car wash stations?
The main difference lies in the quality and variety of services offered. Mobile car detailing is a completely different level of service, it’s the ‘extra mile’. Even a basic service can take more than an hour. Sapoo consider numerous factors to achieve the best results. These factors include the paint colour, the condition of the paint, and the protection required. Sometimes, they even measure the thickness of the paint. Only certified professionals can provide such detailed services.
Naturally, Sapoo prices are higher than those of regular car wash stations, but as the saying goes, “pay cheap, pay double.”
How using Sapoo can actually help increase the value of your car…now there’s a surprise!
When Sapoo polish a four-year-old car and remove scratches and minor paint damage caused by improper washing methods, this can increase the car’s value by up to £2,000 or more. The prices for services range from £50 to £600-£700, depending on the client’s needs and the car’s condition.
What eco-friendly products or methods does Sapoo employ during the detailing process?
Sapoo strives to be as eco-friendly as possible in the detailing process. Most of the detergents they use are biodegradable and acid-free, ensuring safety for the environment. Sapoo is committed to continually finding high-quality, eco-friendly detergents from reputable companies. “Transparency is important to us, so we offer a detailed list of all the products we use on our website for anyone interested. By using these environmentally conscious products, we aim to reduce our ecological footprint while still providing top-notch car detailing services.”
The Sapoo philosophy for business and management

We have cleaned thousands of cars without a single complaint. We continuously invest in improving the customer experience. Recently, we were rated as one of the best mobile car detailing companies in London. This dedication to quality is the reason for our rapid growth and the trust our customers place in us.”
