How NOT to make money detailing

[Ryan R]

Browsing through my local Craigslist auto services and came across this...
Hopefully the screenshot comes out clear... 20 bucks for an interior/exterior. Wow

[RhetoricMixes]

Yeah I don't care what supplies that guy is using there is no profit to be made there. I do see these listings all the time though.

Ya get what ya pay for...

Yes no profit whatsoever. And I as well come across listings like this alot. Usually 60 for full details..this one marks the lowest.

I can understand starting off with lower than average prices in order to attract customers if you're just starting but no need to go drastically low and work your butt off for nothing

Craigslist always amazes me. I just found one for 25 including full interior/exterior wash, compounding, polishing and wax.

+5.00 is you bring in an SUV

In a different one I found this little gem of a red flag " I'm looking to trade my services For Electronics, Gold, Laptops, $$,tattoos or anything valuable what do you have ???"

and yes I found it under auto detailing

These guys are training to be corporate CEO's so they can lose money on a larger scale.

These guys are the reason someone looks at u like you have three heads when you throw out something over $200..." we'll so and so does it for $25" and I say well go for it cause I'm not price matching here.

The best part is his last line....you gotta wash the vehicle yourself!!

So I'm paying him $60 to wipe on some wax and spray Fantastic around the cabin? That's, well......Fantastic.
