Re: what are mobile detailers charging?

I have a customer in Roanoke that I service semi-annually.

Your best approach is to look up Roanoke Valley detailer websites to get an idea of what the market will bear. You ought to be able to find their websites by perusing craigslist ads.

automotive detailing

Call and ask for website.

Re: what are mobile detailers charging?

I currently charge 15 for a car and 20 for a van truck suv . This is for a basic wash includes wash, drying, vaccum, windows, dusting dash , air fresheners, and tire shine . I am thinking of uping the prices and the reason they are this price now is cuase i bought the bussiness and these were the prices . As far as details i try to estimate them on how much time well be spent

I'm certainly not an expert on pricing but that sounds way too low.

Re: what are mobile detailers charging?

I don't actually do car washes right now, but my basic detail only takes about 1-2 hours for a car and that is what I consider an express detail. I have nothing against car washing, but it just seems like not much profit for a lot of traveling at times.

Re: what are mobile detailers charging?

I do everything from basic washes to full detailes . Just started my own business 5 months ago . So i haven't got my pricing all the way down yet. I have 14 yrs experience and still learning and kinda think that people should pay for the experience and professional service i am giving .
