Whats your cheapest car wash?

[Grizzly]

Mines is about $25.

For a small car:

Exterior wash.
Door jamb dry
Tires/wheels/wells cleaned & dressed.


Bigger vehicles, interior vac/wipedowns, maintenence details, etc can be up to $100 for me typically, which takes 2-3 hours.

Then a basic detail starts at $150.

$25 is what I charged the few people's cars I did last summer. This Spring I plan on charging the same price but doing more cars.

$10.50 for my 10 year old to go after it with Windex and paper towels.:eek:

....Oh, wait!. . .you were serious?

I charge $25 for a car. Wash, clean dress rims, tires and wheel wells, vac, clean the windows. I think thats fair IMO.

[JonMiles]

$35 which includes a thorough wash, doorjams cleaned, windows, and a quick dust and vac on the interior.

My Fleets are $20 a car (high quantity and stable) - Personal start at $30 a ride - full exterior wipe down/door jams/wheel wells/ and a good vacuuming (takes me about 1 to 1.5 hours).... after products and taxes I make about .50 a car!!!:dblthumb2:

I'm charging 20 for a mobile wash 40 for a wax and 99 for a basic detail....the price is going up to 25 for a wash and 45 and 150 for a basic detail. only reason I'm charging these prices is bc I just moved down to fl to go into business with some guy. And he kind of exzadurated how much business he had and now I'm building my clientele myself.

Wouldn't necessarily refer to it as my cheapest wash,
Instead, I like to refer to it as my most lucrative. Exterior only + wheels and wells, and exterior windows starting at 20 for compacts. Heck, I did eight of these today in a little less than four hours. Walked away with 160 and was given 40 in tips.

If you ask me, that's Awesome!

If you guys are charging 25 for a wash, how much are you charging for a wash/clay/sealant/dress wheels, clean windows and vacuum?

I was thinking in charging 150 for all that but would someone pay 125 extra for clay and sealant?

Fleet cars and auction cars, $20 for the basic inside and out. Regular customer start at $25(corolla sized) up to $50(suburbanish size) for the basic inside/outside.

I've got one customer that drives a Smart car. I only charge him $20 and he gets a real good basic job. He has a small barber shop and has told many of his customers about me. I would guess his word of mouth advertising has generated $500 for me over the last 3 months. He's due for a free wax job I think.

I may be wrong - but I think alot of people's prices on here vary cause of their location. Cost of living up North or in Cali exceeds Tennessee greatly, something I think some new guys on here trying to start up should maybe realize before they go to a customer quoted some of the prices that others on here use. IMO
