Near my house there is a car polishing centre .YEsterday i saw an advertisment

<<for only one month special offer 50 dollars. wash outside (wheels, windows,engine, under the car),inside carpets-belts,sampoo the seats,

AND the most important compounding and sealing with teflon..

And i ask this question..HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE?
Now you can undersant the guality of the job...

If the doing a proper job the least of the expenses maybe be 40-45 dollars...

After some conversation i had with friends the said wow i must do this in my car .i said to them ivolunteer to do it for you and they denay ..

Most of the general public do not know what a true detail even is. So these high volume shops charge little, do iffy work and generally the customer is happy. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I've never understood this either. Even if you upsale, it still wouldn't be profitable

I can't even offer a wash for their prices, much less shine their dash

weird how ppl are willing to pay a stranger their price but expect a deal and then some for a friend doing the same work...

Unfair but not unusual. People expect their doctor and lawyer friends to give away their professional services as well.

Whenever some asks me for a discount because we're friends, I tell them that seeing that we're friends why don't you pay me double....it makes just as much sense ;)

Is 50 dollars about a days wage in Cyprus? 40 Euros about?

We do this special all day long.. Not sure what the prob is
My guys work on commission and can turn a sedan around in under an hour (doing it right) ... They make $12 and the house makes $38... Fine with me ALL DAY LONG
