Hey Guys I need some input on the pricing for detailing jobs.
Although I am a beginner and can do the basic detailing job such as hand wash, polish, and wax I do not have the money or time to do a full detail to make the car look awesome like cars on the forum. In the future I plan to invest in a Griots Garage Polisher and learn detailing some more. But I want to have a professional detailing job in-out full detail and 3 step paint correction.
My interior is a mess when it comes to carpets and fabrics. The leather and dash are clean thanks to me but the seatbelts, headliner, side panel door fabric, trunk, and carpet are gross. I don't know what the previous owner did, but it looks like there was a farm or party in my car lol. It does not smell by any means but it is nasty.
My exterior is okay from pictures but if you look up close even though its much better than what it use to be after a hand polish and wax, there are noticeable swirls and some areas and the car has areas of touch up paint and clearcoat. Plus there are some clear-coat scratches that can only be removed by a DA or rotary.
I found a really nice detailing place and I even would get 10% off the full detail being a new customer. You can think of it they do it. From the engine, interior, buff, wax, clay, polish, glaze, door jams, and even the spare tire is cleaned lol
Many other places are car washes with detailing hand washes that only include vacuum, and hand wax. Even some of the best ones are not professional and are glorified car washes with many immigrant workers who seem to rush the car clean even with their expensive washes. Most of them wash the cars and use brushes, old rags, and dry the cars with squeegees (OUCH!!) and there is always a spotty job.
I cannot find any other professional detail place in my area that is good as this one. I was quoted at $350 for the whole job and would pay $315 after the 10% discount.
What do you think guys is this a good deal for the whole inside out detail? If there is a better option or place let me know. I live in Staten Island and would prefer to have it done here.
I wish I could do it myself but I do not really have the time and I want my car to come out awesome without the beginner errors. I plan on getting a DA down the road but I do not have the funds and patience at this time.
I will attach an image of the sheet I was given (I would be paying $315 not $350 for first time job) along with the website.
If you guys know of a better place and have it done at a lower price please let me know.
Thanks.
