Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have been slowly but surely starting my own detailing business. I need some advice on pricing, hourly wages, and making sure I make up a waiver for my customers to sign. Any ideas on what to put into the waiver? Thanks!

Welcome to AutoGeek, can't really help you with your questions because I just wing it and set prices as I see the vehicles...I should really come up with rates but oh well....besides I love detailing vehicles and trying to beat my best time and always look to improve on the apperance of the vehicle...but getting paid is good too :D

I do it as a sideline. I charge $25/hr and can usually quote fairly accurately how long it will take and what I suggest. The average job is about $150. but has been as high as $250.

Welcome. A lot of what you plan to charge depends on your experience and the area you are in. You need to judge your own capabilities honestly. In that way you are not getting paid for your time, but rather your brain.

I agree with bambo, depends on your abilities, how long youve been doing it, and your customer base.

Pricing will really depend on area you live in, cars you detail, products you use, and your skills (labor, and ability to sell).
