In your opinion, how much was that job actually worth?

Good warning, but maybe cho's deal will be different. If not, it's a "GSKR "told ya so".

Re: Exciting news today!!
The whole entire car was covered,I didn't get a break the water spots were from top to bottom on Everysingle panel.I would say a dealer who is feeding you 6 to 10 cars a month that job has to be at least 550.00.The promblem was that he was only selling 2 cars a month.He still has the same inventory from 8 months ago.He promised me 6 cars a month mimium.Right down the street some guy opened up a 2 million dollar inventory used corvette dealer.florida is to saturated with a me too businesses every where.

Your crazy for even doing it for $275. I wouldn't even get out of bed for anyhing less than $1000. For $550 I'd pick up the phone and tell them to suck an egg. At the end of the day it is about being profitable. I don't see how you can be profitable doing a full wetsanding job for $550. If it was for a friend, maybe, but for a bussiness deal no way. I learned in previous businesses, that if you give a discount. To show them how good you are. They just want that price and walk all over you. They make all sorts of promises they can't keep like your 6 to 10 cars. In the end he got you to wetsand a car for $275. He got his use out of you. Some people just abuse small businesses like this. That's how they make money, it gets even more cut-throat in more high end business than that. Demand what your worth always, and have the ability to walk away when you don't get what you want.

of their imported cars including skylines 😍
Btw how much would should I expect for AIO service like this?
Also I think they are way more flexible than regular dealers
when it comes to pricing since they are specialized dealer.
Anyways wish me luck
•Before accepting their offer for you
to provide to them an example of
your detailing abilities...[to see if you
are good enough(?)]
-I would have made sure to have received,
in writing, the amount of money you are
going to be paid for that sampling of your
detailing abilities.
•If all else fails...This is an excellent opportunity
for you to see, first-hand, just how "flexible"
this outfit really is when it comes to pricing.
-I wish you Luck.
