What a week of disaster!

[ascarbo27]

Well my week sucked pretty bad, started out with a car going into anti theft due to a cord coming loose during engine detail, Friday I detailed 2 maintenance details for a company I won't name. I've been doing these cars for 5-6 months with no issues once every 2 weeks. Wash, interior wipe down, protectant vacuum and spot clean seats when nessicary, also up protectant on the plastic bumpers and plastic on the exterior( customers demand) this Friday I finished and the guy said he wasn't going to pay the agreed 35$ a piece, instead offered me 25$ a piece for 2 hrs of work which I didn't accept being it wasn't what was agreed upon, nothing in writing besides my past invoices. And it was all because last week this guy landed me a job with another branch of his company (40 minute drive away from me there 40 mins back) and I said I would do it but I'd be charging a bit more. He flipped saying I don't know how to run a business and I'm a typical mellineal expecting more for less. Any way how do you guys handle these circumstances of someone or a company not wanting to pay? It's only 70$ but that is a lot of money as I have bills and a 3 year old

I agree with Ron. IMO, your prices were already dirt cheap. If he is squawking about $35, tell him to find another detailer with cheaper prices.

Period.

Oh ha no 70 per visit depending if it was 2-3 cars

$70 a month. Or a little over 2 bucks a day. Not worth the headache.

I would not take any payment except the agreeded and put a mechanics lien on the cars. You may. It get paid today, but will some day.

I went every other week and each visit was 35 per car

It's a company that's paying me, and it's 2 of their 3 cars

How many times per week? Honestly, you could do 35/car mobile wash and people would be calling off the hook.

Hell, I'd go wash dishes before I'd do another car for him.

I know I have no idea what you're going through, but it's bothering you enough to ask about it.
