What is your response when neighbors ask if you can wash their car?

[TacoRun]

I wash my vehicle outside in a well populated neighborhood. More often then not, people I know or don't know will give me a friendly "Hey can you wash my car too?" Or "you have time for one more?", or something to that effect.

Last time a neighbor said "Can you do mine next?" my response was "for the right price". She chuckled and went inside. Afterward I was like "crap, I hope she didn't take that wrong" haha. What is your typical response? I need some witty responses, I'm all dried up.

Q: "hey, can you wash my car too?"

R: "sure, i can use the extra money"

i'm sure this will stop them from asking anymore, unless they are interested in the services you have to offer...

[TacoRun]

Haha. I don't mind them asking, I'm just out of things to say. But I like that one.

I would say "Absolutely!" Whether you are a professional or a weekend hobbyist earning some extra money on the side, gaining potential customers is the name of the game. Letting as many people know you are in business doing this line of work is how you can open the door for a conversation about the service you can offer them.

I know that this isn't a funny one liner, but maybe a less intrusive way for your neighbors to know who you are and what you are doing.

Very nice. Just like the Jokers dad said "If you are good at something, never do it for free."

Usually when a neighbor asks me, they are just having fun and not serious and I'll laugh and say sure bring it over. If they are serious, I'd absolutely do it. And I'd do it for a decent price. If 1 neighbor tells a neighbor, that neighbor tells a neighbor...you get the idea.

I never take these neighbors seriously, but maybe I should.

I would of said the same thing,nothing wrong what you said your just implying to her that your time is valuable.

But seriously I usually just reply with "Sure, but it will cost you" And then they usually leave me alone.
