    Re: Flatbed Pricing?

    I had them at $460 for what was basically my base interior/exterior package for the cab and wheels, and cleaning the deck and rails. It also included a slight upcharge due to it being outside my normal travel range, but we had discussed that up front. I thought it was fair for both sides taking into consideration that this was my first vehicle of this type, but I guess not. This may turn me off to even considering that type of work in the future. I've been pretty busy with a HOA that I hooked up with but was trying to fill a cancellation spot.

    Re: Flatbed Pricing?

    At $460 you were more than fair price wise. I’d stick to where your customers are and where you are making the most money. HOA’s sound like a great place for mobile detailing. I saw a group of 10-12 nice luxury condominiums lining the gold course I played yesterday. Lawn care guys were there and I was instantly thinking a quick $60-100 wash and wax monthly would be an easy sell.

    Yeah, once you get in with a HOA the calls start coming in like crazy. As soon as I see Nazareth on my phone or messenger I know within a couple of blocks exactly where I'm going .

    We go to a high end 55+ community (houses) on a golf course once a month. We went yesterday and we go basically every four weeks as three of the jobs are monthly maintenance and then we just add jobs on to those three to fill our schedule. We frequently go other times for big jobs, but at least the once a month for washes. That place is an absolute gold mine. We made almost $500 yesterday. Every car is parked in the garage. No kids. Very little miles driven. The cars take me like less than 5 minutes to vacuum. No goldfish or french fries everywhere. They all pay full price and they tip. Every time we're there, we probably give away another 10-20 business cards and end up booking a big job or two for the next week.

    That's awesome. There is literally a 55+ community 1/2 mile from my house. I should swing by....

    Yes, although most of our customers are quite a bit older than that. The community we go to is just a regular gated housing community except that there's no kids or young people. Everybody is staying off everybody else's lawn.
