Maintenance pricing

[Johnnyboy]

If I have already done major work on the car myself and it is maintained by ME, maintenance service is usually around $45 and have never had to charge more than $65 in certain cases.

$100 for a wash is out of hands, even if you charge $50an hour I don't know how a basic wash can take you more then an hour to do.

This is once a month, not weekly or biweekly. Wheels will be trashed, bedliner will likely be trashed and it's a crew cab, if he's got a topper it's more time. Trucks can easily take twice as long as a sedan, they are just abused more in general.

Why not just do it bi-weekly and charge about $65? Remember, this are just suggestions and it's 100% your call.

One of the weekly maintenance I do is $75 per week and that's on the lower end. Dust and dirt accumulate fast!

I have already done the regular detail to it.

How many hours, of your time, did you spend doing this "regular detail"? What is your hourly rate?

Also:
Curious of what all your regular detail package consists. TIA.

Perhaps you need to take size in account along with competition.
If you go to high you just might lose a full time compleat detail customer
As for myself I charge $45 then add on any extras ie. pet hair,tar,scratch removal .....
Use your best judgment to keep your customers
Good luck

Our downtown got hit hard and then a few dings here and there. The city's economy is strong so the damage was cushioned reasonably well.

Thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well too.

Good to hear!

I REALLY hate earthquakes...spent 60+ years living in earthquake country...now I gotta worry about tornados (LOL).

Start at 100 and if it is not as bad as you thought you can give a discount. If there is a lot of pet hair then 100 is fine
