Do you tip your detailer?

[SATMAN40]

In the restaurant business wages are $2.00 an hour and tips are almost required, and their wages should be raised.

In the professional business world, a gift may be fine and sometimes unethical. If you are getting to many tips you need to raise your prices.

Some charge more some charge less but in the end you will get what you are worth.

ahhh my last detailer i did not tip but that was only because of the results of his poor ethics and damage to my car....here soon next week in fact I will be sure to give a very generous tip to a forum member for helping me out with my vehicle....the time he has given and will be giving me to help is priceless and deserving of a tip

I do not tip an owner. He sets a price and that is what he gets. An employee is another case. In an industry where the employee depends upon tips for most of him income( and most of us know what job those are) I alway give a tip. If, however, the employee does not depend on tips for his income. I will only tip if he did a great job or helped me with something that is really outside the call of the job.
Thus, most detailer will get no tip.

LOL... I get the same from people at work during the Holidays. I don't drink either. Maybe, they are trying to tell us something.

BTW..... A poker dealer told me this long time ago-" It's SEXY to tip".

I always tip above par. I am very demanding.
Bad service still gets 15%, along with a tongue lashing explaining where they missed out.
My TGIFriday's dinner tab was $330 Saturday night. Tip was $50 cash on top of the 15% added to the credit card. Outstanding service towards my guests.

My full time job relies on tips. My detailing business isn't what pays the bills, it's my therapy that happens to make me a few bucks. My personal reward is stepping back and looking at my finished product AND I get paid . That said, I have never done a job and not received a tip. Not once. I don't expect it, but I make sure that the customer knows that I appreciate it. My last job came in under my original estimate (I estimated time on the interior and it went much more smoothly) and she tipped me the difference. In general I tip everybody who performs a service for me if I can afford it.

I have customers tip me all the time I don't really care if they do. The only things that matter to me are they are happy and tell their friends. I do have a few customers that way over tip me every time I do paint correction for them.

Tipping is par for the course.
