Attempting to figure out how to price your details as a professional detailer can be a difficult task. Many people do not know where to begin, or feel like they are doing a lot of work for only a little money. In this video I give some serious insight into how I price my details currently, where I came from, different ways you can think about pricing, and more! Learning how to understand the true cost of a detailing business is essential in order to understand how to develop you detailing prices. Many new detailers that I know end up selling themselves very cheap because they are not very confident about how their detailing skill level, and therefore have fairly low detailing prices. It is important to be confident in your detailing prices, especially when talking to customers, because at the end of the day, everyone is looking for a deal, and they will sometimes try to lower your prices as much as they can. The more experience and knowledge you have, the more confident you will be in your detail prices, and that will translate into how you talk to your customers. If you have already developed your detail prices, or still trying to figure out how to develop your detailing prices, check out this video, and learn from my mistakes!

@alexbryan9716
@alexbryan9716 7 лет назад
You have a good logic. I also usually charge a set price based on the average amount of time it has taken me to do that type of vehicle in the past. From there I look at the vehicle and adjust price/time required to complete the job. Then like I said I over estimate a bit on the price/time that way when I get done earlier and it costs them less they feel like they got a good deal. What I have learned is that if a person is not willing to give u the money and time with their vehicle in order to do the job right then they either don't want a "detail" they just want a clean up which is not the same at all and most customers don't understand that. If someone really values your skills and wants the job done right then they won't have a problem letting u keep their vehicle for as long as it takes(within reason). If someone doesn't like the price or time that I quote them I politely suggest that they go to a detail (shop) with multiple people working on each vehicle and pay double what I charge. Have a nice day! Lol

Speaking of underpricing, I was legit just putting myself down or i had a genuine customer, but I spent 4hrs on a Mitsubishi ASX. This was my third car since branching into cleaning or detailing and originally I made a friends only FB post saying "I'll do cars for $40". When I asked this customer (parents of my friends) what I said or if there was a quote, they said $40 but they said it was way too cheap for the work done and I said okay... does ...$80 sound fair? Bloke pulled out aome cash and said "youll get this and thatll be the end of it" I saw a red and yellow thinking ah yeah $70 thats fair. Finished talking, went inside and saw there was $90 instead, so I'm genuinely happy with that. 90 for a touch up clean on a Mitsubishi ASX, especially as a new aspiring detailer was a great start. I reckon charging a flat rate of $120 for CX9/4BYS is fair, 150 is soiled and muddy or half a biscuit factory in the back seats

Very good information and I love the part where you say don’t let them bully you on your price but you also have to think about the wear and tear on your vehicle as well not just your tools. Also, you have to worry about taxes at the end of year to a lot of people forget about that you have taxes to pay on every dollar you make it’s just the way it is, so in all honesty yes, you have to charge a higher rate for the taxes and the wear and tear on your vehicle. You have to understand you have to put tires brakes oil changes maintenance on your vehicle gas in your tank to get back-and-forth to these peoples houses all that Has to be factored in not just your tools With me, I would do a wash and wax for $120 flat rate. If you want your interior done it’s an extra 80 bucks. so in total I believe that is 200. I believe if I have my math, correct I honestly think that is a honest price after you factor in tools wear and tear on your vehicle gas for your vehicle product prices are going up at an all-time high. Everything is going up the wax I used to buy honestly used to cost me 11 bucks now it cost me 15 and some change prices are at an all time high there’s nothing we can do and honestly down here in Florida where I’m at you will sweat your ass off it’s just the nature of the business never short change yourself, and just like this young man has said never let them bully you into lowering your price you know what you are. worth know your work for example my wife works for a transport company. She works in the office I went and talk to one of her bosses. Her boss had told me that she has a Detailing company that comes in and does all her vehicles for $80 a vehicle that’s everything wash wax clean the interior vacuum, she also mentioned that they also do her truck wash wax vacuum, clean the interior for $100. The company also owns a couple of transport buses. She didn’t tell me what they charge to do those but she says it’s pretty expensive. I looked at my wife and I looked at her and I said well they have me beat on the price because I definitely can’t charge you 80 bucks to do a whole vehicle interior and out I’m not working for free. She asked me do you carry your own water tank I said no I’d have to use your power and your water. She said well they use their own water and I believe they use their own power and that’s when I told her if I had that stuff, I would charge you way more than $200 that’s why I only want to charge you 200 for each vehicle but anyway I decided to move on because she was actually trying to beat me down from $80 what her other Detailing company does not worth it know your worth I am definitely not doing a whole car or a van for 80 bucks. It’s not enough money.

Even not knowing everything that a pro detailer knows I understand everything you just said and I charge a reasonable price that under cuts everyone else and the look I produced is a professional clean look I still give a reasonable price and I’m still able to gain profit but customer services is number one so with presenting a reasonable price to me that’s good customer service and then everything else falls into place I feel that if I was to go full time I would rake up but there are people like you said that are trying to get something great for nothing and I’ve had people hate on me for my prices because they know they are screwing people out of money that’s there problem

I do a "maintenance wash" which is just a thorough exterior wash including door jams and wheel wells, tire dressing (and sometimes a very quick vacuum and windows depending on the client). My "maintenance detail" is all the above plus a sealant application and a little more attention to the interior. Hopefully this helps!

@wilsonautodetailing
@wilsonautodetailing 7 лет назад
Absolutely! That's certainly a viable option, I would just be careful in that giving flat rates can be difficult because not all cars are equal in condition, so you may charge 20 dollars for a 30 minute job one place, and a 2 hour job another place, so I would make sure that there is a stipulation in that flat rates can increase with excessive dirt... great question!

I usually over estimate based on the amount of time I know I can complete the job in....then if it takes less time to complete I adjust the price.

Yep that's definitely a good strategy, helps you over deliver at a level as well

I have a price worksheet. And then vehicle sizes effect percentages. Coupes 80% sedans and small crossovers 100% trucks 120% and large suvs 140%. The percentage is put it for each individual 'result produced' idk if that makes sense

What is the best way to to determine cost of product/wear and tear to figure out how much your monthly expenses are for products?
@wilsonautodetailing
@wilsonautodetailing 6 лет назад
make a google spread sheet with the date you bought it, how many/what types of cars you detailed, and the date that you ran out, then you can see how long it lasted, and how many cars you detailed with it, and what kind of cars they were
