Drift Auto Detail

[5spdintegra]

We my friend and I have stared our own detailing business: www.Drive.to/DriftAuto We have done almost 10 cars. The problem is that it takes forever!

I think my solution is going to be charge more and get more help. Any suggestions?

well of course 2 people takes alot longer to detail a car. i been doing detailing for a few years and just me alone it takes me a long time. no good quality work is going ot come from an hour of work...maybe more than a day...even more depending on the situation i think.

60 bucks for a full detail wow....down here the rate is 100+

i myslef charge 150 for a inside out detail job..and thats low.

good luck in your business.

i know that detail shops use some stuff on their tires.....what is that stuff....i loooove it.

Right now we are taking a little break but when were back into things were raising the price. It was not worth it for only $60!

[accordztech]

yea 60 bucks...haha people mow lawns for that price. i charge that for washing/vacumning/and smaller other things..but nto wax.

and u got to concider materials as well.

tell me is it a business out of ur garage or do you have a shop

[5spdintegra]

Garage baby! I'm only 17.

hehe cool..im 20 and i have a garage business too. also look at other places that detail cars and see what they charge...i mean i bet the average person would pay 120 for a detail job...versus 350 bucks

i also do tune ups and engine work/computer related work as well.

maybe u can post ur cleaning line up in the detailing forum.

I will do oil changes, spark plugs but I haven't had any customers for that yet.

My new price is definitly going to be in the $100's.

I will post all my services in here once I get the business back together again.
