Mobile Detailers

Sup guys....

Welp..I hurt my back pretty bad and the baby is getting dirty. I have been forced to get someone else to shine my baby clean.

I got quoted $129.99 for a full detail which includes

-Wash, shampoo, wax, seal.
-undercarraige
-engine clean
-vaccuum
-condition/clean leather
-vents
-edges (nooks and crannies)
-polish everything
etc etc etc

Never did this before...Is this a good price? When I do it for friends and family I charge $100.

I'd charge 200-250 for that depending on the car and color

be carefull, because it's hard to raise prices later, there is NO reason you should be doing that work for $100 unless it's a friend of family

well said. dont sell yourself short. it takes way too much work to do a good detail for only $100. i myself charge $40 an hour with a 6 hour minimum. if its going to go over that time i let the customer know.
