Thanks for the kind words Jon...this car was a nice change from the usual details. It was a great deal of fun.

 

Do you generally run a ballpark hourly rate, or is it a quote per car type, or is it pretty close to the estimation tool you have on your site?

D!

 

I treat each car differently; but the custom pricing on the website will give clients the correct idea. I approach detailing in a way a physician would. A one-size-fits-all hourly rate or quote doesn't really apply. I'm sure others have their way, this just happens to work for me and my niche.

 

That's really helpful Moe. I'm just trying to figure out my pricing so I was interested in how you price stuff out.

Thanks!

D!

 

Glad I can help. At the end of the day, it's a detailer's job to make the client comfortable and educate him/her on the correct process and the proper compensation. I think the more experience you have, the more you've seen things and know how to remedy the situation. If you're willing to invest the time and make automotive detailing your career, your experience and skill level should demand higher premiums. This particular Cuda did have an issue that I knew would arise on the black matte stickers. Instead of not knowing what to do or getting nervious, I made a few educated tries to remedy the problem, and all was well. I had the client in the garage with me at the time, which meant I had to have even more professional control at the time. All worked out well, and it occured to me that's why guys like me can demand our pricing. This can only be chalked up to making mistakes that you learn from over the years. Over time, your clients see what you do and what you charge as an excellent value instead of a higher cost detail.

 

Awesome job as always Moe. It must have been a pleasure to work on such a classic.

 

Thanks Pat...appreciate you checking this out. It was a lot of fun working on this Cuda...looking forward to doing more of the same for this client.

 

Great work, very nice write up!
