How To Set Prices In Your Detailing Business - Detailing Beyond Limits

[@michaelpiazza5115]

Hey man, this information is always much appreciated. Keeping it generalized is always the best since i'm sure there are people that would want to make an attempt to undercut your prices, increasing competition. Smart guy and as always, great video.

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Thanks a lot Michael! 👍🏻

[@MrScarefan]

Really appreciate your advice! I've been detailing for 7 years, and im glad to hear these words from another detailer!

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Make sure you are Clear on your prices and what the customer should expect. I had a potential customer say “omg that’s it?” For a 40$ quote . Which was for a quick in and out cleaning . That’s literally just vacuum , wipe down , windows and exterior wash with tire shine for me. Takes me no more than 1 hour . She saw my results on a car I worked on in the parking lot which was a Express detail in and out with a clay bar treatment , of course it looked great. But that’s a 3 hour job which cost 120$ . Just a tip ! be very clear on pricing and expectations basically so you don’t end up with unhappy customers

[@Juansuzarte1313Juju]

A 3 hour job with claybar should at least be $200-300… You’re absolutely undercharging yourself

[@renogunzddragon1900]

I wouldn't do any express kind of package at all just to avoid cheapo customers

[@WildLenny]

Are you kidding me if I do an hour of work it’s $120 if I do 3 hours of work it’s $360 man what are these bozos doing? They gotta be stupid as can be I won’t even do $40 on a quick maintenance on the inside or the outside haha 🤣 my maintenance wash be $60 and it takes me 30 minutes

[@thefuturetellsourpast4570]

@@WildLenny I don’t detail anymore I have employees to do it at a higher price point , yes 40$ is too low

[@andrewm.9646]

my vacuum only option is listed as 50 bucks minimum cuz it changes the entire appearance of the car and eliminates most smells and irritants. it takes an hour at most or can be the normal expected time if i have to move things a lot. i’m using an expensive machine and leaving the vehicle spotless and scratchless

[@xixxiixi-xii]

Thanks bro. Im about to start my business. I just bought everything i need. Ima practice on a couple of my cars and see how long it takes. Quick question do you charge seperate prices from inside and outside detailing ?

[@wolfmode0061]

You could do separate and duo packages. Make the duo package cheaper than doing both separately. This will encourage more sales and save you time and gas on having to travel back if you're mobile.

[@Jaydro29]

@wolfmode0061 Thanks bro, I'll keep that in mind.

[@thehuncholegendary1747]

Sometime in the near future, can you make a video showing the tools you use for your detailing business? If you already made a video about this, can you post the link? I appreciate it.

Hi Im at the deatealing business like 20 years and I have never NEVER !! heard that anyone charging TODAY $60 for interior “deatiling”,that is CRAZY!!

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

What ?

[@rahulbhatti6414]

We need license to start this business?

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

It can depend on your city/state, for the most part you can obtain a business license from your city when fulfilling all of their requirements.

[@maartin_vq]

[@1smae100]

This is what I'm trying to figure out

[@dinosnipez_]

I live in California should my lowest still be 60$

[@pvdg3515]

no!!! way to cheap! you will only attract cheap skates with those prices!!! 100 minimum!

[@OscarVius]

Can anyone give me some advice? I find myself taking around 4 hours to detail the exterior of a car (I know it’s way too long). I live in a state that has 100 degree weather and sun out all day long. So when I was vehicles the soap usually dries up quick and after I scrub and rinse things off I’m left with a lot of water marks that eats away at my time. I wash the vehicle in sections because of how hot it is but even when I dry it just leaves water marks. Does anyone have any tips of how I should properly wash a vehicle or how I can be more effective in drying it off? Thank you

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Hey Oscar, I actually have a video where I show you how to wash your vehicle in direct sunlight, I share an awesome product that can be used in scenarios where you are working in the intense heat. Make sure you check it out! Also, try to create a process on how you wash a vehicles exterior, and repeat that same exact process on every vehicle you work on, with time you’ll be able to get used to that process and be much quicker.

[@OscarVius]

@@detailingbeyondlimits thank you 🙏🏽 I appreciate the feedback

[@codycornell5036]

Takes me about 3-4 including the wheels and tires and putting a wax or sealant on and doing windows. I clean daily drivers that’s are rough on the outside so I feel you, it takes a long time. Find a process that works for you and you will get faster with time. As far as soap drying that’s a tough one for sure if you are mobile and can’t go inside.

[@MegaSmooth17]

Idk I charge 150 and up but I take 4 to 5 hrs on a interior. $225 is my max price...

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Nice. It all comes down to what you feel comfortable with! I was only giving examples then everyone can play with the numbers. If you’re charging $150 for about 4-5 hours you’re averaging about $30 - $37.50 an hour.

[@joeyg9837]

That’s lowballing I’d charge 250 minimum for basic interior and exterior detail

[@JackRinderer-r4n]

[@official1a.m.295]

How much do you charge Randy? For every detail. I just bought everything you listed in your video on what you need. I would like to know what you are charging now! Thank you

[@renogunzddragon1900]

Go to his website to see his prices

[@pvdg3515]

you are basing 30 an hour without taking expenses into consideration.....in this case you would have to charge 45-50 an hour to make 30 an hour. taxes, gas, wear and tear(vehicle), materials, travel time, etc etc. I hate seeing low balling detailers! raise the prices! people don't be afraid to charge more, if you were to take it to a brick n motor shop they easily charge 50 an hour just for labor. respect yourself and time.

[@douglashadaway5114]

That little bit for a detail? $30 an hour minus supplies. Not that great.

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Lol. Literally explained it was an example for simplicity.
