Make yourself a cheap flyer and leave one with each client. We did car interiors for years, always lots of them, RV's in need of cleaning. We we're getting $250.00 for them but we'd book a car or SUV and then get emergency work and HAVE TO finish the vehicle. It just didn't work out without business model but there is a market for it.

 

[GCCLee]

I have background in Auto detailing but only want the fabrics this time.

Seems to be a fairly good market around here as I have had more an more ask about it blindly not knowing.

Awesome on interiors! They need to really market the Auto Guys with these tools!

I am always eager to answer when people ask about their car interior....and say: NO.


I can't stand getting in cars to try to clean. If I was short and tiny, I'd have a different opinion...

 

[Dolly Llama]

did them in the early years , RV's and boats too
I'd still do 'em now, but most folks frEEk when they hear my prices

"but the guy at the detail shop does them for $XX and they clean the windows, and wash 'n wax the exterior "


"yeah, I know, you outta take it to them......."

when my wife worked in the office......
we'd have ..clean yor auto day.......
i'd park my truck at the back of the office
and all the girls would jus drive them to me..
i would do 18 -20 cars per day... $40-$80 @

 

[Lee Stockwell]

So you could do 18-20 a day....

 

[bob vawter]

Same here, Larry.....I reluctently clean auto interiors. Charge 'em high, chase 'em away, I say. Some of the new fabrics in cars aren't very friendly.

Right, I tell them it would cost less for them to take it to a car detailer...they don't need to run a 20000 dollar truckmount to mess around in those crevices all over the car twisting a 6'7" body around...

And did they all have a smile on their faces?After you did them? (You're now a legend and a hero Bawbster)

 

[bob vawter]

sometimes i would have to schedule the following day to finish all the gals that didn't get done the first day....
one guy to scrub wit de brush and the other to extract....no big deal....

 

[Able 1]

That money can sit in their driveway! I absolutely hate cleaning cars! Priced accordingly I might.. NO, I would still HATE cleaning cars!

 

[GCCLee]

So I'm a little guy : )

I feel like their $$ would be better spent with a detailer so I turn them on to one usually. If they just want me to clean just the seats, that I can do. Around here, you can have your car fully detailed (in and out) for @ $250. It would look awesome when finished.

I'd charge easily half of that and there would still be funk under the seats and in all the little crevasses that I can't reach with my tools.

If you have a background in it and like the work, get it man!! Seriously. Get the word out and be the best detailer around.

I'm detail focused and have seen and appreciate what a good detailer does. It's a craft in it's own and has some of it's own tools and such.

For us , it doesn't make a lot of sense. Customers have been surprised and happy that I will refer them to someone who can recondition the interior/exterior of their whip for a reasonable price.

That reminds me, I've been thinking of going in to the detailer that I recommend to see if maybe I could get ours done.

If it works for you right now Chris....DO IT!

I have done my share of auto's in the past.

Fortunately, I can now refer them to someone else and don't need that kind of work, but there were days, I did a lot of cars! (again a lot younger and skinnier )

If it will fill the schedule on down days, don't be idle if you can bring in some money until you grow your business to a point of being able to refer them too.

I loved cleaning the upholstery it always cleaned up nice. Fast easy cleaning.

I hate hate hate the carpet. It gets pounded to bupkis, sand and grit wear on it and discolor it. Never looked good in the worn spots.

 

[bob vawter]

we would set up an assembly line.....
by the days end our hands would be all cut up
from scrubbin' under the seats.....

 

[Lee Stockwell]

My brother and family run a large upholstery shop.

First, the girls with air tools would have the seats OUT of the vehicle in less than 5 minutes, and the carpets OUT in another 5.

I can't imagine doing a great job otherwise.
