Re: 19' boat detail price.?
Hey Guys, my nane is Mike From St. Thomas Ont. CAN. I used to work in the Auto Parts Manufacturing sector and after 26 years,my job is belly up. I am starting a boat/RV detailing business and have done a great deal of homework on the business. I have been detailing my own boats as well as friends units for the past 40 years. I elected to go with the per/ft fee in place of the hr. rate as the costomer will know the up front fee with no hidden surprises. I have also gone mobile. A definate plus for the business. I don't mind revieling this info as there is more then enough room out there for more detailers. My detailing includes, compounding, waxing, polishing, bright-work, interior.tops and engine room if so equipted. All included in one price. The people I cater to are " the little guys " All are welcome though. Here in southern Ont. people took a massive hit with the recession and my prices reflect this. Im not in it to get rich over night but more so a labour of love, and make an honest living. I have one question for you professional detailers out there, and I ask this in an inquisitive mannor,and with all due respect, not sarcastic .At $30-$35p/ft, Do people have any issues paying these fees? Im sure you guys do a great jod though customers i've delt with can't afford those fees, again due to economic issues.Please be advised, I am NOT disrespecting your fees, just curious. My philosophy is " you get what you pay for" but in these difficult times, I personally would like to cut some slack. Keep that Meguiars flowing and shine on guys !! Mike
