Are my prices to cheap?

Here's my website that I just finished. It's only temporary until I make a more in depth one. I tried basing my prices off of local detailers and shops to make myself more competitive. Some people say Im too expensive and some say too cheap.

What is your opinion?

If any of you could chime in I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much,

Chris

Re: Are my prices to cheap?

I wouldn't call your $60 wash a basic anything. Basic can give the idea that it's nothing special. Even not living in NJ I can bet that $60 for a wash and interior clean is not the cheapest around. Try another name for that.

Other than that, your prices are very nice(for the client) if you do a really good job. If you make good enough money and are happy with the prices don't sweat it right now. Stick with the prices as a means to help make a name for your new business. Once you make a name then think about adjusting.

If your pricing yourself along with your competition-then you are fine. My prices are pretty much the same as yours actually.

I agree, don't say "basic wash" maybe call it "Classic Service"

Re: Are my prices to cheap?

If you have clients that are happy paying it then you're just where you need to be. Not everyone is going to flock to every detailer. Some people just want the very cheapest service out there. (see any local craigslist ad for example) other's want nothing but the very best of the best... And most want somewhere in the middle. A good qaulity service at a reasonable rate. If you have customers and you're making enough to cover the expenses then you're fine.
