Do you have professional business cards and brochures with pricing and services printed?
Do you look and act like a professional detailer?
There are customers that are not in the know, when it comes to true auto detailing and because of your age, experience, appearance, etc., will try and negotiate with you. Once you find out their needs, let your brochure do the talking for you. Then say, "Now then Mr./Mrs. Customer would you like service A) Just washed & waxed look, B) Off the show room floor look, or C) Show car look?" Of course these are just examples, but a well thought out price list will avoid the customer thinking you're making things up as you go.
At this point if they want a deal, you could offer them a first time %/$ off your list price for trying your services. Once you get your repeat customers, you may not need to deal with the deal makers.
Good Luck, let us know what worked for you with the knowledge you learned here on Autopia.
