Actually what I told you was that it's impossible to give you a quote over the phone without seeing your car. You kept asking me how much it would be, and I said that I charge $75 hr (set for small 1 to 4 hour jobs) but that I do a flat rate for most details and that price range can be from $300-$800 and it depends on the work that needs to be done. The rate usually ends up being around $45/hr on a typical detail. I also told you that most of my cars are black cars like the 50th Anniversary Z06 I was finishing up at that time that turned out to be repainted and therefore had a lot more issues than was originally anticipated despite it having only 2100 miles. That's why an evaluation is necessary.
You also asked me about the scratches in your paint whether they could be fixed and how much. I again asked you how long, how wide, how deep, whether it's to the metal, whether your paint was flat or metallic. All important questions. I also told you that we can also do paint and body should it need painting. If you recall, I said to bring your car by and I'd give you a free evaluation and quote. I don't think any of that was unreasonable. The price I offer my work at is as competitive as the guy who works from the back of his car, and my customers will attest that I'm the best there is.
FWIW, I have not increased my pricing since I moved into a shop 3 years ago. My pricing is the same as when I was mobile.
