    Hey all,



    Just got a call today from a potential customer...I asked him what kind of vehicle he had, and he said a Dodge Sprinter 1 Ton. At first thought, I didnt realize what it was until after i got off the phone with him.



    Anyway, if you not sure what it is..Click here...http://www.automedia.com/NewCarBuyer...argo_ext_1.jpg



    How would I price this?? By foot? By hour? I ask because I have yet to do a vehicle this size...also, I`m meeting with him tomorrow, so i dont know the condition or what exactly he wants done.



    Thanks for the help!:dance

    give him a straight up price and charge extra for the roof to be detailed as well, i had to do one last summer and it was a real pain, plus being that its a van charge extra for it being hard to detail in the first place, u need money too right?

    Just charge what you normally charge... it`s only going to take extra hours so charge accordingly.

    I would charge an extra 1-2 hours rate ($50-60 per hr.) on top of your normal detail cost for a vehicle in that type of condition.
