    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.

    I have actually seen Richards work a few years ago and its damn fine work, it would be worth a free evaluation. I also have seen the click and brags by Toyotaguy and it seems to be top quality too.

    I appreciate the offer for the free evaluation, but a detail that could cost up to 800 is not in my budget.



    I have heard youre the best but unfortunately i do not need the best (call me cheap.)



    I have decided to use someone who is highly recommended and i feel has amazing work.

    The likelihood of it costing $800 was pretty small. It might have only cost you $300 as well....can`t know until you see it. But glad you found someone.



    Good luck!
