    I used to detail repossesed bikes for a friend. You definately get them in all conditions.

    I don`t do this for a living. He kept bugging me because he`s seen how I maintain my own bike. Kind of how you wound up doing it I certainly charged him more than other people did. He wanted me to do it because the better looking the bike the better chances of getting top dollar at sale. He figures he made up for the extra cost of detailing plus some.

    If the credit union brings up the fact that you cost more, remind them that clean cars bring more money.

    Definitely a good point to raise; and actually I got the feeling that the credit union already knows this. My neighbor made it sound like he`s been doing this stuff for quite some time, so I`m sure he`s noticed that by now.

    Repo`d bikes sounds like quite a fun job, too. Although I`m sure the charge is a premium since there`s lots of chrome and tight spaces involved!

    Anyway, I`m excited to get the opportunity... we`ll just have to see how it goes

    You probably would like to make a seperate pricing guide for these cars .

    not every one will be a full detail right ? maybe some quick clean ups .

    use your pricing guide to negotiate each extyra service you do . That way
    you and your neighbor can keep a fair business and working relationship.

    Congrats , You`ll most likely get some of the credit union employees calling for some detailing.
