I've got a repeat customer who is the referal of a really good customer who wants me to get some fall detailing done for him. We are talking clay, polish, sealant, engine, interior... the works. He wants it done on a 996 Porsche, an H2, and a Toyota Land Cruiser. His vehicles are likely not trashed, but they are all going to require the minimum amount of time to do a complete detail. The H2 and Land Cruiser are likely going to be five or six hour jobs apiece. I've got an interior detailer who will be doing those on all three, so I am hoping that I can get them all done in a day and a half.
So my question is, what would you charge? Typically I would charge $160 for the Porsche, $240 for the H2 and probably $240 for the Land Cruiser too. $600+ would be a nice day for sure, but I don't know if that is enough or too much. I hate HATE hate doing H2s. There is way too much real estate on those suckers. I don't want to wind up making $20/hr on these jobs, but I don't want to screw a friend of a great customer. So I'm having a little bit of a dilema. What do you guys think?
Oh, and he lives about 30 minutes away as well, so I would be traveling a couple hours if I have to go there twice. That sort of factors in too. Do I charge him for travel and cut him a deal on the jobs, or free travel and normal fees for the jobs. Aragahhh!! I hate this part of the job....
