Review of Packages and Pricing

I'm sure, I was born and raised in SoCal and then moved eastward to be closer to the wife's family. We are in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I believe my last post sent before I could finish typing

Hay all still new to the site. All the Package I see this is USA right?
I'm in Canada I cant make a go at that price.
But maybe your cars clean what I get here. I'm not here to brag. shop rent is over $3500.00 mouth this ballpark on prices.
The Exterior Crown 160.00- 250.00 The Interior Crown 90.00-250.00 The Crown Royale 100.00hr or if I do as a packet 400.00 to 3500.00 + some truck come in just to was 350.00 . some are so trash one day just to clean the inside of the cab Oli trucks 2 days.
 
Ya very low prices... you won't be making any money and you will burn yourself off.

Consider that you have to spend time going to the customer and back. On average for me that is 1 to 2 hours commute for a detail.

Then you have to setup your equipment and put it away, at least 30 mins total for that.

When you get home you have to wash microfiber towels, clean your polishing pads, and all that maintenance stuff.

Then you have to do the accounting for your day.

If you are making 20$ per hour on the job (which by my calculation is about what you are gonna be making), after all the extra stuff (not counting time you spend on the phone with customers and the time to advertise) you will be lucky if you make minimum wadge.

I would strongly suggest you re-evaluate your pricing!
 
To make any money in my area and not get a sloppy job done, its a 300 dollar minimum for paint correction. Why? The labor, product purchasing,time spent etc. Again it depends on your area but you should be charging around there as I feel it would help you where needed
 
At $50 or even $60 you are way undercharging. What you describe as your single crown package will go for $89 around here without wax. Your low prices may get you some curious first time customers but you will put in a lot of hours with little income to show for it. You seem like a conscientious business owner focused on providing quality work. Never sell yourself short. You are worth so much more.
 
I think your prices are very low. I would probably raise your prices by 30-50%. you are only starving yourself at those prices. You should definitely take into consideration the time everything takes and don't underestimate that time.
