What could I have done different, I am very angry over a customer issue.....

X2 if anything, when you have 3 vehicles from one client. Offer one free wash for all three.
I disagree politely.why do you have to give anything for free?. When you go to a restaurant for a table of 7'do they give a free meal.The answer would be no.Deos your local mechanic give you free brake pads cause your a good customer.stand your ground on pricing and don't give anything for free.This is pure labor not a slice of pizza.
 
You've had one complaint in 3 years? I'd say you are doing pretty well. To me, what matters is how well are you doing overall. Are you making good money? If yes, then keep doing what you are doing, your instincts are good, don't change your approach to business because of one customer. If you're in business, you're going to get taken once in a while, that's all there is to it. Happens to me. I run my own business (not detailing). I place a certain amount of trust in customers, they appreciate it, they reciprocate. This also results in me getting screwed over occasionally. The question is, what's best for my long-term revenue? Plan A: Gains me 8 long-term customers, but one screws me over. Plan B: Gains me 4 long-term customers, but nobody screws me over. I choose plan A, it's best for business overall. But everyone has to do what suits their personality best.
