WHY PRICING MATTERS
A busy calendar can still be an unprofitable business.
Revenue is not take-home pay. Chemicals, fuel, card fees, setup time, admin, insurance, and equipment wear all come out before you get paid. A quote should cover the entire job—not just the hours beside the vehicle.

Why a $200 booking can leave almost no business profit.
Consider a four-hour full detail with $120 of owner labor, $24 of supplies, $15 of travel, $20 of allocated overhead, and a 3% card fee. The numbers below show why revenue alone can be misleading.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Pricing questions, answered.
How does the calculator set a recommended price?+
It starts with your labor, supplies, travel, card fees, and overhead. Then it adds the profit margin you choose. The result is a floor you can defend—not a copied competitor price.
Are the suggested prices market averages?+
No. They are built from your costs and time. Local demand, your experience, vehicle access, and the quality of your work still matter.
Can I use this for ceramic coatings and paint correction?+
Yes. Choose the service, adjust the estimated hours and product cost, then add any preparation work. Always confirm the vehicle in person before a high-ticket correction or coating.
Does this replace an inspection?+
No. Photos and customer descriptions can miss pet hair, staining, overspray, mold, or paint defects. Use the result as a quote draft and state what could change the final price.
Is the Pricing Kit a subscription?+
No. It is a one-time $9 digital download delivered through Ko-fi after purchase.
