Love the energy !!! It's awesome to see the next generation! Keep up the good work!

You'll be successful no matter what industry you end up in. Your attitude and the way you carry yourself is pretty unheard of in people your age. Great videos man!

I remember when I first started detailing I charged $35 for interior detail but I also learned a lot. Good video

4:28-5:05 is all you need to hear if your wondering if starting a business is right for you. If you don’t feel this same way then move on to a new idea. That was simply Gold.

This is something I've been struggling with because I didn't know what to charge the customer, amazing video man and also very helpful! It cleared a lot of things up for me!

I agree. I haven't ever made more money until I started running my own detail business. Jobs were ALWAYS horrible pay!!!!! Now I make more money than I ever have done with a job. I average out SOOOOO MUCH MORE MONEY per hour in my detail business than even the best job I ever had, which was a great job, however it still doesn't compare to my business. The beauty of being a Capitalist. Business mindset.

I'd like to meet your father. He raised the only person from your generation I would listen to for guidance in my new venture! Keep yourself grounded and your going to accomplish literally anything you choose. Great videos,,,,

I always said i wanted to get into the detail business but always afraid what to charge especially in a city like mine where you do not see many mobile detailing and everyone is used to do a touch less wash but new years resolution is to stop thinking of the ifs and do it . This is step one . Thank you. I Subbed.

I am in the process of starting my own business in detailing. Thank you for explaining this so well. I have watched many videos and you make me really understand

You brought up a good point about people trying to bully you to lower your prices, that is so true👍🏻

To 100,000 a year now. Good job man can't wait for the meeting tomorrow 🙌

Thanks Luke! I'm putting together a strategy on starting my own mobile detailing business, and this video really helps get things in order! Thanks again!!

I own a plumbing company in Tx...the sales process/customer relations is the same in all different types of businesses...great video

I have definitely felt those bully customers that's for sure. I'm only about 4 months into being on my own so definitely still struggling when I'm talking to a customer because I need the customers and feel sometimes they know that. Good thing is I know it won't always be like that. Thanks for the encouragement.

Very intelligent, informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and energy with us. I learned a lot!

This video help me to really made me decide regarding what am charging, cause here in PR really like to bully and ask for discounts. Thank You for this suggestion.

You have a great attitude towards your business in a good respectful way and you for sure are making sure your time isn't wasted or the customers ether I really want to get into the detailing business start my business up I love detailing cars it's fun for me I hope I can do it just gotta figure out all I need for it

Luke, You are an excellent business person. Your business tips, values and setting your price etc. applies to any business. Your observation and negotiation basics are very sound....enjoying your videos! Thank you!

This Guy is going to go far ... welldone ...highly recomment 10 out of 10

Hey Luke this is Steven, I've been detailing cars for a while, but I'm kind of at KZfaq University right, and I'm not going to lie I'm most likely click on all your videos, just wanted to let you know you've helped me a lot I've learned a lot from you I've watched almost all of your videos and I like what you're doing,

Heyyy, I’m fourteen. My name is Sebastian! I’m from Chicago and I’m moving to Arizona. I want to start a car detailing business. I’ve been watching so many guides on how to detail. I want to come into this industry with the right equipment, techniques, and knowledge. I love it when I see a super clean car, so it’s going to be satisfying to see a dirty car transform into a clean one that is practically eye candy. I’m thankful for the internet because I do not know anyone who details cars for a living. I was wondering if you could sent me a list of all the products I need to get started. I’m going to check out your channel for any tutorials that might be of use. Thanks a lot, much love from Chicago 💛😄

I like how you broke that down man, big fan of your work

Hey I just started my business with mobile detailing and changing breaks. I find it so hard for me to stay firm with my price because I’m such a nice guy and Sometimes people like to take advantage of that by trying to talk me down in price because of their personal issues. Thanks for helping me figure out what to do or say in those situations. Keep up the great vids!!

Young man, you defiantly have your stuff on the ball. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work sir. God bless

I think your awesome!!! I've been in business for 14 years and u r on point!!! Good job great video

I greatly appreciate this video. Im new to all this and I’m in process of starting a mobile detailing co so this video definitely helps out. I’m relatable to your videos since I’m out here in mid tn. Thanks 🤛🏻

You have a good logic. I also usually charge a set price based on the average amount of time it has taken me to do that type of vehicle in the past. From there I look at the vehicle and adjust price/time required to complete the job. Then like I said I over estimate a bit on the price/time that way when I get done earlier and it costs them less they feel like they got a good deal. What I have learned is that if a person is not willing to give u the money and time with their vehicle in order to do the job right then they either don't want a "detail" they just want a clean up which is not the same at all and most customers don't understand that. If someone really values your skills and wants the job done right then they won't have a problem letting u keep their vehicle for as long as it takes(within reason). If someone doesn't like the price or time that I quote them I politely suggest that they go to a detail (shop) with multiple people working on each vehicle and pay double what I charge. Have a nice day! Lol

I’m not into the detailing business but swimming pools businesses and I agree with you in a lot of stuff you’re saying! Keep it up man!!! Great channel

Nice video I was trying to find one about your prices! Perfect detail and your really helping people out there with your videos appreciate your time!

Great advice Luke. These same communication skills can be applied to the Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning industry.

Mr. Wilson I changed $ 30 a hour I live in Tulsa Oklahoma prices are cheap but I been detailing over forty years and I will like to do it myself from wet sanding old school supplies compound to bring your vehicle's back to shine

great info! I wasnt sure where to start with prices because Im new and didnt want to charge like the pros do around here. Now at least I understand the logic behind the pricing for me plus I dont want to undercut to much. love the video thanks a bunch.

excellent advice / instruction bro.

Excellent video. Couple of weeks ago i decided to get trained on detailing fir myself, but i ended thinking on a second income. Your video answer some if my questions. Keep going.

Who gets the top bunk?

Very good information and I love the part where you say don’t let them bully you on your price but you also have to think about the wear and tear on your vehicle as well not just your tools. Also, you have to worry about taxes at the end of year to a lot of people forget about that you have taxes to pay on every dollar you make it’s just the way it is, so in all honesty yes, you have to charge a higher rate for the taxes and the wear and tear on your vehicle. You have to understand you have to put tires brakes oil changes maintenance on your vehicle gas in your tank to get back-and-forth to these peoples houses all that Has to be factored in not just your tools With me, I would do a wash and wax for $120 flat rate. If you want your interior done it’s an extra 80 bucks. so in total I believe that is 200. I believe if I have my math, correct I honestly think that is a honest price after you factor in tools wear and tear on your vehicle gas for your vehicle product prices are going up at an all-time high. Everything is going up the wax I used to buy honestly used to cost me 11 bucks now it cost me 15 and some change prices are at an all time high there’s nothing we can do and honestly down here in Florida where I’m at you will sweat your ass off it’s just the nature of the business never short change yourself, and just like this young man has said never let them bully you into lowering your price you know what you are. worth know your work for example my wife works for a transport company. She works in the office I went and talk to one of her bosses. Her boss had told me that she has a Detailing company that comes in and does all her vehicles for $80 a vehicle that’s everything wash wax clean the interior vacuum, she also mentioned that they also do her truck wash wax vacuum, clean the interior for $100. The company also owns a couple of transport buses. She didn’t tell me what they charge to do those but she says it’s pretty expensive. I looked at my wife and I looked at her and I said well they have me beat on the price because I definitely can’t charge you 80 bucks to do a whole vehicle interior and out I’m not working for free. She asked me do you carry your own water tank I said no I’d have to use your power and your water. She said well they use their own water and I believe they use their own power and that’s when I told her if I had that stuff, I would charge you way more than $200 that’s why I only want to charge you 200 for each vehicle but anyway I decided to move on because she was actually trying to beat me down from $80 what her other Detailing company does not worth it know your worth I am definitely not doing a whole car or a van for 80 bucks. It’s not enough money.

Awesome job.

I appreciate you & your energy! Thank you for the tips!

Thanks Bro Wilson ... You inspired me again to stand up for what I am worth💪

I always time myself on my mom's big escalade. I'll do the highest detail I offer and time myself in every section. I can get done in about 8 hours on a medium soiled car. So I know I can probably shave an hour or 2 off a decent car and add an hour or 2 on a heavy soiled car

Best video I've seen on target pricing thanks again.

Found your channel researching names for my mobile set up. I live on Wilson st. Lol

I am that 14 year old kid who is struggling to find business i charge 20 ill lower it to a minimum of 15 and some is always trying to bargain with me, so this video helped qlot thank you.

Wasn't sure if I'd be a sub but after this I definitely am, best/most informative video I've seen of you

First video I have seen and did subscription and like. Regards from Mexico. Really good video

Great video kid! I'm ancient @ 51 years old& detailing too

I've had that problem. There's been a 3 wave price change throughout the years. I'm where I need to be now in price and the new customer have no problem paying it. But some of the old customers are lost and it happens. I just keep it moving 👉💪🚘🚘🚘

yes exactly, i get people tying to low ball me all the time..One customer told me what he wanted to pay..needless to say hes not my customer anymore..Thanks Luke :)

So what I’m saying is just get the right tools and set prices where you feel your giving your customer a great deal and that you can feel good about after the job is done and replenish your supplies after it’s all said and done and repeat

Great tips. Thanks Luke!

Great fucking video Luke. I’m gonna have to watch this a few more times to tattoo it in my brain

great video luke, is possible to give a customer a list of your service prices and let them pick what they want done. example like headlights $20.00 tires & clean shine $15.00 leather & vinyl cleaning $25.00 black trim $ 40.00 hand wax $15.00 etc... what do you and your thoughts thanks luke keep them videos coming...

Great video bro . I put together packages and charge by the package . but I have to take location into account setting my prices .

Nice pricing info! Figuring out pricing based on location and market is hard... but its nice to see your thoughts!

Nice video man, thanks for the tips very helpful ☺☺

Hey Luke respect to you keep up good work and stay awesome

Even not knowing everything that a pro detailer knows I understand everything you just said and I charge a reasonable price that under cuts everyone else and the look I produced is a professional clean look I still give a reasonable price and I’m still able to gain profit but customer services is number one so with presenting a reasonable price to me that’s good customer service and then everything else falls into place I feel that if I was to go full time I would rake up but there are people like you said that are trying to get something great for nothing and I’ve had people hate on me for my prices because they know they are screwing people out of money that’s there problem

How do you organize your scheduling? Do you use an app like house call pro or something like that???

Awesome

Great video. I'm thinking of starting a mobile detailing business in my area so I'm searching for as much info as I can. I'm struggling with pricing and product. I can use all the help I can get.

Thanks Luke! Can you make a video on how you get the grease/product clean out of your tire dressing or protectant out from your applicator pads and towels. Also, I have compound dried up on my black DA Griot's Garage Pad that hasn't come out after 5 washes!

A Motor Trader once told me, Never worry how bad a car looks, You can always make the Glass Shine.

Thank you bro , keep up the good videos

£ 60 qd a day working for a car dealer . From just wash/wax dry , wheels cils to mini /full vailts . From 2 up to 5 car /vans 4b4

Do you have report the money u make every year on taxes an how does that work how much do you have to put aside also do you have to report earning even when starting off ?

Great video good tips thank you for those greets from holland

Do you up charge for black vehicles? Black seems to need way more attention or work especially in the heat!

I have a price worksheet. And then vehicle sizes effect percentages. Coupes 80% sedans and small crossovers 100% trucks 120% and large suvs 140%. The percentage is put it for each individual 'result produced' idk if that makes sense

So hourly rate can be a little off.. Because of getting supplies together, mixing, set up, break down, washing things excetera excetera.

EXCELLENT video!

How much do you typically charge for a car wash? And a interior detail? Separate prices.

Looking to start a detailing business in the future. What has been your best results on marketing/advertising? Also is it worth it to get certified through a school, will that allow me to charge more? Thanks

good stuff brofessor

Awesome video

Great info bro!

Great advice. You have a new subscriber.

Lol dude ik this came out like 3years ago but just the video i needed to see😂

Appreciate your videos! Please do a video on how to remove ink from a pen from a lite colored headliner. Thanks!

Great video but 14 minutes and you never told us what you charge people. I would love a video of I charge $100 for the S 200 for this 300 for this. I have recently started doing detailing and I'm dying to know what other people charge

Hey Luke great advice for any service. My l question is do you ozone generators for sanitizing or deodorizing? Your opinion on what size and what to charge as a single service?

Thanks for the advice, also you look like the actor Dylan obrien look him up haha.

How do you calculate the cost of tools gas and supplies?

Hey could you answer this for me please I'm just starting off and I'm thinking of pricing and getting customer and I've seen a few video including your and some say too get your first customers go to friends, family or neighbours and give them a seriously big discount so that they'll give you a good review and share your info with other people well my question is how do you know they will tho?? Because you might do the service and give them the discount and then wot if they don't mention you too there friends or others or write a review??

What is the best way to to determine cost of product/wear and tear to figure out how much your monthly expenses are for products?

Luke what are you using to dry the cars

You’re a born entrepreneur

I would think,after doing 6 to 12 cars,your own,do some relatives cars and different types of vehicles,sedans,coupes,mini vans,and pick ups,you'd get an idea how long it took and the other costs,so you could actually quote jobs.

I usually over estimate based on the amount of time I know I can complete the job in....then if it takes less time to complete I adjust the price.

I'd hang up if you answered the phone and said that to me. You can tell what your saying is "before I say the price let me warn you it's high"

I don't know where you live at but people don't pay like that around here, but I do charge according to the condition and size of the vehicles... On average it takes me 3 hrs

Hey Luke! When you offer an exterior wash, do you use a spray wax or liquid? I’m starting my business out and trying to figure out what to offer here in NY 😊

Actually seeing this video 3 years after memorial day😂

You should make a video about your strategy for juggling college and detailing

great video, very helpful

love your youtube channel and detailing tips! I am also a detailer! What cameras do you use to record? Great footage

Great info kid ,

Am starting at this and charge 70 if the car is not that bad but definitely I will charge more if the car is really nasty.....am ok .Whit that price. Help me please

Hi Luke! Can you do a video on headliners? Do's and don'ts? :-D

Bit arrogant, but at least you are honest. And that in and of itself is valuable.

I am startIng my small detail business. I am charging $85 for full interior 2dr & 4dr and $120 trucks suv vans. you think is too expensive?
