Car Detailer Invoicing FAQs
What should a car detailing invoice include?
Include vehicle year/make/model, services performed (wash, clay, polish, wax/sealant/ceramic), interior services (vacuum, shampoo, leather conditioning), any add-ons, product costs, and total. Detailing the services justifies your pricing.
How should car detailers price their services?
Price by vehicle size and service level: basic wash ($30-$75), full exterior detail ($150-$300), full interior ($150-$250), ceramic coating ($500-$2,000+). Adjust for vehicle size — SUVs and trucks command higher rates.
Should auto detailers charge for ceramic coating materials?
Ceramic coating products are expensive ($50-$200+ per vehicle). Most detailers include product costs in the service price rather than itemizing separately. For premium coatings, noting the product brand adds perceived value.
How do mobile detailers handle travel fees?
Charge a flat travel fee ($20-$50) or waive it within a certain radius (10-15 miles). List the travel fee as a separate line item. Some mobile detailers build travel into their pricing and advertise 'free mobile service.'
What payment terms work for auto detailing?
Payment on completion is standard. For high-value services (ceramic coating, paint correction), collect a 50% deposit at booking. For fleet contracts, invoice monthly with Net 15 or Net 30 terms.
