[imported_eLrEyNaDa]

I everyone,

I want to know how many cars you do in a year, i'm asking this question because i'm presently checking the number of full detail i do in my first year of full time detailer and i want to what i can inspect for the futur if i can only do this job.



PS sorry for my bad english

I do alot of other work other than full details, but full details for me should hit somewhere around 200 - that also includes repeat.

I average around 900 cars a year, about half being weekly wash customers (includes regular waxing too) and the rest are a mix of full details, exterior details and interior details.

as I work full time here in the UK, and have set up so far and work only on my days off I have currently done 35 full details, with a waiting list/booked ahead list of around 10 to do between Saturday and end of Nov.

My shop averages about 6000 vehicles per year. Mostly consisting of full details with some ala carte interior/exterior cleanups. Full service washes and smaller jobs not included.

Thanks. Actually we're officially open Monday thru Friday and weekends are for catching up and appointments. We do about 25 full vehicle details per day.

What is you average gross per car?





I have a smaller shop, 2 inside bays and space to work on ~2 outside when it is nice. It is very seasonal here though with ~5 slow months. Busy season I'll have 5-6 employees, slow 1-3. I'll end up doing close to 700 details and 800 hand washes this year.

I do alot of wholesale dealer work and the average is about $85 for a complete detail. Volume, volume, volume. It all adds up at the end of the year.

There's nothing wrong with that business model at all. Sounds like yours is thriving, congrats!
