Multiple Car client pricing question

Due to helping out a friend with his WRX, he passed my name along to his dad who's the VP of Kraftmaid a cabnet company here in Ohio. Anyway, his dad has 4 cars and a custom motorcyle that he's very interested in getting done by me on a 3 month basis to keep the finish up (I'm going to try and get him on at least a bi-weekly wash so I can keep an eye on things and to discourage him from going to the car wash). Anyway, the line up is the following: Escalade ESV, Escalade, PT Cruiser, SL-500 and the custom bike. My main question is what do you guys do when you have a customer that has multiple cars detailed by you? I'm also trying to figure out the pricing on these. Any input would be great. I'm suppose to hear from this guy today and from what I hear he's friends with alot of wealthy people and that could mean good referrals.



Any help would be great.
 
Personally, I would not focus too much on discounting the price. I would quote the prices that you normally charge for those types of vehicles and then give your customer more than they expect. Just do a good quality job and your customer will be more than glad to pay your price.

Exactly right. People with high end cars are more focused on the quality of work as opposed to price (provided you aren't trying to gouge them). You also might want to set it up so you detail one every 3 to 4 weeks so you don't end up with a sun-up to sun-down day trying to do them all at once. Besides, you can just wash the others while you are there, right?
 
I agree with both of you on this. Once I hear back from him I'm going to try and set up doing a detail once a week to begin with and then space them out more after that. From what I'm told, he doesn't drive the SL all that often so I might be able to schedule that one the latest and the others around it. I haven't quite figured it all out yet. Hopefully I'll hear back from him soon, because fall here in Ohio is about to start and it'll be getting colder quickly.
