How to use this detailing price calculator
Start with the service type, then adjust for vehicle size and condition. Add any extra work like pet hair, stain extraction, odor treatment, clay bar, or polishing. The calculator estimates time, material cost, profit, and a recommended price range.
The target price is the number most detailers should quote. The low price is useful when the job is simple or you are filling a schedule gap. The premium price makes sense when demand is high, the vehicle is difficult, or the customer wants priority scheduling.
Why pricing matters for detailing businesses
Underpricing is one of the fastest ways to stay busy and still feel broke. A good price menu should account for labor, product cost, travel, vehicle size, and condition. It should also be simple enough for customers to understand before they book.
Once your pricing is dialed in, add your packages to Buffr so customers can book online, choose add-ons, pay deposits, and get automated reminders.
