She makes a 100k a year and drives an 02 accord. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

wtf is with people thinking that just because you make alot of money you have to spend it? My dad makes $140k+ year and you'd NEVER know it. My folks horde money. He gets a $500/month car allowance from work and drives an 02 Trailblazer. My mom drives an '03 F-150. Not '07 BMWs.

"the best way to make money is to save it"....ring a bell?

Back on topic,

I say she knows what it's like to be in your position. If she's a pharmacist she likely struggled through school, too. On top of that, x2 on trust. She thinks you do a good job so she chooses to pay you extra. I'd act very very appreciative and take it. To her, $100 is worth having her car detailed by someone she trusts, and at the same time, she's helping you out.

most detail shops (depending on what kind of detail you get) charge from 100-200$ easy. shes still getting a deal at 100. take the money.

Shit, I wish, I wish I could detail my car in an hour and a half. I spend some good quailty time with my rides, about 4 hours a piece. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I know it is terrible, but I usually prep, wash, hand dry, wax, then wax again, then do interior, then mirrors, then rims. This is all hand wash and hand wax though. Plus I have two cars.

I am usually exhasuted for the rest of the week, lol!

Opps, forgot to answer your question, lol!

No, I dont think you are ripping her off being it costs like the one guy mentioned around 100-200 at a good shop. Only thing I would wonder about is how you get done so fast and what the car looks like at the end of that.

F*ck that take as much as she offers


she must be living in a mansion 100G a ****ing year

Living in California, I thought you would know that 100k isnt that much at all...
My brother makes 100K, plus his wifes salary (maybe 40k?) They live VERY comfortable, but they don't live in a mansion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If you really want advice...

Don't ask a forum for advice.

I say tell her that 75 is enough. If she gives you the extra 25 anyway simply say "thank you". Keep detailing her car and always do it just as well as other times. Who knows, she may tell some friends or colleagues and you can get more customers.

you are correct sir.

I used to detail cars for a living while i was in h.s.

the car looks fine when i get done, it's just so small and she keeps it so clean on her own, plus after i've done it a few times it get easier and easier to do it. I've spent 4+ on my truck but that's cause i dont' do it that often.....

I guess if she offers it i'll take it-I have a truck payment, ins, phone so the $$ is badly needed, lol.
