Detail Operations Mathematical Dollar & Cents Equations:


Why Have Your Detailers Trained?

Non trained detailers produce not only a lower quality detail they cost you 30-40% in additional labor charges per detailing service.

In dollars & cents - that equates to $6,000.00 - $8,000.00 dollars per year - per detailer in wasted operational costs.

Why Have Your Detailing Facility Organized?

Non organized task orientated detail facilities cost you 10-15% in additional labor costs.

On a 500 vehicle per year detail operation with an average detail charge of $75.00 per unit or $37,500.00
Not having a well organized facility will cost you $3,700.00 - $5,500.00 a year in wasted labor time.

Why Have An Accountability Detailer System In Place?

#1 Expense in detailing is your labor costs - time spent completing the detailing task compared to the detailing service charge.
Tracking your detailers service production on a day by day bases is essential.

Detail operations without an accountability detailer system spend 20-40% above excepted detail hour service flag rates.
Internal flag rate of $40.00 for a specific detail task cost you $55.00 to $90.00 to perform.
When the detailers are not accountable for their detailing tasks performance this number can easily become out of control.

In dollars & cents this can easily equate to tens of $1,000.00's of dollars in wasted labor costs.

It is not unusual for us to see (in fact it is the norm in most cases) a detail hour rate of 100 hours per week required.
Yet the payroll reflects a 150 to 200 hours of detail service pay.

In dollars & cents - this equates to $500.00 to $1,000.00 dollars per week - $25,000.00 - $50,000.00 per year.

Lets say: for argument sakes - each of your detailers are only over 10 detail hours per week. (Barely nothing right?)

In dollars & cents this is costing you $100.00 per week - $5,000.00 plus per year - per detailer.
2 - detailers = $10,000.00 per year combined
3 - detailers = $15,000.00 per year combined

Why should I have a Hot Water Extractor?

First off - nothing compares to a hot water extractor - not to mention the time saving process.
Just compare a carpet cleaning upholstery business not having a extracting machine system - buckets and soap by hand - just doesn't get it.

In dollars & cents a high quality hot water extractor with attachments will cost you roughly $2,200.00 complete.
Minimum 5 year depreciation or 260 weeks this unit would cost you $8.46 per week. (5 year complete warranty)
(Average floor time 7 - 10 years) (Cleaning comparison - no contest to hand cleaning)

In dollars & cents a commercial hot water extractor saves 15 - 20 minutes per interior detailing.
You save an average of $2.00 per detail - 500 vehicles per year = $1,000.00
5 Years Savings $5,000.00 - cost $2,200.00 you save $2,800.00 minimum - $560.00 per year savings.

Your actual cost of $8.46 per week  - detailing 20 vehicles per week - extractor cost $00.42 per vehicle - not to mention
your labor savings - but most importantly - the quality of the interior detail.
