MAINTENANCE PLANS

MAINTENANCE DETAILING

Maintenance detailing is simply a scheduled, regular car detailing that happens on a consistent basis. How consistent that scheduled detailing is will vary customer to customer, however in order for it to be considered a maintenance detail, it must take place within a maximum time of two months or eight weeks. A maintenance detail is naturally cheaper then a regular full detail because it happens on a consistent basis, and the car does not have enough time to get dirty enough to charge the regular full price. Because of this a maintenance detail does not include the full extent of services that a full detail includes, simply because all services are not necessary for a maintenance detail. In other words, one specific service that is left out of a maintenance detail is carpet shampoo. This may be obvious, but carpets do not need to be shampooed on such a regular basis because they are not left to get dirty enough to need that service. It is for reasons like these that many of our clients are on a maintenance detail plan, because not only do you get your car detailed/cleaned on a regular basis, but it is also much cheaper than a regular detail.

WHY A MAINTENANCE PLAN

There are several advantages to being on a maintenance detail plan, beginning with the most obvious, it is cheaper! Because the car is detailed on a regular basis, it does not require the same amount of product, effort, and cleaning that a one-time customer’s car requires, and it is for this reason that a maintenance plan does not cost the same amount as the standard full detail cost. One thing that we like to tell all of my customers is “Maintenance is better than the cure.” This is probably very self explanatory, but most people leave their cars to collect so much dirt that by the time we show up, it cannot be restored to perfection, or “Like new condition.” Just like a regular check up at the doctor’s office keeps you from getting sick, and prevents serious disease, a regular detail on a car will keep it in the like new, or showroom condition because dirt is not allowed to sit for an extended period of time, and therefore does not become a permanent part of the car. Just like anything else in life, regularly cleaning your cars interior and exterior will inevitably extend the life of the car, and not to mention, will  increase its value if you decide to trade it in. 

PRICING VARIABLES

For the most part, Razor Sharps maintenance detailing rules and prices are very concrete, however there are some variables that exist in different situations. we have some maintenance detail customers who keep their cars in such incredible condition that we actually cut them a little bit of a deal in their specific pricing, however they are also extremely regular customers who understand the value that we bring to the table, and therefore keep Razor Sharp as their number one detailer. On the other side of that, we have maintenance customers who bring dogs, kids, and other things inside their cars that quickly cause the car to get very dirty. In cases like these, the maintenance detail price may increase to a certain degree in order to compensate for the extra dirt, and therefore attention, time, and product that we have to provide on the detailing end. This does not happen very often, and is normally limited to maintenance vehicles that we see less often, in other words the maintenance vehicles that we treat every 7 to 8 weeks. Because they are left for a longer period of time before we can get back to them, and they are carting around several kids and/or pets, they tend to get much dirtier much quicker, but once again, that is not the usual case. We also have regular clients who do not have kids or pets, and that tends to translate into an extremely clean car pretty much year round, no matter how long it has been since the last time we took care of it. In other words, some clients we have keep there cars so clean that if we come every week or every 6 months, the condition of the car remains the same, and therefore we do not hold them to the “8 week policy.” we will charge those clients the same amount that we charge for a standard monthly maintenance plan, even though we may only see the car every 3 months, simply because the car is in the same exact condition as it would be if we saw it every week.
