To big ballas: How much do you tip car detailers?

[Creepn]

I think I can say I'm the first in my family to pay for a full car detail which is near $100. They would also be appalled if they knew I paid that much for something I could do myself for free. ANYWAY, it was my first time and I didn't know what they considered a good tip so I whipped out a wad of cash in front of him and asked, "How much is a great tip?". He told me, " 2 dollars is fine." Sooooooo, I gave him $10. He kinda smiled and said, "Thanks.", and I asked him if that's ok and he said yeah. I couldn't help but feel that he was just being modest or it's just me overreacting. I don't know. Did I stiff this guy?

a hunnid?!

damn breh. I usually go to the eastside and there is this hand carwash spot that does detailing for $50 bucks. they do a damn good job too. they're running a special for a full wash and wax for $20. you can never go wrong with the hood carwash's.

but to answer the question I tip anywhere from $5-10 depending on my mood that day. if i'm fresh from the barbershop then I usually tip $10.

Really? They shampoo your carpets and seats?

[Creepn]

:lmao you paying $100 and you're not even getting your carpets and seats properly cleaned?

:lmao :lmao

No my car was shampoo'd but Trill says he pays 50 and was wondering if they shampoo his carpets and seats as well.

[Trill Clinton]

I have leather seats and they do restore the seats and shampoo the carpet. only downside is having to sit outside in the shade and wait.

Damn I need to go where you go.

[Trill Clinton]

hey man if you built up a good rapport with the people there and you like the service, then stay.

if where I go upped their prices I'd still give them my business.

Where do you n!ggers go?

Shits expensive where I go. http://www.qwikwash.com/#2

i let them keep the loose cocaine they can gather from in between my back seat cushions
You're cheating them since the shit you get is likely 98% baking powder.

[Wild Cobra]

I'd sure like to know where I can get my car detailed for only $100. But yes, 10% sounds appropriate.

Is it possible the workers were illegal aliens?

With the guy who did my car, you could tell English isn't his first language... don't mean he's illegal though. I don't judge.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I leave a clip on the passenger seat -- they know whats up.

[The Reckoning]

if its a 100 doll hair job settle for an old hickory

[BRHornet45]

sons I don't know what I'm more surprised at ... the fact that the guy claimed $2 is a decent tip, or the fact that Creepn actually had the courtesy to tip a server.

You have a better chance of seeing Sasquatch than seeing a black person tipping. Also, since when is a mundane task such as getting ones car detailed an indication of big balla status?

Your racial remark aside, I agree with having a car detailed not a big balla status thing.

[Sportcamper]

20% is reasonable…$10 on a $100 bill is pretty light…
Kick it up to 30% & they will fight to detail your car...

Racial remark aside, I think anybody who can dish out hundreds without hesitation to pay for a mundane task you could do for free is an indication big balla status. Not for everything, but I certianly wouldn't have paid for a car detail years ago. Hell no.

We all know you don't get your Geo Metro detailed so just stop it.

LOL...

I've had me Z28 detailed, and my WS6. $200 bux around here for one of them with their sexy curves. Never had my sedan detailed though.

[Agloco]

Depends on the value of your car IMO. I usually leave 20 for each person.
