Twice a month (Bi-Weekly) they have asked me to wash all their trucks on the outside (what the public sees, does not have to be detailed), and once a month the engine bays.
Now my question is, am I quoting him a reasonable price, since I have never done them? He asked me to average the prices.
I am looking at possibly $40 / truck, and $27 / engine/transmission
Which would come out to the following amount per month:
$40 * 32 (trucks) = $1280
$40 * 32 = $1280
$27 * 32 = $864
1280 + 1280 + 864 = $3,424 / month.
Does that sound reasonable? Or am I over-pricing / under-pricing?
Any input is welcome (even what chemicals have worked best for you if you have cleaned those things before).
Thanks Guys.

Prices are pretty much on the money for washing if they are willing to pay that.They are inline with the price we were getting on a similar account.Scott Stone will tell you that those are above avergae prices.
The engines and trannys I would charge by the hour.I've herad as much as $90 per hour on that type cleaning.The same goes for washing frames.
I'll warn you ahead of time the smell is unforgettable if you have a weak stomach pass on the job.It's not uncommon to see maggots and God knows what else drizzling out of the truck with compactor bodies.
Give Russ Johnson of Southside Equipment a call and talk with him about Panel Brite.It does a great job on this type of cleaning project.
