A question we get time and time again is how much do you tip your car wash and detail specialist? Do you tip at all?
Tipping is an important part of many service industries, including car washes. In this article we’ll explore the proper etiquette for leaving tips when you visit a detailing or full-service wash facility like Overland Car Wash and Detail Center located in Culver City.
Tipping Standards
Tipping really should depend on several key things like, the level of service and the quality of service.
It all depends on the quality of service you receive.
Two Dollars: The $2 tip is fine for washing and towel-drying an economy size car.
Three Dollars: The $3 tip is an appropriate tip for getting an economy size car vacuumed on top of the car wash and hand-drying service.
Four Dollars: The $4 tip amount is the standard tip for washing bigger cars (for example vans, SUVs, or trucks). The bigger size of the car calls for a bigger tip.
Five Dollars: This is the standard tip for getting a bigger car washed and vacuumed.
The standard tip for a car detailing service is 15%. If you're not sure how much to give, best practice is 10-15% of the total cost. For example if an auto detail costs $100 then leave a dollar or two as thanks (and because it's still technically called "tipping").
Tipping is by no means mandatory and really should reflect the level of worksmanship and value of the service. A tip shows you appreiciate the service you received.
