Bike Valeting!

£250 to clean 5-6 bikes???

Why did I bother getting a degree and going to all the stress of getting a good job when I can just wash bikes for a living.

Thats feck all, my mate charges £400-£600 to do a full paint correction on a car.

He travels all over, i could ask him how much, he dont normally do bikes but hes done my sv before.

I dont suppose he cleans 5-6 bikes a day everyday.... peaks and troughs?
& I'm hoping its a little more in depth than just a wash.

Mind you, if you want to put your degree to rest and think you can do it for cheaper???

^^ Im with this guy

After much consideration I think I shall decline. I suspect the long term prospects in valeting are somewhat limited.

AutoVal quote £60-70 but said I can book them for the day for £250 and should be able to clean 5-6 bikes in a day pending filthyness.

Trotts Also quoted £60-70 per bike but were a little more cagy on how much discount for a large booking... but did say they could be booked for the day.

I think I could easily find 5-6 bikes for cleaning including yours, when were you thinking of getting it done?

could also be interested. but if mine turned up they would get only 3 done in the day

im a student who needs money ill do it for a £15...full wash polish chain clean and adjust.

Hmm, I tell you what, I'll give you £5 + tea / buiscuits as a taster, inspect your work and if its all good, we'll hire you @ £100 for the day...

Youll see my bike and be amazed i think Ian!

Badgerboi; can you sort rust? I like your rates
