Do you tip mobile detailers?

Tipping mobile detailers isn't required, but it's a common way to show appreciation for quality service, especially when they go above and beyond.

Overall, mobile car detailers go above and beyond to exceed customer expectations. And in most cases, the extra mile makes you well-deserving of a generous tip. Now, the next question that you may ask next follows from here – how much is a respectable tip?

Mobile Car Detailing Tipping – Percentage Breakdowns

The general rule of thumb boils down to following the 15% "rule." All in all, a standard tip for a good auto detailing service should be about 15% of what the total service cost was.

For example, if you had a mobile detailing service that cost $100, a $15 tip would be appropriate.

Keep in mind that the 15% rule of thumb is a standard base to help you know what to expect. However, If your work was lacklustre with their service, then they can tip less - 10%, 5%, or not at all. Alternatively, if the mobile detailer was superb, then a tip of 20% or more may be appropriate. Tipping is discretionary and you should not rely on tips to pay your wages. Rather look to them as an added bonus for doing a good job.
