About this listen

Most people think a “detail” is a quick wash, a little shine, and you are back on the road. Robin Barkdull does not play that game. He tells the truth about what real detailing actually is, why it takes hours, and why “I can do that in my driveway” is not the same as restoring and protecting a car at a higher standard. In this conversation,

Robin breaks down pricing in a way that feels human, not salesy. He talks about time, labor, overhead, product quality, and the hidden stuff customers never see, like lighting, training, and temperature controlled work that has to be done right or it is not worth doing at all. And he shares the hard lesson every service business learns sooner or later: sometimes you quote 10 hours and it turns into 40, and your reputation still has to win.
