Son’s Car

Dear Ken,

My son’s 2000 Infinity is a mess.  He doesnt take care of it and he smokes inside.  He rides in it with his freinds and it just stinks.  He is going away to college and I really want to get it detailed, but is it really worth the money to detail it?

Dear Frustrated Dad,

I understand your concern, and from the sound of things you will need an all or nothing top to bottom restorative auto detail.  The complete auto detail for $189 covers most of it, with an additional $75 for me to buff the paint out.  So herein lies the problem.  You are comparing the cost of my service to the cost of your car and not even looking at the real value in this.

As parents, it is frustrating to teach a teenager anything.  Your child is driving Depression on Wheels and yet he is unwilling to do anything about this .  He has become comfortable in his own comfortable mess.  He no longer knows what it feels like to own a clean car for any length of time.  This is a condition that will fester into other areas of his life if it hasn’t already.  Imagine how he would feel to come back to a car that was cleaned and restored.  Now I am not promising miracles here, as he will probably mess it up again in weeks.  However, over time, and with a proper maintenance package, the teenager will gradually get used to the feeling of a clean car and become grateful for it.  Gratefulness leads to Stewardship.  The lesson of Stewardship is priceless.  This is the true value of my work, don’t you agree?
