Network Offset Pricing for Auto Detailing

| Basic Wash + Interior | $75.00 | $78.00 |
| Full Detail | $250.00 | $260.00 |

| Ceramic Coating | $1,500.00 | $1,560.00 |
| Monthly Maintenance Plan | $100.00 | $104.00 |
Why it works: Detailing is a premium, elective service. Customers choosing $1,500 ceramic coating aren't price-sensitive at the margin. Mobile detailers present both prices on the invoice. Monthly maintenance plans convert to ACH.
