(more) I think customers perceptions are always leaning towards businesses charging to much , but in reality they have no idea what your cost of operating actually is. Sad but I don’t think there is a fix for your problem here. I do think as long as customers are treated with compassion and respect that goes a long way. You should be able to give them some idea if not an agreed price before they start. By doing this the question is taken out of this transaction on the front end and not the tail end. Better outcome.

Really depends on what your customer retention is at the time. It depends on what you are doing for marketing? I would caution you to be careful with that as the tow company may bait and switch from time to time. Today’s price for a job may not be tomorrow’s.  Many variables . Best of luck.

Doing my very best to focus on marketing and sales. This thing is growing or dieing. Even if it’s staying even it’s dieing. You should want to get your business in its best financial situation that you can. If you sell it or pass it on to the next generation it must be healthy!  (more) Doing my very best to focus on marketing and sales. This thing is growing or dieing.

Custom paint may be the issue. Your market may not be able to afford nor want much custom work. My thoughts are to look more at simple Collision repairs and do any custom work as an addendum.  (more) Custom paint may be the issue. Your market may not be able to afford nor want much custom work.
