Take the quality of the service into account as well. If the detailer went above and beyond, throw them an extra 1-5%. If they did the bare minimum, keep it at 10%.
For clarity, the attendants are the folks who show up at the end of an automated wash to dry and/or vacuum your vehicle. Keep in mind, the recommendations here are baselines. If you want to tip more for great service, go for it!
If you’ve got a smaller vehicle but an attendant does a really good job and you want to tip more, $5 is considered a generous tip.
There’s nothing rude about asking how someone would like to be tipped. In fact, the employees will probably appreciate the consideration!
