Minimum pricing is set for various reasons, one including ensuring the standard of preparation and application is to a high standard. As price decreases, profit margins also decrease. You will see in many industries, this then has an effect on the end product.
Our Opti-Coat dealers do not dictate the terms to us, and that is not the case here. The reason for the set pricing is for the above reasons and no others.
Dealers are entitled to include additional items at their discretion such as applying left over product to wheels and/or other surfaces however this is something we will also monitor over time to ensure the correct amount of coating is applied to the painted surfaces.

Hey Joel @
OPT
Minimum pricing is great... but what about maximum pricing.
I would love to Opti-coat my car... but in Perth your one and only dealer charges $775 - granted its for 2 coats, but I'm guessing 1 coat would only save $100 because he charges an extra $100 for a 3rd coat. That price, that is way more than east coast dealers charge has made me decide not to opti-coat my car.
Maybe you need some competition here...
