My longest standing customers are the most under priced, I would be better dumping the lot and replacing them with new.

My dad had one for about 44 years  and he stopped it as new owners were pain in the neck, little old lady before sadly passed away. And it had a conservatory when he started it was priced at something and 6 in old decimal money and stopped at £25 in the mid 90`s
had a comercial for 41 years and we are still doing one as a company for over 36 years

I've got a lot of customers, maybe as much as half of them, who I've done for over 13 years.
