Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an auto detail cost?
Most of the time, to get a great auto detail, you will pay between $100-$250. The cost depends on the level of service you are wanting. To really deep clean, it takes some time, equipment and effort. Chances are, we will find that earring you lost in the car - we clean that deeply.
Detailing your car regularly helps maintain the value of your vehicle. But more than that, you spend 11 days a year in your car - that's why it gets dirty and that's really why it should be cleaned. A clean car is a nice place to be. You bought (or are still buying) your car. You service your car. You clean your car. We help with that.
Clean. Is. Good.
How long will it take to detail my vehicle?
The answer: it depends. As you know, not all cars are equally clean. The family wagon that has been busy hauling baseball teams all spring or just returning from a 5 day road trip is likely going to take a little more attention and time. That's okay.
We like taking the time to be meticulous. With that, here's a general time breakdown:
- Sedans - 3 hours
- Mid-Size SUVs with 3-row seating - 4 hours
- Full-Size Trucks - 4 hours
- Full-Size SUV's - 5 hours
- Show cars 6-8 hours
- Farm & Ranch trucks - 5 hours
Where will you detail my vehicle?
We can detail vehicles in any number of locations:
- In your driveway
- At our location
- At your work place (with certain conditions
- We are a mobile auto detailing business. That means we can come to you to do the work on a couple conditions:
- The area where we clean your vehicle needs to be reasonably clean. On a cement driveway, for example. It's difficult to do a terrific cleaning job if we are working in the dirt/mud - you understand.
- We prefer having access to running water and electricity. We can haul water and run a generator for power if needed.
Can you pick up my vehicle?
We can do that. And yes, we are insured, licensed and legal. We would love to pick your vehicle up while you work, sleep or mow the grass. We'll bring it back in a few hours, shiney-clean. A surcharge may be applied for this service if we go out beyond 10 miles.
Often, we will pick vehicles up late at night and have them in your driveway, clean and ready to drive to work the next morning. It's kind-of fun to go to bed with a dirty car and wake up to a fresh, clean set of wheels.
You can also drop your vehicle off, and pick it up when completed. Or, drop it off and we'll deliver it. We try to make it as convenient as possible, after all, we have commandeered your vehicle for a few hours.
What does an auto detail include?
The do-it-yourself quick car wash and vacuum has it's place. Detailing a vehicle goes well beyond that. You know the cracks and crevices that a vacuum just can't reach? We go there. The vents, doors, under the seats, into the seats - that doesn't scare us. You know how a car feels when it's new? We try to get back to that feeling. The wheels are buffed, the tires, de-gunked and shined up. Carpets are vacuumed, shampooed and extracted. Cup holders are de-sticky-fied. That stuff under the car seat? Not sure what it is? That's okay...no need to be ashamed. We get rid of it. That drink you spilled a couple months back? We'll find it and remove it.
Not all cars can be rejuvenated to new condition. But, we will get it as close as it can be. That is the difference between a great auto detail and the essential, quick, do-it-yourself car wash and vacuum.
I'm embarrassed...my car is so dirty.
We have all been there. We understand and we are not afraid of a dirty car. The fries. The lost baby bottle. The mud. There's something about fixing a messy situation, that we like. It's what we do. Clean is good.
