FAQ

Good questions.

How much does a detail cost?

A basic exterior starts at $80 for sedans and $100 for trucks and SUVs. A basic interior starts at $140 for sedans and trucks and $160 for SUVs. Paint correction starts at $500, and ceramic coatings run $750 to $1,200. The final price depends on condition, so send a few photos for an exact quote.

Why does condition change the price?

A truck with a season of red clay, pet hair, or deep stains takes a lot more time than one that gets washed every month. Photos let us see that up front, so there are no surprises.

How long does it take?

That depends on the vehicle and the service. We'll give you a time estimate when we confirm your day.

Do you only do trucks?

No. Sedans, trucks, and SUVs are all welcome. Trucks just see the most red dirt around here.

What should I do before my detail?

Take out anything valuable and anything you don't want moved. Leave the rest to us.
