Rather than publish numbers that would be wrong for half the people reading them, here is exactly what changes the price — so when you call, you already know what we will ask.
The four factors that move the price
- Vehicle size — a compact sedan takes far less time than a three-row SUV or a crew-cab truck
- Condition — heavy pet hair, ground-in dust, stains and neglected paint add hours
- Service level — a maintenance wash, a full detail, a one-step correction and a ceramic coating are different orders of magnitude
- Location and access — a shaded driveway is faster to work in than a tight tandem stall
Why the cheapest quote is often the most expensive
A very low price usually means a fast, one-bucket wash with a dirty mitt and a spray wax. That installs swirl marks, which cost real money to correct later. Paying slightly more for a careful wash protects the clear coat you already have.
The same logic applies to interiors. Spraying a fragrance over an odor source is cheap and buys a week. Extracting the source costs more once and solves it.
Getting an accurate quote
Tell us the year, make and model, when the vehicle was last detailed, what is bothering you most about it, and where it will be parked. That is usually enough for a firm number. Photos help for stains, scratches and paint condition.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge extra for mobile service?
Our pricing includes coming to you within our normal Sacramento-area service map. Long-distance travel outside it may be quoted separately.
Is a package cheaper than individual services?
Usually yes — combining interior and exterior work in one visit is more efficient than two separate appointments.
