Services & Pricing
What services do you offer?
We offer a full range of mobile detailing services including exterior wash and wax, interior deep clean, full detail packages, ceramic coating, paint correction, window tinting, and more. We service cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, RVs, and commercial vehicles.
How much does detailing cost?
Pricing starts at different levels depending on your vehicle size and the service package you choose. Visit our services page for starting prices. Final pricing may be adjusted based on vehicle condition.
Are your prices final or estimates?
All prices listed are 'Starting At' prices. If your vehicle's condition differs significantly from what was described during booking (excessive pet hair, heavy staining, etc.), the price may be adjusted. We'll always communicate any changes before proceeding.
Do you charge extra for larger vehicles?
Yes, pricing is tiered by vehicle size. Larger vehicles like full-size trucks, SUVs, and vans may have a surcharge based on the additional time and materials required.
Service Process
How does mobile detailing work?
Our technicians come to your location — home, office, or anywhere convenient. They bring all equipment, water, and supplies needed. You just need to provide access to your vehicle and, if possible, a nearby power outlet.
Do I need to be present during the service?
You don't need to be present the entire time, but you must provide access to the vehicle at the scheduled time. Failure to provide access will result in a charge for the full service value.
How long does a detail take?
Service times vary by package and vehicle size. A basic exterior wash takes about 1-2 hours, while a full detail can take 3-5 hours. Your technician will provide a time estimate upon arrival.
What if the weather is bad?
We monitor weather conditions and may need to reschedule if conditions are unsafe. Detail.com reserves the right to move bookings due to weather without penalty. We'll contact you to arrange a new time.
Payment & Billing
When do I pay?
Full payment is due upon completion of the service. We process payments securely through Stripe.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) processed securely through Stripe.
Is there a pre-authorization hold?
Yes, a pre-authorization hold for the full amount is placed on your card on the day of your service to verify your payment information. This is a temporary hold, not a charge, and is released according to your bank's policies.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! Gift certificates are available in any denomination and make a great gift. Visit our Gifts page to purchase one.
Quality & Guarantee
Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?
Yes. If there is clear evidence of poor craftsmanship, we will redo the unsatisfactory portion at no additional cost. Claims must be filed within 48 hours of service completion through our Support Request tool.
Are your technicians insured?
Yes, all Detail.com technicians and independent contractors are fully insured. We carry comprehensive liability coverage for your peace of mind.
What if something is damaged during the service?
While damage is extremely rare, please report any concerns within 48 hours. Our technicians take before-and-after photos to document vehicle condition. We'll investigate promptly and work to resolve any legitimate claims.
