Price, timing, what I bring and what each job includes. What people ask before I drive over, answered straight.
01 · Before I drive over
The price, up front.
A wash is $50–$125. A full detail is $200–$500. Where your car lands depends on the car.
Q.01How much does it cost?
Wash $50–$125. Full detail $200–$500. Size, year and condition decide where you land. Bigger, dirtier vehicles sit at the high end of the range.
Q.02How do I get a price for my car?
Get your estimate: pick a wash or a full detail, your type of vehicle, its year, make and model, and how it looks today. You see a range for your car right there, before I go anywhere.
Message meQ.03Is that my final price?
It's an honest range, subject to change once I see your car in person. I confirm the final price at the car, before I start. If your car needs more than you described and you'd rather not go ahead at my price, I refund your deposit.
Q.04What counts as “heavy” condition?
- LightLived in, a little dust.
- AverageCrumbs, dust, some marks.
- HeavyPet hair, stains, beach sand, mud or sap.
Q.05My vehicle is something else. Can you still quote it?
Yes. Send me a message with what it is and its year, make and model, and I'll give you a quote. Same deal: I confirm it when I see it.

Q.06Do I need to provide water or power?
No. I bring the water, the power and every tool. No hose, no extension cord out of your garage.
Q.07Do I need to be home?
No. You can leave the keys and go about your day.
Q.08Where does the car need to be?
Wherever it's parked: a driveway, the street, a carport or garage, or a parking structure.
Q.09How long does it take?
Q.10What part of San Diego do you cover?
All of San Diego. Tell me where the car is and I'll come to you.
03 · What you get
Wash or full detail?
Q.11What's in a wash?
Exterior wash, wax and dry, plus an interior wipe-down and vacuum. About an hour.
Q.12What does a full detail add?
Filter cleaning, scent, seat shampoo and dry, wheel treatment and glass oxidization treatment. That extra work is why a detail costs more, and why it takes 2–4 hours.
Q.13What does glass oxidization treatment cover?
Both: water spots and mineral buildup on your glass, and headlight restoration.
Q.14Who's working on my car?
Me. I've been detailing for over 10 years. I got started because I love working with cars.
