Vehicle size categories and pricing

Larger vehicles take longer, so they cost more.

Categories are determined by exterior surface area and the interior volume requiring service. Additional time, materials, and labor are needed to complete a larger vehicle properly. All figures reflect a vehicle in average condition.

Conditions that require materially more labor are quoted as separate additions and confirmed with you before work begins. These include heavy pet hair, spilled liquids, mildew, smoke odor, sand or construction debris, and paint that requires machine correction. Nothing is added to your total after the fact.

Individual car detailing services

Available on their own or as additions.

Any of the following can be added to a package or scheduled independently. All work is performed at your location across San Antonio.

Auto detailing

Complete interior and exterior service for cars, trucks, and SUVs, performed at your home or place of business.

Interior vacuuming

Seats, seat rails, trunk, cargo area, and spare tire well, including crevices that self service equipment cannot reach.

Car waxing

Hand applied wax that restores gloss and provides roughly two to three months of protection against ultraviolet exposure.

Clay bar treatment

Mechanical decontamination that removes embedded grit, overspray, and rail dust that washing alone leaves behind.

Paint correction

Machine polishing that removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation rather than temporarily filling them.

Ceramic coating

One to three years of hydrophobic protection. Recommended for vehicles stored outdoors year round in this climate.

Engine detailing

Engine bay degreased, rinsed under controlled conditions, and dressed so plastics and hoses return to a factory appearance.

Exhaust tip polishing

Carbon deposits and heat discoloration removed from stainless and chrome tips, then sealed.

Headlight restoration

Oxidized and hazed lenses wet sanded, polished, and sealed. Improves both appearance and night visibility.

Pet hair removal

Hair extracted from carpet and cloth upholstery using specialized tools rather than vacuum suction alone.

Truck and SUV detailing

Lifted trucks, duallies, and third row family vehicles. Heavy wheel well contamination and work related interior soiling are expected.

Wheels and tires

Barrels, faces, lug seats, and wheel wells cleaned, then dressed with a satin finish applied off the paint.

Why regular detailing matters here

Protecting a vehicle from San Antonio conditions.

Paint and clear coat

Vehicles in South Texas face sustained ultraviolet exposure, airborne dust, pollen, and highway road film. Over time these conditions break down clear coat, accelerate oxidation, and lead to fading and dulled surfaces.

Regular professional detailing maintains protective layers and slows that degradation. Controlled wash technique reduces the swirl marks introduced by automated equipment, and proper drying preserves paint clarity rather than etching it.

Construction along Loop 1604 and Interstate 35 has made airborne dust a year round issue rather than a seasonal one. Vehicles parked outdoors along those corridors accumulate a bonded layer of fine grit that a standard wash will not lift.

Interior materials

Heat and direct sunlight affect the cabin as much as the exterior. Leather dries and eventually cracks without conditioning. Plastics, vinyl, and trim fade and become brittle. Dashboards exposed to afternoon sun through a windshield reach temperatures well above ambient for hours at a stretch.

Routine interior detailing supports the long term integrity of those materials and improves cabin comfort. It also protects resale value, since interior condition is one of the first things a buyer or appraiser evaluates.

We detail vehicles across San Antonio daily and understand how local heat and road exposure affect both paint and interior surfaces over a full ownership cycle.

A process built on proper surface care

One parking space is all that is required.

Professional detailing is not simply a matter of appearance. It requires understanding materials, contamination types, and safe cleaning methods. Every appointment follows the same sequence so results stay consistent.

STEP 01

Vehicle assessment

You provide year, make, model, and general condition. We confirm the package, the starting price, and a realistic time window in writing.

STEP 02

Arrival and inspection

We arrive with water, power, extraction, and lighting on board. Condition is reviewed with you and final pricing is confirmed before any work starts.

STEP 03

Wash, decontamination, correction

Controlled two bucket wash, then chemical and mechanical decontamination, followed by polishing or protection depending on the package selected.

STEP 04

Final inspection

We walk the vehicle with you under daylight or work lighting and address anything you identify before we leave the property.

Detailing compared to a standard car wash

An automated car wash addresses exterior surfaces within a short, fixed timeframe. Professional detailing takes a structured approach to both exterior and interior materials, using methods and products selected for each surface type.

That means deliberate surface preparation, material specific cleaning, controlled wash procedure, and a final inspection. The result is lower risk of surface damage and more consistent outcomes than a volume based facility can deliver.

Improper washing technique introduces swirl marks and micro scratches that permanently reduce paint clarity. Most of the defects we correct were created by well intentioned washing, not by neglect.

Recommended maintenance intervals

Frequency depends on driving habits, where the vehicle is parked, and environmental exposure. In San Antonio, most owners benefit from professional detailing every four to eight weeks to maintain protective layers and limit long term surface wear.

Vehicles parked in direct sun daily, driven on highways at length, or operated on unpaved roads should be serviced toward the shorter end of that range. Garage kept vehicles driven occasionally can extend it.

Appointments are scheduled with sufficient time allocated to do the work properly. We do not move vehicles through a volume based model, which is why availability is limited and booking ahead matters.

Common questions about our mobile auto detailing services

Questions we answer every week.

Are you fully mobile?

Yes. Service is performed entirely at your location. We arrive self contained with water and power, so no hookup to your property is required. If you prefer that we use your water supply, that is also acceptable and does not change the price.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry general liability coverage appropriate for mobile detailing operations. Proof of insurance is available on request, which some apartment complexes and commercial properties require before allowing on site service.

Is pricing final at the time of booking?

Prices listed are starting points based on vehicle size and average condition. Final pricing is confirmed on arrival, before any work begins. Heavy pet hair, spilled liquids, mildew, smoke odor, or paint that requires correction are quoted as additions and never applied after the fact.

How long does a mobile detail take?

An exterior detail generally takes 90 minutes to two hours. An interior detail takes two to three hours. A full detail takes three to four hours on a sedan and four to six hours on a third row or extended length vehicle. Paint correction is scheduled as a full day.

Can service be performed at an apartment or office?

In most cases, yes. We require one parking space with sufficient room to work around the vehicle. Some complexes and commercial properties restrict on site washing, so confirm with your property manager first. Where water runoff is not permitted, we can perform a rinseless wash instead.

What happens if it rains on the day of the appointment?

The appointment is rescheduled at no charge. We review conditions the morning of service and contact you before dispatch if weather will interfere. Work can also proceed under a carport or in a garage when one is available.

How far do you travel from Alamo Heights?

Locations inside Loop 1604 carry no travel fee. Helotes, Boerne, Bulverde, Schertz, and Fair Oaks Ranch are served with a stated trip charge. Enter your ZIP code on this page to confirm coverage and any applicable fee before booking.

Do you provide ceramic coating and paint correction?

Yes. Machine polishing removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation rather than temporarily masking them. Ceramic coating provides one to three years of protection and is recommended for vehicles stored outdoors. A conventional wax protects for roughly two to three months and is sufficient for garage kept vehicles.

How often should a vehicle be detailed in San Antonio?

Most vehicles in this region benefit from professional detailing every four to eight weeks. Vehicles parked outdoors, driven on highways daily, or exposed to construction dust require service toward the shorter end of that interval to maintain protective layers.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, and Zelle. Payment is collected on completion, after you have inspected the vehicle.
