Vehicle size matters more than people realize. A Honda Civic and a Suburban are not the same job. Here's how a Full Detail typically prices out by size:
Civic, Corolla, Accord, Camry, Mazda 3, etc.
RAV4, CR-V, Outback, Pilot, Highlander, mid-size truck
F-150, Silverado, Tundra, Suburban, Tahoe, 3-row SUV
What Affects The Final Price
Vehicle condition
A well-maintained car gets cleaned faster and costs less than one that's been neglected for a year. If your car has heavy stains, embedded pet hair, oxidation, or significant interior wear, expect the upper end of the range.
Add-ons you need
Pet hair, odor removal, engine bay, headlight restoration — each is priced separately because not everyone needs them. You only pay for what your car actually needs.
Service tier
Basic packages cover the essentials. Full details go deeper. Paint correction and ceramic coating are premium services with their own pricing tiers.
Recurring vs one-time
Clean Club members get a flat $125 per clean (monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly). Way cheaper than booking individual full details, and your car never gets too far gone.
How I Compare To Other Options
vs Drive-Thru Car Wash ($15)
A wash and a detail are not the same product. A wash rinses your exterior in 5 minutes. A detail is 3+ hours of hands-on work inside and out. Different result, different price.
vs Self-Detailing
If you have the time, gear, products, and skill — DIY is cheaper. Most people don't have all four. Pros use commercial extractors, dual-action polishers, and chemicals you can't buy at AutoZone, plus the experience to use them right.
vs Shop Detailing
Shop detailing in this area runs roughly the same as mobile, sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more. The difference is convenience — I come to you, work on your car alone, and you're not waiting in a lobby for hours.
vs Cheap Mobile Detailers
You can find $80 "full details" on Facebook Marketplace. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes you get a kid with a buffer who'll burn your paint. I have 5 years of experience, 35+ five-star reviews, and 300+ vehicles done. There's a reason Clean Club members keep rebooking.
How To Save Money On Detailing
- Join Clean Club. $125/clean recurring saves you 30-50% vs one-off bookings.
- Detail before it gets bad. A maintained car costs $200. A neglected one costs $400.
- Skip add-ons you don't need. Don't pay for engine bay if you don't care about it.
- Bundle services. Doing paint correction and ceramic coating together costs less than booking separately.
- Refer a friend. Most months I run a referral discount — ask when booking.
Common Questions
Why is mobile pricing similar to shop pricing?
Mobile detailers carry their gear, water tanks, generators, and have to drive between jobs. The convenience for you is real, and the pricing reflects the cost of running a mobile operation.
Do you charge extra for distance?
Within Snohomish, Monroe, Lake Stevens, Everett, Marysville, and Duvall — no travel fee. Outside that area, I might add a small fee for distance, ask when you book.
Do you take cards?
Yes. Card, Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, cash. Whatever's easiest for you.
Is a deposit required?
For larger services like ceramic coating, yes — a small deposit holds the booking. Standard details are pay-on-completion.
