Detailing Pricing FAQ
How much does a full car detail cost?
A full detail typically costs $150–$300 for a sedan in a suburban market. This includes exterior wash, interior deep clean, and basic protection. Prices increase for larger vehicles and premium markets — an SUV in a major metro could run $250–$500.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
Ceramic coating ranges from $500–$1,500 for a sedan, depending on the product and your local market. Larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs can cost $650–$2,250. Premium markets (NYC, SF, LA) command the highest rates.
What factors affect auto detailing prices?
The three biggest factors are vehicle size, services selected, and your geographic market. A compact sedan costs less than a full-size truck. Urban markets support higher prices than rural areas. Additional factors include vehicle condition, product quality, and detailer experience.
How much should I charge for paint correction?
Single-stage paint correction runs $200–$400 for sedans in average markets, while multi-stage correction ranges $400–$800. These prices scale up with vehicle size and market area — a multi-stage correction on an SUV in a premium market can command $780–$1,800.
Is mobile detailing more expensive than shop-based?
Mobile detailing typically charges 10–20% more than shop-based services due to travel time, equipment transport, and the convenience factor. However, mobile detailers can offset costs by clustering appointments geographically — reducing drive time between jobs.
