We Clean

Why do detailing prices vary and what factors influence the cost?

At Dave’s Car Cleaning Service, our pricing is based on several factors that help us determine the level of service and time required to achieve the best results for your vehicle. Here are some of the key elements that influence the cost of your detailing:

• Vehicle Size & Type: Larger vehicles such as SUVs, trucks, and vans require more time and materials to clean compared to smaller cars.

• Vehicle Condition: If your car has heavy dirt, stains, or odors, additional time and care may be needed to properly clean and restore it.

• Special Factors: Items like bodily fluids, blood, or mold can pose health risks, and in such cases, we may refuse service for safety reasons.

• Pet Hair Removal: Vehicles with pet hair or dander require additional time and special tools to remove thoroughly.

• Time & Labor: Certain services, like shampooing carpets or deep interior cleaning, take more time and require additional labor.

• Stains & Scent: Difficult stains, odors, or mildew may require specialized treatments and products.

• Items Left in the Vehicle: Excessive items left inside can slow down the cleaning process and may result in additional fees.

We strive to be transparent and ensure you get the best value for your service. If you ever have questions about pricing or what factors apply to your vehicle, feel free to reach out to us for a personalized quote.

What do I need to do before the mobile detailing team arrives?

We come to you—whether you’re at home, work, or another location—making the detailing process as convenient as possible. To ensure we can work efficiently and deliver the best results, we kindly ask that you:

• Clear all debris from the car interior and trunk. This helps us focus on cleaning and detailing every surface.

• Place car keys in a safe location where they can be easily accessed. If you prefer, we can collect the keys directly from you when we arrive.

Once these simple steps are taken care of, we’ll handle the rest, providing your vehicle with a thorough, professional detailing service at your convenience.

How long does car detailing take?

The time it takes to complete a detailing service depends on the size and condition of your vehicle. On average, basic detailing jobs can be completed in about 2 hours, while more thorough services—especially for larger vehicles or those with significant dirt buildup—can take 4 hours or more.

We always strive to deliver the best results in a timely manner, and we’ll give you an estimated completion time when you book your service. If you have a specific time frame in mind, feel free to let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Why do detailing prices vary by vehicle type and package?

The size and type of your vehicle directly impact the time, effort, and products required for a full detail. Sedans and coupes are smaller and typically quicker to clean, while SUVs, trucks, third-row vehicles, and flatbeds require more time and labor due to their larger surface areas and more complex interiors.

Additionally, each detailing package offers different levels of service. For example, our Deluxe Detail Package includes deep cleaning and carpet and seat shampooing, which takes additional time to complete thoroughly and properly. We tailor each service to your vehicle’s needs to ensure the best possible results—no shortcuts, just quality care.

Are there any situations where service may be refused?

At Dave’s Car Cleaning Service, we take pride in delivering high-quality results and ensuring every customer is satisfied. However, for health and safety reasons, we reserve the right to refuse service if a vehicle contains hazardous conditions. This includes the presence of bodily fluids, blood, excessive mold, or biohazardous materials.

Our goal is to provide a safe, clean, and respectful experience for both our clients and staff. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies for service, feel free to contact us in advance to discuss your specific situation.

Do you bring your own water, or do I need to provide it?

Yes, we bring our own water to every detailing appointment, so no hookups are required for service. However, if you’re able to provide access to a water supply on-site, we’re happy to offer a discount on your service as a thank-you.

Using your water can also help reduce our setup time, which means you’ll get your vehicle cleaned faster—without compromising quality. Just let us know ahead of time if water access will be available at your location.

Do you bring your own power, or do I need to provide it?

Yes, we bring our own power supply to every mobile detailing appointment, so you don’t need to worry about providing electricity. However, if you’re able to offer access to a power outlet, we’re happy to provide a discount on your service as a courtesy.

Using your power source can help us streamline our setup and detailing process, allowing for a faster and more efficient service—especially for larger or more advanced packages.
