Booking, Location & Service Area

Detailing Services & Pricing
A full detail covers a complete interior reset (vacuum, shampoo, steam, stain treatment, leather conditioning) plus an exterior hand wash with clay decontamination and a protective wax finish. Full details run $325 to $460 depending on vehicle size and shop or mobile service.
Interior or exterior details take 1 to 3 hours. Full details run 2 to 5 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. We do it right rather than rush it, and you inspect the work before paying.
Every 3 to 6 months for most Valley drivers. Arizona sun accelerates paint oxidation and dries out leather far faster than milder climates. Many customers save with a biweekly or monthly maintenance schedule between full details.
A car wash removes surface dirt. A detail goes layers deeper: clay bar decontamination, real paint protection, shampooed fabrics, conditioned leather, and every vent and crevice a drive-through never touches.
Yes. Our dog hair removal service uses air purging and mechanical brushes to extract embedded fur, with enzyme treatments that neutralize odor at the source. Starts at $65 added to any detail.
Yes. Our headlight restoration removes oxidation through multi-stage wet sanding and compounding, then seals the lenses against UV for up to 2 years. Restored lenses recover up to 95% of original light output.
Ceramic Coating & Paint Protection
For most Chandler drivers, yes. Ceramic coating protects against UV fading, oxidation, and hard water spotting while making the vehicle easier to wash. If your car sits outside, it ranks among the best upgrades you can make.
Wax protects for 2 to 4 months at a lower price. Ceramic coating lasts years and outperforms wax against UV, hard water, and chemical etching. Choose wax for regular maintenance and ceramic for set-and-forget protection. Our 2026 cost guide breaks down pricing.
Fresh water spots come off with decontamination and clay treatment during an exterior detail. Etched spots and deeper swirls need paint correction, which we quote after inspecting your paint.
Fleet & Commercial
Yes. Our fleet washing service covers work trucks, vans, and company cars for Chandler-area businesses. We bring self-contained mobile units to your lot and schedule around your operations to minimize downtime.
