Prices are flat rates by vehicle size, and times are estimates that depend on the vehicle's condition. Heavy pet hair, deep stains or strong odors can add to the final price; your intake form lets me quote that up front, so there are no surprises on site.

Questions
What do I need to provide?
Just a water spigot and an outdoor electrical outlet within about 50 feet of where the car is parked. I bring everything else.
How long does a detail take?
It depends on the package and the car's condition. An Express Wash is the quickest; The APEX Detail on a heavily used vehicle takes the longest. I'll give you an estimate when you book.
Do I need to be home?
Not for the whole job. I'll need access to the car and the keys, and I like to walk around the finished car with you before you pay.
How do I pay?
You pay on site once the work is done. No deposit is required to book.
Why might my price change?
Heavy pet hair, deep stains and strong odors take extra time and product. The intake form asks about these so I can quote it before I arrive.
How much does mobile detailing cost in Charlottesville?
Packages start at $100 for an Express Wash on a sedan. Interior details start at $150, and The APEX Detail, my complete inside-and-out package, starts at $350. Every package is a flat rate by vehicle size, and you can see each price in the packages section above.
What areas do you serve?
Charlottesville, Albemarle County (including Crozet) and neighboring counties: Greene, Orange, Louisa, Fluvanna, Nelson, Augusta and Buckingham. Not sure if you're in range? Call or text (540) 204-6110.
Are your products safe for my car and the environment?
Yes. I match products to each surface, from paint and glass to leather, fabric and trim, and I use biodegradable, water-based products whenever possible.
Do you detail EVs?
Yes. Teslas and other EVs are welcome, and every photo of a Model Y on this page is my work.
