Common Questions
Find Answers To The Most Common Customer Queries
What's included in a full car detail?
Our Signature Detail covers a full decontamination hand wash, hand applied sealant, and a deep interior clean with steam. The Elite Detail adds single stage machine paint correction. Ceramic coating and window tinting are separate, shop-only services.
Do you come to me, or do I need to drop off my car?
Depends on the service. Car detailing and car wash are mobile at your home or office anywhere on Long Island, or you can drop off at our Islip Terrace shop. Window tinting and ceramic coating are done at our Islip Terrace shop, where we can control dust, temperature, and humidity for a clean install.
How long does a detail take?
About 2 hours for an Essential Detail, 2.5 hours for a Signature Detail, and about 6 hours for an Elite Detail, with large SUVs and trucks on the longer side. Ceramic coating jobs take 6 to 10 hours at the shop since paint correction comes first. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
What if I'm not happy with the results?
Every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something isn't right, tell us before we leave and we'll make it right on the spot.
How much does detailing cost?
Car detailing starts at $199, ceramic coating at $699, and window tinting at $199. Vehicle size adds a flat amount, for example +$50 for an SUV or +$100 for a truck on the Signature Detail, confirmed with you before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
