The short answer
In DFW in 2026, expect roughly $99 to $99 for exterior work, $149 to $149 for interior work, and $225 to $225 for a full detail covering both. The spread is driven by how much work the service covers and how far behind the car is, not by what you drive or by your zip code.
Mobile pricing sits close to shop pricing here, and the difference is what you do with the two hours you did not spend driving and waiting.

What moves the number
Four things, all of them published as add-ons so you can price your own worst case before booking.
- Pet hair, $50 light to $100 heavy, because embedded hair is hand work.
- Odor, from $50 for an ozone treatment to $199 for full elimination.
- Extra shampoo and extraction beyond what the package covers, from $50.
- Travel outside the DFW service area. Inside it, travel is free.
Get your exact number, not a range
The booking flow prices your vehicle size, your add-ons, and any multi-car discount before you confirm. Two cars in one visit save $20, three save $50.
Where a rhythm changes the math
If you are buying more than about three details a year, the cheapest thing you can do is stop letting the car fall behind. A maintenance exterior from $99 on a repeating schedule costs less over a year than the rescue detail it prevents.
For households, book the cars together: $20 comes off two cars in the same visit and $50 off three, because the setup is shared.
How to compare two mobile quotes fairly
Headline prices are close to meaningless in this trade because the same words describe very different jobs. Four questions make two quotes comparable.
- 1How long will the service take on my vehicle? Time is the most honest proxy for what is included.
- 2Is decontamination included, and does that mean iron remover, clay, or both?
- 3What protection goes on at the end, and how long is it expected to last?
- 4What is the published price, and what specifically would change it?
