The short answer
Because a price you have to ask for is a price that can change based on what your car looks like it is worth. Publishing the number removes that. Our packages and add-ons are all priced on the site, and the price you see is the price we confirm in your driveway before any work starts.
A maintenance exterior detail starts at $99, an interior reset at $149, and the Full Detail at $225. Those are starting prices for any vehicle, and what moves them is the condition of the car in your driveway, not its size.
What our published price includes, and what moves it
The published price covers the service as listed, at the vehicle size you select, for a car in normal condition. Travel inside our DFW service area is included, and there is no fuel surcharge, no water fee, and no card fee.
Four things legitimately move it: vehicle size, heavy pet hair, embedded stains or odor that need extraction or ozone, and travel outside our service area. Every one of those is priced on the site as a published add-on, so you can price your own worst case before you book.
- Pet hair: $50 light, $100 heavy.
- Full odor elimination including ozone: $199.
- Shampoo and extraction beyond what the package includes: from $50.
- Engine bay: from $79.
Price your own car in two minutes
The booking flow shows the total before you confirm anything, including add-ons and any multi-car discount ($20 off two cars, $50 off three). No deposit, and the card is only charged after the work.
The one thing we will not promise
We will not promise the published price is final before we have seen the car. What we promise is that any change is discussed with you before work begins, never discovered on the invoice afterward. A price that moves mid-job is the actual thing customers are afraid of, and it is the thing we refuse to do.
If a car turns out to need more than the package covers, you get the number and the choice. Book the bigger service, book the smaller one and accept the limits, or walk away with nothing charged.
What published pricing costs us
It is worth being honest that this is not pure altruism, and it does have a cost. Publishing prices means we lose the jobs where someone else quotes lower by leaving decontamination or extraction out, because a headline number is easy to undercut when nobody is comparing inclusions.
It also means we cannot price a job by what the driveway looks like, which is precisely the point. The trade is that customers can price their own worst case before they call, and nobody has to negotiate to find out whether they were quoted fairly.
This is an educational guide written to help DFW drivers budget and decide with confidence. It is not a binding quote. Your price is confirmed up front before any work begins, with no deposit.
