Ask a Professional Mobile Detailer
Mobile detailing is a fairly new industry about which a lot of people are still unsure or uneasy. We want to settle some of that uneasiness for you and remove the stigma behind this fabulous service! We searched for the most frequently asked questions left unanswered and asked our experts.
How much does it cost?
This is a complicated question, which is probably why it’s remained unanswered for so long. There are a couple of factors that contribute to how much detailing will cost.
What type of vehicle you have
What services you require (interior, exterior, both)
How dirty your vehicle is
How much time they spent detailing it
Each mobile detailing company will be different, also. Some are only local operations, while others, like Emerald Mobile Detail, have several detailers expanding across a wide service. Each of these companies sets their own price based on the average cost in their area, the services they offer, the demand for said services, and so on. We’ll be happy to provide you with an estimation, but it’s important to remember that estimations are just that: estimated. If once we start the detailing process, we see that it will take us significantly more time, manpower, or products, we’ll have to raise that price.

Do you take my car or do you come to me?
This is a point that’s different for every detailing business. At Emerald Mobile Detail, we come to you and provide our excellent detailing services at the location of your choosing, be it your home, the parking lot of your work, or even your local garage if they allow it. Some detailing businesses offer to come to your location, pick up your vehicle, and take it to their location to detail it, then bring it back when they’re done. Others offer on-site detailing only but may have pop-up locations throughout the week. A pop-up location is typically located in the parking lot of another business and offers quick detailing services for a flat, low cost.
Are mobile detailing operations as trustworthy as their traditional counterparts?
Again, this is another thing that varies from detailing business to detailing business. While we can’t speak for everyone, our detailing operation is every bit as trustworthy as a traditional detailing business. We’re very picky with the professionals we hire to ensure you’re guaranteed to receive nothing but the best and highest quality expert detailing services. With Emerald Mobile Detail, you know you can trust that you’re vehicle is in good hands.
Are your services guaranteed?
Yes; all of our detailing services are backed by the Emerald Mobile Detail Peace-of-Mind Guarantee. While we ensure all of our expert technicians are highly skilled and trained with all the latest auto detailing techniques, we know that sometimes accidents happen. If your car doesn’t look as good as you expected it to, call us to schedule another appointment and we’ll fix our mistake.
How long do your detailing services take?
While this can vary based on the type of vehicle you have and the amount of work required to get it looking great again, full-detailing services for average cars can take about 5 hours with exclusively interior or exterior taking roughly half of that. Larger vehicles like trucks, RVs, or boats will, of course, take more time to complete.
Is there a way to make it easier to keep up with my car detailing?
Absolutely! After your first time visiting us, we’re happy to work with you in customizing the perfect detailing maintenance plan for your car, so you can schedule your appointments in advance and never fall behind schedule. The upside to this is that you won’t have to worry about maintaining your resale value or the state of your car, it’s already planned for you.
