What car detailing actually costs in Calgary.
We don't hide pricing to seem premium. Here's exactly what our packages cost, what changes the price, and how to think about it before you book.
What affects the price
Vehicle size
Sedans and SUVs share a base rate; trucks and vans run a bit higher because there's simply more surface and interior space to cover.
Condition
A vehicle that's been vacuumed weekly takes less time than one that hasn't been cleaned in a year. Excessively dirty vehicles carry a documented add-on rather than a surprise at pickup.
Interior vs. exterior vs. full
Interior-only and exterior-only services are priced separately from full packages that combine both — full packages cost less than booking each individually.
Depth of service
A Basic detail covers the core wash, vacuum and wipe-down. Showroom-tier packages add deep cleaning, shampoo, steam, clay and polish work.
Add-ons
Pet hair, odour removal, ozone treatment, headlight restoration and leather ceramic coating are priced separately since not every vehicle needs them.

Answers before you book.
How do I book an appointment?
Book online any time through our ServiceVIN scheduler — pick your vehicle size, service and a real opening on our live calendar. No account or sign-up required.
Ceramic coating vs. PPF — which one do I need?
Ceramic coating protects gloss, UV resistance and ease of cleaning. PPF (paint protection film) is a physical layer that absorbs rock chips and road debris impact. They solve different problems and are often used together.

Detailing packages are priced up front by vehicle size. PPF, ceramic coating and correction depend on paint condition and coverage, so we quote those after a quick look or a few photos — never a mystery number at pickup.
Which location should I book?
You don't need to choose up front. Book your service and ServiceVIN will guide you to the right studio — 46 Ave handles the full lineup including PPF, ceramic and tint, while 36 Ave focuses on fast, dependable detailing.
Two Shops. One standard.
