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.
