BEFORE YOUR DETAIL

A few things
to know.

Have another question?
Call Ace: (858) 888-2707

Do you need water or electricity?
No. I bring my own water and power generator, so you do not need to provide a hose, outlet or extension cord. I can work at your home, apartment complex or workplace, subject to location and parking rules.
Do I need to stay for the whole detail?
No. As long as the vehicle is unlocked and the keys are available if needed, you can go about your day while I work.
How long does a detail take?
A standard Interior or Full Detail typically takes 2.5 to 4 hours. Deep interior treatments or heavy stain removal may take longer.
Can you remove every stain and odor?
Results depend on the stain or odor, the material, its age and previous cleaning. I’ll inspect the area and explain what is realistic. Some stains and odors may not come out completely.
How do vehicle size and condition affect pricing?
Starting prices are for standard sedans. Mid-size SUVs add $25; large SUVs and minivans add $50. RVs are priced at twice the base price. Stain, grime and pet hair removal is included in Deep Clean & Protect and Full Detail + Polish. Excessive buildup is quoted separately; excessive pet hair or extra stain treatment may require an additional charge, agreed before work begins. Final pricing depends on your vehicle’s size and condition and may require inspection. See packages and all add-ons.
How do I book and pay?
Call (858) 888-2707 to discuss your vehicle, get a quote and arrange an appointment. I accept cash, Zelle and Venmo. Payment is due upon completion and your final inspection of the vehicle.
