Cost of Car Detailing in Ontario
Your car goes through a lot daily, whether salt and cold in winter or the relentless summer sun and everything in between. Corrosion, dirt, UV rays and more can wreak havoc on your car’s exterior and interior, so car detailing has become an essential service to ensure your vehicle doesn’t just look nice but is protected.
In this blog, we’ll look at the cost of car detailing in Ontario, what influences the price and how often you should get your car detailed.
What is the Cost of Car Detailing in Ontario?
Several factors determine the cost of car detailing, such as the type and size of the car and if you are looking at interior or exterior packages (or both).
Depending on whether you go for interior, exterior, or both, a small car will range between $110-130, while a big SUV or van will run around $160-220. The price points for any cars in-between will vary within this spectrum.

What Determines the Cost of Car Detailing?
Many factors influence the cost of car detailing.
Car Size
The likely most significant factor affecting the cost of car detailing is the size of your vehicle. A small two-door compact will take a lot less time and resources to finish than a full-size SUV or van.
Condition of your Car
While the size of the car is the most significant factor, in some cases, excessive dirt may incur additional costs. For example, if you have gone off-roading in wet conditions and the car has mud and dirt everywhere, we recommend using a regular car wash to remove the excess mud and dirt. The detailing, done by hand, can then take care of all the remaining dirt the car wash can’t reach.
Package Details
You can choose either interior or exterior detailing or both. We recommend getting both done simultaneously, as it will prevent you from having to make a second appointment. This can make a big difference in the overall price.
Add-ons
You can add many additional services to your detailing, such as engine detailing, disinfecting services or new car paint protection. For example, engine detailing includes cleaning and degreasing your engine, making detecting worn or even broken parts easier and increasing its longevity.
Location
Taking advantage of our mobile car detailing can make a difference where you live if you live far outside town.
How Often Should I Get My Car Detailed?
Typically, we recommend a detail about 2-3 times a year to keep your car in good shape and avoid any additional services that could become costly.
However, it depends on how much you use your car, if you use it in areas with a lot of dirt or mud and your preference.
Generally, if your car looks like it needs detailing, it likely does. Whether during winter, when salt and ice can build up, or in summer, when dirt and heat are bearing down on your car, professional detailing can help make your car look good and extend the life of its paint and interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it Worth Paying for Professional Car Detailing in Ontario?
Professional car detailing has many benefits, including a clean-looking vehicle and a pleasant fresh smell. But it goes beyond that, as it can preserve the upholstery and interior of your car and its paint. And an engine cleaning will remove dirt and grease, allowing it to run smoother.
Why is detailing so expensive?
Professional car detailing is more expensive if you compare it to a standard automated car wash and the coin-operated vacuums outside of gas stations. But you must remember that detailing is done all by hand, with specialized equipment and products to clean and protect your car without causing damage.
