The short answer
Across Brampton, Mississauga and the rest of the GTA, an interior detail is commonly quoted somewhere between about $100 and $250, and a full interior-and-exterior detail between $150 and $400 or more. Most of those quotes are plus HST, and many add $20–$60 for an SUV, minivan or truck. So a "$149 full detail" for a family SUV often lands closer to $220 by the time you pay.
Our prices are flat and final: Gold Interior $130, Gold Full $160, Titanium Interior $170, Titanium Full $200. Pet hair removal is +$25, engine bay cleaning is +$30 to +$60 depending on the package, and addresses outside our standard area carry a $20 travel charge. There is no tax added on top, and the only size charge is $30 for a 7-seater. Every price on the home page is the number you pay.
What actually changes the price
- Vehicle size. A three-row SUV has more carpet, more seats and more glass than a hatchback, so most shops price by size. We charge one price for every car and SUV because it is simpler for you and it evens out across a week of bookings; the one exception is a 7-seater with a third row, which is $30 more.
- Condition. A car that has not been cleaned in two winters, has stained seats, or has a dog in it daily takes longer. Some detailers add a "heavy soil" fee on the spot; we build it into the tiers instead. Titanium exists for exactly that car.
- Add-ons. Pet hair, odour treatment, ceramic protection and engine bays are usually extras. Ours are three: pet hair (+$25), engine bay cleaning (+$30 with Titanium Full, +$50 with Gold Full, +$60 with an interior package), and the Titanium tier, which includes ceramic protection.
- Mobile vs. shop. A shop pays rent and needs you to drive over and wait or arrange a ride. A mobile detailer pays for travel and equipment instead. Prices end up similar; the difference is your afternoon.
- Tax. HST is 13% in Ontario. A $200 quote plus tax is $226. Always ask whether a price includes it.
Why "from $99" rarely means $99
"From" pricing is usually the smallest car, in the best condition, before tax, for the most basic package. It is not dishonest, but it is not what you will pay for a Highlander that has done a winter on the 410. When you compare quotes, ask one question: "What is the total, with tax, for my vehicle, in the condition it is in?" A detailer who answers that clearly is a detailer who will do the job clearly too.
What you get at each tier
Gold ($130 interior / $160 full) is a complete detail: thorough vacuum, every surface wiped, glass, crevices and vents, leather conditioning, a hot-steam clean and a 1-stage deep shampoo extraction of carpets, seats and mats. The Full adds a hand wash and dry, degreased wheels, door jambs and a spray wax.
Titanium ($170 interior / $200 full) takes each step further — a 2-stage shampoo, heavy stain removal, an interior ceramic coating, and on the Full an iron decontamination of the paint plus a hybrid ceramic sealant in place of wax. It is the winter-recovery, before-you-sell, dog-in-the-car option.
Is a detail worth it against a wash membership?
They are different jobs. A $20-a-month unlimited wash keeps the outside presentable between details, and it is good value if you use it weekly. It does nothing for the inside. A proper detail every three to six months resets the interior — the seats, carpets and everything the wash never touches — and, on a Full, protects the paint for the season. Most of our regulars do both.
