FAQs

Do you come to me or do I come to you?
Both. Detailing can be done mobile at your home or office anywhere across San Diego, or at our shop. Paint protection film is installed only at our Mira Mesa shop, where a controlled, dust free environment is needed for a flawless install.
How much does a detail cost?
Our Complete Detail, which covers inside and out, starts at $348. An Interior Detail is $248 and an Exterior Detail is $208, with add ons such as seat shampoo, carpet shampoo, paint decontamination and headlight restoration available.
How long does a detail take?
A full detail takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on which services are included.
What ceramic coating do you use, and how long does it last?
We install System X ceramic coatings in three tiers. CRYSTAL+ starts at $999 and lasts up to 2 years, PRO+ is $1,199 with a 6 year warranty, and MAX G+ is $1,499 with a lifetime warranty. The PRO+ and MAX G+ warranties require proper care of the coating to stay eligible.
What is the difference between ceramic coating and paint protection film?
Paint protection film is a thick clear urethane layer that absorbs physical impacts such as rock chips, scratches and road debris. Ceramic coating protects against UV and chemicals and makes the car easier to clean. They solve different problems, so many clients choose to do both.
Do you offer a guarantee on your work?
Yes. The Flat Out Promise is simple: we are not happy until you are happy. If anything does not meet your expectations, let us know and we will make it right.
Do you offer a discount for regular washes?
Yes. If you need your vehicle detailed often, we offer up to a 20 percent discount for repeated washes on bi-weekly and monthly maintenance schedules.
Is the work reported anywhere for resale value?
Select ceramic coating packages and paint protection film installs are reported to CARFAX, which helps document the work on your vehicle history and maintain resale value.
