FAQs
What is the difference between a car wash and auto detailing?
A car wash provides a surface-level clean to remove dirt and grime, while auto detailing is a more comprehensive process that restores, enhances and protects your vehicle. Detailing at Mr Detail Auto Salon can include hand washing, paint correction, interior deep cleaning, headlight restoration and engine bay detailing.
How often should I have my vehicle detailed in Seattle?
Because of Seattle's frequent rain and road conditions, Mr Detail Auto Salon recommends a hand wash every 2 to 3 weeks, mid-level detailing every 3 to 6 months, and a full detail every 6 to 12 months.
How much does car detailing cost?
Prices vary by vehicle size and condition. As a guide, the shop lists a hand wash and wax at $125, a full interior and exterior detail at $400, and paint correction with ceramic coating at $1095. Interior-only services start at $45 and exterior-only services start at $45.
How long does a full detailing service take?
Mr Detail Auto Salon lists roughly 2 to 3 hours for a wash and wax, 6 to 8 hours for a full interior and exterior detail, about 1 hour for an engine bay, and 2 to 4 days for paint correction with ceramic coating.
Do you offer mobile detailing?
Mobile detailing services are available during the spring and summer months and are available by appointment only. Outside of that, work is done at the shop on NW 46th St in Ballard.
How long does ceramic coating last?
The shop states that ceramic coating offers hydrophobic properties, UV resistance and scratch resistance, with long-term durability lasting 3 to 5 or more years.
What payment methods do you accept?
Mr Detail Auto Salon accepts credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Cash payments and personal checks are not accepted.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes. Monthly and bi-weekly maintenance plans are available, covering hand wash and dry, wheel and tire cleaning, interior vacuuming and wipe-down, and windows cleaned inside and out, with quarterly and annual services added on. A baseline detail is required before enrolling if the vehicle has not recently had a thorough detailing package.
