I usually go to an exterior hand wash, wax, etc place that’s about $50 and then do the interior myself. I’m about to sell my old car so am getting a full detail and it’s $400 🫠 That’s the starting rate but they said I don’t have any “issues” that require an upcharge.
I called around and that seems about normal. I just did not remember it being that expensive lol. I’m in the Portland, OR, suburbs.
What does an interior and exterior detail cost in your area and what general area are you in?

We had our 2001 car detailed last summer and it was $250, inside and outside. He even was able to removed 2 small stains on the carpet. So worth the money. Looked like it came-off a showroom floor.

That would be in the zone for here too. A friend of ours has a hoarding problem and recently had a health crisis so DH and I offered to clean out his car (with his permission of course). It literally filled up three giant garbage cans and one and a half recycle garbage cans. We looked into having the inside detailed for him to get the seats and interior cleaned and the starting price was almost $200, with additional charges for “extreme cleaning” which this vehicle would absolutely need.  |

It used to be about $100. We used to take it to a dealership.
I have a friend who does it and he seems to start at $300.

I thank my lucky stars that I can pay my 19 year old dd to do it for $100 ... She also does Grandma's car for $200 ... does a better, more intense job ... I don't expect much  The only reason we hire her is because she doesn't have a job right now so it's easy money ... neither one of our cars are gross inside  |

I pay about $200. The airport parking/shuttle I use offers the service. I absolutely love to come home to a sparkling car.

I've never paid for one. My dh is anal about car cleanliness and we keep them pretty clean. And he does it himself every few months (more in the warmer months). I can't imagine having to pay that much.

I was just checking into this. We are buying our DD’s 2017 Honda Odyssey from her. I’m thinking of making it my primary car and want to have it detailed. The dealer we bought our other car from has an “Auto Mall” where they just opened a new Super Center that does detailing. According to their website they offer different levels of detailing. The most expensive is “Total Reconditioning”. Reconditioning includes *Interior Shampoo *One Step Buff & Wax * Engine Clean. Price is $249. (Additional charge for specialty vehicles and heavily soiled vehicles.).
My DD had another place do it a few years ago (Ziebart) and I was not overly impressed with the job they did. It cost $200.
I’m in NE Indiana.

My husband just got his dad’s Prius detailed and it was only $120. In Chicago. I was surprised. I recall our Land Cruiser was maybe 2x more expensive to detail.

Eastern Long Island, NY I've been pricing out getting my car detailed inside and out and this is what I've been seeing. I'm in MA. |

My spoiled kids would never countenance such a thing, but frankly, neither would I. I don’t ever want to detail a car again. To answer the OP, probably $250 here? It’s not something we do a lot. |

I paid $250 last summer. I used a local guy who comes out to your house. He’s highly recommended on our town Facebook group.

I’ve never had that in depth of a detail. The local car wash place though charges $275+ for an interior and exterior detail.

It's $400 around here, flat rate. DD has worked for some detailers and can polish chrome. She will charge according to how dirty your vehicle is, $100 - 250 is her typical price. She did do a $400 one once. I don't know anyone who waxes their vehicle. I don't know anyone who hand washes, I wouldn't like that grinding the dirt , mud, salt into the vehicle. I wouldn't even drive through and automated car wash with the spinning brushes. We have a foamer at our shop, it foams up the soap and you let it sit and then pressure wash it clean. A little less work than the soap in the pressure washer.

My boss takes their vehicles to a place that charges $75. They worked miracles on the interior of his SO’s vehicle. It was filthy and seats stained. The interior looked brand new.
I have inquired from a neighbor. She charges $150.
The inside of my Escape just needed vacuumed, dusted, windows cleaned. Just couldn’t see paying that much for something DH would do at some point.

At the good hand wash place by my house, it's $180 for a crossover. Less or more depending on your vehicle type.

Just scheduled one, suv rate is $250 for the works, in/out. The best part of it is they're coming to my driveway to do.
We had some vehicles done a few years back, another company similar pricing.

I just had mine done in Austin for $150, and I gave the 2 guys a $50 tip, so $200 total. They were mobile and came to me with a water truck and generator. They did an amazing job.
