What detailing actually fixes
A wash cleans your vehicle. A detail gives it back.
The dull spot on the hood where the sun sits. The coffee that went into the carpet in February. The dog hair woven into the back seat. The haze on your headlights you stopped noticing.
Those don’t come out with a wash — they take time, the right products, and someone who cares how it turns out. That’s what these services are.
Drag it. Believe it.

Bigger than a vehicle?
RVs, boats and horse trailers.
We do two levels: a quicker hand wash for regular upkeep, and full detailing — black-streak removal, gel-coat oxidation, aluminum polish, and interior or living-quarters cleaning where it applies. Drop it off at either shop or we come to you.
Pricing depends on size, so we quote these by phone rather than guess.

Questions we get a lot
How much does auto detailing cost?
It depends on the service and your vehicle size. Our detailing runs from $65 for a spray wash and wax on a car up to $375 for the Ultimate on an XL vehicle. Every price is on this page.
Why is detailing priced by vehicle size?
A third-row SUV has roughly twice the surface area and interior volume of a sedan, so it takes proportionally longer. We price in three bands — Car, SUV/Truck, and XL — so you're paying for the work your vehicle actually takes.
Does a detail include a car wash?
Yes. Every detailing service includes a full hand car wash — we never detail over a dirty vehicle.
What's the difference between Ruby Clean and Time Travel?
Ruby Clean is an interior deep clean and shampoo — carpets, seats, and headliner. Time Travel is the full detail, inside and out. If the outside is fine and the inside is the problem, Ruby Clean is your service.
Can you get pet hair and odors out?
Usually, yes. Ruby Clean handles most of it, and the odor eliminator add-on is $60 for anything that's really settled in. Bring it by and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.
Do I need to schedule detailing ahead?
Yes, please. Detailing takes hours, not minutes, so we set aside the time for you. Give either shop a call.
