What to Expect From a Mobile Detailing Appointment (Start to Finish)

4 min read · Detailing Bureau, Philadelphia

Mobile detailing is simple once you've done it once. Here is the whole process, step by step, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to before you book.

1. Booking

Pick your service, vehicle size and a time online. You confirm your email with a short code — no app to download. Your card gets a hold, not a charge.

2. Before we arrive

Make sure we can reach the car — a driveway, garage or legal street spot works. We bring our own water and power. Clear out personal items if you can.

3. The detail

We say hello, look the car over with you and note anything you care about most. Then you get on with your day while we work.

4. The walk-around and payment

When we're done, we walk around the car together. Only once you're happy is your card charged for the amount held. If something isn't right, we fix it while we're there.

Book it, or just ask

No deposit. We place an authorization hold on your card at booking and charge it only after the detail is finished and you've inspected it. Reschedule free by text up to 12 hours before.

Frequently asked

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel free up to 12 hours before by texting (267) 827-0316, and the card hold is released in full.

Do you need my house water or electricity?

No. We arrive fully self-contained.
