Calgary detailing prices vary based on vehicle size, condition, package depth, and travel distance. Below is a straight breakdown of typical Detail Pals pricing so you can budget accurately.
Every price is a starting price. We adjust once we see the vehicle — heavy soil, oversized SUVs, or unusual access can add to the base.
Standard package prices
Quick Refresh Detail - from $99. A fast touch-up for recently cleaned cars that need a light reset.
Interior Essential - from $119. A vacuum + wipe-down + glass and mats. Good for well-maintained cars.
Interior Deep Clean - from $179. Includes steam, shampoo, and stain attention. Best after a hard winter.
Exterior Wash & Protect - from $100. Two-bucket hand wash + spray sealant.
Exterior Premium Detail - from $179. Clay bar + gloss enhancement + extended sealant.
Complete Detail - from $249. Full inside + outside reset. Most popular for trade-ins.
Maintenance Detail - from $159. Faster refresh for regular customers within 90 days of a full detail.

FAQ
Is mobile detailing more expensive than a shop?
Detail Pals mobile prices are competitive with Calgary shops — often the same or slightly less because we don't carry retail rent. What you save vs a shop is time: you don't drive there, wait, or lose a day.
Do you offer discounts?
Multi-vehicle: $40 off when you add a second car in the same booking. Referrals earn credit toward future visits.
