How much does car detailing cost in Calgary?

TL;DR

Calgary car detailing typically costs $119-$349 for a single service. Interior essential starts at $139, exterior wash & protect at $119, and a full inside-and-out complete detail at $349. Add-ons like pet-hair removal, salt-stain treatment, and clay bar decontamination range from $45-$249.

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

Interior Essential — from $139. A vacuum + wipe-down + glass and mats. Good for well-maintained cars.

Interior Deep Clean — from $229. Includes steam, shampoo, and stain attention. Best after a hard winter.

Exterior Premium Detail — from $229. Clay bar + gloss enhancement + extended sealant.

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.
