Car detailing

Available now · Move-in ready

Come home to a shiny clean car

Your car sits indoors while you are away, so it can be detailed and waiting when you land.

Use the trip to get your car cleaned

The hardest part of getting a car detailed is finding a few hours to be without it. When you fly, your car is going to sit anyway. Ask us about separately arranged parking and detailing. Appointments, pricing and availability require confirmation; detailing is not included in parking.

The detailing shop is right next door

Detailing happens in the shop building next to our storage lot, so your car never leaves the neighborhood. It moves from your parking spot to an indoor shop bay and back, all while you are on your trip.

What you can have done

Interior detailing: vacuum, mats, seats, plastics and the cup holders nobody else wants to touch
Exterior detailing to get the road salt and grime off
Paint correction to bring back gloss and clarity
Ceramic coatings for long-term paint protection
Headlight restoration
Protection packages that combine the popular services

Bigger jobs like paint correction and ceramic coatings take longer, which is exactly why a trip is a good time to book them. Every car is different, so detailing is quoted by phone. Tell us what you drive and what you want done, and we will give you a straight price before your trip.

Why it matters in Iowa

From late fall into spring, the roads here are treated with salt and brine. It sticks to the lower panels, the wheels and the underside, and it gets tracked into the carpet on every pair of boots. A good cleaning after winter driving is one of the easiest ways to keep a car looking newer.

Do I have to fly to get detailing?

No. If you are local and just want your car cleaned, call and ask. We will find a time that works.
