How Much Does Car Detailing Cost in Chilliwack?

You want a number. Not a runaround. Not "it depends, call us for a quote" on every single thing. So here it is, plain and dirty.

At Dirty Details in Chilliwack, our core packages are priced up front. No mystery math. No surprise line items that show up when you're standing at the counter with your keys in your hand.

The Real Prices

Here's what we charge, and here's exactly what you get.

• Interior Detail — $250. Every inch inside the vehicle. Seats, carpets, mats, dash, console, door panels, glass, vents, the crumbs your kids swore weren't there. We pull the grime out, not just wipe over top of it.
• Exterior Detail — $250. The full outside treatment. Wash, decontamination, wheels, tires, trim, glass. We get the paint clean and looking like it should, not just rinsed.
• Complete Detail — from $350. Inside and out, top to bottom. Book both together and you save $150 versus paying for each on its own. This is the one most folks want when the vehicle's been ignored for a while.

That's the backbone. Simple on purpose.

Why "From $350" and Not Just $350

The Complete Detail starts at $350. It climbs from there depending on what we're walking into.

A commuter sedan that gets vacuumed now and then? That's your baseline. A three-quarter-ton work truck that's been hauling drywall, dogs, and Fraser Valley mud since spring? That's more labour, more product, more time. We're not going to pretend those are the same job.

We price honest. If your rig is rough, we tell you before we start — not after.

What Drives the Quote-Only Add-Ons

Some jobs can't be flat-priced because every vehicle's a different animal. These get quoted after we see it:

• Pet hair removal — golden retriever back seat is a different beast than one lazy cat.
• Odor removal — smoke, spilled milk, wet dog, mildew. Deep problems need deep work.
• Salt removal — winter road salt baked into carpet and door sills.
• Clay bar & paint sealant — for paint that feels rough and needs protection put back on.
• Leather conditioning — feeding dried-out leather so it stops cracking.
• Scratch removal — depends entirely on how deep it goes.
• Seat extraction — pulling seats to reach what's underneath.

We've also got flat-rate add-ons that don't need a quote:

• Headliner cleaning — $100
• Engine bay cleaning — $100

A Word on Ceramic Coating

People ask about ceramic coating and multi-stage paint correction because they've seen the YouTube videos. Straight up: we don't offer those. Not our lane.

What we DO offer is real paint protection that works — clay bar decontamination to strip embedded gunk off the surface, plus paint sealant to lock in shine and shrug off water, bird bombs, and road spray. It's quote-based because it depends on your paint's condition. If you want your finish protected without the ceramic price tag, that's the conversation to have.

What You're Actually Paying For

Detailing isn't a car wash with a fancy name. A drive-through wash blasts water and calls it done. We're talking hours of hands-on work.

Here's what the money buys:

• Time. A proper detail is measured in hours, not minutes.
• The right product for the mess. Different filth needs different chemistry. Salt isn't grease. Pet hair isn't mud.
• Doing it once, right. We're not smearing dirt around. We extract it, lift it, haul it out.
• A vehicle that holds up. Clean and protected lasts longer than clean and neglected.

Cheap detailing is expensive when you have to pay someone to redo it.

How We Stack Up

Chilliwack's got mobile guys, pop-up weekend operations, and full shops. Prices swing all over. Some lowball you and then nickel-and-dime the add-ons. Some quote high and hope you don't ask questions.

We put the core numbers right on the table — $250, $250, $350 — and we quote the specialty work honest after we lay eyes on your vehicle. You'll know what you're paying before we touch a thing.

The Bottom Line

Detailing in Chilliwack runs from a couple hundred bucks for a single service up to more for a beat-up rig that needs the full treatment plus add-ons. Our packages start at $250 interior, $250 exterior, and $350 for the complete job — with $150 saved when you bundle.

Bring us your filth. We'll give you a straight number and a clean vehicle. Book online at dirtydetails.ca/book or call (604) 845-4060. We love dirty — the worse it is, the more we want it.

FAQ

Q: Is the price different for trucks and SUVs? A: The bigger and dirtier the vehicle, the more work it takes, so a large or heavily soiled rig can run above the starting price. We'll tell you straight before we start — no surprises at pickup.

Q: Do you charge extra for pet hair or bad odors? A: Those are quote-only add-ons because every case is different. A little fur is nothing; a fully coated back seat is real labour. Same with odor — surface smell versus soaked-in stink. We quote it after we see it.

Q: Can I just get the inside done? A: Yep. Interior Detail is $250 on its own. But if the outside needs love too, the Complete Detail saves you $150 versus booking both separately.

Q: Do you do ceramic coating? A: No. We don't offer ceramic coating or multi-stage paint correction. We do offer clay bar decontamination and paint sealant for real protection and shine, quoted based on your paint's condition.
