How much does interior car detailing cost?

Interior detailing prices vary a lot from shop to shop, mostly because "interior detail" can mean anything from a quick vacuum to a full shampoo and steam clean. Here is what goes into the price, with our actual prices as an example.

What changes the price

  • Vehicle size. A third row or a big cargo area simply takes longer. Most detailers price by size.
  • How deep the clean goes. Vacuuming and wiping surfaces is quick. Shampooing and extracting carpet and cloth seats, steam cleaning vents and seams, and cleaning seatbelts take hours.
  • Condition. Heavy dirt, mud, stains or smells add time.
  • Pet hair. Hair woven into carpet doesn't come out with a normal vacuum and needs its own tools and time.
  • Add-ons. Things like leather conditioning or headliner cleaning are usually priced separately.

Basic Interior Clean$80$100$120
Standard Interior Detail$150$175$200
Deep Interior Restoration$225$260$300

Basic is a full vacuum, hard surfaces wiped down and interior windows. Standard adds steam cleaning, carpet and cloth seat shampoo with extraction, leather cleaning, door jambs and UV protectant. Deep adds multiple extraction passes, full steam sanitation, seatbelts, the full trunk including the spare tire well, and every compartment. See everything that's included on the interior detailing page.

Heavily soiled vehicles may have an added charge of $25 to $75, always discussed before we start. Pet hair removal is a $30 to $50 add-on. Mobile service at your driveway is the same price plus a travel fee ($40 in most of the Lehigh Valley).

Which level do you need?

  • Basic if the car is in decent shape and just needs a reset.
  • Standard if the seats or carpet have stains, or it's been a while. This is our most popular.
  • Deep for a car you just bought used, a family car after a long season, or one that needs to be like new again.

Want both inside and out? A full detail combines interior and exterior and costs less than booking them separately.

Questions

Common questions.

How much does an interior car detail cost?

Ours ranges from $80 for a Basic Interior Clean on a car or sedan to $300 for a Deep Interior Restoration on a large SUV or van. The price depends on vehicle size, how deep the clean goes, and the condition of the car.

How long does an interior detail take?

Ours take about 1 to 1.5 hours for a Basic Interior Clean, 2 to 3 hours for a Standard Interior Detail, and 3.5 to 4 hours for a Deep Interior Restoration, depending on vehicle size and condition.

Is interior detailing worth it?

It removes dirt, stains and bacteria a normal vacuum misses, protects surfaces from wear and sun damage, and helps resale value. A Standard detail once or twice a year with light upkeep in between keeps most cars in great shape.

Does pet hair cost extra?

Yes. Pet hair removal is a $30 to $50 add-on depending on how much hair there is. Every package includes a standard vacuum for loose hair.

Do you charge extra for a very dirty car?

Heavily soiled vehicles may have an added charge of $25 to $75. We always tell you before we begin, never after.
