Why SUVs take longer
There is simply more vehicle. More carpet, more seats, more glass, more paint, and more places for crumbs to hide. A sedan might have one back seat; a three-row SUV has two, plus a cargo area deep enough to lose a hockey bag in.
The SUV size add is +$30 on top of the package price. A sedan or coupe is the base price, so the add covers the extra time and product.
Waterdown has a lot of larger vehicles, from mid-size crossovers to three-row family haulers, and the price scales the same way across all of them: base package plus $30. No separate formula, no surprise on the day.
The parts of an SUV we focus on
- Third row: seats that fold, with crumbs in every hinge.
- Cargo area: carpet, tracks, tie-downs and the rear hatch seal.
- Rear windows: glass the kids touch, with fingerprints at child height.
- Roof and upper body: a long reach and a stepladder, where a lot of dirt collects.
- Running boards and sills: boots drag mud over them every day.
We also pay attention to seat materials. Many SUVs mix cloth, leather and plastic in the same cabin, so cleaning products and methods change from one area to the next.
Which package suits your SUV
Most Waterdown SUVs come to us for one of three jobs. Interior Restoration starts from $119 $149 and fixes the kid mess. Exterior Revival starts from $103 $129 and handles the road film and wheels. The Full Detail starts from $176 $220 and does both, plus sealant. Add the $30 SUV size to any of them.
If you are not sure, the interior vs exterior vs full detail guide walks through the choice.
Plan on the longer end of each package's time range. Interior Restoration takes 2 to 4 hours, Exterior Revival 1.5 to 3, and the Full Detail 3 to 5, and a big SUV leans toward the top of each.
Two vehicles, one visit
Many households here have two cars. Every additional vehicle in the same booking is 20% off, so an SUV and a sedan in the driveway cost less per car than two separate visits. Say so on the quote form and we will plan the time.
Winter salt on the lower body is common on SUVs in this area. The salt mess add-on is +$40 if you want it handled as part of the same visit.
Quoting is simple. Tell us the make, model and year, how many rows of seats, and what the worst area is. A couple of photos of the cargo area and back seat help us plan the day, and we send a tailored quote usually the same day. We accept card, e-transfer or cash, and we work Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
Booking in Waterdown
We are based in Burlington and come to you. We bring water, power and lighting, and need clear space on both sides of the SUV so the doors can open wide. Start with the SUV detailing page and Waterdown car detailing, then use the quote form.
Every job ends with a panel-by-panel walk-around, and anything that is not right gets fixed on the spot.
