How much does detailing cost?

Pricing depends on vehicle size and package. Exterior: $125–$175. Interior: $150–$200. Full Detail: $250–$350. Add-ons like Clay Bar Decontamination, Headlight Restoration, and Exterior Paint Polish are available at additional cost.

What payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payment can be made online via Stripe at the time of booking or card-present on-site after the service is complete.

If you've ever searched "car detailing near me" in Austin, you know the results are a mix of vague quotes, hidden fees, and prices that seem to change every time you ask. This guide breaks down exactly what mobile car detailing costs in Austin for 2026 — by package, by vehicle size, and with real add-on pricing — so you know what you're paying for before you book.

How Austin Mobile Detailing Pricing Works

At Aurelian Automotive, we keep pricing transparent. Every package is priced by your vehicle's size class — Sedan, SUV, or Large SUV / Truck / Luxury — because a full detail on a compact sedan simply takes less time and product than a full detail on a lifted F-250. There are no hidden fees, no surprise upcharges for "extra dirty," and no bait-and-switch quotes.

We come to you — driveway, garage, or office lot — anywhere within 35 miles of central Austin, including Austin, Round Rock, Westlake Hills, Barton Creek, Downtown, Bee Cave, and Lakeway.

2026 Pricing by Package and Vehicle Size

Here's the full pricing matrix for our three core packages:

Package	Sedan	SUV	Large SUV / Truck / Luxury
Exterior	$125	$150	$175
Interior	$150	$175	$200
Full Detail	$250	$300	$350

What Each Package Includes

Exterior — $125 to $175

A pH-neutral hand foam bath using the two-bucket method, iron and tar decontamination of the paint, wheel faces, barrels, and calipers hand-cleaned, a spray sealant with 3-month gloss protection, tire dressing, trim revival, and glass polished. Takes 1–2 hours.

Interior — $150 to $200

Full extraction vacuum including seat rails and crevices, steam sanitation of touch points and vents, leather cleansed and conditioned by hand, fabric shampoo and hot-water extraction as needed, streak-free interior glass, and ozone odor neutralizing. Takes 1–2 hours.

Full Detail — $250 to $350

Everything in the Exterior and Interior packages, plus full paint prep and surface refinement, tires, rims, and calipers meticulously deglazed and hand-finished, a 6-month ceramic-infused paint sealant, engine bay dressed, and door jambs detailed. Takes 2–3 hours.

Add-On Services and Pricing

Add-ons let you customize your detail without upgrading to a higher package. Here's what we offer and what each costs by vehicle size:

Clay Bar Decontamination — $55 (Sedan), $65 (SUV), $75 (Large SUV / Truck / Luxury). Lifts embedded iron, tar, and overspray from the clear coat, leaving a glass-smooth surface ready to seal. Can be added to any package.
Headlight Restoration — $150 flat rate for any vehicle. Removes hazing, yellowing, and oxidation to restore clarity and nighttime visibility.
Exterior Paint Polish — $200 (Sedan), $250 (SUV), $300 (Large SUV / Truck / Luxury). Restores a like-new, glossy shine by removing light swirl marks, oxidation, and imperfections. Only available with Exterior and Full Detail packages.

First-Time Discount: 15% Off Core Services

New clients receive 15% off core services — Exterior, Interior, and Full Detail. The discount applies to the base package price only, not to add-on services. That means a first-time Full Detail on a Sedan drops from $250 to $212.50, and a Large SUV Full Detail goes from $350 to $297.50.

What Affects the Final Price?

The three factors that determine your final price are straightforward: your vehicle size, your package, and your add-ons. That's it. We don't charge extra for pet hair, light mud, or vehicles that haven't been detailed in a while — we'll let you know upfront if your vehicle needs a clay bar or paint polish to get the best result, but the decision is always yours.
