What These Numbers Tell You
- A full detail runs about $250 to $325 to start, across Broomfield, Brighton, Lakewood and Parker.
- Interior-only details cost more than exterior-only. Interiors take longer: vacuuming, shampooing, leather and stain work.
- Add-ons add up. Rocco’s posts $30 for pet hair and $40 for stain removal. Shiny Mobile Auto Detail in Parker lists add-ons from $15 to $30 and a travel fee of $20 or more outside its home area.
- Package ranges are wide. 2TD Mobile Detailing’s packages run from $149 to $799, because the top tier includes paint correction and coating.
Detailing vs. Paint Correction vs. Ceramic Coating
A standard detail cleans and protects. Paint correction removes swirls and scratches with machine polishing, and ceramic coating adds long-term protection on top. Those cost more: see our ceramic coating cost guide ($219 to $1,800+ from 8 Colorado shops) and PPF cost guide.
What Changes the Price
- Vehicle size. SUVs, trucks and minivans usually cost more than sedans.
- Condition. Pet hair, sand, spills and odors take extra time.
- Shop or mobile. Mobile detailers come to you; some charge a travel fee outside their area.
- Season. After winter, many Colorado cars need extra work to remove road treatment residue from paint, wheels and carpets.
