F&A Auto Detail

Please Read

A few important details about how we work — please read before booking so there are no surprises on detail day.

Booking & Deposit A 20% non-refundable deposit is due on the day of booking — your appointment isn't confirmed until it's received (we'll send a Square payment link). The 20% goes toward your final total. Your detail is considered a no-show 30 minutes past the scheduled time. Deposits are only refunded or rescheduled — your choice — if it rains on the day of the detail.
Pricing & Service Area
Travel surcharge A surcharge fee applies if you're outside a 15-mile radius.
Vehicle exceptions Prices are set to accommodate 99% of vehicles. Exceptions may apply for work trucks or vehicles that have been significantly neglected.
XL SUV upcharge Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Suburban, Grand Wagoneer, Expedition MAX, Navigator L, Sequoia, and QX80 carry a $25 upcharge due to the extra materials and time required.
Water access We can come to you only if we're able to use your water for 20–25 minutes.
On Detail Day
Timing A detail may take a little longer than estimated — we strive for excellence, not beating the clock. We'll contact you at least 30 minutes before we're finished.
Our location isn't a shop If your appointment is at our location, please understand it's our home driveway, equipped to take on customer vehicles — not a detail shop. We don't have a waiting room, so please arrange to drop your vehicle off.
Clear out your vehicle Please remove all personal belongings, money, and valuables before your appointment. If areas like the center console or glove compartment aren't cleared, we won't be able to clean them out of respect for your privacy.
Car seats For child safety, we will not remove or replace car seats under any circumstances. Please remove car seats and booster seats before your appointment.
Pre-existing issues Please let us know about any cosmetic or mechanical issues that could prevent us from completing the detail — a low battery, a trunk that won't open, windows that don't roll down, etc.
What To Expect
1-step paint correction Significantly improves your car's appearance by removing light swirls, minor scratches, and oxidation using a single compound/polishing stage — but it won't make the paint perfect. Deeper scratches or embedded defects may still be visible, since those require more aggressive, multi-step correction. Expect a glossy, revitalized finish with roughly 60–80% defect removal depending on your paint's condition. Regular hand washing and a sealant every 6 months helps maintain the results.
Headliners Headliners are gently cleaned, but some stains may remain. The adhesive holding the headliner can loosen if cleaned more aggressively or with stronger products — so please understand full stain removal isn't always possible for this reason. Cleaning it yourself is done at your own risk; it may look clean at first but sag over time as the glue is compromised.
Wheels & brake dust We aren't responsible for baked-on brake dust that can't be fully removed, on the surface or deep within the wheel. Some wheels are beyond cleaning and may need repair or replacement.
Marketing
