Size and Location

How Our Car Valeting Prices Are Set

Car prices are set first by the size of the vehicle. Small covers cars such as a Smart Car, Fiat 500 or Audi A1, Medium cars such as an Audi A3 or Mercedes C Class, Large vehicles such as an Audi A8 or Range Rover Evoque, and Extra Large vehicles such as a Mercedes G Class or Ford Transit.

Prices may also vary depending on location. We are based in Bedford and work across Luton, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Northampton and Towcester, so please tell us where the vehicle will be when you book. Please make sure all valuables are cleared from the vehicle before we start.

Extras and Upgrades

What Can Change Your Price

A heavily soiled vehicle, with mud or sand, may carry an additional charge of £20 to £90, always explained before work starts. Any valet or detail can also take one of our five add ons, from an engine bay clean at £40 to pet hair removal at £100. The other main addition is a coating, as any Stage 1, 2 or 3 can be upgraded from the standard sealant to a coating.

A ceramic coating starts from £350, a graphene coating from £400 and a self healing coating from £500, and each protects the paint for 3 to 5 years. A ceramic coating can also be added to a motorbike valet for an additional cost, which we will price for your bike.

Deposit and Payment

Our Booking Terms in Brief

A £10 deposit per vehicle secures your booking and comes off the final balance, and we can only hold your appointment once it is paid. Please give us 48 hours’ notice to cancel, as cancelling with less notice means 50% of the quoted price is payable. Our terms and conditions set this out in full.

Payment is due on the day or before, by BACS, card, cash or PayPal, and we do not accept cheques. Every job is covered by our satisfaction guarantee: if anything is not as it should be, contact us within 24 hours with photos, and we will arrange a time to put it right.
