How Much Does Car Detailing Cost on Long Island? (2026 Pricing Guide)

"How much does car detailing cost?" We get this question almost every day. The honest answer is: it varies a lot on Long Island. Here's a straightforward breakdown of what to expect in 2026.

Quick Pricing Overview

Here's how Long Island detailing prices typically break down, along with our prices at Wash N Style:

We publish our prices because we believe in transparency. Too many detailers on Long Island make you call for a quote just to give you a number.

What Affects the Price?

Several factors can push the price up or down:

Vehicle size: A Honda Civic takes less time and product than a Chevy Suburban. Most detailers charge the same base price for standard sedans and SUVs, with upcharges for oversized vehicles.

Vehicle condition: A car that gets detailed regularly is easier (and faster) to clean than one that hasn't been touched in two years. Heavy pet hair, stains, or neglected paint can add time and cost.

Service level: There's a big difference between a basic wash and a full paint correction. You're paying for time, expertise, and product quality.

Mobile vs. shop: Mobile detailing is often the same price or even cheaper than shop-based services. We don't have rent overhead for a storefront, and you don't have to waste time dropping off and picking up your car.

What's Included at Each Price Tier?

Exterior Only Detail — $70 When the inside is already clean and you just want the outside looking fresh. Full hand wash, wheels and tires dressed, exterior windows cleaned, and a quick detail spray finish. Great for regular maintenance between full details.

Interior Only Detail — $100 When the outside is fine but the inside needs attention. Deep vacuum, dashboard and console wipe-down, interior windows, floor mats shampoo, and air freshener. Perfect if your car lives in a garage but the interior has seen better days.

Maintenance Detail — $150 Our regular-maintenance package. Perfect for keeping your car fresh every 4-8 weeks. Vacuum, interior wipe-down, all windows (inside and out), hand wash, wheels and tires dressed, door jambs wiped, and an air freshener. Your car looks and smells clean inside and out — without the price tag of a full deep clean.

Full Detail — $290 The works, inside and out. Everything in Maintenance plus a deep vacuum (seats, crevices, trunk), stain spot-treatment, vent and AC steam clean, leather and upholstery cleaning, headliner spot-clean, clay bar paint decontamination, tar/sap/bug removal, plastic trim treatment, and a hand-applied wax/sealant. This is the detail you get before a car show or when you want your daily driver to look showroom-new.

Add-Ons (Flat-Priced) Want to tack on a specific extra? We've got a flat-priced add-on shelf — same price for sedans, SUVs, and trucks. Headlight Restoration ($75), Engine Bay Detail ($50), Faded Plastic Trim Restoration ($60), Pet Hair Removal ($35), Clay Bar Treatment ($50), Leather Conditioning ($35), Carpet Shampoo ($80), Hard Water Spot Removal ($75), and Wax/Sealant Boost ($40). Pick what your car actually needs — no upsells you don't want.

Heads Up: SUV & Truck Surcharge Any package or standalone on a large SUV, pickup, or oversized vehicle is +$30. Same great detail, just a little more car to cover. Add-ons are flat-priced regardless of vehicle size.

Condition Surcharge Vehicles with excessive pet hair, mud, sand, deep stains, or extreme soilage may incur a +$25-$100 condition surcharge. We always disclose this at the walk-around before we start — never sprung at payment.

How to Get the Best Value

• Regular maintenance: Getting detailed every 3-4 months is cheaper long-term than waiting a year and needing a deep correction.
• Bundle services: Getting paint correction + ceramic coating together saves time (and we prep the paint once instead of twice).

• Seasonal promos: We run specials throughout the year, especially in spring when everyone wants their car looking fresh.
