Dealer “detail departments” are usually high-volume, low-margin operations where each car gets 30 to 60 minutes. Fine for a wash but not real detailing. Independent detailers spend 4 to 12 hours per car at 3x to 5x higher quality. Dealer pricing is bundled into service packages and looks cheap; the actual quality reflects that. For real correction, coating, or interior restoration, an independent specialist always outperforms.

    Extra pro crew! These boys took the time to make sure it was exactly right. Thanks so much for being able to get that scratch out for you and preserve the ceramic coating on it.
