Why we publish all this
The detailing industry has historically operated on opacity. Pricing is hidden, results are oversold, and most shops would prefer you not ask too many questions. We do not run that way.
The tools above exist because we would rather you arrive informed, ask harder questions, and walk away with a smarter decision — even if that decision is to use a different shop. Detailers who do good work do not need to hide behind vague language.
