If you’ve been searching “car detailing prices near me” or “how much does a full detail cost,” you’re not alone — pricing is the #1 question we get from new clients across Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, El Segundo, and Lawndale. Below is a straightforward breakdown of exactly what South Bay Detail Guys charges, what’s included in each package, and how add-ons and vehicle size affect your final price — so there are no surprises when we show up at your door (because yes, we come to you).
South Bay Detail Guys Pricing at a Glance
| Package | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Interior Detail | $135+ | Cabin refresh, spills, everyday grime |
| Exterior Detail | $70+ | Wash, wheels, and shine maintenance |
| Full Detail (Interior + Exterior) | $175+ | Complete inside-and-out refresh |
These are our base rates for a standard-size sedan or coupe. If you drive something bigger, size adjustments apply (details below) — but there are no hidden fees beyond what’s listed here.
Vehicle Size Adjustments
Because a 3-row SUV takes meaningfully longer to detail than a compact sedan, pricing scales with vehicle size across all packages:
- Small SUV: +15%
- Large SUV, Minivan, or Pickup Truck: +30%
- Transit or Cargo Van: +45%
For example, a Full Detail ($175) on a large SUV would run about $228, while the same service on a cargo van would be roughly $254.
Add-On Services
Most vehicles are covered by the packages above, but if your car needs extra attention, we offer:
- Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo: $50–$200 (based on soiling and seat/carpet material)
- Clay Bar Treatment and Wax Protectant: $50–$100
- Excessive Fur Removal: $50–$100 (for pet owners — this is one of our most requested add-ons)
Note: excessive pet hair, deep stains, sand, or heavy buildup may require an additional charge beyond the base package price. We’ll always walk you through this during the initial inspection before we start — no surprise invoices.
Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating
For clients who want long-term paint protection and a showroom-level finish, we offer two coating tiers:
- Light Paint Correction + 2–3 Year Ceramic Coating: $1,000*
- Standard Paint Correction + 2–3 Year Ceramic Coating: $1,500*
*Base pricing is for standard-size vehicles; vehicle size adjustments above still apply.
This is the option most South Bay clients choose when they’re prepping a car for resale, protecting a new vehicle, or just tired of constant washing and waxing. A 2–3 year ceramic coating means less maintenance, easier washes, and paint that stays protected against sun, salt air, and daily driving grime — which matters a lot living this close to the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a Full Detail and just booking Interior + Exterior separately?
The Full Detail ($175) bundles both services at a lower combined price than booking Interior ($145) and Exterior ($75) individually, and it’s done in a single appointment — no need to schedule twice.
Do I need to be home during the appointment?
No. As long as we have access to electricity and water at the address, our team can complete the detail with or without you present. We’ll confirm access details 24 hours before your appointment.
Will my price change once you see the car in person?
It might — but only if there’s something the initial quote didn’t account for, like excessive pet hair, deep staining, or heavy sand/dirt buildup. We always do a walk-around inspection first and tell you upfront if anything changes before we start work.
Is ceramic coating worth it for a daily driver?
For most South Bay drivers dealing with coastal salt air, sun exposure, and beach parking lots, yes — a 2–3 year ceramic coating significantly cuts down on maintenance washing and keeps paint protected far longer than wax alone.
Do you offer mobile detailing, or do I have to drop off my car?
South Bay Detail Guys is fully mobile — we bring the equipment to you, whether that’s your home, office, or anywhere in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, El Segundo, or Lawndale.
