Notes from the studio

Detailing trucks and SUVs

A crew-cab truck is not a sedan with a longer hood. More carpet, more glass, more wheel, and usually more work dirt. The quote follows the vehicle.

What changes the time

A three-row SUV has two extra mats, a third row that holds crumbs, and more door panels. A work truck adds dust in the bed edges we can reach, mud in the sills, and brake dust on larger wheels. Full detailing covers the cabin and the outside in one visit. If only the cab is the complaint, book interior detailing.

Schertz and Fort Sam Houston trucks that commute I-35 pick up film on the nose. That is an exterior problem first. It is not automatically a polish.

What we need to know

Tell us the cab style, whether a bed cap is on, and if kids or a dog ride in the back. Pet hair on a crew-cab carpet is its own job. See pet hair. Remove toolboxes contents you do not want handled, car seats, and loose gear before drop-off.

We do not publish one truck price. The pricing page lists what moves the number. A 20% non-refundable deposit of that quoted total holds the day.

Where it happens

At the studio, 11692 Bricken Circle, San Antonio, TX 78233. Not in a driveway. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Call (210) 201-4847.

Why a truck is not a long sedan

A crew cab has more carpet, more glass, more wheel, and usually more work dirt. Caliche on the rockers and brake dust in a larger barrel change the exterior. A third row and a dog change the interior. Averaging that into a sedan price would be a fake quote. The number follows the vehicle in front of us, or the one you describe honestly.

If both the cabin and the paint have waited a season, a full detail is the usual request. Correction and coating are still separate if you want those. We do not come to the job site. You drive to the studio.

Call (210) 201-4847 and say whether it is a truck or a three-row SUV, and what the mess is. 11692 Bricken Circle, San Antonio, TX 78233. Tuesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Monday is closed. The deposit is 20% of the quoted total. A coated bed or a large glasshouse is more area. Say if that area is in the request. More carpet, more glass, and more wheel are why the number is not a sedan price with a truck name on it.
