Full interior and exterior detail on a sedan inside the San Antonio studio

Notes from the studio

What a full detail includes

A full detail at this studio is one appointment for the cabin and the paint, done at 11692 Bricken Circle. It is not a tunnel wash with a longer name.

The interior half

The cabin is where a full detail earns the word full. Carpets and mats are cleaned, not just vacuumed in a straight line down the middle. Seats, consoles, door panels, and the glass you actually look through get time. Leather is conditioned when the material can take it. Cloth is not promised to look new if a stain has lived there for a year. If the complaint is pet hair, say so. An interior-only detailing visit can stand alone, but a full detail is the better buy when the outside is just as tired.

Family trucks and three-row SUVs take longer because there is more carpet and more console. That is a time fact, not a surprise fee invented at the door. We quote from the vehicle, then hold the slot with a 20% non-refundable deposit of that total.

The exterior half

The paint is washed by hand, wheels are cleaned, and bonded film is removed when the panels need it. A full detail improves gloss. It does not remove deep swirls. That job is paint correction. If you only need the outside, start with exterior detailing instead of paying for a cabin reset you do not want.

Work happens in the studio, not in a parking lot. Drivers from 78233, Live Oak, and Royal Ridge bring the vehicle to Bricken Circle.

What it is not

A full detail does not repaint a car, fill a rock chip, or guarantee every odor is gone. If the clear coat is thin, we say so before anyone polishes. If you want protection after the reset, read ceramic coating only after the paint is actually ready. The pricing page explains what moves the quote. It does not list a fake sedan price.

Call (210) 201-4847 with the year, make, and model. Tuesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Monday is closed. Ten percent of the sale goes to Junior Achievement of South Texas.

What full means here

A full detail is the cabin and the outside in one appointment: carpets and mats, seats, consoles, door panels, glass, a hand wash, wheels, and decontamination when the paint needs it. It is not a coupon wash plus a vacuum. Door jambs are included. Paint correction and ceramic coating are not hidden inside it.

A stain that has lived in cloth for a year may remain. We will say so. Pet hair should be named when you book because it changes the time. The vehicle comes to 11692 Bricken Circle.

Call (210) 201-4847. Tuesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Monday is closed. Twenty percent of the quoted total holds the slot and is not refunded if you cancel.
