Pricing & Services

Cost & What's
Included

How much does auto detailing cost in Roseville?+
Our current pricing in Roseville: Exterior Detail from $80, Interior Detail from $90, Full Detail from $160, Headlight Restoration from $50, Engine Bay Detail from $50, Odor Elimination from $25, Pet Hair Removal from $50, Mobile Detailing from $160. All prices shown are the minimum starting price for a sedan before any add-ons. Final price is based on vehicle size and condition. We provide an exact quote at booking — no surprises on the invoice.
What is included in an exterior detail?+
Our exterior detail includes: two-bucket hand wash of all painted surfaces, full clay bar decontamination, wheel and barrel cleaning, tire scrub and professional dressing, exterior trim UV protection, hydrophobic glass treatment on all windows, door jamb cleaning, and paint sealant application. It is significantly more thorough than a car wash.
What is included in an interior detail?+
Our interior detail includes: full pre-vacuum of all surfaces and crevices, high-temperature steam cleaning, carpet and floor mat shampoo and hot water extraction, leather cleaning and conditioning, dashboard and console detail with UV-resistant dressing, interior glass cleaning, and odor treatment. We address every surface in the cabin including the headliner and trunk.
What is the difference between a detail and a car wash?+
A car wash takes 15–30 minutes and addresses surface dirt on the exterior only. A professional detail is a systematic, multi-hour process using professional-grade products and equipment that addresses every surface of the vehicle at a depth no car wash equipment can reach. The results are not comparable — professionally detailed paint and interior look fundamentally different.
Do you offer packages or bundles?+
We price by vehicle size — sedan, mid-size, and large/truck/XL — rather than packages. This ensures you pay for exactly what your vehicle requires. You can add individual services to any appointment. We discuss the best combination for your vehicle and goals at booking.
Do prices vary by vehicle size?+
Yes — all prices shown are the minimum for a sedan or coupe. Mid-size vehicles (SUVs, crossovers) are priced higher, and large vehicles (trucks, full-size SUVs, XL) are priced highest. Exact pricing for your specific vehicle is given when you book at blackoutdetailing.org.
Booking & Scheduling

How to Book &
What to Expect

How do I book an appointment in Roseville?+
Book online 24/7 at blackoutdetailing.org/book — select your service, enter your address in Roseville, and choose an available time. We confirm within the hour. You can also call or text us directly at (669) 271-2106. Same-week appointments are almost always available.
How long does each service take?+
Exterior detail: 2–3 hours. Interior detail: 3–5 hours. Full detail: 5–8 hours. Ceramic coating: full day. Paint correction: 8–16+ hours depending on correction stage. We provide an accurate time estimate specific to your vehicle at booking. We do not rush jobs to fit more appointments.
Do I need to be present during the service?+
No — as long as we have access to the vehicle, you can continue your day. We send a text when we arrive and a text when we finish. You only need to be present if you want to do a walkthrough at the end, which we always recommend for first-time clients.
Can you come to my condo or apartment in Roseville?+
Yes — we regularly work at condos and apartment complexes across Roseville. As long as we have parking access and enough space to work around the vehicle (approximately one car-length on each side), we can operate. We are self-sufficient with our own water and power.
What if it rains on my appointment day?+
We monitor the forecast for every appointment. For exterior services, we proactively reach out before your appointment if rain is likely and reschedule at no charge. Interior services proceed regardless of weather. We never make the client call us to reschedule — we handle it proactively.
What is your cancellation policy?+
We ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Life happens — contact us as soon as possible and we will always accommodate reasonable requests. We do not charge cancellation fees for clients who communicate in advance.
Mobile Service

How Mobile
Detailing Works

Are you truly mobile — do you need my water or electricity?+
Completely self-sufficient. We carry our own water supply and power generation. We need only parking access and space to work around the vehicle. No hookup to your home, office, or condo is needed at any point.
What areas do you serve around Roseville?+
We serve Roseville and all surrounding communities including Rocklin, Sacramento, Lincoln, Folsom, Granite Bay, Rio Linda, Loomis. Contact us if your area is not listed — our coverage continues to expand.
Can you detail a fleet of vehicles at a business?+
Yes — fleet and commercial detailing is available. We schedule multi-vehicle appointments at your business location. Contact us directly to discuss fleet pricing and scheduling.
Is mobile detailing as good as a shop?+
In most cases better — because mobile service eliminates the time pressure that causes rushed work in high-volume shops. We bring professional shop-grade equipment and products to your location. The only difference is convenience — which works entirely in your favor.
Products & Process

What We Use &
How We Work

What products do you use?+
Professional-grade automotive detailing products from industry-leading brands — the same products used by top detail shops and concours-level detailers. We do not use consumer products from auto parts stores. The quality difference is visible in the result.
Are your products safe for my paint and interior?+
Yes — every product we use is specifically formulated for automotive paint, leather, fabric, glass, and plastic surfaces. We use pH-balanced shampoos that will not strip sealants, leather conditioners that will not darken or damage leather, and interior dressings that do not leave greasy residue.
Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?+
Unconditional. If any aspect of the service does not meet your expectation, we come back and address it at no additional charge. This guarantee has been in place since 2024 and has been honored without exception. We stand behind our work completely.
How often should I have my Roseville vehicle professionally detailed?+
We recommend exterior detailing every 6–8 weeks and a full detail 2–4 times per year for most Roseville vehicles. The UV intensity and environmental conditions here accelerate degradation faster than most climates. Regular professional maintenance protects your investment and maintains resale value significantly better than infrequent deep cleans.
