Car maintenance and upkeep is an important part of being a car owner, and while you may think of things like an oil change or tyre pressure when thinking about maintenance, keeping your car clean is just as important.

Ontario has access to some of the finest car detailing services in Canada, some come at a premium, some are far more affordable. Is Ontario paying more than anywhere else?

What is the Cost of Car Detailing in Ontario?Before you find out how much detailing services in Ontario cost, you will have to evaluate which type of car you have, which package you require, and then whether you’ll book a mobile car detailing service or travel to a detailing shop.

How Car Size Affects Detailing Prices

When it comes to car detailing, unfortunately, size matters. If you’re a connoisseur of small cars, you’re in luck as you’ll likely be charged around 30% less than somebody with a Minivan.

Depending on which detailing package you choose; Interior, Exterior, or Both, you should expect to pay between $100 - $400 for Small Cars, $150 - $415 for Sedans, and $190 to $430 for Minivans, SUVs, and Pickup Trucks. Rest assured, Panda Hub is far more affordable than these average car detailing prices in Ontario. 

Whether you’re in Toronto, Ottawa, or further afield, we come to you! 

Here’s a breakdown of the average interior and exterior packages for different car sizes in Ontario.

Small Car Detailing Prices

For a small car in Ontario, interior detailing services with most vendors will likely cost between $150 and $320. Panda Hub prices begin at $55.

For exterior detailing on a small car in Ontario, expect to pay between $100 and $450, depending on the services you choose.

Sedan Detailing Prices in Ontario

For a sedan in Ontario, interior detailing will cost you between $170 - $350. Panda Hub can offer you a superior service for a third of the price.

Exterior detailing prices for Sedans in Ontario usually range from $150 to $610 at popular vendors. Once again, Panda Hub can provide you a superior service at a fraction of the average price.

Minivan / SUV / Pickup Truck Detailing Prices

For Minivans, SUVs and Pickup Trucks, an interior detailing service in Ontario will cost you between $190 and $380.

An exterior detailing service for the same cars will cost between $200 and $630. Panda Hub offers competitive pricing for every car size.

How the Condition of Your Vehicle Affects Auto Detailing Prices

Car detailers love a challenge, it’s no secret. The Before & After picture potential is something every auto detailer revels in. However, depending on the condition of your car, (and chosen vendor) you will have to pay more for a soiled / neglected car.

If you have a regular car cleaning routine, with no intensive staining and your upholstery is truly clean, you won’t have to consider a deep cleaning package. However, if your car needs some deep cleaning, some true care, attention and restorative work, you’ll likely have to opt for a more intensive package.

If you have deeply soiled upholstery and mats, an interior car shampooing service, steam cleaning and extraction of any fabric will bring your interior back to life.

If you’ve decided to take your Nissan Cube off roading, or simply had the pleasure of getting consistently stuck in Toronto traffic on your daily commute, you may want to consider an extensive exterior detailing service, to remove any caked on dirt, restore paint from any scratching and seal your car’s paintwork for future adventures (or commutes!).

Here's the list of 9 best car detailing services in Toronto!

Interior and Exterior Packages

Most vendors in Ontario offer unique services based upon your requirements. With most vendors you can choose whether you want Interior, Exterior or Both. 

A Basic exterior cleaning service will likely cost you less than a basic interior detailing service, but prices do vary by vendor.

As you begin to require more intensive auto detailing services, such as engine bay cleaning, scratch and swirl removal from paintwork, or even pet hair removal, you will be charged more.
