The Fine Print on Auto Detailing Prices
Let’s Get Real

If you’re digging into the details of my auto detailing prices, you’re my kind of person—someone who does their homework. I’m Darren Priest, and at Auto Fetish Detail, I’ve got nothing to hide.

This page is for the smart folks who want the straight talk about what it costs to make their car shine in Orange County, CA. So, let’s dive in and break down the pricing, the process, and the philosophy behind it all.

No Two Cars (or People) Are Alike

Here’s the deal: every car is as unique as its owner. Your expectations for mobile detailing—whether it’s a quick refresh or a showroom-level transformation—aren’t the same as the next person’s. That’s why I don’t just slap a one-size-fits-all price on my services. Instead, I start with a conversation. Call me at 714-624-0804, and we’ll figure out what you value most, from a flawless paint finish to an interior that smells brand-new. My job is to deliver exactly what you’re looking for.

The prices listed on my pricing page cover about 95% of the jobs I do. They’re designed for folks who want a high-quality detail at a fair rate. But there’s always that 5%—cars that need a little less or a lot more work. Maybe your ride’s in pristine shape and just needs a touch-up, or perhaps it’s been through the wringer and demands extra elbow grease. Either way, we’ll nail down the right plan together, no guesswork required.

Keeping It Honest About Your Car’s Condition

After 30 years in this business, I’ve learned one thing: most people underestimate their car’s condition. No shade here—it’s just human nature.

You might think your SUV is “pretty clean,” but those pet hairs, coffee stains, or sun-faded paint tell a different story. My approach is simple: I listen to you, ask the probing questions, assess the car, and give it to you straight.

This isn’t about upselling; it’s about making sure we’re on the same page so I can deliver results that make you smile.

At Auto Fetish Detail, I live by a win/win philosophy.

I don’t succeed unless you’re thrilled with the outcome. That means using top-notch products, proven techniques, and a meticulous eye for detail to give you a car that looks and feels better than you imagined.

It’s not about cutting corners or chasing the lowest price—it’s about value you can see and feel every time you walk up to your car.

Why I Stick to House Calls (Mostly)

Here’s the scoop on why I’m a mobile-only operation: city regulations in Orange County can be a maze.

Between conflicting rules and bureaucratic headaches, it’s like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand’s doing.

Residential neighborhoods, though? They’re a different story—simpler rules, fewer hassles. So, I bring my gear to your driveway, whether you’re in Irvine, Laguna Beach, or Mission Viejo. It’s convenient for you and lets me focus on what I do best: making your car look incredible.

That said, I’m not rigid. If your business location works for detailing—say, a quiet lot with enough space—I can make it happen.

Just let me know your situation when we talk, and I’ll see what’s possible. Flexibility is part of the deal when it comes to keeping you happy.

Price vs. Value: Choose Wisely

I’ll be upfront: if you’re hunting for the cheapest detail in town, I’m probably not your guy.

Lowball prices often come with rushed work, harsh chemicals, or inexperienced hands that can damage your car’s finish. Instead, I offer value—work that lasts, protects your investment, and leaves you proud to show off your ride.

For most clients, my standard pricing hits the sweet spot: quality you can trust at a rate that makes sense. For those who want the absolute best detail tailored to their car’s needs, we’ll customize a plan based on the specifics of you and your world.


Let’s Cut Through the Noise

If all this fine print feels like a lot, don’t sweat it—it gives me a headache too.

The easiest way to get started is to pick up the phone and call me at 714-624-0804.

I’m easy to talk to, I know my stuff, and I’ll give it to you straight. We’ll sort out what your car needs, what you’re looking for, and how we can make it happen. No pressure, no fluff—just a real conversation about getting your car the treatment it deserves.

At Auto Fetish Detail, it’s all about trust, quality, and that win/win combination. You get a car that turns heads, and I get the satisfaction of a job well done... and some money in my pocket.

Regards,
Darren Priest
