Just enter your address when booking and we'll confirm availability at your location.

Yes — if you're parked near the Centre récréatif or anywhere else in Candiac with enough space for our team to work safely, we can come to you. Many Candiac clients book us to detail their vehicle while they're at an activity or running errands nearby.

For Candiac drivers dealing with heavy salt exposure from Highway 15 and Route 132, we recommend our full exterior detail with paint decontamination, which breaks down embedded road salt, iron particles, and brake dust before they cause long-term damage to your paint and undercarriage surfaces.

For routine upkeep between seasons, our Essential Detail package is ideal — it covers a thorough interior vacuum and wipe-down plus a full exterior hand wash, making it a great choice for Candiac commuters who want to stay on top of things without going overboard every visit.

Yes — Arete details all vehicle types in Candiac including compact cars, full-size SUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, and high-end luxury vehicles. Pricing is transparent and adjusted by vehicle size so you always know what you're paying before we arrive.

Clicking 'See My Price' lets our system generate an accurate, upfront quote based on your specific vehicle size, condition, and the services you select — so there are no surprises on the day of your appointment. It takes less than a minute and locks in your exact rate.

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay. Arete does not charge hidden fees or change your rate after the appointment is confirmed, regardless of how the job unfolds.

Never. Our detailers focus entirely on delivering the service you booked — we won't pressure you to add services at the door or during the appointment. Any upgrades are always your choice made in advance through our booking system.

If any part of your detail doesn't meet the standard you expected, contact us and we will return to make it right at no additional charge. We stand behind our work on every vehicle we service in Candiac.

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, meaning we have no fixed shop location — instead, we bring all of our professional-grade equipment directly to your home, workplace, or preferred location anywhere in Candiac.

For most services, no — Arete's mobile units carry their own water supply and power equipment. If your specific booking requires access to a power outlet or water hookup, we'll let you know clearly before the appointment.

Yes, we can work in private underground or covered parking garages in Candiac as long as there is adequate ventilation and enough clearance for our team and equipment. Just include the garage details in your booking notes so we can prepare accordingly.

Yes — as long as street parking is legal and stable at your location, we can detail your vehicle there. Many Candiac clients on busier streets like Boulevard Marie-Victorin or near Centre-ville use curbside appointments with no issues.

Absolutely — road salt tracked in from Candiac's winter roads is one of the most common carpet issues we treat. Our hot water extraction and deep shampoo process lifts salt residue, brine stains, and moisture damage from floor mats and carpet fibres.

We can remove the vast majority of common stains including food, mud, salt, grease, and beverage spills using professional-grade extractors and stain treatments. Some set-in stains or chemical discolorations may be permanently bonded to fabric, and we'll always be honest with you if a stain is beyond restoration.

Yes — pet hair removal is one of our most requested add-ons in Candiac, especially for families and active outdoor households. We use specialized tools designed to lift embedded hair from seats, carpets, and crevices that a regular vacuum simply can't reach.

Appointment length depends on your vehicle size and the services selected. A standard interior or exterior detail typically takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, while a full interior and exterior package on a larger SUV or minivan may take 3 to 5 hours. You'll see an estimated time range during booking.

Please remove any personal valuables, loose items, and important documents from your vehicle before we arrive. The less clutter we have to work around, the more thorough and efficient your detail will be — though we'll handle general tidying as part of the service.

We clean around and beneath child car seats but do not remove or reinstall them for liability and safety reasons. If you remove the seat before the appointment, we can clean the base area and the seat itself if it is left accessible.

Light rain typically doesn't affect interior-focused services. For exterior services during heavy rain, we'll contact you in advance to reschedule at no penalty — there's no cancellation fee if weather forces a change, and we'll get you the next available slot in Candiac quickly.

Yes — Arete regularly details luxury and high-end vehicles in Candiac and uses only products and techniques appropriate for delicate paint, soft-close trim, and premium leather. We treat every vehicle with care, and luxury models receive the extra attention their finishes require.

Yes — our leather cleaning and conditioning service removes surface grime, sweat buildup, and staining, then applies a pH-balanced conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, which is especially important given Quebec's extreme seasonal temperature swings.

Yes — hot water extraction and fabric shampoo are included in our interior detail packages. We work product deep into the fibres, agitate thoroughly, then extract the dirty water to leave seats and carpets clean, fresh, and nearly dry.

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is part of our exterior detail service. We use dedicated wheel-safe degreasers to remove brake dust, road salt, and grime from rims, and finish tires with a dressing that restores a clean, uniform appearance.

Yes — we tackle common Candiac vehicle odors including road salt dampness, pet smells, food, smoke, and mildew using deep extraction, odor-neutralizing treatments, and where needed, ozone or enzyme-based deodorizers that eliminate the source rather than masking it.

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, urine, and similar incidents with appropriate protective measures and sanitizing agents. This service is available as a specialty add-on and should be noted at the time of booking so we arrive fully prepared.

Payment is processed securely online through our booking platform. We accept all major credit and debit cards, and payment is typically collected after your service is completed and you're satisfied with the result.

We understand schedules change — cancellations made with reasonable advance notice are processed with no fee. Please refer to the cancellation policy outlined at booking for specific timing details, and always feel free to reach out if something comes up.

For most Candiac residents, mobile detailing is far more practical — you skip the drop-off, the wait, and the extra trip, and get the same professional results delivered to your driveway. Given how car-dependent daily life is in Candiac, keeping your vehicle without losing half a day to a shop visit is a real advantage.

Given Candiac's harsh winters, heavy highway salt exposure on routes like Highway 15 and Route 132, and summer lakeside debris, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — once in spring to clear winter damage and once in fall before the cold sets in — with maintenance washes in between.
