See Your Price Before You Book

Corunna roads put full-size pickup trucks, work trucks, and large SUVs through more abuse than a compact sedan, and it takes proportionally more time, product, and effort to detail them properly. Our pricing reflects the real difference in vehicle size and surface area — not an arbitrary markup — because a mud-caked Ram 1500 from County Road 33 is simply not the same job as a small car.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a work truck off Lyndoch Road or a family minivan doing the school run, pick the category that matches what you're bringing in.

2. Pick Your Package

Choose the package that fits what your vehicle actually needs right now, from a thorough maintenance detail to a full interior and exterior overhaul.

3. Confirm Online

Your exact price is confirmed on screen before you book — no estimate ranges, no hidden add-ons waiting at checkout.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

What you see when you select your vehicle and package is exactly what you pay — no surprises added at drop-off, no pressure to upgrade once we have your keys. We'd rather earn your repeat business with a straightforward experience than chase a bigger ticket on the first visit.

Why Corunna Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Corunna sits at a punishing crossroads of St. Clair River industry and Lambton County farmland, meaning every vehicle here collects a relentless mix of petrochemical dust, road salt, and agricultural grime before it even hits the highway. The same corridors that connect commuters to Sarnia's refineries and farmers to County Road 33 are quietly stripping paint, packing mud into carpets, and leaving a chemical film that ordinary car washes simply can't touch.

Salt Eats Your Paint

Highway 40 and the St. Clair Parkway get heavily salted from the first freeze through late March, and the brine doesn't stay on the road — it sprays deep into wheel wells, coats rocker panels, and creeps under the clear coat on every truck and SUV running the commute. Full-size pickups and work trucks are especially vulnerable because their undercarriages sit close to the spray line and rarely get a proper rinse between winter runs. By the time the snow melts, that salt has already started its quiet work on exposed metal.

Refinery Fallout Coats Everything

Living and working near Sarnia's chemical and refinery corridor means airborne particulate — fine industrial fallout carrying metal oxides and petroleum byproducts — settles onto every vehicle parked in Corunna overnight. You can feel it as a rough, gritty texture on your hood and roof even after a rainstorm, because water alone can't break the bond these particles form with your clear coat. Older domestic sedans and daily drivers left outside are hit hardest, slowly developing a dull, oxidized finish that looks like neglect but is really a chemical problem.

Farm Mud Goes Everywhere

The agricultural flatlands surrounding Corunna turn Lyndoch Road and County Road 33 into muddy gauntlets every spring and fall, and that clay-heavy soil packs into floor mats, clings to running boards, and cakes the undersides of trucks and SUVs in layers that dry rock-solid. Minivans and family SUVs hauling kids from rural properties are notorious for carrying half the field inside by the time they reach town. It's not just dirty — compacted farm mud holds moisture against carpet backing and can start breaking down interior materials if it's left to sit.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Corunna

Daily driving in and around Corunna puts vehicles through a cycle of salt, chemical exposure, and rural road abuse that stacks up faster than most people realize. The combination is uniquely aggressive — what starts as surface grime quickly works into paint, trim, glass, and upholstery if it isn't properly addressed.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Rocker panels, wheel wells, undercarriage, lower door seams. Vehicles commuting Highway 40 through winter accumulate salt deposits that dry, rehydrate with each snowfall, and keep attacking bare metal long after the season ends. A proper decontamination wash is the only way to fully interrupt that cycle before rust takes hold.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, windshield, side mirrors, wiper blades. Spring along the St. Clair River brings dense pollen that settles into every horizontal surface on vehicles parked outside in Corunna neighbourhoods. Left sitting in humidity, it bonds to paint and glass and leaves a hazy, yellowish film that smears badly if you try to wipe it off dry.

👢 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Front and rear floor mats, carpet fibres, door sill trim, under seats. Drivers coming off Lyndoch Road or County Road 33 track in Lambton County clay that grinds down into carpet fibres with every trip. Once it dries, vacuuming alone won't pull it out — the soil particles embed at the base of the pile and hold moisture that slowly damages the padding underneath.

🐛 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, hood leading edge, windshield, side mirrors. Summer evenings on the St. Clair Parkway and Highway 40 are notorious for insect activity, and the proteins in bug remains are acidic enough to etch into clear coat within days in Corunna's humid heat. Trucks and SUVs with their larger front profiles collect the heaviest concentration, and the longer splatter sits, the harder it bonds.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, painted roof panels, hood, trunk lid. Corunna's water supply leaves mineral deposits when it dries on a vehicle's surface, and combined with industrial particulate already on the paint, those spots etch into the clear coat rather than simply sitting on top. They're commonly mistaken for scratches on darker vehicles, but proper paint decontamination and polish can remove them entirely.

⚙️ Brake Dust

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, wheel spokes, inner barrel, lower quarter panels. Stop-and-go driving through Corunna and the Sarnia commute generates fine iron-laden brake dust that bakes onto alloy and steel wheels with heat from every stop. Left uncleaned, it pits the wheel finish and flicks onto lower body panels, where it bonds into the clear coat and becomes increasingly difficult to remove without a dedicated iron decontamination treatment.

Corunna Car Detailing Packages

Vehicles in Corunna don't just need a wash — they need the kind of targeted cleaning that addresses salt-laden undercarriages, chemically contaminated paint, and mud-packed interiors all at once. Our packages are built around the real conditions that Highway 40 commuters, farm operators, and refinery workers actually deal with every season.

Interior Basic

Best for: lighter maintenance cleans, commuter cars, and vehicles that need a fresh reset without heavy stains, pet hair, or deep shampooing.

  • Full interior vacuum of seats, carpets, mats, and trunk/cargo area
  • Floor mats removed, cleaned, and reinstalled
  • Dashboard, console, cupholders, door panels, and trim wiped down
  • Interior glass cleaned for better visibility
  • Light dust, crumbs, loose debris, and everyday buildup removed
  • Final walkaround before payment

Why it helps

Regular maintenance cleaning keeps dust, crumbs, light salt, and daily grime from becoming embedded in carpets, seats, and tight interior areas.

Most Popular

Interior Deep Clean

Best for: dirty daily drivers, winter salt residue, family vehicles, food spills, pet hair, stained cloth, and interiors that need more than a surface wipe.

  • Thorough vacuuming of seats, carpets, trunk, floor mats, and tight crevices
  • Compressed-air blowout for cracks, seat rails, vents, and hard-to-reach areas
  • Fabric-safe stain pre-treatment for common spills and traffic marks
  • Agitation of carpets, mats, and cloth upholstery where needed
  • Hot-water extraction or shampooing for fabric surfaces where appropriate
  • Steam cleaning for cupholders, vents, trim, door jambs, and high-touch areas
  • Leather and vinyl surfaces cleaned carefully when applicable
  • Interior glass cleaned streak-free
  • Final inspection with the customer before payment

Why extraction matters

Vehicle carpets trap salt, sand, dust, food particles, and moisture below the surface. Pre-treatment and extraction help lift contamination from the fibers instead of only making the top layer look clean.

Full Detail: Interior + Exterior

Best for: vehicles that need both the interior restored and the exterior cleaned in the same mobile appointment.

  • Everything included in the Interior Deep Clean package
  • Exterior hand wash and careful drying
  • Wheel faces, tires, and accessible rim areas cleaned
  • Tire dressing applied for a clean finished look
  • Exterior glass cleaned
  • Lower-panel road film and surface grime addressed during wash
  • Door jambs and common touch points cleaned where accessible
  • Final exterior wipe-down and customer walkaround

Why wheels need special attention

Brake dust is abrasive and clings to wheels, spokes, and lower panels. Dedicated wheel-safe cleaners and brushes help remove buildup without treating wheels like regular body panels.

Once the detail is complete, we walk the vehicle with you so you can see every result before you pay a single dollar.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Corunna drivers come from all walks of life — shift workers heading into Sarnia's industrial corridor, farm families running County Road 33, and everyone in between relies on Arete to keep their vehicles clean without losing time out of their day. Mobile detailing works because it fits around the schedules that keep this community moving.

Busy Professionals

Professionals commuting to Imperial Oil, NOVA Chemicals, or Suncor in Sarnia don't have spare hours to sit in a detailing shop waiting room. Arete works while you're on shift or at your desk so your vehicle is ready the moment your day wraps up.

Parents & Families

Families running kids between Corunna schools, minor hockey in Mooretown, and weekend activities along the St. Clair Parkway accumulate a serious amount of crumbs, mud, and spilled drinks in a hurry. Arete restores the interior while the kids are at practice and the parents are anywhere but a waiting room.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Residents in apartment complexes and smaller rental properties around Corunna don't have a private driveway or hose hookup to rely on for cleaning their vehicles. Arete brings everything needed and works right from your assigned parking spot without any fuss.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers putting serious kilometres on Highway 40 and through Sarnia's outskirts know that a clean interior is part of the job. Arete fits a detail around your downtime so you're back earning without sacrificing presentation.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Tradespeople and contractors working job sites across Lambton County haul tools, gear, and enough mud to make the cab look like the job site itself. Arete tackles the heavy-duty interior and exterior grime that builds up when a truck is used the way it was built to be used.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Owners of higher-end vehicles in Corunna know that gravel roads, aggressive road salt, and Lambton County winters are hard on a fine finish. Arete uses surface-appropriate products and careful technique to protect your investment season after season.

Vehicles We Detail

Corunna roads are dominated by full-size pickups, family SUVs, and hardworking minivans — larger vehicles that carry more surface area, more interior space, and more accumulated grime than a compact ever would. Vehicle size, condition, and the type of use it sees every day are all factored into honest, upfront pricing.

Sedans & Coupes

Older domestic sedans are a common sight on Corunna streets and around Moore Township, often putting up years of reliable service before getting the deep clean they deserve. A full detail brings worn interiors and dulled exteriors back to a standard their owners can feel good about.

SUVs & Crossovers

Family SUVs hauling kids, pets, hockey bags, and groceries across Lambton County build up layers of mess that a basic vacuum never fully reaches. Arete works through every row and corner so the interior matches the reliable reputation these vehicles carry.

Pickup Trucks

Full-size pickup trucks are the backbone of Corunna's working community, and the bed, cab, and undercarriage take a constant beating from gravel roads, job sites, and lake-effect salt seasons. Arete gives work trucks the thorough attention that keeps them looking sharp even when the work never slows down.

Minivans

Minivans running Corunna families to school, sports, and everything along the St. Clair Parkway corridor accumulate some of the heaviest interior messes of any vehicle type on the road. Arete deep cleans every seat row, floor channel, and crevice so the van stops telling the story of every road trip it's ever taken.

Luxury Vehicles

Bringing a luxury vehicle into Corunna's climate means contending with road salt, gravel scatter, and humidity that can compromise a premium finish faster than most owners expect. Arete applies products matched to the specific surfaces in your vehicle and handles every step with the care a high-end machine demands.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles representing local businesses and industrial contractors across Lambton County make a daily impression on clients and colleagues whether their owners think about it or not. Arete keeps fleet trucks, vans, and company vehicles presenting professionally without pulling them off the road for a full day.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Vehicles in Corunna park in driveways along quiet residential streets, gravel pads beside rural properties, open lots near industrial workplaces, and a handful of shared spaces around the downtown core. Wherever your vehicle sits, Arete is set up to bring the full detail service to that exact spot.

Driveways

A private driveway is the most straightforward location for a mobile detail in Corunna — flat, accessible, and right at home. We set up, work through the full service, and clear out without disrupting your property or your day.

Condo Garages

Covered parking garages and condo stalls in the Corunna and Mooretown area provide a sheltered environment that actually works well for a thorough interior detail. We work within your stall using our own equipment and leave no mess behind in the shared space.

Apartment Parking Lots

Open-air apartment and rental property lots around Corunna are a perfectly workable location for a mobile detail, and we arrive prepared for whatever the lot looks like. Your vehicle gets the same complete service regardless of whether you have a dedicated space or a shared row.

Office Parking Lots

Employees at Lambton County offices, industrial facilities near Sarnia, and local businesses along Highway 40 can book Arete to detail their vehicle right in the workplace parking lot during their shift. You walk out at the end of the workday to a clean vehicle without having spent a minute of your own time on it.

Street Parking

Street parking along Corunna's downtown core and residential neighbourhoods is a straightforward location for Arete's mobile service when a driveway isn't available. We carry everything we need and work efficiently right at the curb.

Commercial Lots

Commercial and industrial lots serving Corunna's working community — from agricultural suppliers to oilfield contractors — are regular stops for Arete's mobile detailing service. Fleet vehicles and personal trucks can be detailed on-site without any interruption to the workday.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A proper detail and a quick exterior wash are not the same service, and Corunna drivers who've been through a Lambton County winter understand exactly why that gap matters. Arete works through every surface, every crevice, and every material the way a real detail is supposed to be done.

Better Interior Access

Getting into every tight corner of a full-size pickup cab, a three-row SUV, or a loaded minivan takes the right tools — not a shop vac run across the obvious surfaces. Arete uses detailing brushes, crevice tools, and compressed air to pull grime out of door pockets, seat rails, and every other spot a standard clean misses entirely.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Cloth seats, carpeted load floors, and fabric headliners all respond differently to cleaning agents, and using the wrong product can leave staining, residue, or damage behind. Arete matches every cleaner to the specific material it's being applied to so nothing gets ruined in the process of being cleaned.

Surface-Specific Products

Plastic trim, painted surfaces, glass, rubber seals, and leather all have different chemical needs, and a single all-purpose spray doesn't serve any of them particularly well. Every surface in your vehicle gets a product formulated for exactly what it is, which is why the results look and feel different from a standard wash.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch surfaces inside a vehicle — steering wheels, shift knobs, door handles, and centre consoles — collect bacteria and grime in textures that wipes alone can't fully reach. Steam penetrates those surfaces and lifts contamination without leaving chemical residue behind on the areas your hands touch every single day.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Corunna's road salt seasons and gravel-covered county roads pack brake dust, rust particles, and road film into wheel faces and barrel edges in ways that a rinse never clears. Arete uses dedicated wheel cleaners and brushes sized to reach the full barrel so every wheel looks finished rather than just surface-wiped.

Final Walkaround

At the end of every detail, we walk the entire vehicle with you — exterior panels, interior surfaces, wheels, and glass — so nothing gets missed and you can see exactly what was done. You only pay when you're satisfied with what you see.

Corunna Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Every season in Corunna brings a different kind of punishment to the vehicles that live here year-round, from the aggressive road salt of a lake-influenced winter to the insect accumulation of a humid summer drive. Staying ahead of seasonal damage means your vehicle holds up better and costs less to maintain over time.

Winter

Lambton County winters layer Corunna roads with heavy, wet lake-effect snow that brings road salt application right behind it, and that salt works into every panel gap, undercarriage seam, and wheel well it can find. Trucks and SUVs running Highway 40 and the St. Clair Parkway through the cold months accumulate salt grime that eats at metal and dulls finishes fast. A proper post-winter detail removes that salt load before it continues doing damage through the spring.

Spring

Spring thaw in Corunna means agricultural fields are soft and muddy, and that mud finds its way onto everything from gravel laneways to the side panels of every truck running County Road 33. The freeze-thaw cycle also pushes road debris, sand, and accumulated winter grime out of the cracks and into the open on every surface of your vehicle. A thorough spring detail clears out what winter left behind and gives your vehicle a clean foundation heading into the warmer months.

Summer

Corunna summers bring warm humidity off the St. Clair River and an insect population that plasters itself across every front fascia, windshield, and hood in the region by the end of any highway run. Pollen from surrounding agricultural fields coats exterior surfaces and sneaks into interiors through open windows and HVAC intakes. Staying on top of summer buildup keeps the paint protected and the interior breathing clean.

Fall

Early frosts in Lambton County arrive faster than most residents expect, and falling leaves left sitting on wet paint or tucked against trim and weather seals trap moisture that can stain and damage surfaces over time. Debris accumulates under vehicles along the St. Clair Parkway and in driveways across Moore Township as the season shifts. A fall detail clears that organic buildup before it freezes in place and prepares the vehicle's surfaces for the salt season ahead.

Primary Areas We Serve in Corunna

Moore Township

Trucks and SUVs in Moore Township take a relentless beating from unpaved agricultural roads, field dust, and heavy mud tracked in through every season. Our thorough interior and exterior detailing packages are built to tackle the kind of deep-set grime that rural driving leaves behind.

St. Clair Parkway Corridor

Homes along the St. Clair Parkway corridor offer stunning river views, but proximity to water means vehicles deal with constant moisture, insect splatter in summer, and road spray all winter long. Arete's exterior packages restore that showroom shine and apply lasting protection against the elements.

Frequently Serviced Corunna Areas & Landmarks

Skip the drive to a shop and let Arete come to you while you enjoy everything Corunna has to offer.

St. Clair River Waterfront

Vehicles parked near the St. Clair River waterfront are constantly exposed to moisture, river mist, and summer insects that etch into paint if left untreated. Arete can detail your car right at the waterfront or in your nearby driveway, protecting your finish from the corrosive effects of riverfront conditions.

Mooretown Sports Complex

Parents and coaches spending long evenings at the Mooretown Sports Complex often return to vehicles packed with muddy gear, sweaty equipment bags, and crumb-covered back seats. Our interior detailing packages eliminate odours, lift stains, and leave the cabin spotless before the next game day.

Imperial Oil Sarnia Refinery

The Moore Public Library sits at the heart of the community, and the surrounding neighbourhood streets are full of family vehicles that handle school runs, grocery trips, and weekend adventures year-round.

Corunna Car Detailing FAQ

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Corunna.

Do you service Downtown Corunna and Moore Township?

Absolutely — Arete Car Detailing services all neighbourhoods across Corunna including Downtown Corunna, Moore Township, Courtright, Mooretown, the St. Clair Parkway corridor, and the Wilkesport area. Wherever your vehicle is parked in or around Corunna, we'll come to you.

Can you detail near the St. Clair River waterfront in Corunna?

Yes, we can detail vehicles near the St. Clair River waterfront or right in your driveway if you live along the parkway corridor. Waterfront vehicles in Corunna deal with persistent moisture and humidity that accelerate paint and interior wear, and our protective packages are an excellent solution.

What package do you recommend for road salt and farm mud in Corunna?

For Corunna's combination of harsh winter road salt, gravel road dust, and agricultural mud, we recommend our full interior and exterior detailing package — it includes a thorough carpet and mat shampoo, full exterior wash and decontamination, and a protective sealant to guard against the next season's punishment.

What package is best for regular maintenance in Corunna?

For ongoing maintenance, most Corunna drivers do well with our standard interior or exterior refresh packages completed every one to three months — this keeps road film, salt residue, and interior grime from building up to the point where a much deeper correction is needed.

Do you detail SUVs, minivans, trucks, and luxury vehicles in Corunna?

Yes — we detail every vehicle type in Corunna including compact cars, full-size SUVs, minivans, heavy-duty pickup trucks used on rural and gravel roads, and luxury vehicles that deserve careful, expert attention. Pricing is based on vehicle size and the services selected.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Our See My Price tool gives you an instant, accurate quote based on your specific vehicle size and the services you want — no guessing, no vague estimates, and no waiting for a callback. It takes seconds and puts you in complete control of what you book and what you spend.

Will the price change after I book in Corunna?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete is committed to transparent, upfront pricing so Corunna customers never face surprise charges at the end of an appointment.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

We do not upsell at the appointment. Our detailers show up to complete exactly what you booked, and if you ever want to add a service, that conversation happens before any work begins — never as a pressure tactic mid-appointment.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

Our satisfaction guarantee means that if any part of your detailing result doesn't meet your expectations, we will make it right at no additional cost. We stand behind every appointment and want every Corunna customer to feel great about their clean vehicle.

Do you have a detailing shop in Corunna?

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, which means we don't have a fixed shop — and that's the point. We bring all professional equipment, water, and supplies directly to your Corunna home, workplace, or any convenient location you choose.

Do I need to provide water or power in Corunna?

No — Arete's mobile detailing units are fully self-contained with their own water supply and power source. Corunna customers don't need to provide anything; just make sure we can safely access your vehicle and we handle the rest.

Can you detail my car in a condo or apartment garage in Corunna?

Yes, we can work in covered parking structures and apartment garages in Corunna as long as there is adequate clearance and ventilation for our equipment. If you have any specific access or height restrictions, just let us know when you book and we'll confirm everything in advance.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in Corunna?

In most cases, yes — we can work on vehicles parked on residential streets in Corunna. We simply need enough space around the vehicle to work safely and efficiently, and we'll confirm the setup details with you before your appointment.

Do you remove road salt, farm mud, and gravel dust from carpets?

Yes — our interior deep-clean and shampooing services are specifically designed to extract the kind of ground-in salt crystals, farm mud, and gravel dust that Corunna's roads deposit into carpets and floor mats throughout the year. We use professional extraction equipment that goes far beyond what a vacuum alone can achieve.

Can you remove every stain?

We use professional-grade stain removal products and techniques that eliminate the vast majority of stains, including coffee, food, mud, and grease. Some older or chemically set stains may be reduced rather than fully removed, and we'll always be honest with you about what results are realistic for your specific situation.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is part of our interior services, and we use specialized tools to lift embedded fur from fabric seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach crevices. If your vehicle has heavy pet hair buildup, we recommend mentioning it when booking so we can allocate the right amount of time.

How long does a Corunna detailing appointment take?

Appointment duration depends on your vehicle size and the services booked, but most standard detailing sessions in Corunna range from one and a half to four hours. Full interior and exterior packages on larger trucks or SUVs may take longer, and we'll give you a realistic time estimate at the time of booking.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Corunna?

Yes — we regularly detail work trucks, vans, and fleet vehicles for Corunna tradespeople and businesses, including vehicles used in Sarnia's industrial and refinery sectors. Contact us to discuss fleet pricing and scheduling if you have multiple vehicles to maintain.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Corunna?

Absolutely — rideshare and delivery drivers operating in and around Corunna benefit enormously from regular professional detailing, since high passenger and parcel volume creates fast-accumulating odours, stains, and debris. We offer efficient, thorough interior services designed to keep your vehicle client-ready at all times.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Before your Arete detailer arrives, please remove any personal valuables, important documents, car seats if preferred, and any large personal items from the vehicle. The more accessible the interior, the more thoroughly we can clean every surface and crevice.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed child car seats and the surfaces beneath them, but we do not remove or reinstall child safety seats as improper reinstallation could pose a safety risk. If you'd like the seat area thoroughly cleaned, we recommend removing the seat yourself before the appointment.

What happens if it rains in Corunna?

If rain is in the forecast for your Corunna appointment, we'll reach out ahead of time to discuss options including rescheduling at no charge, working under a covered area like a garage or carport, or proceeding with interior-only services. Your satisfaction and a quality result always come first.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Corunna?

Yes — Arete's detailers are trained and equipped to handle luxury vehicles with the careful, paint-safe techniques and premium products these cars require. Corunna clients with high-end vehicles can trust that we treat every surface with the expertise and respect it deserves.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather seat cleaning and conditioning is included in our interior service packages. We use pH-balanced leather cleaners that lift grime without drying or cracking the material, followed by a conditioner that keeps leather supple and protected through Corunna's seasonal extremes.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — hot water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets is one of our most popular services, especially for Corunna families dealing with kids, pets, and the endless mess that comes with an active rural lifestyle. The process loosens and extracts deep-set dirt, stains, and odour-causing bacteria.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is part of our exterior detailing service. We remove brake dust, road film, and mud from wheels and dress tires to give them a clean, finished look — especially important for Corunna vehicles that spend time on gravel roads and muddy shoulders.

Can you remove odors from a Corunna vehicle?

Yes — we tackle odours at the source through deep interior cleaning, carpet shampooing, and odour-neutralizing treatments rather than just masking smells with fragrance. Common Corunna culprits like cigarette smoke, pet odour, food residue, and damp winter gear are no match for our process.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, and we use appropriate sanitizing products to ensure the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Please mention this when booking so we can come prepared with the right supplies and allocate sufficient time.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected after your detailing appointment is complete and you are satisfied with the results. We accept all major credit and debit cards for a seamless, contactless transaction right at your Corunna location.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We understand that life happens — if you need to cancel or reschedule your Corunna appointment, please give us as much notice as possible. Cancellations made with reasonable advance notice are free of charge; please review our current cancellation policy at the time of booking for specific details.

Can you come today in Corunna?

Same-day availability in Corunna depends on our current schedule, but we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Check our online booking tool for the most current availability, or contact us directly and we'll do what we can to get your vehicle cleaned as soon as possible.

What if I am not happy with something?

If you're not fully satisfied with any aspect of your detailing result, contact us right away and we will return to address it at no additional cost. Customer satisfaction is non-negotiable at Arete, and we won't consider a job done until you're genuinely happy with the outcome.

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in Corunna?

For most Corunna residents, mobile detailing is the better choice — there's no need to drive into Sarnia or wait in a shop, and your vehicle gets one-on-one attention from a dedicated detailer rather than moving through an assembly-line process.

How often should I detail my car in Corunna?

Given Corunna's harsh winters, road salt, humid summers, insect season, and the gravel roads common throughout Moore Township and rural Lambton County, we recommend a full detail at least three to four times per year — ideally after winter, midsummer, and before the cold returns. More frequent maintenance details every six to eight weeks will keep your vehicle in top shape year-round.
