See Your Price Before You Book

Lorraine driveways are filled with everything from three-row SUVs and family minivans to commuter sedans and full-size pickup trucks, and the size and layout of each vehicle directly affects how much time and product a proper detail requires. Larger vehicles like the Tahoes, Siennas, and F-150s common in this area take meaningfully longer to decontaminate, clay, and protect than a compact sedan — so our pricing reflects that honestly.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a daily commuter sedan or the family SUV that takes on the 640 every morning, we'll match the quote to what's actually in your driveway.

2. Pick Your Package

Choose the package that fits what your vehicle needs right now, whether that's a seasonal salt-and-sap reset or a full interior and exterior detail.

3. Confirm Online

Your total is locked in at that point — what you see on the screen is exactly what you'll pay when the job is done.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll see your exact price before you book anything — no surprises added at drop-off and no pressure to upgrade once you're here. We'd rather earn your repeat business every spring than squeeze extra out of a single visit.

Why Lorraine Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Lorraine's wooded streets and long winters create a relentless cycle of salt, sap, and seasonal buildup that works against your vehicle year-round. Every daily commute down the 640 or 15 deposits another layer of road grime that quietly does damage most drivers don't notice until it's too late.

Salt-Soaked Roads All Winter

From the first frost to the spring thaw, Autoroute 640 and Autoroute 15 are treated heavily with road salt that clings to undercarriages, rocker panels, and wheel wells on every SUV and minivan making the daily Montreal commute. That brine doesn't just wash away — it migrates into seams, suspension components, and floor mats long after the snow is gone. By March, most Lorraine vehicles are carrying months of corrosive buildup that demands a thorough, targeted clean.

Pollen Blankets Every Driveway

Spring in Lorraine brings colour back to the trees lining Boulevard de Gaulle and Chemin de la Grande-Côte — and a thick yellow-green coating across every hood and windshield in the neighbourhood. Pollen is mildly acidic, and when it sits on paint through warm, humid days it begins etching the clear coat on crossovers and sedans parked under the canopy. A single rinse won't cut it; the residue embeds into the paint surface and requires a proper decontamination wash to remove cleanly.

Tree Sap Sticks to Everything

Lorraine's mature birch, maple, and pine trees are beautiful — until they start weeping sap onto the roofs and hoods of the SUVs and pickup trucks parked beneath them. Sap hardens quickly in Quebec's fluctuating spring temperatures, bonding to clear coat and becoming nearly impossible to remove without the right products and technique. Left unaddressed on vehicles parked along the shaded residential streets off Rue Labelle, hardened sap can permanently damage the paint underneath.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Lorraine

Between the punishing salt season on the 640 and the tree canopy that shades most of Lorraine's residential streets, local vehicles face a concentrated mix of environmental hazards that most car washes simply aren't equipped to handle. The combination of harsh winters, humid summers, and heavy daily commuting adds up to paint, interior, and undercarriage wear that shows up faster than most owners expect.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Undercarriage, rocker panels, wheel wells, door sills, and lower body panels. Winter commutes on Autoroute 640 and 15 pack salt into every crevice below the body line, where it continues corroding metal long after the roads dry out. Lorraine's freeze-thaw cycles through February and March keep re-activating that salt with every melt, making post-winter decontamination a genuine necessity rather than a luxury.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield, and window glass. The dense tree cover along Lorraine's residential streets means vehicles parked outside accumulate pollen faster than those in more open suburbs. The fine particles embed into paint texture and window seals, leaving a hazy, abrasive film that dulls the finish if it isn't properly removed.

🌲 Tree Sap

Where it shows up: Roof, hood, side mirrors, and any horizontal painted surface. Lorraine's mature deciduous and conifer trees drip sap steadily from spring through late summer, targeting SUVs and minivans parked in driveways along wooded streets. Once it cures in the sun, standard washing won't touch it — it requires a chemical solvent and careful hand work to lift without scratching the clear coat.

⚙️ Brake Dust

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, spokes, and inner barrel surfaces. Stop-and-go traffic on Boulevard de Gaulle and the highway on-ramps grinds brake pads down faster and coats alloy wheels with a fine metallic dust that bakes on with heat. Over time that ferrous contamination etches into the wheel finish, leaving permanent pitting if it isn't regularly decontaminated and cleaned.

👟 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Front and rear floor mats, carpet fibres, and under-seat areas. Lorraine's mix of wooded paths, unpaved shoulders, and spring runoff along streets like Chemin de la Grande-Côte means boots carry in mud and debris that grinds deep into carpet fibres. Minivans and SUVs hauling kids, sports gear, and groceries accumulate layers of tracked-in dirt that standard vacuuming can't fully extract.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Paint, glass, chrome trim, and side windows. Lorraine's municipal water leaves behind mineral deposits whenever a vehicle dries without being properly wiped — visible as cloudy rings on dark-coloured SUVs and sedans after a rain shower or a driveway rinse. If those spots are left to bake through a warm Quebec summer, they etch into the clear coat and require polishing to fully remove.

Lorraine Car Detailing Packages

Most vehicles coming to us from Lorraine need more than a basic wash — they've been through a Quebec winter on salted highways and parked under sap-dripping trees for months, and the paint and interior show it. Our packages are built to address the full cycle of what Lorraine driving actually does to a vehicle, from undercarriage salt removal in the spring to paint protection heading into the next 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.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Lorraine draws a wide mix of drivers — daily commuters, growing families, tradespeople, and long-time residents who take real pride in their vehicles. Mobile detailing fits naturally into a community where time is valuable and driveways are plentiful.

Busy Professionals

If you're logging daily kilometres on the 15 or the 640 toward Montreal, your vehicle takes a beating you rarely have time to address. Arete books around your commute so your car is fresh and ready without costing you a day off.

Parents & Families

Between school runs, hockey gear, and weekend trips up through the Laurentians, family vehicles in Lorraine collect grime faster than most. We deep-clean seats, carpets, and every crease so the interior actually stays presentable between outings.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Not every Lorraine resident has a private driveway to work from, but that's never a problem for Arete. We service vehicles in shared underground garages and surface parking areas associated with condo buildings throughout the area.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers running routes through Lorraine, Blainville, and the surrounding corridor need a clean, odour-free vehicle to protect their ratings and their income. We offer efficient, thorough interior cleans that keep your working environment up to standard without pulling you off the road for long.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Contractors and tradespeople working job sites around Lorraine and the broader Laurentian corridor haul tools, materials, and mud every day — and it shows. Arete gets into truck beds, cargo areas, and scuffed interiors with the right equipment to restore a professional appearance.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Lorraine's tree-lined residential streets and wooded lots are beautiful, but they deliver sap, pollen, and bird droppings straight onto high-end paint finishes. We use surface-appropriate products and careful hand techniques to protect the investment sitting in your garage off Boulevard de Gaulle or Rue Royale.

Vehicles We Detail

Lorraine driveways hold everything from daily-driver sedans and crossovers to full-size pickup trucks, minivans, and luxury SUVs — each one carrying a different surface area, interior volume, and cleaning challenge. Pricing reflects the actual scope of the job rather than a flat rate that penalises smaller vehicles or shortcuts larger ones.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans making the daily round-trip to Montreal accumulate road film, salt residue, and interior dust that dull both the cabin and the paint over a season. A focused detail restores that clean, composed look that Lorraine's well-kept neighbourhoods seem to call for.

SUVs & Crossovers

Crossovers and SUVs are the dominant vehicle on Lorraine streets, hauling families, gear, and groceries across every season and road condition the 640 corridor throws at them. Their larger cabins and extended cargo areas require extra time and attention to do properly — and that's exactly what Arete brings.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks working double duty in Lorraine — commuter by week, hauler on weekends — collect grime in every corner of the cab, bed, and undercarriage. We treat the full vehicle, not just the surfaces that are easy to reach.

Minivans

Lorraine families who rely on minivans for school runs, activities, and longer drives know exactly how quickly a third row turns into a disaster zone. We work through every seat row, under every mat, and through every storage pocket to bring the interior back to a livable standard.

Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles garaged in Lorraine deserve products and techniques matched to their materials — fine leather, open-pore wood trim, and multi-coat paint finishes that a one-size-fits-all approach can damage. Arete selects every product based on what's actually in front of us rather than what's cheapest to apply.

Commercial Vehicles

Vans and work vehicles running between Lorraine, Boisbriand, and job sites across the north shore carry a visible brand message whether or not they're meant to. A regularly detailed commercial vehicle signals professionalism before anyone walks through the door.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Lorraine is built around the private driveway — most homes across Secteur Nord, Secteur Sud, and Les Jardins de Lorraine offer a level surface and enough space for a full detail without restrictions. Where dedicated parking isn't available, we adapt to shared lots, underground structures, and approved street positions without disrupting your day.

Driveways

Your driveway is the ideal workspace — it's yours, it's close to home, and it puts your vehicle exactly where it needs to be when the job is done. Arete arrives self-contained and leaves nothing behind except a clean vehicle and a clear surface.

Condo Garages

Condo garages in Lorraine provide shelter from the elements and a consistent surface to work on, making them a practical alternative to open-air detailing in shoulder seasons. We confirm access and stall clearance in advance so the appointment runs without complications on either side.

Apartment Parking Lots

Surface parking lots associated with Lorraine apartment buildings work well for mobile detailing as long as a suitable stall is available and access is confirmed ahead of time. Let us know your situation when you book and we'll coordinate around whatever your building allows.

Office Parking Lots

If your workday keeps you in or around the Lorraine area, scheduling a detail while your vehicle sits in a parking lot turns downtime into a productive use of hours you'd otherwise lose. Your car is ready when you are — cleaner than when you arrived.

Street Parking

Some of Lorraine's residential streets, particularly near the Boulevard de Gaulle area and the Rue Labelle corridor, offer accessible on-street parking that can work as a detail location when driveway access isn't an option. We assess each situation individually and confirm suitability before the appointment is confirmed.

Commercial Lots

Business owners and tradespeople based out of Lorraine's small commercial zones can schedule fleet or work vehicle details during off-hours or quieter business periods. We work efficiently within commercial lot environments to minimise any disruption to normal operations.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A quick wash removes surface dirt — a real detail reaches the contamination that road salt, tree sap, and everyday use grind into every surface of a Lorraine vehicle over months of driving. Arete works through each zone methodically because shortcuts leave behind exactly what causes long-term wear.

Better Interior Access

The SUVs, crossovers, and minivans that fill Lorraine driveways come with deep seat tracks, folding third rows, and cargo liners that trap far more than a vacuum nozzle can reach. We use slim detailing tools and flexible attachments to clean the gaps that most services never touch.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Cloth seats, carpet fibres, and soft door panels each respond differently to cleaning agents, and using the wrong product damages the material even when the surface looks clean afterward. We match every fabric treatment to the specific upholstery in front of us.

Surface-Specific Products

Painted surfaces, plastic trim, rubber seals, glass, and chrome all require different chemistry to clean without degrading the material beneath. Arete carries a full range of surface-specific products and applies each one only where it belongs.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch interior surfaces — steering wheels, gear selectors, door handles, and vents — collect bacteria and grime that wipes alone don't fully clear. Steam lifts contamination from textured plastics and crevices without chemicals that linger or damage finishes.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Lorraine's winter roads are heavily salted from the 640 on-ramps all the way through residential streets, and that brine bakes onto wheels and wheel wells through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We clear brake dust, road salt, and embedded grime from every spoke and barrel so corrosion doesn't get a head start.

Final Walkaround

Before we pack up, we walk the full vehicle with you — exterior panels, windows, wheels, and interior zones — so there's no ambiguity about what was done and no detail you have to discover on your own later.

Lorraine Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Every season in Lorraine leaves its mark on your vehicle — from the salt and slush of a Quebec winter to the sap and pollen that fall from the tree canopy through the warmer months. Keeping up with that cycle isn't optional if you want your paint, interior, and undercarriage to last.

Winter

Quebec road crews apply heavy salt treatments across Autoroute 640, Autoroute 15, and the arterial roads running through Lorraine all winter long, and that brine coats everything it contacts. Slush accumulates in wheel wells, under floor mats, and along door sills where it sits and corrodes if left unaddressed. A mid-winter or post-storm interior and exterior clean removes the buildup before it causes lasting damage to paint, rubber seals, and carpet backing.

Spring

When the snow finally clears from Lorraine's residential streets and wooded corridors, it reveals months of compacted salt, sand, and road film that didn't go anywhere over winter. Spring is the most critical time for a full detail — undercarriages and lower body panels in particular need thorough attention before warm temperatures accelerate the corrosion process. A proper spring clean resets the vehicle for the season ahead and protects the investment you've been commuting with all winter.

Summer

Lorraine's dense tree canopy along roads like Chemin de la Grande-Côte and through residential neighbourhoods is one of the city's defining features, but those trees drop sap, pollen, and organic debris onto vehicles parked beneath them through the warmest months. Tree sap bonds to paint quickly in heat and causes permanent etching if it isn't removed promptly with the right solvent. Summer is also when interiors heat up significantly, locking in odours and accelerating wear on dashboards and seat surfaces that haven't been protected.

Fall

Fallen leaves settle against body panels and into door jams, trapping moisture that promotes rust and staining on paint surfaces throughout Lorraine's wooded lots and quiet residential streets. Increased rainfall and temperature swings bring mud and wet debris into interiors at a higher rate as the season progresses. A fall detail before the first frost clears organic matter from exterior surfaces and prepares your vehicle's finish and interior for another Quebec winter.

Why Choose Arete in Lorraine

Lorraine drivers deal with road conditions that are harder on vehicles than most suburbs — heavy winter salting across the 640 and 15, organic debris from the city's dense tree canopy, and the daily wear of a long commute that leaves little time for maintenance. Arete is built specifically for this environment, bringing the right products, tools, and techniques to your driveway or parking spot rather than asking you to make another trip. We understand what Lorraine vehicles go through because we work on them here, season after season.

Secteur Sud

Secteur Sud households often run multiple vehicles between daily Montreal commutes on Autoroute 15 and local school runs, meaning interiors take a beating fast. Our interior detail packages tackle salt-tracked carpets, winter boot mud, and everything in between.

Frequently Serviced Lorraine Areas & Landmarks

Lorraine's community hubs and gathering spots are natural places to find vehicles that are overdue for a professional detail, and Arete's mobile service means your car can be cleaned while you go about your day nearby. From busy parking lots at the Place Lorraine commercial strip to the lots near Centre communautaire de Lorraine, we meet your vehicle wherever it sits.

Place Lorraine commercial strip

Parc René-Lévesque

Curé-Poirier Park

The parking areas near Curé-Poirier Park see plenty of seasonal use, leaving vehicles sitting in sun, rain, and snow that dull paint and degrade interiors over time. Book an Arete mobile detail and let us restore your exterior shine and deep-clean your interior while you enjoy the park.

Lorraine Car Detailing FAQ

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Lorraine.

Do you service Les Jardins de Lorraine and other neighbourhoods in Lorraine?

Absolutely. Arete Car Detailing services all of Lorraine's neighbourhoods, including Les Jardins de Lorraine, Secteur Nord, Secteur Sud, the Boulevard de Gaulle area, the Chemin de la Grande-Côte corridor, and the Rue Royale district. Just enter your address when booking and we'll confirm availability at your location.

Can you detail near Place Lorraine or the Centre communautaire de Lorraine?

Yes — our mobile detailers can meet your vehicle in parking areas near Place Lorraine, the Centre communautaire de Lorraine, or any other accessible spot in the city. As long as there is reasonable space to work around the vehicle, we'll take care of the rest.

What package do you recommend for road salt and winter damage on Lorraine vehicles?

Lorraine's heavy road salting along Autoroute 640, Autoroute 15, and Boulevard de Gaulle can wreak havoc on paint, wheels, and carpets. We recommend our full interior and exterior detail package, which includes a thorough exterior wash and decontamination, wheel cleaning, and a deep interior clean to extract the salt and grime tracked in all winter long.

What package do you recommend for regular maintenance in Lorraine?

For Lorraine residents who want to stay on top of their vehicle's condition year-round, a maintenance interior or exterior detail every four to six weeks is ideal. This keeps road film, dust, and daily wear from building up and makes each appointment faster and more affordable than letting it go too long.

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

Yes, Arete details all vehicle types in Lorraine, including SUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, luxury sedans, and everything in between. Pricing is adjusted by vehicle size and condition, so you always get an accurate quote before you book.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Clicking See My Price gives you an instant, transparent quote tailored to your specific vehicle size and the services you want — no phone calls, no guesswork, and no waiting for a callback. It takes only a minute and locks in your price before you commit to anything.

Will the price change after I book in Lorraine?

No. The price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. We believe Lorraine residents deserve honest, upfront pricing without any surprise charges added on the day of the appointment.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailers arrive to complete exactly what you booked — nothing more, nothing less. If they notice something worth flagging, they may mention it, but there is zero pressure to add services on the spot.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

If you are not completely satisfied with the results of your detail, contact us and we will return to make it right at no additional charge. We stand fully behind the quality of every appointment in Lorraine.

Do you have a detailing shop in Lorraine?

Arete operates as a fully mobile service, which means we come to you rather than asking you to come to us. Lorraine homeowners can have their vehicle detailed right in their own driveway — no drop-off, no waiting room, no wasted trip.

Do I need to provide water or power in Lorraine?

In most cases, yes — access to a standard outdoor water tap and a household electrical outlet helps our team deliver the best results. If you have any concerns about access at your Lorraine property, just reach out before your appointment and we'll work through the details with you.

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

Yes, we can work in covered parking garages provided there is adequate ceiling height, ventilation, and access to water and power nearby. If you live in one of Lorraine's newer multi-unit developments, contact us in advance so we can confirm the setup works for a safe and effective detail.

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

Street parking is possible in many cases, though access to water and power nearby is important. Reach out before booking if your vehicle will be on a public street in Lorraine and we'll confirm whether the location works for our mobile setup.

Do you remove road salt and winter grime from carpets in Lorraine vehicles?

Yes — road salt extraction is one of the most common requests we get from Lorraine customers, and our interior detail packages include hot-water extraction shampooing of carpets and floor mats to fully lift salt crystals, brine residue, and winter mud. It makes a dramatic difference, especially after a long Quebec winter.

Can you remove every stain?

We can remove the vast majority of stains from fabric, carpet, and leather using professional-grade products and techniques. However, some stains that have been heat-set, chemically bonded, or left untreated for a very long time may be permanently set. We'll always do our best and let you know honestly what to expect.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes, pet hair removal is included as part of our interior detail services. We use specialized tools to lift embedded fur from seats, carpets, and crevices — a must for Lorraine dog owners who spend time at Parc René-Lévesque or Curé-Poirier Park.

How long does a Lorraine detailing appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the package selected and the size and condition of your vehicle, but most details range from two to five hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Lorraine?

Yes, Arete can service work trucks and small fleets in Lorraine. If you manage multiple vehicles, contact us directly to discuss scheduling and volume pricing that fits your operation.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Lorraine?

Absolutely. Rideshare and delivery drivers operating out of Lorraine and commuting into Montreal put serious mileage and wear on their interiors, and regular professional cleaning helps maintain ratings and vehicle condition. We offer flexible scheduling to work around your driving hours.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove personal belongings, loose items, documents, car seats if you prefer, and any valuables from the vehicle before we arrive. The less clutter inside, the more efficiently and thoroughly we can clean every surface.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed child car seats but do not remove or reinstall them for liability and safety reasons. If you'd like the area beneath the seat cleaned thoroughly, we recommend removing the seat yourself before the appointment.

What happens if it rains in Lorraine?

Light rain typically does not affect interior-only services. For exterior work, we monitor weather closely and will contact you if conditions require rescheduling. Lorraine's unpredictable shoulder-season weather means we stay flexible and always prioritize quality results.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Lorraine?

Yes, and we take extra care with luxury vehicles. Our detailers are experienced with high-end finishes, delicate leather, and sensitive trim materials common in the premium SUVs and European sedans frequently found in Lorraine's more upscale neighbourhoods like Les Jardins de Lorraine.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes. Leather seat cleaning and conditioning is included in our interior detail packages. We use pH-balanced leather cleaners and conditioners to lift grime while nourishing the leather and protecting it from cracking — especially important given Quebec's dry winter indoor heat.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes, hot-water extraction shampooing of cloth seats, carpets, and floor mats is a core part of our interior detail service. It's the most effective way to remove the deep-set dirt, salt residue, and odors that accumulate in Lorraine vehicles through a full winter season.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes. Wheel and tire cleaning is included in our exterior detail packages. Lorraine's road salt and brake dust combine to create a stubborn buildup on wheels, and we use dedicated wheel cleaners to safely dissolve it and restore a clean finish.

Can you remove odors from a Lorraine vehicle?

Yes. We address odors at the source through deep cleaning of carpets, seats, and surfaces rather than simply masking them with fragrance. For persistent odors from pets, smoke, mildew, or food spills, we can also discuss additional odor-elimination treatments when you book.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes, we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, blood, and similar situations using proper protective equipment and disinfecting agents. An additional biohazard fee applies, and we ask that you disclose the situation when booking so we arrive fully prepared.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected securely at the time of booking through our online platform. We accept all major credit cards and the transaction is fully encrypted. There are no cash payments required at the appointment.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We ask for reasonable notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Please refer to the cancellation policy presented at the time of booking for full details. We understand that schedules change and we do our best to accommodate rescheduling requests.

Can you come today in Lorraine?

Same-day appointments in Lorraine are available depending on detailer schedule and your location. Use the booking tool to check real-time availability — spots fill up quickly, especially in the busy spring post-winter season when everyone in Lorraine wants their car cleaned at once.

What if I am not happy with something?

Contact us right away and we will make it right. Our satisfaction guarantee means we'll return to address any area you feel was missed or didn't meet your expectations — no arguments, no hassle.

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

For most Lorraine residents, mobile detailing is the clear winner — there's no need to drive to a shop, wait around, or arrange a ride back. We come to your driveway off Boulevard de Gaulle or Chemin de la Grande-Côte while you work from home, relax, or take care of other things, and the results are every bit as thorough as any fixed-location shop.

How often should I detail my car in Lorraine?

Given Lorraine's harsh Quebec winters, heavy road salting on Autoroute 640 and 15, and the daily commuting most residents do, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — once in spring after salt season and once in the fall before winter sets in — with lighter maintenance details every four to six weeks in between to keep your vehicle in top shape year-round.
