Car Detailing Olds

Yes — Arete Car Detailing covers all of Olds, including Downtown Olds, Uptowne Olds, Clearview, Mountainview Heights, East Olds, and West Highlands. If you're in or around Olds, we can come to your home, workplace, or wherever your vehicle is parked.

Absolutely — we can meet you at Olds College while you're in class, at the Olds Sportsplex during a game, or at any other location around town. Mobile detailing means the service comes to you, so you're never out of your way.

For vehicles dealing with gravel range roads, farm mud, and Alberta's notorious spring melt season, we strongly recommend our full interior and exterior detail package. It's built to remove heavy soiling from carpets, floor mats, and wheel wells — exactly the kind of buildup that Olds-area trucks and SUVs accumulate.

For drivers who want to stay on top of things between deep cleans, our maintenance detail packages keep your interior fresh and your exterior protected from the salt and grit that come with Highway 2 commutes and Alberta winters. We recommend booking every four to six weeks for best results.

Yes — we detail all vehicle types in Olds, from heavy-duty work trucks and family SUVs to minivans and luxury cars. Our pricing and packages are sized to your vehicle so you always get the right level of service.

Clicking See My Price gives you an instant, accurate quote based on your specific vehicle size and the services you want — no guessing, no vague estimates. It takes less than a minute and locks in your price before you book.

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay. We don't add surprise fees at the appointment, so you can book with confidence knowing exactly what to expect.

No. Our detailers focus entirely on doing the job you booked, not on pushing extra services at your door. If we notice something worth mentioning, we'll let you know, but there's never any pressure.

It means that if something isn't right, we'll make it right — simple as that. Let us know within 24 hours and we'll return to address any concerns at no additional charge.

Arete is a fully mobile detailing service, which means we come to you anywhere in Olds rather than you driving to a fixed location. This saves you time and makes professional detailing more convenient than ever.

In most cases, no — our mobile units are self-sufficient and carry everything needed to complete your detail. If your specific booking requires access to water or power, we'll let you know in advance.

Yes, in many cases we can work in covered or underground parking in Olds, as long as there's reasonable access and ventilation for our equipment. Just mention your parking situation when booking and we'll confirm the details.

Yes — if your vehicle is parked on a residential street in Olds, we can typically work there without any issues. Just let us know the location when you book and we'll take care of the rest.

Yes — our interior detailing includes thorough vacuuming and hot water extraction shampooing to pull out the road salt, farm mud, and gritty dust that Olds-area vehicles accumulate through the seasons. Heavily soiled carpets and floor mats are no problem for our team.

We can remove most stains using professional-grade extraction and stain treatment products, and our results are consistently impressive. However, some older or set-in stains may be permanently bonded to fibres — we'll always be honest with you about what's achievable before we finish.

Yes — pet hair removal is included in our interior detail packages. We use specialized tools to pull embedded hair from seats, carpet, and crevices that a standard vacuum simply can't reach.

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

Yes — we regularly detail work trucks, farm vehicles, and fleet units throughout the Olds area. Whether it's a single heavy-duty pickup or multiple vehicles, we can accommodate fleet bookings and get them cleaned up between jobs.

Absolutely — regular detailing is essential for rideshare and delivery drivers in Olds who put serious mileage on their vehicles and need a consistently clean, professional interior. We can work around your schedule to minimize downtime.

Please remove any personal valuables, important documents, loose gear, and child car seats if possible. The more accessible the interior, the more thorough a clean we can deliver.

We clean around and beneath installed car seats, but we ask that you remove them before the appointment if you'd like the seat area fully detailed. We don't disassemble or reinstall car seats for safety liability reasons.

Alberta weather can be unpredictable, and if conditions make it impossible to complete your exterior detail safely, we'll work with you to reschedule at no penalty. Interior-only services can usually proceed regardless of weather.

Yes — our team is experienced with luxury vehicles and uses premium, paint-safe products appropriate for high-end finishes and delicate interiors. Whether it's a luxury SUV or a performance vehicle, your investment is in good hands.

Yes — leather cleaning and conditioning is part of our interior detail service. We use products specifically designed for leather to clean, moisturize, and protect the material without causing damage or discolouration.

Yes — hot water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets is included in our full interior packages. This removes deep-set dirt, allergens, odour-causing bacteria, and staining that vacuuming alone can't touch.

Yes — wheels and tires are cleaned as part of our exterior detail packages. We remove brake dust, road grime, and caked-on mud before dressing the tires for a clean, finished look.

Yes — most odours are eliminated through our deep interior cleaning process, which removes the source of the smell rather than just masking it. For persistent odours like smoke or mildew, we can discuss additional odour-elimination treatments.

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, urine, and similar situations using appropriate sanitation products. Please mention this when booking so we can allocate the right time and supplies for your appointment.

Payment is collected after the service is complete and can be made by credit card, debit, or other accepted digital methods. We keep the process simple and straightforward.

We ask for reasonable notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Please check our current cancellation policy when booking, as fees may apply for last-minute cancellations that leave our detailers without enough time to fill the slot.

Same-day availability in Olds depends on our current schedule, but we often have openings — click See My Price and check available time slots for today. Booking early in the morning gives you the best chance of securing a same-day appointment.

Your satisfaction is our priority. Contact us within 24 hours of your appointment and we'll return to make it right at no cost to you — no arguments, no hassle.

For most Olds residents, mobile detailing is the more practical choice — there's no drop-off, no waiting room, and no second trip to pick your vehicle up. You stay home, at work, or carry on with your day while we take care of everything at your location.

Given Olds's harsh winters, road salt, gravel range roads, and muddy spring seasons, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — once in spring to remove winter damage and once in fall before the cold sets in. Monthly or bi-monthly maintenance details will keep your vehicle in the best shape year-round.
