See Your Price Before You Book

River Falls has an unusually wide mix of vehicles on the road — from compact cars driven by UWRF students to three-quarter-ton work trucks caked in farm mud — and the time and product it takes to properly detail a full-size pickup is genuinely different from what a midsize sedan requires. Our pricing reflects actual vehicle size so you're never paying a truck rate for a Civic or getting a rushed job on a Silverado.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a UWRF student special, a family SUV, or a mud-covered work truck, pick the size that fits.

2. Pick Your Package

Then choose the package that matches what your vehicle actually needs, whether that's a thorough interior extraction or full paint decontamination after a long Wisconsin winter.

3. Confirm Online

Your total is locked in right there — take a look, and if it works for you, grab a time on the schedule.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll see your exact price before you book anything — no add-ons pushed at checkout, no vague 'starting at' numbers that balloon once we see your vehicle. What the price says is what you pay.

Why River Falls Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

River Falls sits at a crossroads of hard commuter miles, agricultural back roads, and four brutal seasons that each leave their own mark on your paint and interior. From the salt-soaked stretch of US-65 heading toward the Twin Cities to muddy County Road M after a spring thaw, your vehicle works harder than most people realize.

Salt Eats Your Undercarriage

Every winter morning you pull onto US-65 for the commute west, you're driving through brine-treated pavement that clings to wheel wells, brake components, and the undercarriage of your truck or SUV long after the road dries. River Falls winters don't let up — multiple freeze-thaw cycles keep salt active and corrosive for months at a time. AWD and 4WD vehicles have more exposed drivetrain components underneath, which means more surface area for that salt to quietly do damage.

Farm Mud Goes Everywhere

Spring thaw in Pierce and St. Croix counties turns the shoulders of WI-29 and the rural county roads into soft, clay-heavy mud that sprays up into fender liners and packs into floor mats with every trip. Pickup truck owners who pull off onto field access roads or gravel farm lanes are hauling pounds of that mud back into town without thinking twice. Even daily drivers on Division Street start picking up residue when the melt runoff crosses the pavement — it gets everywhere.

Pollen Blankets Every Vehicle

The Kinnickinnic River valley funnels a heavy pollen season each spring, and the mix of agricultural fields, tree canopy along WI-35, and campus green space means River Falls vehicles sit under an almost continuous yellow-green dusting for weeks. University students parking overnight near campus find their subcompact cars coated by morning, while commuters who park outside in the metro and then drive back find a fresh layer waiting for them each evening. Pollen is mildly acidic and bonds to clear coat faster than most people expect, especially on darker paint.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in River Falls

Between the daily grind on US-65, the seasonal mud cycles on rural Pierce County roads, and the outdoor lifestyle that draws people to River Falls in the first place, vehicles here accumulate damage that builds up quietly and compounds over time. These are the six most common problems we pull off River Falls vehicles every week.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Undercarriage, wheel wells, lower rocker panels, brake lines. Daily US-65 commuters are exposing their vehicles to treated roads from November through March, and that salt doesn't rinse off with rain alone. Trucks and SUVs with lifted suspensions trap brine in areas that never fully dry out between drives.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield, wiper blades. Spring pollen in the Kinnickinnic valley settles fast and sticks to any surface with the slightest moisture or warmth. Left untreated for even a week, it starts to etch into unprotected clear coat and leaves a haze that regular washing won't fully remove.

🥾 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Floor mats, carpet fibers, door sill trim, seat tracks. County Road M and the gravel approaches around River Falls feed red clay mud directly into your cab every wet season. Once it dries and grinds into carpet fibers, standard vacuuming only pulls out the surface layer — the rest gets compacted deeper with every step.

🐛 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, hood leading edge, windshield, side mirrors. The evening commute back from the Twin Cities on US-65 during summer months turns every front end into a bug graveyard, especially on pickup trucks and SUVs with large flat surfaces. Bug protein bonds to paint within days and becomes significantly harder to remove the longer it sits in the heat.

🌲 Tree Sap

Where it shows up: Roof, hood, trunk, and anywhere the vehicle parks under canopy. River Falls neighborhoods and the streets near UWRF campus are lined with mature trees that drop sap steadily from late spring through summer. Sap hardens in the sun and can pull clear coat if someone tries to scrub it off without the right products and technique.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Windows, door panels, painted horizontal surfaces. Automatic car washes and outdoor rinsing with well water — common in rural parts of Pierce County — leave behind mineral deposits that etch into glass and paint as the water evaporates. What looks like light spotting after a wash can become permanently etched into the surface if it's not treated with a proper decontamination process.

River Falls Car Detailing Packages

Most River Falls vehicles coming through our shop need more than a basic wash — they've got salt residue working into seams, mud pressed into carpet, or a winter's worth of grime on surfaces that rarely get touched at a drive-through wash. Our packages are built around what River Falls driving actually does to a vehicle, not a generic national template.

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

River Falls draws a wide mix of drivers — daily Twin Cities commuters, UWRF faculty, farm families, and students all sharing the same roads and the same seasonal punishment. Mobile detailing fits the pace of a town where people are always moving between work, campus, the river, and home.

Busy Professionals

If you're logging miles on US-65 to the Twin Cities five days a week, your vehicle takes a beating before most people have finished their coffee. Arete slots into your workday so your car is detailed and ready without costing you a single hour of personal time.

Parents & Families

Between school runs on Division Street, weekend trips to the Kinnickinnic, and every muddy pair of cleats that's ever touched your back seat, family vehicles in River Falls earn their grime. We deep-clean the crumbs, the tracked-in mud, and the mystery stains so you're not embarrassed by your own car.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Plenty of residents in Glen Hills and Westridge condos don't have a private driveway or access to a hose, making a traditional detail nearly impossible to arrange. Arete works directly in your assigned parking stall or covered garage space — no extra logistics on your end.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers running routes through River Falls and out toward Hudson or Prescott need a clean, presentable vehicle to protect their ratings and their income. We work around your schedule so your interior stays fresh and your car keeps earning.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Contractors, ag workers, and trades crews based around River Falls put their trucks through conditions most vehicles never see — farm mud, gravel dust off County Road M, and job-site debris piling up week after week. Arete handles the heavy-duty cleaning that keeps your work truck presentable and your equipment protected.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

A luxury vehicle parked in River Falls faces the same road salt and spring mud as every other car on WI-35 — but the paint, leather, and trim demand a higher standard of care. Arete uses surface-specific products and careful technique to protect the finish and interior of vehicles that represent a serious investment.

💰 See My Price

Vehicles We Detail

River Falls roads carry everything from UWRF student subcompacts to full-size farm pickups and loaded family SUVs, and each one brings a different surface area, interior layout, and level of soiling. Pricing reflects the real time and product it takes to detail each vehicle type properly — nothing inflated, nothing cut short.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans driven by students, staff, and daily commuters in River Falls accumulate highway grime, road salt residue, and interior wear faster than most owners realize. A thorough detail restores the interior and protects the exterior so the car looks and feels the way it should.

SUVs & Crossovers

AWD and 4WD SUVs are the default vehicle in River Falls for good reason — they handle the winters, the gravel, and the river valley terrain — but that same capability means interiors and undercarriages take a serious hit. We clean the third row, the cargo area, the floor tracks, and every hard-to-reach corner that a quick vacuum misses.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks in River Falls work hard all week and then get asked to look presentable on the weekend, which is a tall order when they've been hauling equipment or running muddy back roads. Arete cleans the bed, the cab, the running boards, and the wheel wells so your truck looks as capable as it actually is.

Minivans

River Falls families rely on minivans to move kids, gear, sports equipment, and everything else that goes along with a busy household, and the interiors show every mile of it. We get into the seat tracks, the door pockets, the middle-row floor, and every surface a family of five can reach.

Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles in River Falls deserve more than a generic wash-and-vacuum, especially when winter brine and spring road debris are working against paint and trim all season long. We bring the correct products and the right technique for every surface — leather, soft-close trim, coated paint — and we treat the vehicle accordingly.

Commercial Vehicles

Vans, service rigs, and fleet vehicles based in River Falls represent the public face of local businesses, and a dirty vehicle sends the wrong message before anyone says a word. Arete cleans commercial vehicles at your lot or job site so your team shows up looking professional without any scheduling headaches.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

River Falls doesn't have a one-size-fits-all parking situation — some residents have wide private driveways, others have a single apartment stall, and plenty of people park on the street near downtown or along the campus corridor. Arete is built to work in all of them, bringing everything needed to do the job right regardless of where the vehicle sits.

Driveways

A private driveway in River Falls is the most comfortable setup for a mobile detail — there's space to work all four sides of the vehicle without obstacles, and we're completely self-sufficient on water and power. Residents in North Hill, South Ridge, and other neighborhoods with single-family homes can book with confidence knowing we'll have everything we need.

Condo Garages

Covered parking garages at River Falls condo developments work well for detailing because they keep the vehicle out of direct sun and out of the weather while we work. We operate cleanly within your assigned space and leave the surrounding area exactly as we found it.

Apartment Parking Lots

Apartment lots across River Falls — from student housing near UWRF to residential complexes on the south end of town — are everyday workspaces for Arete. As long as we have reasonable access to the vehicle, we bring everything we need and get the job done without requiring you to move to a different location.

Office Parking Lots

If you work at Royal Credit Union, the River Falls Medical Clinic, or anywhere else with a parking lot, your vehicle can be detailed while you're inside doing your job. Book a morning appointment, walk in to work, and come back to a clean car — the day loses nothing.

Street Parking

Street parking near downtown River Falls or in the campus-adjacent neighborhoods is a practical reality for a lot of residents, and Arete works with it. We assess the space, confirm access, and get the detail done cleanly wherever the vehicle is legally parked.

Commercial Lots

Business owners and fleet managers in River Falls can schedule Arete to come directly to their commercial property and work through vehicles on-site. It's a straightforward way to keep a small fleet clean without pulling drivers off the road or sending vehicles across town.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A real detail in River Falls means addressing what actually collects in a vehicle driven through Wisconsin winters, muddy spring thaws, and long highway commutes — not just making the surface look clean from ten feet away. Arete works through every section of the vehicle with the right tools and the right products for what's actually there.

Better Interior Access

Reaching the floor tracks under River Falls SUV seats, the cargo area corners of a loaded pickup, or the tight gaps in a student's well-worn sedan requires more than a standard vacuum attachment. Arete uses detailing-specific access tools to pull dirt, salt grit, and debris out of every recess the vehicle has.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Cloth seats and carpeting in River Falls vehicles carry tracked-in mud, road salt, and the kind of embedded grime that builds up over a full Wisconsin winter without announcing itself until you look closely. We use fabric-safe solutions calibrated to lift that soiling completely without leaving residue or damaging the material underneath.

Surface-Specific Products

Leather, plastic trim, painted surfaces, rubber seals, and glass each respond differently to cleaning agents, and using the wrong product on any of them creates new problems. Arete selects surface-specific formulas for every material in the vehicle so nothing gets cleaned at the expense of something else.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

Steering wheels, door pull handles, gear selectors, and touch screens accumulate bacteria and grime at a rate that ordinary wiping doesn't address. Steam penetrates these high-contact surfaces and sanitizes them without chemicals that could damage sensitive materials or leave any residue behind.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on River Falls vehicles accumulate road salt brine, farm dust, gravel debris from County Road M, and heavy brake dust from long highway commutes — a combination that bonds to rims and eats at finishes if it's not properly removed. We clean each wheel individually with the right product for the coating and take the time to get into the spokes and the barrel, not just the face.

Final Walkaround

When the work is done, we walk the entire vehicle with you — exterior panels, interior surfaces, glass, wheels — so you can confirm every section meets the standard before anything else happens. If something needs another pass, we do it on the spot, no questions asked.

River Falls Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Living in River Falls means your vehicle absorbs a full year of genuinely harsh conditions — road salt in winter, farm mud in spring, highway insects in summer, and leaf tannins in fall — each one doing its own kind of damage if it isn't addressed. Staying on top of seasonal cleaning is one of the most practical things a River Falls driver can do for their vehicle's long-term condition.

Winter

Wisconsin DOT applies heavy road salt and brine spray to US-65 and WI-35 throughout the River Falls winter, and that chemistry bonds to paint, works into wheel wells, and attacks exposed metal on undercarriages. Every week the vehicle sits salt-covered adds to the cumulative corrosion load that shortens the life of brakes, frame components, and finish. A thorough detail after the season's major storms — or at minimum before the thaw — removes that buildup before it does lasting harm.

Spring

Spring thaw in the River Falls area turns gravel rural roads and farm access routes into mud channels, and that thick clay-heavy soil ends up packed into wheel arches, tracked through interiors, and smeared across paint. Flooded low sections of county roads add another layer of silty residue that dries hard and stains if it isn't flushed out promptly. A spring detail clears everything the winter left behind and gives the vehicle a clean foundation for the warmer months ahead.

Summer

The long daily commute on US-65 through the St. Croix River corridor turns front bumpers and hoods into insect graveyards from June through August, and that protein-based splatter etches into clear coat if it's allowed to bake in the heat. Dense tree pollen from the Kinnickinnic valley and sap from overhanging hardwoods add a sticky film that traps additional contamination on every horizontal surface. Summer detailing keeps those deposits from permanently bonding and protects the paint through the heaviest exposure months.

Fall

Fallen leaves in the Kinnickinnic River corridor and throughout River Falls neighborhoods leave tannin stains on paint and clog drainage channels around windows and sunroofs if they're not cleared regularly. Early frost events coat windshields and exterior trim with a grime-locking layer that makes subsequent cleaning harder. A fall detail before winter arrives removes organic debris and gives the paint and seals the best possible protection heading into salt season.

Arete brings showroom-quality detailing right to your downtown spot, so your car looks as sharp as the city center itself.

Kinnickinnic River Corridor

Living along the Kinnickinnic River means your vehicle earns its dirt — muddy trail access points, pollen-heavy spring air, and splash-back from gravel pull-offs add up fast. Arete's deep interior and exterior detailing restores your car after every adventure along the Kinni.

North Hill

Frequently Serviced River Falls Areas & Landmarks

River Falls is full of busy hubs where your car sits parked for hours at a time — making them ideal opportunities for Arete's mobile detailers to come to you and get the job done while you're already occupied. From the UW-River Falls campus to the River Falls Area Hospital, we work around your schedule at the locations that matter most to you.

University of Wisconsin-River Falls

Students, faculty, and staff at UW-River Falls leave their cars parked in campus lots for hours — and those vehicles take a beating from harsh Wisconsin winters, muddy spring walkways, and pollen-coated parking under the trees. Book Arete to detail your car while you're in class or at the office, and come back to a vehicle that feels brand new.

River Falls Area Hospital

Healthcare workers and visitors at River Falls Area Hospital often spend long shifts or extended hours with their vehicles sitting in the parking lot — the perfect window for Arete to deliver a full detail without costing you a minute of your personal time. A clean, fresh-smelling car is a welcome relief after a long day at the hospital.

Kinnickinnic State Park

After a day of tubing, kayaking, or hiking at Kinnickinnic State Park, your vehicle's interior tells the whole story — wet gear, sandy footwells, and that unmistakable river smell. Arete specializes in post-adventure deep cleans that get your car back to pre-park condition, inside and out.

River Falls Public Library

The River Falls Public Library draws a steady stream of locals who are already spending time away from their vehicles — making it a smart and convenient place to schedule a mobile detail.

Can you detail near the University of Wisconsin-River Falls?

Yes — we regularly detail vehicles in and around the UW-River Falls campus, whether you're parked in a campus lot, nearby on Division Street, or at a residence close to campus. It's one of the most convenient times to book since your car sits untouched while you're inside for hours.

What package is best for winter salt and farm mud in River Falls?

River Falls vehicles take a real beating from road salt on US-65 and WI-35, spring mud from County Road M and rural gravel roads, and everything the Kinnickinnic valley throws at you — we recommend our Full Detail package, which includes a thorough interior extraction, carpet shampoo, and a full exterior decontamination wash to tackle that embedded salt and mud properly.

What package is best for regular maintenance in River Falls?

For drivers who want to stay on top of things between the big seasonal cleans, our Interior or Exterior packages work great as standalone maintenance details — most River Falls commuters heading into the Twin Cities metro find booking every 6–8 weeks keeps their vehicle in excellent shape year-round.

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

Yes — we detail all vehicle types in River Falls, including SUVs, minivans, full-size trucks, and luxury cars. Pricing is based on vehicle size and the package you choose, so you always get an accurate quote before booking.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Every vehicle and every detail job is different — clicking 'See My Price' lets us give you an accurate, personalized quote based on your vehicle's size, type, and the package you want, rather than showing you a generic number that might not reflect the actual service you need.

Will the price change after I book in River Falls?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete believes in complete pricing transparency, so there are no surprise charges waiting for you at the end of your appointment in River Falls.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

No — our detailers don't pitch additional services during your appointment. You chose your package when you booked, and that's exactly what gets delivered. We believe the experience should feel professional and pressure-free from start to finish.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

It means that if something isn't right when your detail is complete, we will make it right — no hassle, no argument. We stand behind our work and want every River Falls customer to walk away genuinely happy with their vehicle.

Do you have a detailing shop in River Falls?

Arete is a fully mobile detailing service, which means we don't have a brick-and-mortar shop — and that's intentional. We come to your home, workplace, or any convenient location in River Falls so you never have to drive anywhere or wait in a lobby.

Do I need to provide water or power in River Falls?

In most cases, no — our mobile units are self-contained with their own water supply and power equipment. If your specific booking requires access to an outlet or water hookup, we'll let you know well in advance.

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

Yes — we can work in covered parking structures and apartment garages throughout River Falls, including buildings near Downtown and the UW-River Falls area. Just make sure there's enough clearance and ventilation for our equipment, and we'll handle the rest.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in River Falls?

Yes — as long as there is reasonable access to your vehicle and legal parking at the location, we can detail a car parked on the street anywhere in River Falls, including along Division Street or in residential neighbourhoods like North Hill and Glen Hills.

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

Yes — this is some of the most common work we do in River Falls, where winter road salt from US-65 and WI-35, spring mud from rural County Road M, and seasonal construction debris all end up ground into carpet fibres. Our deep extraction and shampoo process is specifically designed to tackle these stubborn River Falls conditions.

Can you remove every stain?

We can remove the vast majority of stains using professional-grade products and techniques, but some stains that have been set for a long time or have permanently altered the fabric may not come out completely. We will always be honest with you about what to expect before we begin.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is included in our interior packages. Whether it's a golden retriever after a hike at Kinnickinnic State Park or a cat that claimed your back seat, we use specialized tools to extract pet hair from seats, carpets, and crevices.

How long does a River Falls detailing appointment take?

Appointment times vary based on vehicle size and package, but most River Falls details run between 1.5 and 4 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book so you can plan accordingly — many customers in River Falls just schedule around their workday or a park visit.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in River Falls?

Yes — Arete services work trucks and commercial fleet vehicles throughout River Falls and the surrounding area. If you operate a business locally or run a fleet of vehicles that commute into the Twin Cities, contact us to discuss a recurring fleet detailing schedule.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in River Falls?

Absolutely — rideshare and delivery drivers operating in River Falls and the commuter corridor into the Twin Cities metro put serious wear on their vehicle interiors quickly. We offer packages that are a great fit for high-frequency interior refreshes to keep your ratings and your vehicle in top shape.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove any personal valuables, important documents, car seats if possible, and any large items from the trunk or cargo area before your appointment. The more accessible your vehicle's interior, the more thorough and efficient our detailing team can be.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed car seats and can wipe down hard surfaces on the seat itself, but we do not disassemble or remove car seats due to safety re-installation liability. We recommend removing the seat before the appointment if you want the area beneath it fully cleaned.

What happens if it rains in River Falls?

If rain is in the forecast for your River Falls appointment, we'll be in touch to discuss options — we can often work under a covered area like a garage or carport, or we'll reschedule you at no charge. Wisconsin weather is unpredictable and we work with you, not against you.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in River Falls?

Yes — our detailers are trained and equipped to work on luxury and high-end vehicles, using products and techniques appropriate for premium paint, leather, and trim materials. Your luxury vehicle gets the careful, respectful treatment it deserves.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather seat cleaning and conditioning is part of our interior packages. We use appropriate cleaners and conditioners that lift dirt and grime without drying out or damaging the leather, leaving your seats looking and feeling restored.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — hot water extraction and shampooing of cloth seats and carpets is included in our full interior services. This is especially popular in River Falls after muddy spring thaws and long winters leave carpets heavily soiled.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is included in our exterior packages. We remove brake dust, road grime, and the mud that River Falls gravel roads and spring thaws pile onto your wheels, finishing with a tire dressing that leaves them looking clean and sharp.

Can you remove odors from a River Falls vehicle?

Yes — we address odors at the source through deep cleaning, extraction, and odor-eliminating treatments rather than just masking them with fragrance. Common River Falls culprits like wet dog, river water, gym gear, and food smells are no match for a thorough Arete detail.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, and this service requires specific products and protocols to sanitize properly. Please mention this when booking so we can ensure your appointment is set up correctly and bring the appropriate supplies.

How do I pay?

Payment is simple and handled digitally — we accept all major credit and debit cards and payment is processed at the time of booking or upon completion of your service. There's no need for cash and no awkward payment exchange at the end of your appointment.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We understand that schedules change — please cancel or reschedule as early as possible so we can offer your spot to another River Falls customer. Check your booking confirmation for the specific cancellation policy that applies to your appointment.

Can you come today in River Falls?

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in River Falls?

For most River Falls residents, mobile detailing is far more convenient — there's no driving across town, no waiting room, and no wasted time. Whether you're home in Glen Hills, at work near Downtown, or parked near the hospital, Arete comes to you and gives your vehicle one-on-one dedicated attention rather than rushing it through a shop queue.

How often should I detail my car in River Falls?

Given River Falls' harsh winters with heavy road salt, muddy spring thaws from the Kinnickinnic valley, high pollen seasons, and the general wear from outdoor recreation and Twin Cities commuting, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — and a maintenance interior or exterior detail every 6–8 weeks to protect your investment between those deep cleans.
