Yes — if you have access to a driveway or a parking spot near Mont-Saint-Bruno, we can absolutely come to you. Many Saint-Basile-le-Grand residents book us after trail days when their vehicles need a full exterior wash and interior clean to remove mud and organic debris from the park.

Saint-Basile-le-Grand winters are brutal on vehicle finishes — months of road salt on Highway 116, Highway 30, and Boulevard Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier can corrode paint and contaminate your clear coat. We recommend our Full Detail package with a paint decontamination add-on every spring to remove salt deposits, neutralize brake dust, and restore protection before the humid summer season sets in.

For regular upkeep, most Saint-Basile-le-Grand residents do well with our Interior or Exterior Detail every six to eight weeks, keeping seasonal pollen, everyday dirt, and commuter grime from building up. If you want both covered in one visit, our Full Detail is excellent value and keeps your vehicle in top shape year-round.

Yes — we detail every vehicle type you'll find in Saint-Basile-le-Grand driveways, from family minivans and three-row SUVs to pickup trucks, luxury sedans, and sports cars. Pricing is adjusted by vehicle size so you always pay the right amount for your specific vehicle.

Our pricing is based on your vehicle's size, condition, and the specific services you want — so rather than guess, we give you an exact, transparent quote tailored to your car before you commit to anything. Clicking See My Price takes less than a minute and guarantees there are no surprises when we show up.

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. We believe in honest, upfront pricing so Saint-Basile-le-Grand customers can book with complete confidence.

Never. Our detailers show up to do exactly what you booked — no pressure, no surprise add-ons, and no awkward sales pitches at your driveway. If you ever want to add a service, that's always your choice and fully optional.

It means that if you're not completely happy with any part of your detail, we come back and make it right at no additional charge. We stand behind our work on every single appointment in Saint-Basile-le-Grand.

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, which means we bring the shop to you anywhere in Saint-Basile-le-Grand. This saves you the trip, the wait, and the hassle of arranging a ride home — we come to your home, your workplace, or wherever your vehicle is parked.

Our mobile units carry their own water supply and power equipment for most services, so in most cases you don't need to provide anything. If your specific package requires access to an outdoor tap or outlet, we'll let you know clearly when you book.

In many cases, yes — as long as there is adequate ventilation and you have permission from your building to have work done in the garage. Saint-Basile-le-Grand has a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit residences, and we're experienced working in both environments. Reach out if you have specific questions about your building.

Yes, as long as you're permitted to park there and we have enough space to work safely around the vehicle. Many of our Saint-Basile-le-Grand clients on tree-lined streets like Chemin des Vingt book us for street-side appointments without any issues.

Absolutely — road salt tracked in from Highway 116 and local streets is one of the most common carpet issues we see in Saint-Basile-le-Grand vehicles. Our interior detail includes a thorough vacuum and hot-water extraction shampoo that lifts salt residue, grit, and embedded dirt from carpet fibres and floor mats.

We can remove the vast majority of stains using professional-grade extractors and targeted stain treatments, but some very old or set-in stains may be permanently bonded to fabric. We'll always be honest with you upfront about what to realistically expect, and we work hard to get the best possible result on every vehicle.

Yes — pet hair removal is one of our most requested services in Saint-Basile-le-Grand, especially from families with dogs that come along for hikes at Mont-Saint-Bruno. We use specialized tools and techniques to extract embedded pet hair from seats, carpets, and cargo areas that a standard vacuum simply can't reach.

Timing depends on the package and your vehicle's size and condition, but most interior or exterior details take between two and four hours, while a full detail on a larger SUV or minivan may take up to five or six hours. We'll give you an estimated time range when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

Yes — we work with contractors, tradespeople, and small business owners throughout Saint-Basile-le-Grand and the South Shore to keep their work trucks and fleet vehicles clean and presentable. Contact us to discuss volume pricing or recurring maintenance schedules for multiple vehicles.

Definitely — rideshare and delivery drivers working routes through Saint-Basile-le-Grand, across Highway 30, and into greater Montreal rely on clean, odour-free vehicles to maintain their ratings and professionalism. We offer flexible scheduling so you can book around your driving hours and minimize downtime.

Please remove any personal valuables, loose items, and documents you wouldn't want moved — things like wallets, electronics, paperwork, and child car seats if possible. The less clutter in the vehicle, the more efficiently we can deep-clean every surface.

We clean around installed child car seats but do not remove or reinstall them, as that must be done by a certified technician for safety reasons. If you remove the seat beforehand, we can thoroughly clean the upholstery underneath and the surrounding area.

For interior-only appointments, rain is generally not a problem at all. For exterior services, we monitor the weather closely and will contact you proactively to reschedule at no penalty if conditions in Saint-Basile-le-Grand won't allow us to deliver the quality you're paying for.

Yes — we regularly detail luxury vehicles including European sedans, high-end SUVs, and performance cars for clients across Saint-Basile-le-Grand. Our detailers are trained in the proper techniques and use premium, paint-safe products appropriate for sensitive finishes and delicate interior materials.

Yes — we clean leather seats using pH-balanced, leather-safe cleaners that lift grime and body oils without drying or cracking the material, followed by a conditioner to restore suppleness and protect against wear. This is especially important in Quebec's climate, where extreme heat in summer and dry winter air can both damage untreated leather.

Yes — our interior detail includes hot-water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets, which pulls out embedded dirt, salt residue, food spills, and allergens far more effectively than vacuuming alone. Saint-Basile-le-Grand families with kids and pets especially love the results.

Yes — wheels and tires are included in our exterior detail packages. We use dedicated wheel cleaners to dissolve brake dust and road grime from rims, and dress tires to leave them with a clean, rich finish that protects the rubber.

Yes — we address odors at the source through deep cleaning of carpets, seats, and hard surfaces, which eliminates the bacteria and organic matter causing the smell rather than just masking it. For severe odors from pets, smoke, or mildew, we can also discuss additional odor-neutralization treatments.

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, urine, and similar incidents using proper sanitation protocols and enzyme-based cleaners that break down organic matter and eliminate associated odors. Additional fees apply for biohazard situations, and we'll be transparent about that before we begin.

Payment is collected digitally and securely after your appointment is complete — we accept all major credit and debit cards. There's no need for cash, and you'll receive a digital receipt immediately after payment.

We understand that life happens, and we ask for reasonable notice if you need to reschedule so we can offer that time to another customer. Please check your booking confirmation for our current cancellation policy details, and don't hesitate to reach out if your plans change.

Same-day availability in Saint-Basile-le-Grand depends on our current schedule, but we often have openings — the fastest way to find out is to click See My Price and check available time slots in real time. We recommend booking as early in the day as possible if you need service quickly.

Just let us know. Our satisfaction guarantee means we will return to address any concern free of charge — we want every Saint-Basile-le-Grand customer to be genuinely thrilled with the result, and we take every piece of feedback seriously.

For most Saint-Basile-le-Grand residents, mobile detailing is a far more convenient option — there's no driving to a shop on Highway 116, no waiting room, and no arranging a ride home. You get professional results delivered to your driveway while you go about your day, with the same quality equipment and products as any fixed-location shop.

Given Saint-Basile-le-Grand's harsh winters with heavy road salt, humid summers that accelerate organic buildup, and abundant tree pollen from areas like Boisé des Érables and near Mont-Saint-Bruno, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — once in spring to remove winter damage and once in fall before the salt season begins — with interior maintenance details every six to eight weeks in between.
