Yes! We regularly serve customers in the Stone Mountain Park area and the surrounding neighborhoods. Whether you want a detail at your home after a day on the trails, or you need a refresh before a big outing, we bring everything we need right to you.

Stone Mountain's intense spring pollen and notorious red Georgia clay call for our Full Detail package, which includes a clay bar decontamination treatment to pull bonded particles from your paint, plus a thorough interior extraction to lift clay and pollen residue from carpets and floor mats. If your paint has heavy oxidation from humid summers, ask about adding a paint enhancement.

For Stone Mountain drivers who want to stay on top of highway film from I-285 and US-78 commutes and seasonal pollen buildup, we recommend our Essential Detail on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule. It keeps your exterior protected and your interior fresh without the cost of a full deep clean every time.

Yes — Arete details every vehicle type in Stone Mountain, from family minivans and three-row SUVs loaded with youth sports gear to work trucks and high-end luxury vehicles. Our pricing is based on vehicle size and condition, so you always get a fair quote before anything begins.

Every vehicle and every situation is different — a compact sedan with light use needs different time and product than a large SUV hauling kids and a dog through Stone Mountain's muddy trails. Clicking See My Price gives you an accurate, transparent quote based on your specific vehicle size and the services you select, with no guessing.

No. The price you see when you book is the price you pay. Arete believes in total pricing transparency, and we will never surprise you with add-on charges after your detailer arrives at your Stone Mountain home or office.

Never. Your detailer's job is to deliver an outstanding detail on the services you booked — full stop. If you want to add something, you are always welcome to ask, but our team will never pressure you into upgrading or purchasing extras on-site.

If any part of your detail does not meet your expectations, contact us and we will make it right — no hassle, no runaround. We stand behind our work completely because your satisfaction is the foundation of Arete's reputation in the Stone Mountain community.

Arete is a fully mobile detailing service, meaning we come to your home, office, or any convenient location in Stone Mountain. There is no shop to drive to, no waiting room, and no wasted time — we bring professional-grade equipment directly to your vehicle.

In most cases, no. Arete's mobile units carry their own water supply and power so we can operate completely independently. If your specific service requires access to an outdoor spigot, we will let you know clearly before your appointment.

Yes — we are experienced working in covered parking garages and apartment complexes throughout the Stone Mountain area. Just let us know the parking situation when you book so we can confirm access and plan accordingly for water and power needs.

Yes, we can work on vehicles parked on residential streets throughout Stone Mountain. Just make sure the space allows us to safely work around the vehicle and that street parking is permitted for the duration of the appointment.

Yes — Georgia red clay and pollen are some of the toughest contaminants we deal with in the Stone Mountain area, and our hot-water extraction and carpet shampooing treatments are specifically effective at lifting deeply embedded clay particles and pollen residue from carpet fibers and floor mats.

We use professional-grade stain removers and extraction equipment that eliminate the vast majority of stains, including food, coffee, mud, and Georgia red clay. Some stains that have been chemically set or left untreated for a long period may be permanent, and we will always be honest with you about what is and is not achievable.

Yes — pet hair removal is one of our most requested services in Stone Mountain, especially for active families with dogs who love trails around Stone Mountain Park. Our detailers use specialized tools and thorough vacuuming techniques to extract pet hair from seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach crevices.

Appointment times vary based on vehicle size and the package selected. A basic exterior and interior service on a standard sedan typically takes one and a half to two hours, while a full detail on a large SUV or heavily soiled vehicle can take three to five hours. We will give you a time estimate when you book.

Yes — Arete works with contractors, businesses, and fleet operators throughout Stone Mountain and the surrounding DeKalb and Gwinnett county areas. If you manage multiple vehicles, contact us to discuss fleet scheduling and pricing options.

Absolutely. Rideshare drivers on the I-285 and US-78 corridors and delivery drivers covering Stone Mountain and metro Atlanta routes put enormous wear on their vehicle interiors. Our maintenance packages are a smart investment to keep your ratings high and your workspace clean and professional.

Please remove any personal items, valuables, and important documents from your vehicle before your appointment. Leaving the car reasonably cleared out allows our detailer to focus entirely on cleaning rather than moving your belongings, which results in a better and faster service.

We clean around installed car seats and can clean the seat fabric and base if the seat is removed and left in the vehicle. For safety reasons, we do not reinstall car seats after removal, so please plan accordingly if your seat needs to come out for a thorough clean.

Stone Mountain's summer afternoon thunderstorms can pop up fast. If weather makes completing your exterior service safely impossible, we will contact you to reschedule at no charge. Interior-only services can almost always proceed regardless of rain, and we monitor forecasts closely to plan accordingly.

Yes — Arete's detailers are trained and equipped to properly care for luxury and exotic vehicles, using pH-balanced products, soft microfiber materials, and paint-safe techniques appropriate for high-end finishes. Smoke Rise and surrounding Stone Mountain neighborhoods trust us with their most prized vehicles.

Yes — our leather cleaning and conditioning service removes surface dirt, oils, and grime buildup, then conditions the leather to prevent cracking and fading, which is especially important given Georgia's intense summer heat and UV exposure that accelerates leather deterioration.

Yes — hot-water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets is included in our deeper detail packages and is available as an add-on. It is one of the most effective ways to address the pollen, red clay, food spills, and general grime that Stone Mountain families accumulate in their vehicles.

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is part of our exterior detail service. We use appropriate wheel-safe cleaners to remove brake dust, road grime, and the reddish clay residue common on Stone Mountain and Rockbridge Road that coats wheels quickly after a rain.

Yes — we use odor-eliminating treatments that neutralize smells at the source rather than masking them with fragrance. Whether it is mildew from Georgia's humid summers, pet odor, food smells, or smoke, we have professional solutions to restore a fresh, clean interior environment.

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, and we use enzyme-based cleaners that break down organic matter and eliminate odors completely. This service requires specific products and additional time, so please mention it when booking so we can prepare appropriately.

Payment is collected digitally at the time of booking or upon completion of your service. We accept all major credit and debit cards as well as common digital payment methods — no cash required and no awkward exchanges at the end of your appointment.

We understand schedules change. Please cancel or reschedule with reasonable advance notice and there is no fee. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee, which is outlined clearly during the booking process so there are never any surprises.

Same-day appointments in Stone Mountain are available based on our current schedule and detailer availability in your area. Use our online booking tool to check today's open slots — we often have openings across Stone Mountain Village, Rockbridge, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Contact us right away and we will make it right. Arete's satisfaction guarantee means we take every concern seriously and will return to address anything that did not meet the standard you expected. Your experience matters more to us than any single appointment.

For most Stone Mountain residents, mobile detailing is a significant upgrade from a traditional shop visit. You skip the drive, the wait, and the inconvenience — your car gets detailed at home while you handle your day. With I-285 and US-78 commutes already eating into your time, the last thing you need is another errand across town.

Stone Mountain's environment makes regular detailing genuinely important — heavy spring pollen coats paint weekly, red Georgia clay embeds in carpets year-round, and humid summers accelerate interior mildew and exterior oxidation. We recommend a maintenance detail every four to six weeks for exteriors and a full interior detail every three to four months to keep your vehicle in peak condition.
