See Your Price Before You Book

Stony Plain is a truck and SUV town — full-size cabs, extended beds, and three-row SUVs are the norm here, and they simply take more time, product, and effort to detail properly than a compact car would. Pricing reflects the actual size and condition of your vehicle, so a lifted diesel crew cab and a crossover aren't going to land at the same number.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're bringing in a crew cab pickup, a three-row SUV, or a family minivan, it gets matched to the right size category.

2. Pick Your Package

Choose the package that fits what your vehicle actually needs, from a focused exterior clean to a full interior and exterior detail.

3. Confirm Online

Your exact price is confirmed before the work begins — no estimates, no add-ons you didn't agree to.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

There's no pressure and no surprise charges at the end — you'll know exactly what your detail costs before anything starts. Arete keeps it straightforward because Stony Plain locals don't have time for the runaround.

Why Stony Plain Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Stony Plain vehicles take a punishment that city drivers never see — daily Highway 16A commutes pack salt and gravel into every crevice through a seven-month winter, while farm roads off Highway 779 and oilfield runs add a layer of mud that no rain is going to rinse away. By the time spring arrives, most trucks and SUVs in this town are carrying months of built-up road damage that goes way beyond looking dirty.

Salt That Stays All Winter

Every run down Highway 16A or the Yellowhead Trail between November and April coats your undercarriage, wheel wells, and rocker panels in road salt that doesn't just wash off with a quick rinse. Full-size pickups and diesel work trucks are especially vulnerable because their higher clearance catches spray from all directions on those wide open highway stretches. Left unchecked, that salt works its way into seams and painted edges and starts the kind of corrosion that shortens a vehicle's life by years.

Farm Mud Goes Everywhere

Acreage driveways and farm access roads off Highway 628 and Highway 779 turn to thick clay mud the moment spring thaw hits, and it gets packed into floor mats, tracked across carpets, and caked under running boards before you've even made it back to the pavement. Trucks that haul equipment or make regular runs to rural properties carry that mud deep into the cab, where it dries hard and grinds into fibres with every drive. It takes a proper extraction and steam clean to actually pull it out — a quick vacuum doesn't come close.

Oilfield Grime Builds Up

Workers heading out to oilfield sites west of Stony Plain come back with a combination of drilling dust, grease, and industrial grime that settles into every surface of a work truck's interior and exterior. That kind of contamination bonds differently to paint and upholstery than everyday road dirt, and it brings its own odours into the cab that linger long after the workweek ends. A thorough detail gets into the dash vents, door pockets, and seat bolsters where oilfield residue hides and builds up shift after shift.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Stony Plain

Stony Plain sits at the intersection of highway commuting, agricultural back roads, and industrial work — and every one of those environments throws something different at your vehicle. The result is a combination of problems that stack up fast and hit every surface from the headliner down to the undercarriage.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Undercarriage, wheel wells, rocker panels, lower door edges, and painted trim. Months of commuting on Highway 16A and the Yellowhead Trail deposit a heavy salt crust that accelerates rust on trucks and SUVs from the bottom up. It's one of the most damaging and most overlooked problems for Stony Plain vehicles every single winter.

🥾 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Floor mats, carpet fibres, under seats, and door sill trim. Spring thaw on acreage driveways and rural roads off Highway 628 turns ordinary mud into a clay-heavy paste that gets ground deep into truck and SUV interiors. Once it dries, it becomes embedded in the carpet pile and takes a hot water extraction to fully remove.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield, and wiper cowl. Every spring, canola and tree pollen blankets vehicles parked anywhere near Stony Plain's surrounding fields, leaving a fine yellow-green film that turns sticky when wet. It works into paint texture and clear coat if it sits too long, especially on darker-coloured trucks and SUVs.

🪲 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, hood, windshield, side mirrors, and grille. Highway speeds on 16A and the Yellowhead Trail through summer turn insect hits into etched-in stains that bond to the clear coat within days. Pickups and SUVs with larger front profiles collect the heaviest accumulation, and the longer it bakes in the Alberta sun, the harder it is to remove without damaging the finish.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, paint panels, chrome trim, and side windows. Stony Plain's hard municipal water leaves behind mineral deposits every time a vehicle dries without a proper rinse or drying process. Repeated drive-through washes that don't dry thoroughly make this worse over time, etching faint rings into paint and glass that need polishing to fully correct.

🧃 Kids Messes

Where it shows up: Rear seat upholstery, carpet, cup holders, seat belt buckles, and headrests. Minivans and family SUVs hauling kids between Stony Plain schools, sports, and Edmonton appointments become rolling disaster zones of snacks, spills, and sticky handprints. The back seat of a family vehicle in this town tells its own story, and a deep interior detail resets it completely.

Stony Plain Car Detailing Packages

Most vehicles coming into Arete from Stony Plain and the surrounding area have been through a full Alberta winter or a season of farm and highway use — they need more than a surface wipe. The packages are built to handle what trucks and SUVs here actually face, from salt-caked exteriors to mud-packed interiors that need a real deep clean.

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.

How Mobile Detailing Works

Arete comes to you wherever your vehicle is parked in Stony Plain — your driveway in Westerra, a stall at the Westview Health Centre lot, or a spot along 48 Street. You don't rearrange your day; we work around your schedule and your location.

1. Book Online

Pick your service, choose a time that fits, and lock in your booking online in just a few minutes.

2. We Come To You

We drive out to your Stony Plain location — whether that's a residential driveway off Highway 779 or a parking lot along the 16A corridor — fully equipped and ready to start.

3. Detail + Final Walkaround

Once the detail is complete, we walk you through the finished vehicle so you can see every result before you pay a cent.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Stony Plain draws a wide mix of drivers — daily Edmonton commuters, tradespeople running job sites, and families hauling kids and gear through every season. Mobile detailing fits the pace of this community because it shows up where people already are, without pulling them away from their day.

Busy Professionals

Whether you're logging daily kilometres on the Yellowhead into Edmonton or pulling long shifts at Westview Health Centre, there's little time left to sit in a detail shop. Arete comes to your workplace or home so your vehicle is clean and ready without costing you a day off.

Parents & Families

Stony Plain families pile a lot into their vehicles — hockey bags, muddy cleats, car seats, and drive-through runs between activities. A professional detail restores the interior so it stops looking like a second living room and starts feeling like a clean, comfortable ride again.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Not every Stony Plain resident has a private driveway, and condo living doesn't mean settling for a dirty vehicle. Arete works in assigned underground stalls and surface parking areas, bringing everything needed to get the job done without access to a hose or power outlet.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

First impressions matter when passengers are rating their ride, and a vehicle collecting salt residue, fast food wrappers, and winter grime through a Stony Plain season won't hold a high score for long. Regular detailing keeps your interior professional and your ratings where they need to be.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Oilfield and trades trucks working in and around Stony Plain take a punishment that a standard car wash was never built to handle — grease, silicone, diesel spill, and heavy mud are a different job entirely. Arete details work vehicles properly, cleaning what a drive-through rinse leaves behind.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Luxury vehicles parked in Stony Plain face the same road salt and gravel chip exposure as every other vehicle on Highway 16A, but the finishes require a higher level of care. Arete uses surface-appropriate products and techniques that protect premium paint, leather, and trim without the risk of damage from generic cleaning methods.

Vehicles We Detail

Stony Plain roads are dominated by full-size trucks, SUVs, and crossovers built to handle rural driving and hard winters — and more surface area means more time, product, and effort to do the job right. Pricing reflects the actual size and condition of your vehicle, not a flat rate that cuts corners on anything larger than a compact.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans are less common in Stony Plain than in most Alberta cities, but they're often the daily commuter vehicle putting steady kilometres on the Yellowhead into Edmonton. A thorough detail removes the salt film, road dust, and interior buildup that accumulates through a long commuting season.

SUVs & Crossovers

SUVs are the go-to vehicle for Stony Plain families and commuters who need something capable enough for gravel roads and big enough for everyday hauling. Detailing an SUV means covering significantly more interior and exterior surface, and we don't rush through it to match a car-sized price.

Pickup Trucks

Full-size pickup trucks are the backbone of Stony Plain's vehicle landscape, and they accumulate grime in ways most vehicles don't — packed wheel wells, mud-caked box liners, filthy running boards, and cab interiors carrying everything from farm dust to oilfield residue. A proper truck detail works through all of it, not just the surfaces that are easy to reach.

Minivans

Minivans in Stony Plain spend their lives moving families through every season, and the interiors show it — crumbs, juice spills, and scuff marks layered over months of school runs and weekend trips. Detailing a minivan means treating every row, every seat track, and every corner of that cargo area with the same attention the front seats get.

Luxury Vehicles

A luxury vehicle parked in Stony Plain is exposed to the same road salt spray and gravel roads as any pickup on Highway 628, but the paint and interior materials demand a more careful approach. We use products matched to the specific surfaces in your vehicle so the finish is protected through every treatment.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles running routes and job sites around Stony Plain and the surrounding industrial corridor build up a level of grime that standard detailing timelines don't account for. Arete prices and plans commercial work based on actual condition so the vehicle comes back genuinely clean, not just presentable from a distance.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Stony Plain properties range from wide residential driveways in Meridian Heights to shared condo stalls and open retail lots along the 16A corridor, and Arete details vehicles across all of them. We carry our own water and power so your parking situation is never a barrier to getting the job done.

Driveways

A home driveway in Westerra or Sunrise Village is one of the most convenient places to have your vehicle detailed — it's right there, you're already home, and you don't have to go anywhere. We set up, do the full job, and leave your driveway clean before we go.

Condo Garages

Condo residents in Stony Plain with assigned underground stalls can have their vehicle detailed without leaving the building or hunting for another parking option. We bring our own water supply and battery-powered equipment so we're fully self-contained in any parkade environment.

Apartment Parking Lots

Open surface lots at Stony Plain apartment complexes give us everything we need to work efficiently alongside your vehicle without disrupting other residents or requiring any special access. Book a time, park in your usual stall, and we'll handle the rest while you're inside.

Office Parking Lots

Stony Plain professionals parked at workplace lots along Highway 16A or near the Town offices can have their vehicle detailed during a shift without giving up a single hour of personal time. By the time the workday ends, the vehicle waiting in the lot is cleaner than when they arrived.

Street Parking

Some Stony Plain properties and older neighbourhoods near Old Town rely on street parking, and that's a perfectly workable location for a mobile detail. As long as there's reasonable access to the vehicle, we can complete the full service right there on the street.

Commercial Lots

Businesses operating out of the Stony Plain Industrial Park or along the retail corridor can schedule fleet and staff vehicle detailing directly on-site during business hours. It keeps the vehicles maintained and the operation running without routing anyone off-site mid-day.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A drive-through wash removes surface dirt, but it doesn't reach the packed salt in your wheel wells, the grime ground into your floor mats, or the film that builds up on interior surfaces through a Stony Plain winter. A proper detail works at a different level — the kind that actually resets the vehicle instead of just making it look passable from the outside.

Better Interior Access

Getting into every corner of a full-size truck cab or a three-row SUV takes more than a vacuum and a wipe — we use detailing brushes, flexible crevice tools, and compressed air to clear out the dirt that settles into seat tracks, vents, and console gaps in the vehicles Stony Plain drivers rely on most.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Cloth seats and carpets in Alberta vehicles absorb a season's worth of salt, mud, and moisture before most drivers think to address it, and the wrong cleaning method can damage the fibres or leave residue behind. We use fabric-appropriate cleaners and extraction techniques that pull contamination out of the material rather than pushing it deeper.

Surface-Specific Products

Leather trim, painted plastic, vinyl, glass, and rubber all respond differently to cleaning products, and using the wrong one damages surfaces over time even if it looks fine the first time. Every surface in your vehicle gets treated with something formulated for that specific material, not a one-product approach that compromises some finishes to clean others.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch surfaces like steering wheels, door handles, and shifters carry significant buildup that wiping alone doesn't fully remove, especially after a long Alberta winter spent in gloves and work gear. Steam penetrates and loosens that buildup without requiring harsh chemicals, leaving the surface genuinely clean rather than just wiped over.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on Stony Plain vehicles deal with constant exposure to road salt, brake dust, and the kind of packed grime that comes from gravel roads and rural driving on Highway 628 and beyond. We clean into the barrel, around the spokes, and along the inner rim edge — the areas a brush-wash machine never reaches.

Final Walkaround

Before we close up and head out, we walk you through the entire vehicle so you can inspect every surface and confirm the work meets your expectations. If something needs a second pass, we handle it on the spot — the job isn't done until you're satisfied.

Stony Plain Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Stony Plain puts vehicles through four distinct seasons of punishment, and each one leaves a different kind of damage on paint, interiors, and undercarriages. Keeping up with seasonal detailing isn't about appearances — it's about protecting what you've invested in the vehicle.

Winter

Stony Plain winters mean months of heavy road salt being thrown up from Highway 16A and the Yellowhead, coating undercarriages and eating into wheel wells long before the damage becomes visible. Slush packs into every gap in the body, and the interior takes a beating from wet boots, snow suits, and the kind of moisture that gets into carpets and stays there. A winter detail pulls that salt and moisture out before it starts doing lasting damage to the surfaces underneath.

Spring

Spring thaw in Stony Plain turns rural roads and gravel sections off Highway 779 and 628 into deep mud runs that coat everything from the rocker panels up. That mud carries road debris and grit that scratches paint if it's left to dry and shift on the surface. A spring detail removes the season's accumulation and gives you a clean base before the roads dry out and the dust season starts.

Summer

Summer driving in Stony Plain piles insect splatter onto the front end, hood, and windshield at a rate that builds up fast on daily highway commutes into Edmonton. Road construction along the 16A corridor adds layers of dust and debris that work into every panel gap and air intake. A summer detail clears the insect protein and construction residue before it bonds to the paint and becomes significantly harder to remove.

Fall

Fall in Stony Plain brings wet leaves that plaster onto paint and decompose into tannin stains if they're left sitting, along with the first heavy frosts that arrive before most drivers are ready. Early morning frost and moisture begin working on any chips or compromised paint that made it through summer unaddressed. A fall detail prepares the vehicle's surfaces for the salt and cold ahead, so winter starts on a clean, protected base.

Tri Leisure Centre

Stony Plain Car Detailing FAQ

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Stony Plain.

Do you service Meridian Heights or Westerra in Stony Plain?

Yes! We're happy to meet you at or near the Tri Leisure Centre while you're at a fitness class, hockey practice, or swim lesson. Stony Plain's busy community hubs are perfect spots for mobile detailing — your vehicle gets cleaned while your time is already being spent somewhere else.

What package do you recommend for winter salt and oil field mud in Stony Plain?

For Stony Plain's brutal winters and the heavy mud that comes with oil field and agricultural work in the area, we strongly recommend our full interior and exterior detail package. It includes thorough carpet shampooing, salt residue removal, mat cleaning, and a complete exterior wash and dressing to cut through the caked-on grime that builds up fast on Highway 16A and the back roads.

What package do you recommend for regular maintenance in Stony Plain?

For drivers who want to stay on top of things between deep cleans, our maintenance detail package is the perfect fit — it keeps salt, dust, and everyday buildup from becoming a bigger problem. Given Stony Plain's year-round road conditions on routes like the Yellowhead Trail and Highway 16A, regular upkeep every four to six weeks makes a noticeable difference.

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

Yes — Arete details every vehicle type on the road in Stony Plain, from the heavy-duty pickup trucks and SUVs that dominate local driveways to minivans, sedans, and high-end luxury vehicles. Our pricing is based on vehicle size and condition, so you always get a fair quote before we begin.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Every vehicle is different — a muddy crew cab truck from the oil patch needs a very different level of effort than a compact sedan used for city driving. Clicking See My Price lets us give you an accurate, upfront quote based on your specific vehicle size and condition so there are no surprises.

Will the price change after I book in Stony Plain?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete believes in complete transparency, and we never add hidden fees or surprise charges after the appointment is confirmed.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailer will simply do the work you paid for, professionally and completely. If you want to add something on the day, that conversation is always your call — we won't pressure you into anything.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

It means if something isn't right when we're done, we make it right — no arguments and no hassle. Your satisfaction is the standard we hold ourselves to, and we won't consider the job finished until you're happy with the result.

Do you have a detailing shop in Stony Plain?

Do I need to provide water or power in Stony Plain?

Not at all — Arete's mobile units are completely self-contained with their own water supply and power source. Whether you're in a rural property outside Stony Plain or a driveway in Meridian Heights, we bring everything required to complete the job.

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

In many cases, yes — as long as the garage has adequate ventilation and ceiling clearance for our equipment, we can work in underground or enclosed parking. Reach out to us before booking if you're unsure about your specific building in Stony Plain and we'll confirm it'll work.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in Stony Plain?

Yes, street parking works in most cases as long as there's reasonable access around the vehicle. Just note the location when you book and we'll let you know if we foresee any issues.

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

Absolutely — these are some of the most common things we deal with in Stony Plain, where winter salt, agricultural mud, gravel road dust, and construction debris get ground into carpets fast. Our interior detail includes a thorough vacuum, hot water extraction, and shampoo process that lifts deeply embedded dirt from every fibre.

Can you remove every stain?

We treat every stain we encounter with professional-grade products and proven techniques, and the results are usually excellent. However, some stains that have been set for a long time or penetrated deep into fabric may be reduced rather than fully eliminated — we'll always be honest with you about what's achievable.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is a common request in Stony Plain and something our detailers handle with specialized tools designed to pull hair from carpet fibres, seat seams, and floor mats. Heavily covered interiors may take additional time, which is reflected in your upfront quote.

How long does a Stony Plain detailing appointment take?

Appointment times vary depending on the package and vehicle size, but most full details take between two and five hours. Larger vehicles like crew cab trucks and full-size SUVs — common in Stony Plain — may take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeframe when you book.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Stony Plain?

Yes — work trucks and fleet vehicles are a big part of what we do in Stony Plain, especially for businesses connected to oil field services and agriculture. We can arrange fleet scheduling to minimize downtime and keep your company vehicles looking professional and well-maintained.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Stony Plain?

Definitely — rideshare and delivery drivers putting in long hours on routes between Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, and Edmonton need clean, odour-free vehicles to keep ratings high and keep passengers comfortable. We offer flexible scheduling to work around your driving hours.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove personal valuables, important documents, car seats if possible, and any large items from the vehicle before we arrive. This lets our detailer get straight to work and ensures nothing gets misplaced during the clean.

Do you clean child car seats?

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

What happens if it rains in Stony Plain?

Alberta weather can be unpredictable, and Stony Plain is no exception. If rain affects the quality of your exterior detail, we'll work with you to reschedule or adjust — your satisfaction is always the priority and we won't leave you with a result we're not proud of.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Stony Plain?

Yes — Arete's detailers are trained to work on high-end vehicles with the care and precision those finishes demand. From paint-safe wash techniques to proper leather conditioning, we treat luxury vehicles in Stony Plain with the respect they deserve.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather cleaning and conditioning is included in our interior detail packages. We use products appropriate for your leather type to clean, moisturize, and protect the material, helping it stay supple and crack-free through Stony Plain's dry winters and hot summers.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — our interior detail includes hot water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets to lift dirt, stains, and odours from deep within the fibres. This is especially effective after a Stony Plain winter when salt and slush have been tracked in repeatedly.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheels and tires are part of our exterior detail, and we pay close attention to brake dust, mud, and road grime that builds up quickly on Stony Plain's roads. Clean wheels make a big difference in the overall appearance of any vehicle.

Can you remove odors from a Stony Plain vehicle?

Yes — odour elimination is something we take seriously, whether it's from cigarette smoke, pets, food, or that distinct smell of a work truck after a long week on site. We treat the source of the odour rather than just masking it with fragrance.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard cleaning with the appropriate products and protective measures. This service may carry an additional charge depending on severity, but we'll always quote you honestly before starting the work.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected after the service is complete and you're satisfied with the results. We accept all major credit cards and other common payment methods for a hassle-free experience.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We understand that plans change — just let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. We ask for reasonable notice so we can adjust our schedule, and we'll always work with you to find a new time that fits.

Can you come today in Stony Plain?

Same-day availability in Stony Plain depends on our current schedule, but we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Check availability through our booking tool or give us a call to see what's open today.

What if I am not happy with something?

Tell us right away — we'll come back and make it right at no extra charge. Our satisfaction guarantee isn't just a phrase; it's the standard every Arete detail is held to from start to finish.

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in Stony Plain?

For most Stony Plain residents, mobile detailing is a significant upgrade in convenience — there's no driving across town, no waiting room, and no rearranging your day around a shop's schedule.

How often should I detail my car in Stony Plain?

Given Stony Plain's long winters, heavy road salt use, gravel back roads, and the dust that comes with agricultural and oil field traffic, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — ideally after winter and again before it hits. A maintenance interior clean every four to six weeks helps prevent buildup from becoming a major job.
