Car Detailing & Wash Calgary
Car Detailing & Wash Calgary
Car detailing in Calgary at CHD17 Customs starts at $189 and covers everything from a full hand wash to a deep interior and exterior restoration. Auto detailing in Calgary goes well beyond a drive-through car wash in Calgary. It is a careful clean, decontamination, and protection of your vehicle inside and out. We detail cars, trucks, and SUVs at our shop at 3640 26 St NE, and every package is built around a 24-step hand wash.
What car detailing includes
A real detail cleans the parts a quick wash never reaches. Outside means a hand wash, decontamination, and a protective sealant or wax. Inside means vacuuming, wiping, conditioning, and steam cleaning where needed. The goal is a car that looks and feels close to new.

- Clay bar decontamination: Pulls out embedded grime, tar, and paint splatter that washing leaves behind.

Why regular detailing matters in Calgary
Calgary winters put road salt, sand, and slush on your vehicle for months. That grime works into the paint, the carpets, and the door jambs, and it speeds up corrosion if it sits. A spring detail after winter, and another before the cold returns, keeps salt from doing long-term damage. As one of the best car detailing shops in Calgary, we tailor each package to what your vehicle actually needs.
If your paint needs more than a polish, look at paint correction in Calgary to remove deeper swirls, or lock in the finish with ceramic coating in Calgary.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car detailing cost in Calgary?
At CHD17 Customs, detailing starts at $189 for Basic, $289 for Maintain, and $449 for the Complete package. Larger or heavily soiled vehicles may cost more.
What is the difference between a car wash and car detailing?
A car wash cleans the surface. Detailing is a deep, multi-step clean and protection of the whole vehicle, inside and out, including decontamination, polishing, and interior conditioning.
How long does a full car detail take?
Basic takes about 3 hours, Maintain about 5 hours, and the Complete package a full day, depending on the size and condition of the vehicle.
What is included in interior car detailing?
Interior car detailing includes vacuuming, wiping and dusting all surfaces, cleaning interior windows, conditioning upholstery and vinyl, and, in the Complete package, steam cleaning and shampooing carpets and cloth seats.
Do you offer mobile car detailing in Calgary?
No, we do not offer mobile car detailing. All detailing is done at our Calgary shop at 3640 26 St NE, Unit B, where we have the lighting, equipment, and controlled space for proper decontamination, polishing, and steam cleaning. A fixed shop gives a more thorough and consistent result than a mobile setup can.
How often should I get my car detailed in Calgary?
Twice a year works well for most Calgary drivers, once in spring to remove winter salt and once in fall before the cold returns.
