How it works
Getting a detail on SanCrew looks a lot like booking a house cleaning on SanCrew — because it runs on the same marketplace. Three steps, no phone calls, no quote forms.
Tell us about your vehicle
Year, make, model, and where the car will be. The platform assigns your size class automatically — and you can override it — so every price you see is for your exact vehicle, not a generic quote.
See each pro's price
Every independent detailer covering your area appears with their own price for your package and size, plus their reviews and experience. SanCrew never sets or adjusts those prices — you're comparing the pros' real rates.
Book and relax
Pick a time from your detailer's real availability and book with a secure hold — you're only charged once the pro accepts. They come to your driveway; you keep your day.
The four detailing packages
Every detailer on SanCrew prices the same four packages, so their rates are directly comparable. Each package includes everything in the one before it — pick the depth your car actually needs.

Vehicle sizes, explained
Detailers price each package by vehicle size, because a third row of seats or a truck bed genuinely changes the work. When you enter your year, make, and model, SanCrew assigns the size class automatically from its vehicle catalog — and you can always override it.
| Size | Vehicle type | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| S | Coupe / Compact | Honda Civic, Mini Cooper, Mazda MX-5Small cabins and less panel area — the quickest details. |
| M | Sedan / Small SUV | Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V, Tesla Model 3/YThe most common size class for Bay Area drivers. |
| L | Truck / Large SUV / Minivan | Ford F-150, Chevy Tahoe, Honda OdysseyThree rows or a bed means more surface, more time. |
| XL | Oversized | Lifted trucks, Sprinter vans, Suburban/Escalade ESVExtra-tall or extended vehicles that take the longest. |
Who actually details your car
SanCrew is a marketplace, not a detailing company. The professionals you compare are independent business owners: they choose their service areas, set their own price for every package and vehicle size, offer their own add-ons and recurring discounts, and perform the work themselves. SanCrew never assigns a pro to you and never sets or adjusts their prices — we handle the booking, hold payment securely until your detailer accepts, and provide support if anything needs sorting out.
Your driveway, their pride and joy
Enter your vehicle once and see what every independent detailer near you charges for it — exact prices, real reviews, actual availability.

What is mobile car detailing?
Mobile car detailing is a professional-grade cleaning of your vehicle that happens wherever the vehicle already is — your driveway, your building's parking spot, or your office lot — instead of at a shop. The detailer brings the equipment and supplies to you, works through the package you chose, and you never sit in a waiting room or arrange a drop-off. On SanCrew, every detail is mobile: you enter the address where the car will be, and the independent professional you picked comes to it. Packages range from an exterior-only hand wash to restoration-grade interior extraction, so “detailing” can mean a quick refresh or a half-day reset depending on what you book. The pros on the platform are independent business owners — they choose their own service areas, set their own prices for each package and vehicle size, and do the work themselves.
How does booking a detailer on SanCrew work?
You start by telling us where the car will be and what it is — year, make, and model. The platform matches your model to a size class automatically (you can override it), because a Tahoe takes meaningfully longer than a Civic and pros price that difference. Next you pick a package, from Exterior Only up to Extreme Deep Detailing. Then comes the marketplace part: you see every independent detailer who covers your area, with the exact price each one charges for your package and your vehicle size — set by them, not by SanCrew. Compare their reviews, experience, and prices, pick the pro you like, and choose a time from their real availability. Payment is a secure hold, and the detailer confirms the job. There are no quote requests and no callbacks: the price you compared is the price you booked.
What's included in a full car detail?
On SanCrew the deepest package is Extreme Deep Detailing, and it includes everything the lighter packages do plus the heavy work. The stack builds like this: Exterior Only covers a hand wash and dry, wheels and tires, and outside glass. Standard Up-Keep adds the interior — a full vacuum of seats, carpets, and trunk, a wipe-down of the dash and panels, and interior windows. Detailed Deep adds extraction: carpets and upholstery are shampooed and machine-extracted, pet hair is removed, the engine bay is cleaned, leather is conditioned, and vents and trim get detailed by hand. Extreme Deep goes restoration-grade — deep extraction throughout, heavy stain and odor work, odor/ozone treatment, and interior conditioning, with nothing left as an add-on. Every listing shows that detailer's own price before you book, and on lighter packages add-ons like engine bay cleaning or pet-hair removal can be selected during checkout when the pro offers them.
How much does mobile car detailing cost?
Every price on SanCrew is set by the individual detailer, so there isn't a single platform rate — that's the point of a marketplace. Each pro publishes their own price for every combination of package and vehicle size, and you see those exact figures side by side before you commit to anything. Two things move the number most: the package depth (an exterior wash is priced very differently from a restoration-grade interior) and your vehicle's size class, because a three-row SUV simply has more surface area and cabin than a coupe. Recurring schedules can also change the math — many detailers choose to discount weekly, bi-weekly, or every-4-weeks service, and any discount you see is theirs, not SanCrew's. To see real numbers for your exact car, enter your vehicle on the booking page; every detailer's price appears instantly, with no quote requests.
Why does my vehicle's size change the price?
Detailing effort scales with the vehicle. A compact coupe might have half the glass, paint, and carpet area of an extended SUV, and a third row adds seats, belts, and floor space that need the same attention as the front of the cabin. Because of that, detailers on SanCrew price by size class rather than one flat rate: S for coupes and compacts, M for sedans and small SUVs, L for trucks, large SUVs, and minivans, and XL for oversized vehicles like Sprinter vans or lifted trucks. When you enter your year, make, and model, the platform assigns the size automatically from its vehicle catalog — a 2019 Toyota RAV4 lands in M, for example — and you can correct it if your vehicle is modified or unusual. Each pro decides what each size is worth for each package, so the size you confirm is exactly what their price applies to.
Do I need to provide water or electricity?
Usually not — most mobile detailers arrive self-contained, with their own water supply, generator or battery-powered equipment, and all products, because driveways and apartment garages rarely offer hookups. That said, setups vary from pro to pro: some rinseless and steam-based methods need nothing at all, while a few heavy exterior packages work best with access to a spigot. If your building has rules about washing cars in the garage, or your spot has no drainage, mention it in the booking note — every booking has one, and you can message your detailer directly after booking to confirm logistics. The practical requirements are simple: legal access to the vehicle, enough room to open the doors fully, and daylight or decent lighting. If a location genuinely can't work, your detailer will tell you before the appointment rather than on arrival.
Can I book detailing on a recurring schedule?
Yes. The same recurring options that exist for house cleaning on SanCrew apply to detailing: weekly, bi-weekly, or every 4 weeks, with a one-time visit as the default. Recurring makes the most sense for daily drivers, rideshare vehicles, and family cars that collect crumbs faster than anyone admits — a standing Standard Up-Keep detail keeps the cabin from ever reaching extraction territory, which is the expensive state to recover from. Many detailers price recurring visits below their one-time rate because maintained cars take less time; whatever discount appears on their card is set by that pro alone. You keep the same detailer every visit, they learn your vehicle, and you can reschedule or cancel individual visits from your bookings page. Payment works per visit — each appointment is held and only captured when that visit is confirmed.
What areas do SanCrew detailers cover?
SanCrew operates across the San Francisco Bay Area — San Francisco itself, the East Bay including Oakland, and the Peninsula down through Menlo Park. Within that footprint, coverage is decided pro by pro: each independent detailer chooses their own service area, exactly as they choose their prices and schedule, so the roster you can book depends on the address you enter. Some cover a few neighborhoods intensively; others range across multiple cities. When you enter the address where your car will be, the booking page shows only the detailers who actually serve it, each with their real price for your vehicle — no leads passed to a call center, no matching you later. If no detailer covers your block yet, none will appear; the roster grows as more independent pros join the platform, so an empty result today is worth rechecking.
