Why Mobile Detailing

Better than the wash. Cheaper than the dealer.

The honest answer: Bravus Auto Detailing built our pricing around what real customers actually need. Most Fairfax drivers do well with a properly-done detail twice a year and a quick maintenance wash in between. If you want long-term protection, we also offer professional ceramic coating and paint correction — but only when it's the right fit for your car. No upselling.

What separates us from a $20 car-wash: hand-wash (no abrasive automatic brushes), real steam extraction (not just a spray-and-wipe), proper sealants (not the wax-spray they squirt as you exit), and time. Our Express services take 2–4 hours. Executive services take 4–8. Quality work needs time, and we do not skip steps.

What separates us from a dealer detail: we come to you, our prices are real prices (no $200 "vacuum included" upsells), and our customers come back. Read our customer reviews, the detailing blog, or the comprehensive FAQ.

How It Works

Three steps to a clean car.

From booking to handoff, here's the entire flow. Most customers go from "I should book that" to "wow, my car looks new" in under a week.

Book Online or Call

Pick a service, your vehicle type, the date, and any add-ons. Takes 90 seconds. We confirm by SMS. Or just call (781) 367-1054.

We Show Up

On your date, we arrive at your house with all equipment, water, and supplies. You don't need to be home — leave the keys (or unlock the car) and we handle it.

You Get A Clean Car

2–8 hours later (depending on service), we walk you through the result, you pay (cash/card/Apple Pay/Venmo), and we leave. Easy.

Built For Mid-Atlantic Weather

The Mid-Atlantic eats vehicles. We push back.

Fairfax is uniquely punishing on cars. UV indexes routinely hit 11+ for half the year. Summer dashboard temps cross 110°. Monsoon dust gets into vents and embeds in carpet. Hard water from sprinklers etches into clear-coat. Year-round shedding from Mid-Atlantic pets means hair embeds permanently into upholstery.

Every service we offer is designed around those specific problems. Sealants that last in our UV. Steam extraction that handles embedded pollen and dust. Headlight restoration because UV eats them in 2 years here vs 5 elsewhere. Real solutions for the real climate.

Exterior detailing covers paint, wheels, glass, and trim — the outside only. Interior detailing covers seats, carpets, dashboard, and cabin — the inside only. Full Detail bundles both into one visit at a $30–$50 discount. Pick exterior if your paint is your concern, interior if it's the cabin, full detail if you want both done in one efficient session.

Pricing starts at $80 for Express Exterior, $160 for Express Interior, and $215 for Express Full Detail. Executive tiers start at $120, $200, and $445 respectively. XL/lifted/3rd-row vehicles add a flat surcharge upfront. Add-ons (pet hair, ozone, headlight restoration, water-spot removal) are quoted separately. Book online to see exact pricing.

Yes — that's the whole point. We bring water (or use yours), power (or use yours), all equipment, and clean up after ourselves. You don't even need to be home — most customers leave the keys with us and go about their day. We service all of Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Reston, and Leesburg.

Two ways: (1) Click Book Online — pick your service, your time, and we confirm by SMS. Takes about 90 seconds. (2) Call (781) 367-1054 if you'd rather just talk it through. We answer 7 days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM.

Yes — we now offer both. Ceramic coating starts at $1,075 (1-Step) or $1,345 (2-Step) for multi-year paint protection. Paint correction starts at $625 (1-Step) or $895 (2-Step) for swirl, oxidation, and defect removal. Both services are hand-applied at your driveway with no rushed shop work. Not sure which you need? Read our honest ceramic coating guide first, or call us and we'll talk it through.

For maintenance: Express Exterior every 4–6 weeks, Express Interior every 2–3 months. For deep recovery: Executive Full Detail every 6 months. Fairfax sun, dust, and seasonals are unforgiving — vehicles maintained twice yearly hold their value dramatically better. See our how to choose a mobile detailer guide for full schedule recommendations.

If active rain is forecast we proactively reach out to reschedule — no penalty, no rebooking fee. Light cloud cover and high heat are actually good for detailing (sealants cure more evenly), so we don't reschedule for those. Fairfax seasonal season is mid-June through September; we plan around it.

Yes — fully licensed and insured for mobile detailing operations across Pima County. We carry liability insurance to protect your vehicle and property while we're working. Ask for proof at any time.

Yes. XL/lifted/3rd-row vehicles add a flat surcharge ($30–$70 depending on tier) to cover the extra surface area, seating, and time. We routinely detail Suburbans, Tahoes, lifted F-350s, Sprinter vans, and 3-row Sequoias.

We're a family-run Fairfax business serving Pima County and surrounding areas. Read what real customers say in our customer reviews, and learn more on our about page.

Pet hair: light is included free, moderate-to-heavy is a $30–$80 add-on. Stubborn smells (smoke, pet, mildew): the $100 Ozone Treatment handles 95% of cases. Stains: most we get out completely with steam extraction, some old set-in stains we can't fully remove (we'll always tell you upfront).

7 days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM. We do not work after dark for safety reasons (we use power tools and chemicals). Same-week availability is usually open; weekend slots fill up first. Book early.

Cash, all major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and Zelle. We invoice on completion — no upfront deposit when you book online.
