Refund Policy
Detailing Department
Effective Date: 11/18/2025
At Detailing Department, we take pride in providing high-quality mobile detailing services. Because detailing is a time-based, labor-intensive service, our refund policy is designed to be fair, transparent, and protective of both our customers and our business.

Due to the nature of our services, refunds are not automatically issued once a service has been completed.
However, if you are dissatisfied with the quality of the work, we offer options outlined below.
2. Service Satisfaction Guarantee
If you are unhappy with any aspect of your detail, you must contact us within 24 hours of service completion.
We may offer, at our discretion:
-
A touch-up or correction

A partial refund (only in qualifying situations)
Photos of the issue may be required.
