How this calculator works

Every part of the job is measured on its own, then multiplied by the hourly rate you want to earn and adjusted for condition, access and add-ons. It doesn't just copy what the cheapest operator charges.

  • Vehicle type sets the base hours — a compact and a commercial van are genuinely different jobs.
  • Seating is counted separately, because a 7-seater has far more interior to do than a 5-seat version of the same vehicle.
  • Upholstery adds time — leather needs cleaning and conditioning as two separate passes.
  • Condition adds 18–70%. Pet hair, spills and odour are labour, and the most commonly underquoted part of the job.
  • Package scales the work — paint correction and ceramic coating is multiple stages and is priced accordingly.

Sourcing: This is an estimating tool built on labour hours rather than a published rate card, because mobile detailing pricing in Metro Vancouver varies widely by vehicle, condition and package. Price from the hours the job genuinely takes and the hourly rate you need to earn. Always see the vehicle before committing to a price.

Pricing right is step one. Being a real business is step two.

Charging properly only works if you look the part. Prontco registers, licenses, brands and puts your detailing business online — from $997.
