Before scheduling a detail

  • State the vehicle type, condition, location, and whether pet hair, stains, smoke, mud, or biohazards are present.
  • Confirm whether service is mobile or at a fixed location and who supplies water and electricity.
  • Get the included tasks, exclusions, estimated duration, price, and add-on charges in writing.
  • Ask about paint correction, machine polishing, coatings, tint, or scratch removal before authorizing irreversible work.
  • Remove valuables and photograph the vehicle's condition before service.
  • Confirm cancellation, weather, access, damage, and satisfaction policies.

Lower-impact washing

Keep wash water out of drains and waterways

EPA guidance recommends preventing vehicle wash water from entering storm drains. Use a facility or process that captures wastewater, or use methods that direct it to an appropriate sanitary disposal route. Do not discharge wash water to an acequia or surface water.

EPA household guidance

Check local restrictions first

Water conservation measures may restrict outdoor vehicle washing during shortages. Check current Town, mutual domestic, well, landlord, HOA, or property rules before washing or authorizing a mobile service.
