Got a number that looks off?

Corrections, questions, and business enquiries all land in the same inbox. A real person reads them.

A person checking notes on a phone beside a car, comparing figures before heading into a shop.
The most useful emails we get start with a real quote from a real shop and the question of whether it's fair.

Email hello@detailingcost.com. There's no form here, because a form would mean collecting your details, and we'd rather not.

A quote that doesn't match our range

This is the most valuable thing you can send us, and it's why the site exists. Tell us the service, what you drive, your rough area, and what the shop quoted. If a lot of people in one region are seeing numbers our data doesn't reflect, our data is the thing that's wrong, and we want to fix it.

A price you think has gone stale

Every hub carries the date it was last reviewed. If you think a figure has drifted since then, say so and point us at what you're seeing. Material costs move, and film and coating prices have moved a lot in the last couple of years.

Shop owners

You know this work better than any published price guide does. If a range here misrepresents what quality work costs in your market, tell us and show us. We'll take it seriously, and we'd rather print a number that a good installer recognises than one that only looks cheap.

What we can't do is list your shop, link to you, or take payment for placement. There's no directory here and there isn't going to be one. That's the trade we make for being worth reading.

Press and business

Press questions, data questions, and advertising enquiries reach the same address. If you want to cite our figures, please link the specific hub rather than the homepage, so readers land on the sourcing and the review date.

What to expect

A human reads everything. We don't promise a turnaround time, and if your email is a correction we may go and check the sources before replying, which takes longer than a one-line answer would. Corrections that hold up get made, and the page's review date changes with them.
