How does scheduling work?Once you sign up for a plan, you'll be able to schedule your first appointment.

Be sure to be logged into the Fresh Start website with the correct account and choose the appointment type that corresponds with your plan.
-
How does billing work?Your credit card will be charged on the first day of your plan, and subsequently at each plan renewal date.

A professional invoice will be automatically delivered to your email at every billing cycle with plan details and instructions on how to book your appointment.

Can you come to my work or home?We can come to all homes and some work locations in our service range. For all locations, we require enough space surrounding the car to be able to safely perform the detail without interfering with other cars. Please contact us if you have a specific location in mind you would like to inquire about.
-

-
How long will it take?Quarterly Full Premium service typically takes around 2-3 hours, depending on car size. Family Shareâ„¢ and Family Flexâ„¢ plans offer service from 90 minutes to 3.5 hours depending on family detailing needs.
-
Do I need to be present to get my car or SUV/Truck detailed?We request you be present at the beginning of your first detail so we may learn about any special requests or preferences you may have. For any following appointments, your presence is not required.
-
What is an XL SUV?As interior specialists, we consider vehicles with a third row to fall under the XL category. If you have a small third row seat and would like to opt out of having it detailed, we are happy to honor the mid-SUV price.
-
Do I need to empty my car before the detail?Simply remove any personal belongings from your car and we'll take care of the rest. If any personal items are left in the vehicle, we will either work around them or place them in a sealed bag and leave them in the trunk or underneath the driver's seat. Typically, we do not detail center consoles or glove compartments unless items have been moved in advance.
-
When do I pay?Payments are made at the beginning of each billing cycle. When your plan renews, your credit card will be charged automatically, and your account will be credited with your plan session. Please allow up to 24 hours for processing. If you have any questions on billing, please contact us directly at support@freshstartautodetail.com.
-
Should I tip my detailer?Tipping is appreciated for excellent quality service and attention to your vehicle; however, this is at your discretion, and we recommend tipping to your heart's content :). 100% of any tip goes directly to the detailer.
-
Are you insured?We are fully insured in the rare chance of an accident occurring while we are detailing your car.

How are you different than a car wash?In short, our goal is to make your car look and feel brand new.

-
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?We will typically detail in any weather above 38° F degrees without heavy wind, rain or snow. We anticipate about 260 plus detailing days per year, so rest assured we will find the time to navigate any weather challenges we may face. We will reach out within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time if a reschedule is needed.
-
What's the difference between an express clean and a full detail?Express cleans are ideal for individual drivers with cars in good condition, for those who don't need every nook and cranny detailed, or for those that are okay with a less detailed clean. Express clean service is limited to 90 minutes, whereas the 3-4 hour full detail service is deigned to allow for enough time for most cars to be restored to like-new condition.
-
How are you different from other detailing companies?One of the main ways we're different from traditional detailing companies is that we're interior specialists. Since most of your experience driving will be spent on the inside, we believe our interior focus provides the best value and detailing experience for our customers. While we still wash the outside of your car as part of our full premium detail service, we're happy to provide recommendations to other companies for any specialized exterior services such as window tinting, ceramic coatings, or paint protection films. Most importantly, we apply a thorough and disciplined approach to our detailing. All of our services follow our proprietary detailing method and full details come with a 30-point checklist to ensure your satisfaction.
-
What is the difference between cleaning and detailing?Fresh Start brings a cleaning-focused approach to detailing. We use construction-grade steam and air tools to remove any dirt or grime. Approximately 85% of our time is spent using our top-of-the-line steamer, air compressor, and shop vacuum to restore your surface's original condition. The remaining time is spent finishing your trim and seats with our premium conditioning products. This last step, while not time intensive if the car has been properly cleaned, helps provide that new car look and feel. If the cleaning portion of the detail has been compromised, any coating products will likely leave a greasy, unfinished feel to your car.
