Pricing

regarding pricing

If you are looking for the cheapest, quickest possible detail, I will be honest and tell you that Show on the Road might not be for you.  I seek to do the best possible job I can and provide the best long-term value to you as the customer and the best long-term care for your vehicle.  I’m not looking to make a quick buck with rushed jobs that are "good enough."  And while I welcome and encourage repeat customers, I do not want you to have to see me for services more than you want to or should have to.  If you want "good enough," there are car washes and detailers out there willing to provide that.  If you are looking for quality and a long-term value that makes every dollar spent really feel worthwhile, then Show on the Road is for you. If you are on a tight budget but would like to avoid being stuck with sub-standard service from someone else, don’t be afraid to ask—I’m happy to perform as much service as I can within the constraints of a limited budget with a mind on giving you the most bang for your buck and minding your highest priorities.

IMPORTANT: The following are STARTING prices. Many factors will influence your final price including, but not limited to: if the vehicle has been detailed before and when it was last detailed, excess dirt, road salt, pet fur, cigar(ette) smoke or e-cig vapor residue, rubber marks from race tracks, stain removal, scratch correction, etc. Pricing includes 50 miles of round-trip travel from my home office in Racine, WI, and additional mileage may have a trip charge at $0.50 per additional mile. Special accommodations are possible to eliminate or alleviate trip charges for customers in the Oshkosh and Sheboygan areas with flexible scheduling; contact me for more info.

Note regarding ceramic coatings:

While Show on the Road is a certified mobile installer for Gyeon, able to provide installation of Gyeon Q2 Cancoat Pro and Gyeon Q2 Flash (10-year manufacturer warranty!), Show on the Road is not limited to Gyeon ceramic coatings and does not have any exclusive partnerships with any product manufacturers. These arrangements often improve access and profitability for detailers but come at the cost of limiting options for customers. Every ceramic coating is handled in a bespoke manner where every coating is chosen on a case-by-case basis and special-ordered. This adds some variation to costs from one coating to another, and I have tried to categorize the numerous available ceramic coating options available in a simplistic way to add a little extra context as you begin to consider your options. I am genuinely fond of Gyeon coatings, but Show on the Road has also installed ceramic coatings by CarPro, 22ple, Gtechniq, Kamikaze, McKee’s 37, and more. Again, these are merely starting prices, and final estimates can vary, but I hope you find this helpful as opposed to one generic starting price or a statement to “contact us for more info.”
