How does mobile detailing work? +
We come to wherever your car is — your home, workplace, or any other location in Topeka. We bring all of our own equipment, products, and water. You don't need to provide anything. Just let us know when and where, and we handle the rest.
How long does a detail take? +
It depends on the service. An exterior refresh takes about 1.5 hours. An interior refresh takes around 3 hours. A full in & out detail takes approximately 4 hours. These times can vary based on vehicle size and condition.
Do I need to be home during the detail? +
You don't have to be home, but you do need to make sure we can access the vehicle. Many customers leave their car in the driveway or parking lot and go about their day. We'll reach out when we're done.
What vehicles do you detail? +
We detail all vehicle types — sedans, small SUVs, large SUVs, trucks, and vans. Pricing varies slightly based on vehicle size. Use our quote generator at tristensautowash.com/quote.html to get an instant estimate.
Do you bring your own water and supplies? +
Yes — we bring absolutely everything. Our mobile setup includes a water supply, all professional-grade detailing products, vacuums, polishers, and microfiber towels. You don't need to provide a thing.

How much does a detail cost? +
Our services start at $80 for an exterior refresh and go up to $180–$240 for a full in & out detail. Check our services page or use the instant quote generator on our website for exact pricing based on your vehicle type.
Do you do paint correction? +
Yes! We offer a one-step polish starting at $120 and a two-step polish starting at $220. These remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Contact us for a consultation if you're unsure which level of correction your vehicle needs.
What is the Monthly Detail Club? +
Our Monthly Detail Club is a subscription service starting at $99.99/month. Your first visit is a full interior reset at regular price to get your car to a clean baseline. Every month after that, we come back and maintain it at the locked-in club rate.
Do you offer headlight restoration? +
Yes — we restore both headlights for $100. Cloudy or yellowed headlights not only look bad, they reduce your nighttime visibility significantly. We sand, polish, and seal them so they look clear again.
How do I pay? +
We accept all major payment methods through our Square booking system, including credit/debit cards. Payment is processed securely at the time of booking or at time of service.
