How Much Does Mobile Detailing Cost in Jacksonville? (2026 Price Guide)
If you search "mobile detailing cost Jacksonville" you'll mostly find shops that make you fill out a form before they'll tell you a number. That's backwards. So here's the honest range up front: a mobile detail in the Jacksonville area runs from about $160 for a full exterior wash to $1,550 for a five-year ceramic coating on a big truck. Most people land somewhere in the middle. Below is exactly what you pay, why the number moves, and the one Florida-specific thing that quietly adds time to almost every summer detail.
The short answer: mobile detailing prices in Jacksonville

What you actually pay, by service
"Detailing" is four pretty different jobs, and lumping them into one price is how you end up surprised. Here's what each one costs and what it's for.
A full exterior reset — foam wash, decontamination, clay, and a graphene sealant that makes the next wash easier.
See the Wash / Clay / Seal page →Inside and out. The exterior wash plus a complete interior restoration — carpets, leather, steam, every crevice.
See the Restoration Detail page →1-, 3-, and 5-year ceramic tiers, each with a single-stage paint enhancement to maximize gloss.
See the Ceramic Paint Protection page →A standing bi-weekly appointment that keeps a detailed vehicle detailed, offered after your first detail.

The starting price assumes a normally-dirty vehicle. A few things move the number, and none of them are a mystery — I'll tell you before I start, not after.
- Vehicle size. A sedan, a midsize SUV, and a full-size truck are three different amounts of paint, glass, and carpet. That's the sedan/midsize/full-size ladder in every price above.
- Condition. A car that's washed monthly is quick. One that's been sitting under a pollen-dropping oak since spring takes real extra work.
- Pet hair. Embedded dog and cat hair is its own job — it doesn't vacuum out, it has to be pulled. That's a $50 add-on.
- Interiors that need more than a wipe. Deep stains, spills, and smoke get a shampoo extraction ($250–$450) or an odor treatment ($15) rather than a cover-up spray.
If that sounds like your car right now, love bugs are a real seasonal thing here, not me being dramatic — here's the bug. Green Cove to the beaches, everybody deals with it.
Is mobile detailing more expensive than dropping it at a shop?
Fair question, and the honest answer is: not really, and you're paying for a different thing. A drop-off shop costs you a half-day of your time and a ride to go with it. Mobile means the shop shows up to your house or your office parking lot and you never stop what you're doing.
The reason some mobile detailers charge a premium is they hunt for a spigot and an outlet at your place. We don't — the truck is fully self-contained with its own water and power, so there's no hookup, no hose from your garage, and no "do you have an outlet we can use." That's the whole point of a mobile detail: it should be less hassle, not more, for the same money.
How to get an exact price for your vehicle
The tables above get you within a few dollars. For an exact quote, tell me the vehicle, roughly how it's living (daily driver, kid-and-dog hauler, weekend truck), and where you're parked. You'll usually get a straight number back the same day — no form maze.
One more thing worth knowing: military and first responders get 10% off any package. Just mention it when you book. Veteran-owned and law-enforcement-operated ourselves — it's the least we can do.

Mobile detailing cost — common questions
How much does mobile detailing cost in Jacksonville?
A mobile detail in the Jacksonville area runs from about $160 for a full exterior Wash / Clay / Seal to $250–$300 for a complete interior-and-exterior Restoration Detail. Ceramic coatings run $700 to $1,550 depending on the tier and vehicle size, and bi-weekly maintenance plans are $100 to $150 per visit. Final price depends on vehicle size and condition.
Is mobile detailing more expensive than a drop-off shop?
Not meaningfully. You're paying a similar amount to have the detail come to your home or job site instead of losing a half-day to a drop-off. Brake Through brings its own water and power, so there's no hookup needed and no premium for being mobile.
How much is a ceramic coating in Jacksonville?
Brake Through ceramic coatings start at $700 for a 1-year, $1,000 for a 3-year, and $1,250 for a 5-year on a sedan, rising by vehicle size up to $1,550 for a 5-year on a full-size SUV or truck. Every package includes a single-stage paint enhancement to maximize gloss.
Do you charge extra for pet hair or love bugs?
Embedded pet hair is a $50 add-on because it has to be pulled, not vacuumed. Love bugs aren't a separate charge, but in season they can add time and an extra decontamination pass, which is one reason a summer exterior can take longer than the same car in winter.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. Military and first responders save 10% on any detail package — just mention it when you book. Brake Through is veteran-owned and law-enforcement-operated.
