Expert Car Care & Wash Packages
Welcome to the Edmonds Auto Spa FAQ page! With over 25 years of experience serving Edmonds, Shoreline, Seattle, and Bothell, we know you have questions about keeping your vehicle looking, feeling, and smelling brand new. Whether you’re curious about our 100% full-service hand-wash process, our eco-friendly detailing methods, or which of our custom auto detailing packages is right for your car, truck, or SUV, we’ve got you covered. Read through our most frequently asked questions below to learn how we protect your investment.
What areas does Edmonds Auto Spa serve?
We proudly provide premium auto detailing and hand car wash services to drivers in Edmonds, WA, as well as the surrounding communities of Shoreline, Seattle, and Bothell.
Do you use automated machines for your car washes?
No, we never use automated machines. Unlike fast-pass machine washes that rely on aggressive brushes and recycled water, we provide a 100% full-service hand wash. Our trained professionals carefully wash and dry your vehicle by hand to lift dirt safely and protect your delicate paint finish.
What makes your car washing process eco-friendly?
We are committed to both clean cars and a clean environment! We use a non-toxic, chemical-free method featuring 2.5 pH electrolyzed acid water. This effectively cleans your vehicle while keeping harmful soaps and detergent toxins out of local drains.
What is the difference between a standard car wash and exterior detailing?
A basic car wash simply removes surface dirt. An Exterior Detailing goes much deeper by cleaning, reconditioning, and restoring your vehicle’s finish. Depending on the package you choose, this can include a clay bar treatment, bug and sap removal, and a premium hybrid ceramic wax application for a mirror-like shine.
What does your interior detailing service include?
Our Interior Detailing service completely refreshes your cabin. It includes a surface shampoo, targeted stain removal, vacuuming, leather cleaning and conditioning, vinyl care, interior sanitization, and odor removal. We even include a complimentary exterior hand wash with every interior detail!
Do you offer detailing packages for different vehicle sizes?
Yes! We customize our pricing and services based on the size of your vehicle. We have specific package tiers for 2-Door Coupes, Sedans, SUVs & Trucks, and Minivans to ensure every make and model gets the precise care it needs.
How much does a full car detail cost?
The cost of a Full Detailing depends on your vehicle size and the level of restoration required (Bronze, Silver, or Gold packages). Prices generally range from $400 for a 2-Door Coupe (Bronze) to $1100 for a Minivan (Gold). Please note that additional fees may apply for excessive grime or heavy pet hair.
Do you offer an express car wash if I am in a hurry?
Absolutely. We offer an Express Car Wash designed for drivers who want a high-quality hand wash and tire shine without the wait. It delivers a spotless finish without relying on automated brushes or shortcuts.
Can you remove bad odors or cigarette smoke smells from my car?
Yes, driving a smelly car is miserable! We offer professional Deodorizing and Ozone treatments to eliminate deep-set odors from carpets and upholstery, leaving your interior smelling completely renewed.
How do you treat leather seats during an interior detail?
Our interior detailing packages include dedicated Leather Care. We carefully clean and condition all leather surfaces throughout the cabin to prevent cracking, restore softness, and keep your seats looking pristine.
What is a clay bar treatment, and is it included in your services?
A clay bar treatment safely pulls embedded contaminants (like brake dust, industrial fallout, and sap) out of your vehicle’s clear coat, leaving the paint feeling smooth as glass. It is included in our Platinum Signature Detail and our standard Exterior Detailing packages.
Can you remove stubborn water spots or paint overspray?
Yes, we offer specialized Water Spot Removal and Overspray Removal services. We use expert detailing techniques to safely remove paint overspray, dust, debris, and hard water spots to restore a flawless finish to your car’s exterior.
Do you clean engine bays?
We do! We offer a Degrease & Steam Engine service that thoroughly cleans and restores your engine bay with professional degreasing and steam treatments for a well-maintained look under the hood.
Do you offer detailing for boats and RVs?
Yes, our expertise extends beyond standard passenger vehicles. We offer detailing services for Marine Boats & Recreational Vehicles (RVs) to protect them from the elements and keep them looking great on the water or the road.
My headlights are cloudy. Can you fix them?
Yes, we provide professional Headlight Restoration to remove yellowing and oxidation. This not only improves the look of your vehicle but also enhances nighttime driving visibility and safety.
