Good price for full interior & exterior detailing?

I saw someone offering around $225 for a full exterior and interior detail and $175 for full exterior, is it worth it?

Thanks

It depends on what kind of shape your car's in, how good the detailer is, and how it compares to other prices in your area.

if I could charge those prices I would be in heaven....depends on the condition of the car, the size of the car and the make of the car.....yes the make of the car matters....hard clear coats take longer to work out.....and also the color of the car....black takes longer, therefore charge more

i also would love to charge prices like that, but people here are to cheap. I thought it would be easier to get prices like that in orange county.

all varries. I charge around 120-170 for a full detail. But some can charge 200-300 for a full detail. All depends on the area and cometition.

That amount of work is worth $175 imo.

The only question left is the quality of the workmanship. So-So detail and $100 ain't worth it for me or if one of our Autopians were detailing it then I would pay $225+tip. But thats me.

What part of the country are you in? That can make a huge difference.

Have you called their number to ask what all is included in their detail?
