When shopping for car detailing in Toronto and Scarborough, prices vary a lot depending on what your vehicle actually needs. From a $129 exterior-only wash to a $1,200 multi-stage paint correction package, it can be confusing to know what you’re paying for. Here is a realistic, service-by-service guide to 2026 pricing at a real Scarborough studio.
Quick answer: interior-only detailing starts at $149, a full interior + exterior detail runs $199 to $499, paint correction runs $250 to $1,200 depending on how many stages your paint needs, and ceramic coating (which always includes paint correction first) starts at $599.
Interior Detailing (From $149)
A proper interior detail is not just a vacuum. Our interior detailing starts at $149 for a Refresh package — full interior vacuum, dust removal, interior window cleaning, and mirror polish. The $249 Full Deep Clean adds upholstery cleaning, sanitization, and steam cleaning of all surfaces. The $299 Premium + Ozone tier adds seat shampooing, carpet extraction, ozone odour treatment, and leather conditioning, and includes pet hair removal.
Full Interior + Exterior Detail ($199 – $499)
This is the most popular category — a complete reset for a daily driver, combining interior and exterior work. Our Essential Detail starts at $199 and covers a full interior refresh plus a premium exterior hand wash with wheel and tire cleaning. The Complete Detail at $279 adds clay bar decontamination, upholstery sanitizing, and carnauba wax protection. The Ultimate Detail runs $349 to $499 and adds paint prep polishing and sealant protection for vehicles that need a deeper reset or pre-sale prep. Exterior-only service, if you just need the outside done, starts at $129.
Paint Correction ($250 – $1,200)
Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation through machine polishing — it’s a labor-intensive service, which is why the range is wide. Single-stage correction runs $250 to $350 and is right for light swirls. Two-stage correction runs $500 to $700 for moderate defects. Three-stage correction, for heavier damage and showroom-level results, runs $800 to $1,200. Pricing depends on vehicle size and how much correction the paint actually needs — we quote after a paint inspection, not off a phone call.
Ceramic Coating (From $599)
Ceramic coating is priced by tier, and every tier includes paint correction first — we don’t offer coating without correction. Our 2-year single-stage package starts at $599. The 4-year two-stage and 6-year multi-layer packages cost more depending on vehicle size and paint condition, and we quote those after a free paint assessment. See our full ceramic coating breakdown for what each tier includes.
What Actually Changes Your Price
The three biggest price factors are vehicle size (SUVs and trucks typically add $30 to $50 over sedan pricing), paint condition (heavy oxidation or embedded contamination takes longer to correct), and add-ons like ozone deodorizing, engine bay cleaning, or headlight restoration. A shop that quotes a fixed price without seeing your car is either padding the estimate or planning to upsell you once it’s in the bay.

How much does a full car detail cost in Toronto?
A full interior + exterior detail at Beyond Detail in Scarborough runs $199 to $499 depending on the package — Essential ($199), Complete ($279), or Ultimate ($349–$499). SUVs and trucks add roughly $30 to $50 over sedan pricing.
Is ceramic coating worth the extra cost over a regular detail?
Ceramic coating starts at $599 and includes paint correction, versus a $279–$349 detail where wax or sealant wears off in weeks. If you’re keeping the car for years and want salt, UV, and scratch resistance that lasts 2 to 6 years, the extra cost buys real long-term protection that a standard wax can’t match.
Why does paint correction pricing vary so much?
Paint correction is priced by labor, not a flat fee, because the amount of polishing needed depends entirely on how much damage is in the clear coat. Single-stage correction ($250–$350) fixes light swirls in one pass. Three-stage correction ($800–$1,200) removes heavier scratches and oxidation across multiple passes and can take up to three days.
Does detailing cost more for SUVs and trucks than sedans?
Yes. Most packages at Beyond Detail add roughly $30 for SUVs and $50 for trucks and minivans over the sedan base price, because larger vehicles take longer to wash, vacuum, and polish.
