Question 1

How much does car detailing cost in Columbia SC?

Accepted Answer

We use simple flat pricing that doesn't change with your vehicle's size. An Exterior Detail starts at $150 and an Interior Detail at $350. Our Level 2 Full Reset—a full interior and exterior deep clean with wax—is $375, and $225 Level 1 Maintenance Details are available anytime you rebook the same vehicle by day 90, with service by day 97. For paint protection, paint correction starts at $599 and ceramic coating starts at $850. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and mobile service is included at no extra charge within our Midlands service area. Exact pricing provided during booking.

Question 2

What is your most popular detailing package?

Accepted Answer

Our Level 2 Full Reset is the most popular package with Columbia SC customers. This deep-clean package includes full interior deep cleaning with shampoo and extraction, light stain removal, complete exterior foam wash, tire and wheel detailing, engine bay detailing, and a protective layer of wax. Starting at $375, with the final quote confirmed before service, it gets your vehicle back to a level where we can maintenance clean it for you—rebook the same vehicle by day 90, with service by day 97 and the $225 Level 1 Maintenance Detail rate applies. Most customers stay on that maintenance schedule. The Level 2 Full Reset takes 3-5 hours and leaves vehicles looking showroom-new.

Question 3

Can I get just interior or just exterior detailing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We offer interior-only and exterior-only packages for customers with specific needs. Interior-only detailing starts at $350 and now includes a full deep clean — steam cleaning plus shampoo & extraction of upholstery and carpets (perfect for new cars or when the exterior is fine) — and exterior-only starts at $150 (great for maintained interiors or a quick refresh). Our Level 2 Full Reset combines both plus shampoo & extraction and the engine bay for $375—and rebooking within 90 days makes follow-up combined details just $225 with our Level 1 Maintenance Detail. Many Columbia SC customers alternate—interior in summer (AC season) and exterior in spring/fall—but the 90-day rhythm works best for both, and it's what keeps that $225 maintenance rate unlocked. We customize to your needs and budget, and we never push services you don't need.

Question 4

How long does a full car detailing take?

Accepted Answer

A complete car detailing service typically takes 3-5 hours depending on your vehicle's size and condition. Our basic packages take about 2-3 hours, while premium services with paint correction and ceramic coating can take 5-8 hours. At Mikahs Auto Detailing, we serve Columbia, Lexington, and surrounding areas with mobile service, so you can continue your day while we detail your vehicle at your location. We never rush the process to ensure exceptional results.

Question 5

Do you detail trucks and SUVs?
