Who Writes the Guides?

Jay, the owner of EvaFresh Auto Spa, who has 5+ years in mobile detailing, writes the guides from the work the business does.

Where a guide states a technical fact, it names the source and links to it, and a statement with no reliable source is left out. The guides are general advice for any driver in Ontario, and the business's own prices and times appear only as labelled examples after the general answer.

Ready to Choose a Service?

When you have read enough, compare the services. The packages and prices page lists each one with its price plus HST, and you can book online with the booking and quote form in a few minutes. If you want a figure for your own car first, send the make, model and a photo, and a free estimate comes back the same day.
