Why almost nothing else here is priced
Away from Chauvel's, this part of Bridgend county runs on hand car wash yards and mobile valeters who price a wash or valet once they see the car, rather than publishing a fixed menu. In Bridgend town, Unique Hand Car Wash, Mirror Finish Valeting, Tns Mobile Valeting and Grove Autocare (a garage that also takes on valeting work) all quote on the day. It's the same in the rest of the north villages – Arnotts Valeting Services, Wax Works, Waxworks, Carcare Mobile Valeting, Bubbles Squeeze Valeting, Davies Valeting Centre and A Buzz Detail, an Autobead-accredited detailer who offers paint correction and ceramic coatings of its own – and in Pyle and Kenfig Hill (Pyle Hand Car Wash, Spit And Shine Mobile Car Wash, Lellers Mobile Car Valeting, Mint, MP Valeting and iDetail Valeting). Pencoed's Dixon's Valeting and Detailing, a purpose-built studio, and Etto Mobile Car Valeting & Detailing, and Porthcawl's Sapphire Valet Services and Pole Position Car Care, also both offering ceramic coating and paint correction, work the same way: a quote once they've seen the car. Have the make, model and current condition ready when you call any of them, since a heavily soiled interior or paintwork that needs correcting before a coating goes on will usually cost more than a routine wash-and-valet quote.
