Why the range is so wide
Granger's Valet, mobile from a base on the Kenley/Caterham border, prices its valets by vehicle size rather than by the work involved: £45 for a small car up to £60 for an extra-large one, each a straightforward valet rather than a graded package. LC Mills Detailing, also mobile and covering Croydon town centre out to South Croydon, Purley, Coulsdon, Thornton Heath and Crystal Palace, prices by the work instead: an £85 basic exterior detail and £90 basic interior detail sit at the bottom, a £140 full detail and £150-£180 deep exterior or interior details in the middle, and a £450 ceramic coating, £550 two-step paint correction and £900 combined correction-and-coating bundle at the top. The gap between the two businesses' cheapest lines and LC Mills' most expensive bundle mostly reflects the difference between a routine valet and specialist paint work, not one business overcharging against the other.
