Why almost nothing else here is priced
This stretch of the Kent coast is dominated by hand car wash yards, mobile valeters and single-listing directory entries rather than published price menus. The hand wash and unit yards here, Hythe Hand Car Wash, Mountfield Car Valeting Centre, Gleem 'n' Kleen Car Valetors and G C Car Valeting, price a wash or valet by eye once they see the vehicle rather than publishing a tariff. The mobile operators, Karman, Visit-U-Valet, Mobile SMART Repair, Black Sheep Valeting, AutoFresh Car Valeting, Gambles Mobile Detailing, Aqua Spray Mobile Car Valeting and TheDetailGuy, work the same way: a quote once they know the vehicle and, for the mobile ones, where it's parked. FrostPro Detailing, the one dedicated paint-correction and ceramic-coating studio in Dover, also quotes per job, since correction and coating prices depend heavily on paint condition rather than a fixed tariff. A cluster of businesses known mainly from a single specialist car-care directory listing, S.P Valeting, Kent Car Cleaning, A.P Valeting S.T, DMDiamondDetailing, JE Details, East Kent Detailing, Kent Auto Valet and Folkestone Car Valeting, publish no prices at all. Have the make, model and current condition of the car ready when you call any of them, since heavily soiled vehicles and any extras are usually charged on the day.
