Prices run from £6 for a standard wash at Livingston Car Wash up to £200 for VDS Auto Detailing's ceramic coating, which reflects how differently these businesses are set up: a drive-in wash charges by the visit, while a mobile detailer offering paint correction and a multi-year coating prices in the hundreds rather than the tens of pounds. A published “from” price is usually the cheapest version of that service on a small car in reasonable condition – heavily soiled vehicles, larger vehicles such as 4x4s and vans, and add-ons such as pet hair removal or leather conditioning are typically charged on top, so treat every figure here as a starting point rather than a fixed quote.
The other 35 businesses across this directory, from long-established hand car wash yards in Bathgate and Broxburn to mobile valeters working out of Whitburn and Armadale, publish no prices at all. That is common among smaller and mobile operators who prefer to quote after seeing the car, and it is not by itself a sign of anything to worry about. If cost matters most to you, calling ahead with your car's size and condition will get you a like-for-like comparison faster than guessing from a headline price.
