How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Solihull and Shirley in 2026?
We looked at 25 car detailing and valeting businesses across Solihull town centre, Shirley, Olton, Elmdon, Knowle and Dorridge in September 2026. Not one of them publishes a full price list. Every business in this directory quotes over the phone or once they've seen the vehicle in person.
Why nothing here is priced
Solihull's detailing and valeting trade splits into three groups, and none of them tend to publish a menu. A handful of unit-based studios, including LS Detail at Blythe Valley Park, MNM Details on a farm site in Knowle and Purified Services in Dorridge, do paint correction, ceramic coating and decontamination work; prices for this kind of job depend heavily on the condition of the paint, so it's quoted after an inspection rather than fixed in advance. Fixed valeting yards, concentrated on Stratford Road and Longmore Road in Shirley (Shirley Valeting Centre, SF Valeting Centre, Nsel Detailing, Maximum Detailing) and around Solihull town centre (Lode Lane Car Valeting Centre, Paintwork Plus, City Centre Car Care Co, Inter Car Cleaning), typically price a wash or valet by eye once they see the car, rather than running a published tariff. The long tail of one-person mobile valeters working from a home address, heaviest in Solihull town centre and Shirley – CVL Detailing, Autocare Of Solihull, Elite Mobile Valeting, Detail Kings, Pro Valet, Ultimate Transport Valet, Keep It Clean Valeting and Mobile Car Valeting Solihull among them – work the same way: a quote by phone once you describe the car and what you want done.
What to have ready when you call
Have the make, model and current condition of the car ready, since heavily soiled vehicles, pet hair, stubborn stains and any add-on treatments (ceramic coating, paint correction, engine bay cleaning) are usually charged as extras once the business has seen what's involved. Jjrs Details Ltd in Dickens Heath and CVL Detailing both publish multiple ceramic coating tiers rather than a single price, so ask which tier a quote covers before you compare it with anyone else's.
