Absolutely amazing service! My car looks spotless, inside and out. The team was friendly, professional and paid great attention to detail. You can really see the effort they put into making sure everything is done properly. Definitely worth the visit, and I’ll be coming back again. Highly recommend!

What people ask first.

What is the difference between mobile and on site?

Mobile means we come to your home or office at a time you book. On site means we are already at your business park or apartment block on its set day each week. The services and prices are the same, so choose whichever suits you.

How much does car detailing cost in Cape Town at The Car Bath?

The Executive Detail costs R1500, the same for cars, bakkies and SUVs. It includes everything in the Signature Valet, plus an exterior deep clean, clay bar treatment and polish, and engine bay detailing.

Do bakkies and SUVs cost more?

No. Cars, bakkies and SUVs all pay the same price, for every service. Mobile and on-site bookings cost the same too. The exception is high-end cars: prices for high-end cars may go up after we inspect the car, because of the extra care they need. We’ll tell you the new price before we start.

Can I bring my car to you instead?

Yes, by appointment. You can drop your car at our bay at 27 Honeyside Rd W, Frere Estate, Cape Town. Book first, because we do not take walk-ins.

Is it safe to have an expensive car washed by you?

Yes. We use pH-balanced soaps, soft microfibre cloths and gentle methods that help prevent scratches. We never leave your car unattended, every job ends with an inspection, and we carry public liability insurance.
