Frequently Asked Questions – GTS Detailing

We provide mobile detailing in Birmingham, AL and surrounding areas including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Trussville, Homewood, Mountain Brook, Alabaster, Pelham, Bessemer, Leeds, Gardendale, Fultondale, Helena, McCalla, Center Point, and more.

A car wash cleans the surface. Detailing goes deeper — it’s a full-service cleaning, restoration, and protection of your vehicle’s interior and exterior. We clean every crevice, condition surfaces, and leave your vehicle looking (and feeling) like new.

Depending on the package and the condition of the vehicle:

Exterior or Interior Only: 1–2 hours
Full-Service Detail: 2.5–4 hours
Fleet service times may vary based on vehicle quantity and needs.

Not necessarily! As long as we have access to your vehicle and the location is safe and accessible, you don’t have to be present during the service.

We bring everything we need — including water and power — unless otherwise specified. We also offer eco-friendly, waterless detailing options for tight spaces or water-restricted areas.
