Deposit payment is not collected inside the current website booking form.
Satisfaction guarantee
LA’s Auto Detailing stands behind the quality of its workmanship.
Customers should inspect their vehicle at completion. If a customer believes an included part of the booked service was missed or was not completed to a reasonable professional standard, they must contact LA’s Auto Detailing within 24 hours of receiving the vehicle.
The customer may be asked to provide photos or other reasonable details and must allow LA’s Auto Detailing an opportunity to inspect the vehicle.
When a valid workmanship concern is confirmed, LA’s Auto Detailing will correct the affected area at no additional labour charge. The remedy may be limited to re-performing the affected portion of the original service.
This does not cover:
- Permanent stains or odours that cannot reasonably be removed.
- Scratches, fading, oxidation, corrosion, paint damage, burns, tears, dents, chips, or other pre-existing damage.
- Defects or damage concealed by dirt, personal belongings, previous repairs, or aftermarket modifications.
- Results explained as limited before or during the service.
- New damage or contamination occurring after the vehicle was returned.
- Normal wear and tear.
- Expectations beyond the package or services purchased.
- Areas or services the customer declined.
- Vehicles not made available for inspection or correction when reasonably requested.
The satisfaction guarantee does not automatically provide a cash refund. LA’s Auto Detailing must first be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and correct the confirmed workmanship concern.
Ceramic-coating workmanship warranty
12-month workmanship warranty beginning on the installation date. This workmanship warranty is separate from any 3-year, 5-year, or 8-year coating package label.
Covers confirmed installation defects caused by LA’s Auto Detailing, including visible coating-application issues such as high spots or uneven application.
Coating performance and lifespan depend on the coating package selected, paint condition, vehicle use and storage, environmental exposure, washing methods, maintenance, and compliance with aftercare instructions. Any manufacturer-stated product lifespan is an estimate and is not a guarantee.
Eligibility requires:
- Following curing and aftercare instructions.
- Avoiding washing during the prohibited initial curing period.
- Avoiding prohibited conditions during curing.
- Using suitable wash products and methods.
- Avoiding automatic car washes with abrasive brushes.
- Promptly notifying LA’s Auto Detailing of a possible installation issue.
- Making the vehicle available for inspection.
This warranty does not cover:
- Swirl marks, scratches, stone chips, dents, collision damage, vandalism, rust, corrosion, paint failure, or clear-coat failure.
- Water spotting, mineral deposits, industrial fallout, tree sap, bird droppings, road salt, chemicals, or environmental contamination not removed promptly.
- Damage from improper washing, polishing, compounding, pressure washing, or harsh chemicals.
- Damage caused by another detailer, body shop, dealership, car wash, or vehicle owner.
- Failure caused by neglect, misuse, accidents, extreme conditions, or lack of maintenance.
- Pre-existing paint defects disclosed before installation.
- Reduced hydrophobic behaviour caused by surface contamination when the coating itself remains present.
- Vehicles that receive paintwork, body repairs, wraps, polishing, or similar work after installation.
Remedy: correct or reapply the coating to the affected area. Does not automatically include full-vehicle reapplication, additional paint correction, bodywork, loss-of-use compensation, or a cash refund.
Original customer and vehicle only; not transferable.
