FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything we get asked most often about appointments, pricing, coatings and what's actually possible. Can't find it? Call (818) 531-5072 or email big@comedianjonathan.com.

  • Express hand washes are first-come, first-served Mon–Sat. Full details, paint correction, and ceramic coatings are by appointment only — book online or call (818) 531-5072 and we'll usually get you in within a few days.

  • Express hand wash takes about 45 minutes. A full interior or full exterior detail runs 2.5–3 hours. A complete detail (inside + out) takes most of the day. Paint correction is a half-day; ceramic coatings are typically a 1–2 day appointment.

  • We are a fixed-location shop at 1901 Glenoaks Blvd in San Fernando. We do not do mobile detailing — a controlled, shaded, well-lit bay is the only way to do correction and coating work safely. Drop-off is the easiest, but we have a small waiting area with Wi-Fi.

  • Cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Zelle and Venmo. We do not store card information after the transaction.

  • If you keep your car more than two years, drive it daily, and hate washing it — yes. A real, professionally installed coating means washes take less than half the time, water beads off, and bird droppings and tree sap don't bond to the paint the way they used to. We don't recommend a coating to anyone selling the car within a year.

  • Most light swirls and water etching come out with our 1-step paint correction. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot be polished out — those need touch-up paint or panel work. We'll tell you honestly which category yours fall into before we start.

  • Yes — trucks, full-size SUVs, vans and lifted vehicles all welcome. Oversized vehicles are typically $20–$60 more depending on the package; the upcharge is shown on your online quote before you book.

  • Pet hair is one of our most-requested add-ons. It's $69 added to any interior detail, or a stand-alone $89 stand-alone service. Heavy or long-haired breeds may take longer — we'll quote you honestly at drop-off.

  • Yes. We service local fleets, dealer trade-ins, and weekly/bi-weekly recurring customers at a discount. Email Andres at big@comedianjonathan.com with the type and number of vehicles and we'll put together a quote.

  • We use professional-grade pH-neutral wash media, dedicated wheel cleaners, IPA panel prep, and SiO₂ ceramic coatings. Nothing acidic or abrasive on paint. Wash mitts and microfibers are washed separately by color-coded use to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Yes. If something is missed on the day of service, bring it back within 48 hours and we'll re-do it at no charge. Ceramic coatings carry a written warranty (2 years on our standard package).

  • Free reschedule any time up to 24 hours before your appointment. Cancellations inside 24 hours forfeit a $25 hold; same-day no-shows are charged the full deposit. Call us, we're reasonable.
