Mobile car detailing in Tuggeranong.

Most houses down here have a driveway

The housing is mostly 1970s to early-1990s stock, and 79.5 per cent of homes in Tuggeranong are separate houses. A driveway is close to certain, and there is usually room to work around one car.

Cover is the part that varies. Plenty of these blocks have an open carport rather than a garage. Exterior and interior work is fine in the open. Paint correction and ceramic coating are not, so we check what you have before we book anything.

We need an outdoor tap and a 240V power point. We bring the rest. If your car lives in a basement under an apartment block in Greenway, we can work in the bay, as long as there is water and power down there and the complex lets us in. Tell us which one and we will check.

Wood smoke sits in this valley

Cold nights put an inversion over the valley and hold the smoke down instead of letting it lift. The ACT's southern air monitor at Monash recorded 51 of the Territory's 67 daily PM2.5 exceedances between 2015 and 2022, most of it wood heater smoke.

It settles on horizontal panels and it works into the cabin. That is why interior detail from $140 is not an afterthought down here. Half the time it is the job that changes how the car feels.

Old gums and a decade of brush washes

These streets were planted when the town went in, so the trees are mature eucalypts now. Old enough to drop limbs, shed bark and put gum nuts on whatever is parked underneath. Add a decade of automatic brush washes and you get the swirls and the flat patches under the streetlight.

Paint correction from $397 is what takes that back. A ceramic coating holds the result afterwards, $997 for three years up to $1,597 for seven on a large 4WD. The monthly maintenance plan, from $90, is there so you keep it rather than pay for it twice.

We do not fit paint protection film, window tinting or rim repairs.
