Refund Policy
Last updated September 2026. This policy explains The Detailing Autohaus's terms on payments, cancellations and refunds for all detailing services.
No refunds on completed or scheduled work
Because every detail at The Detailing Autohaus is a bespoke, made-to-order service — prepared specifically for your vehicle, booked into a single studio and carried out by one dedicated detailer — all payments, including deposits and balances, are non-refundable once a booking is made.
This is standard practice for specialist detailing studios: once your slot is reserved, that time cannot be resold, and materials and studio time are committed to your vehicle. Please be certain of your vehicle's requirements before booking — we are always happy to advise before you commit.
Rescheduling your booking
We understand plans change. If you need to move your appointment, contact us as early as possible — ideally at least 72 hours before your slot. Provided we receive reasonable notice, we will transfer your booking to a new date at no charge, subject to studio availability.
Cancellations made with less than 72 hours' notice, or non-attendance on the day, may forfeit the booking or require a new deposit to rebook, as the reserved studio time cannot be filled at short notice.
Our satisfaction commitment
Although payments are non-refundable, you will never be asked to accept work you are not happy with. Before any vehicle leaves the studio, we carry out a final inspection with you under proper lighting.
If you identify a genuine fault with the work — for example, a defect we agreed to correct that remains unresolved — we will rectify it at no additional cost. Any concerns raised after collection should be made within 7 days, ideally with photographs, so we can assess and correct the issue.
What is not covered
- Pre-existing paint damage, stone chips, dents or corrosion that was present before your vehicle arrived
- Damage caused after collection, including automatic car washes, improper washing or third-party work
- Fair wear and tear on ceramic coatings, which are protective — not scratch-proof — and require the maintenance set out in your care guide
- Change-of-mind cancellations after the 72-hour notice window
Deposit and payment terms
Where a deposit is required to secure a booking, the amount will be confirmed with you at the time of booking. Deposits are deducted from your final balance and, in line with this policy, are non-refundable except where we cancel the appointment ourselves.
If we need to cancel or move your booking for reasons within our control, you will be offered a priority reschedule at your convenience.
