At-home car wash: what price to pay in the UK

Example 1: Request for a full vehicle clean

💰 Total price paid: £52
⏳ Hourly rate: £26/h

Let’s start with the perfect post! 

Detailed, it lists all the tasks to be done, the vehicle model, and the date and time of the service (which isn't as important on Yoojo, as you specify that in your post). 

Thanks to their detailed post, this client from Sheffield received numerous replies and lots of price offers… there’s nothing better for booking the best rate available. 

💡 Tip: 

Customise your post and give as many details as possible to attract the best professionals. Our algorithm only connects you with qualified providers who are available on your chosen dates… the more details you include in your post, the more likely you are to get offers.

Example 2: Clean only the car's interior

💰 Total price paid: £36
⏳ Hourly rate: £14/h

There are certain life events, like holidays or moving, that are especially good at causing dirt to build up in your car’s interior.

That’s exactly what this client from Norwich realised when they needed their interior thoroughly cleaned. Luckily, they found a local expert on Yoojo. 

In the end, this deeply soiled interior was cleaned for just £36 for 2.5 hours of work!

💡 Tip: 

You’ll receive price offers from experts near you, with no commitment. 

That’s right: on Yoojo, you only make a prepayment if you decide to book a provider. 

Plus, your payment is securely held in our virtual vault until the job is completed. Paying for a service has never been this safe!

Example 3: Cleaning vomit from the back seat

💰 Total price paid: £18
⏳ Hourly rate: £12/h

Ah, kids are wonderful… but they do have a tendency to get car-sick!

Sometimes, you just need a quick helping hand, and on Yoojo, you can also book a neighbour for just one hour. 

Our customer was able to get the interior smelling fresh again for only £18, quite the bargain!

💡 Tip: 

How is such a low rate possible?

Yoojo connects you with local neighbours looking for jobs in which they excel. So, you save significantly on travel costs. 

Example 4: Requesting a fully equipped car cleaner

💰 Total price paid: £25
⏳ Hourly rate: £13/h

This post is interesting because the client specifically asked to be connected with people who have all the right equipment. 

That’s no problem because our algorithm only connects you with people who are competent and equipped. Why mention it then? 

• Because it doesn’t hurt to ask.
• And, if the client has all the equipment on hand, they can ask the provider to lower the price!

It’s up to you to decide what works best!

💡 Tip: 

On Yoojo, you can see all the equipment each provider has on their profile.

If you’re unsure, before booking, you can chat with all interested providers through the message feature in your post!

Example 5: Cleaning car upholstery

💰 Total price paid: £32
⏳ Hourly rate: £32/h

On Yoojo, we’ve seen about 10 times more requests for interior cleaning than exterior washes. 

Understandable, rain won’t clean your interior! :)

In this example, our client requested a thorough cleaning of all the car's upholstery, a task recommended at least once a year. 

In the end, vacuuming and cleaning the upholstery only cost them £32!

💡 Tip: 

The price offered by the professionals on Yoojo includes travel and service fees. You can discuss consumables through the instant messaging before booking.

Example 6: Requesting a dry wash for the bodywork

💰 Total price paid: £35
⏳ Hourly rate: £35/h

You probably know that a dry car wash costs a bit more than a Kärcher wash.

In our example, even though the service lasted just an hour, the provider came with all the necessary equipment and products for a dry wash. 

As a customer, you should obviously factor this into the price for the service requested.

Nevertheless, our customer in Smethwick only paid £35 for this dry wash service.

💡 Tip: 

Are your local car wash stations closed? On Yoojo, you can find an at-home car washer 7 days a week. 

Post your ad for free with no commitment, and you’ll receive quotes in less than an hour, typically!

Example 7: Request for an "American-style" car wash

💰 Total price paid: £24
⏳ Hourly rate: £24/h

What is an "American-style" car wash?

It’s a foam wash. The product is applied over the entire body of the car, cleanses it, and is rinsed off with just a little water. 

On Yoojo, you’ll also find professionals equipped with foam cannons. Don’t hesitate to ask them.  

💡 Tip: 

On Yoojo, there is no predefined price!

You’ll engage directly with interested cleaners, and they’ll propose a personalised rate to carry out the job… so it’s important to detail your post thoroughly. 

Don’t worry, if the rates don’t suit you, you won’t pay anything until you book someone. 

Example 8: Requesting car bodywork polishing

💰 Total price paid: £28
⏳ Hourly rate: £14/h

Is it time to give your car bodywork a fresh shine?

Do what this customer from Edinburgh did and opt for a good polish to restore your car’s splendour. 

And why spend 2 hours of your time when you can have an expert come to you for only £28.

💡 Tip: 

On each provider’s profile, you’ll find reviews and ratings left by the community. Thanks to the feedback from your neighbours, you can easily choose someone reliable who does good work. Don’t hesitate to check them out before booking!
