Welcome to The Driveway Detail, LLC (“The Driveway Detail”). We provide luxury auto detailing services in the Greater Atlanta area and are based in Marietta, GA. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our services.
1. Vehicle Condition and Prioritization
a. Inspection and Disclosure: Our paramount concern is the well-being of your vehicle and the application of proper detailing techniques. Upon arrival, we reserve the right to inspect your vehicle to confirm its condition and identify any issues that may affect the service. You must disclose any pre-existing damages—including scratches, dents, or other imperfections—that may be exacerbated during the detailing process.
b. We reserve the right to refuse service for any procedure that may potentially damage your vehicle. While we strive for the best possible outcome, we cannot guarantee restoration of your vehicle to a specific condition (e.g., “Showroom New”).
2. Health and Safety
a. You must inform us of any potential health or safety hazards within your vehicle (including, but not limited to, flammable materials, toxic substances, or structural issues) before service begins.
b. You assume responsibility for any health or safety issues arising from undisclosed hazards. If, upon arrival, your vehicle is determined to pose a risk, the full service fee will be charged regardless of whether the service is performed.
3. Preparation for Detailing
