01 / Money and appointments
Booking & Payment
A booking reserves time and the right equipment for your vehicle. Prices are confirmed against the vehicle's actual condition before work starts.
02
Deposit over £100
Bookings priced above £100 require a deposit. The amount and due date are stated when your appointment is arranged.
03
Pay on completion
Full payment is due when the work is complete unless another arrangement has been agreed in writing.
Vehicle condition affects the price. Heavy soil, pet hair, stains, neglected paint, excessive contamination or additional correction work may change the estimate. We will discuss material changes before carrying out extra work.

Cancellation &
Cancellation &
Rescheduling
Time matters on both sides. Give us a clear notice and we can offer the slot to another customer.
- Give 24 hours' notice. Cancellations or changes made at least 24 hours before the appointment avoid a late cancellation charge.
- Late changes may cost 50%. A cancellation or missed appointment with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a charge of 50% of the booked service price.
- Weather can alter plans. We may reschedule exterior work when rain, frost, strong wind or unsafe conditions would affect the finish or safe working conditions.
03 / Care, defects and finish
Liability & Warranty
We work carefully. A detail cannot reverse damage that was already present.
Tell us what we need to know
Garside's Detailing Works takes reasonable care of every vehicle. We are not liable for pre-existing defects, weakened trim, loose fittings, poor previous repairs, failing lacquer, hidden corrosion or damage caused by the vehicle's condition.
Customers must disclose known paint issues, previous repairs, warning lights, alarms, leaks and fragile parts before work begins.
Ceramic coating warranty
Where a ceramic coating warranty is offered, it covers coating failure under the agreed care conditions and for the stated warranty period.
It does not cover stone chips, scratches, impact, chemical damage, accidents, poor washing technique or physical damage to the paintwork. Warranty support may require an inspection and proof of the recommended maintenance routine.
Inspect the vehicle at handover. Tell us about any concern promptly so we can assess it while the service details are still clear.
