What Ocala drivers say
4.9 out of 5 from 85 reviews on Google.
I cannot thank Jay and his wife enough on the amazing job they did on my car. It was covered with a foreign substance that adhered to the paint. At less than 12,000 miles on it, I thought it was going to need to be stripped and repainted. Performance Mobile Detailing saved the day. When they finished, it was better than showroom condition. Highly recommend them!
I usually detail my own car but wanted to try the professional avenue and wow, I’m glad I did. Jay and Sierra did an incredible job and great communication. When I say the interior looks brand new, I mean it! Highly recommended
Made the appointment with Jay which was easy and hassle free. We are very impressed with the quality of work on the minivan that they cleaned from top to bottom, inside and out. When they arrived, the vehicle had not been maintained for several years. Now, it is showroom ready!!! Looks and smells fantastic! We are grateful and will be seeing them again in the future!

About Engine Bay Cleaning
Common questions and tips from our work with Ocala customers.
How should I prepare my engine for cleaning?
Not much is needed on your end. Park on a surface where runoff is acceptable, let the engine cool at least an hour so heat does not flash-dry degreaser, and pop the hood if you can. If you know of a loose battery terminal or an aftermarket accessory, mention it when you book. We handle the rest, including covering sensitive components before any water goes near the bay.
Will water hurt my alternator or electronics?
Not when the bay is done correctly. We cover the alternator, air intake, fuse box, and exposed connectors before rinsing, then use a gentle spray instead of a high-pressure blast. Modern engines are built to handle rain, so a controlled low-pressure rinse with proper prep is safe. What causes trouble is forcing water into connectors, which is exactly what our process avoids.
Can a clean engine bay help with repairs?
It can. A degreased bay makes fresh oil or coolant leaks obvious instead of hidden under baked-on grime, and technicians can trace hoses and wiring without scraping through grease. If your car is due for a battery load test or a look at the serpentine belt, a clean compartment makes those checks faster and more accurate.
Degreaser needs dwell time to work
Grease in an engine bay is not rinsed off, it is loosened. A quality degreaser needs several minutes of dwell time to break down oil and road film before any rinse. Rushing that step is why DIY engine cleaning often leaves a gray film behind. We let the product work, agitate the heavy spots by hand, then rinse with low pressure for an even finish.
Good to know before we roll up
How much does mobile detailing cost in Ocala?
Price depends on your vehicle's size and condition. A maintained car needs less work than one that hasn't been cleaned in years, so we quote based on what we see. Call (352) 789-0375 or send photos of your vehicle and we'll give you a straight number before we roll out.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Every quote is free and there's no obligation. Text or call us with your vehicle's year, make, and model, plus what you want done (interior, exterior, or both), and we'll tell you exactly what it costs. What we quote is what you pay.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Ocala and come to you anywhere in Marion County, including Belleview, Summerfield, The Villages, Dunnellon, Silver Springs, Citra, and the surrounding towns. If you're close by and unsure whether you're in range, just ask.
Are you open nights and weekends?
Yes. We're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That means early mornings before work, evenings after you're home, and weekends. You pick the time that fits your schedule and we show up with everything we need.
Do you handle emergency or after-hours detailing?
We do. Spilled something before a big meeting, or need a vehicle turned around overnight before a trip? Call (352) 789-0375 any hour and we'll work with you. After-hours jobs are one of the reasons we operate around the clock.
Do I need to provide water or electricity?
No. We bring our own water and power, so your driveway, office parking lot, or storage facility works fine. All you provide is the vehicle and a spot where we can work.
Are you licensed and insured?
We're an established local business operating out of Ocala. Mobile auto detailing isn't a state-licensed trade in Florida, but if you'd like proof of insurance or any documentation for your records, just ask when you book and we'll gladly provide it.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is due when the job is finished and you've had a look at the results. We accept common payment methods including cash and cards. If you have a specific preference, mention it when you book and we'll sort it out ahead of time.
What if I'm not happy with the results?
We don't leave until the job is right. We walk the vehicle with you at the end, and if anything was missed, we fix it on the spot. That's how we've built our reputation in Ocala, one careful job at a time.
Can you remove pet hair and bad odors from my car?
Yes, those are two of our most requested services. Pet hair removal involves thorough extraction from carpet, seats, and headliners. For odors, we track down the source (spills, mildew, smoke) and treat it rather than just masking the smell. Heavily embedded pet hair or deep-set odors may need extra time, which we'll flag in your quote.
How long does a full detail take?
Most full detail packages take a few hours, depending on the vehicle's size and condition. A neglected interior that hasn't been touched in years takes longer than a car that's cleaned regularly. We take the time the job deserves rather than rushing, and we'll give you a time estimate when you book.
Do you detail boats and RVs?
Yes. We handle boats and RVs across Marion County, both at your home and at storage facilities or marinas. These are bigger jobs than a car, so reach out with your vessel's size and condition for a free quote.
