I’ve heard of some people getting their car detailed every two or three months and others say once a year. How often should I be getting my car detailed?

It is recommended that you get your car professionally detailed at least once a year, but many experts say having it done every six months is a better way to keep your car in peak condition and avoid potential issues in the future. If you are looking to
sell a car
, you should absolutely get it professionally detailed before showing it to buyers.
Having your car detailed typically ranges from $100 to $150 for an average-sized car and should be added to the list of routine services you have performed on your vehicle.
Another part of vehicle ownership that is often overlooked, and should be done on a routine schedule, is to review your car insurance policy and compare rates often. An easy way to compare quotes from up to 50+ car insurance companies is to download the
