Car Detailing in Scituate, RI
Rubino Auto Detailing is a father-and-son shop at 147 Snake Hill Road in the village of North Scituate. If you live in Scituate or one of the villages around it, this is your local shop for car and auto detailing, paint correction, ceramic coatings, headlight restoration and interior work. Every vehicle is finished here, by hand, with on-site parking and online booking.
A detail shop that is on your way, not a trip
The shop is on Snake Hill Road in North Scituate, a short drive from Greenville, Harmony, Chepachet and Foster, and a few minutes from the busier part of Smithfield. For Scituate and the villages around it, the shop is close enough to work into an ordinary day rather than a drive across the county.
Being local changes how you use a detailer. You can drop the car on the way to work and collect it on the way home. A full detail that takes most of the day does not mean a lost day, and a two-day paint correction or ceramic coating job is easy to plan around when the shop is close.
The work itself is the same whoever you are: one vehicle at a time, washed, corrected and protected by hand, with a walkaround inspection at drop-off so we both know the condition of the car before anything starts.
Detailing services at the North Scituate shop
Starting prices below are for a coupe or sedan in average condition. SUVs and pickups price higher, and the booking tool shows the exact figure for your vehicle before you commit.
Full interior and exterior detailing
Hand wash, wheels and tires, door jambs, glass inside and out, compressor blowout and vacuum, steam cleaning through the dash and console, leather cleaned and protected, and protectant applied throughout. Full detail from $250, or the exterior alone from $125. Express exterior and interior details from $30 keep a maintained car looking right between full details.
Interior detailing
Compressor blowout, steam through the dash and console, leather cleaned and protected, mats scrubbed, and shampoo and extraction from $75 for the salt stains, pet hair and spills that a Rhode Island winter leaves behind. Interior detail from $150.
Paint correction
One, two and three step correction from $500 to remove swirls, scratches and defects. Paint is measured with an electronic gauge first, and if an area is too thin to correct safely you get photos and a gauge reading before we go any further.
Ceramic coatings
Coatings for paint, trim, glass and wheels. Long-term protection and far easier cleaning through a New England winter. Window and trim coatings from $100, wheels from $125, and paint coating quoted for your vehicle.
Headlight restoration
Lenses sanded through 600, 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 grit to take out the yellowing and clear coat cracking, then finished with a true 2K automotive clear coat rather than a wipe-on sealant. $200, about an hour.
Tint removal and trim restoration
Old, purple, bubbling or non-compliant window film removed with controlled heat so the rear defroster lines come through intact, quoted per vehicle. Faded gray exterior plastic brought back to black with trim restoration, $100.
How long your car is with us
An express detail is a short appointment, about twenty minutes. A full interior and exterior detail takes most of a day. Paint correction and ceramic coating often run two days or longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline when we quote the job, not after you have dropped the car. For the longer jobs the car can stay overnight when that is arranged at booking.
Drop-off is simple when you are local. Take your personal belongings out of the car before you arrive, bring a working set of keys, and allow a few minutes for the walkaround inspection, where we note any existing scratches or dents together. We let you know when the car is ready and ask for pick-up within two hours of that notice unless you have arranged otherwise. Payment is due at pick-up by card, cash or check. The full vehicle drop-off policy covers the rest.
