What to compare
We found useful shop prices and examples of salt removal, but the review evidence varied by service. Many accounts described exterior work, self-serve washing, tire sales or other jobs. The available reviews and comparable terms did not support ranked scores.
Light salt in carpet
Splash & Dash lists Interior Plus from $139 with carpet shampoo. Detail My Ride lists Interior Plus at $149 with carpet and seat shampoo. Both describe light salt removal. Splash & Dash estimates an extra $50 for heavy salt.
Caked winter salt
Vapour Auto lists a $199.99 Standard Interior package with salt removal and a separate $30-per-area add-on for caked residue. Ask how your photos would affect the total.
Carpet shampoo in a combined package
Sipan lists $249 for Platinum Plus on cars, including carpet shampoo, salt removal and exterior work. Ask about the total if you only want the interior done.
Questions to ask
“Hi, I’m looking for an in-shop interior detail for a [year, make and model] sedan. I can send photos of the salt on the mats and carpet. Which package covers it, and what is the total including HST and any salt surcharge? Do you shampoo or extract the carpets? How long will you need the car, is there a deposit, and what happens if salt is still visible after drying?”
