A professional vehicle detail at Aufbereitungscenter AC Luzern in Kriens takes between four and ten hours, depending on the package chosen, the vehicle class and how dirty the car is. The exact duration depends on several factors, which we communicate to you transparently in advance so you can plan your day accordingly.

Package S (Standard full cleaning) takes about four and a half hours for a small car, roughly five and a half hours for a sedan or estate, about five and a half hours for an SUV as well, and up to seven and a half hours for a van or seven-seater. Package M (Intensive full cleaning) takes six and a half hours for small cars, seven and a half hours for sedans and estates, seven and a half hours for SUVs as well, and up to nine and a half hours for vans.

With heavy soiling from stubborn stains, strong odors, pet hair or construction-site grime, processing times can extend by up to two hours, since we need to work especially thoroughly. With light soiling and regular upkeep, the times are correspondingly shorter, by around thirty minutes. You'll receive an exact time estimate for your specific vehicle at online booking, based on the details you provide.

Throughout the entire detail, your vehicle is kept safe inside our enclosed workshop at Sternmatt 9 in Kriens. You can drop your vehicle off with us on the morning of your chosen appointment.

For customers who would rather not bring their vehicle in themselves, we offer a pickup service in the surrounding area by individual arrangement.

The difference between a regular car wash and a professional car detail at Aufbereitungscenter AC Luzern lies in the thoroughness, the products used, the time invested and the end result. A car wash is a quick surface clean, while a car detail is a comprehensive care process that preserves the vehicle's value.

A regular car wash takes about fifteen to thirty minutes and removes surface dirt, dust and light grime. It uses standard cleaning agents and only treats the exterior surfaces. The price is typically between CHF 20 and CHF 50. A car wash is suitable for regular upkeep between more intensive cleans.

A professional car detail with us in Kriens takes four to ten hours and includes thorough cleaning of the interior and exterior, care for every material — leather, plastic, rubber and metal — removal of stubborn dirt, stains and odors, and protection or sealing of surfaces. We work exclusively with professional products from brands such as Koch Chemie, Rupes, Gyeon and Sonax, which are considered the industry standard in professional vehicle detailing.

The result of a detail is far more visible: the paint regains its original shine, interior materials are conditioned and protected, unpleasant odors are neutralized rather than just masked, and the whole vehicle looks like new again. We recommend a detail once or twice a year, or before selling a car or returning a lease vehicle, to maintain or increase its value.

How often you need a professional car detail at Aufbereitungscenter AC Luzern depends on how the vehicle is used, environmental conditions, and your personal standards for cleanliness and care. As a general recommendation, once or twice a year is right for private vehicles, with more frequent details for heavily used vehicles.

For private vehicles driven daily, we recommend a full cleaning (Package M or L) once a year, complemented by a smaller refresh (Package S) after six months. This keeps the vehicle in optimal condition, protects materials from premature wear, and preserves resale value. For vehicles mainly used on weekends or only occasionally, a detail every eighteen to twenty-four months is sufficient.

For business vehicles and company fleets that see heavy daily use, we recommend a detail every four to six months. High-mileage drivers who spend a lot of time on motorways experience heavier soiling from insects, brake dust and road grime, which calls for more frequent cleaning. Vehicles regularly used with children or pets also benefit from more frequent details for odor control and thorough interior cleaning.

Other good occasions for a professional detail include the change of seasons (especially in spring after winter road salt and grime), before selling a car to increase its value, before a lease return to avoid return charges, or after special events such as transporting animals, construction-site trips, or longer holiday journeys.
