Pickups and work trucks — including the bed, the running boards and the heavy soil a car never sees.
Trucks get dirty differently. A pickup used for work carries construction dust, mulch, tools, fuel cans and lumber, and the bed takes abuse no passenger vehicle sees. Even a truck used purely as a daily driver has more exterior surface, more chrome, higher panels and running boards that collect everything kicked up from the road.
The interior tends toward one of two extremes: nearly untouched on a lifestyle truck, or genuinely heavy on a work truck — plaster dust, sawdust, adhesive, hardened mud in the driver footwell and grease on every touch point. We price for which one you have.
Bed cleaning is its own job. Spray-in liners hold ground-in dirt in the texture and need agitation to release it. Drop-in plastic liners have to come out to reach the debris and standing water underneath, which is a common rust point. Bare painted beds get decontamination and protection, since they rust from scratches down to metal.
Tailgate seams, the bed rail caps, tie-down pockets and the area under a tonneau cover all collect material. On a truck being sold, a clean bed changes the impression more than almost anything else, because buyers read a beaten bed as a hard life.
Running boards and rocker panels take the heaviest salt and road spray and are where corrosion starts on Long Island trucks. Wheel wells and the frame get attention on a full service. Chrome bumpers, grilles, mirror caps and step bars need metal polish rather than paint products — chrome that has started pitting can be improved but not reversed.
Lifted trucks and larger wheels take more time on wheels and barrels, and the extra ride height means more of the underside is visible, so it gets included on a presentation detail.
For contractors, a recurring plan makes more sense than a rescue detail once a year. A monthly or quarterly service keeps a work truck from ever reaching the state where the interior needs hours of remediation, and a clean truck arriving at a customer's house in Hewlett or Woodmere is worth something commercially.
We schedule fleet and work vehicle service around your operating hours, including evenings and weekends, so the truck is not off the road during earning time.
We are based on Erick Ave in Hewlett, just off Broadway and a few minutes from the Hewlett LIRR station. Rug drop-offs and pickups are by appointment — call before you come by.
