CAR DETAILING · MARRICKVILLE
Tempe Collision Care provides professional auto detailing and paint correction services from the Marrickville workshop, serving drivers across Sydney's Inner West. From thorough interior cleaning to full exterior paint correction, every detail job is handled by experienced technicians using professional-grade products.
Every detailing job at Tempe Collision Care starts with a vehicle assessment to identify paintwork condition, interior soiling levels, and any surface defects requiring correction. Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation using professional machine polishing equipment, restoring clarity and depth to the paintwork. Interior detailing covers thorough vacuuming, surface cleaning, upholstery treatment, and glass work throughout the cabin.

Professional detailing at Tempe Collision Care covers both interior and exterior work. Interior detailing includes thorough vacuuming, dashboard and console cleaning, door trim wipe-down, upholstery treatment, and interior glass cleaning. Exterior work includes a full wash, paint decontamination, and protective sealant application. Paint correction using machine polishing is available for vehicles with swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, or oxidation. An engine bay clean is also available as an add-on or as part of a full detail package. Every job starts with a condition assessment to confirm scope before work begins.
Timeframes depend on the service selected and the condition of the vehicle. A full interior detail typically takes three to five hours. A professional full detail combining interior and exterior work usually takes a full day. Paint correction timeframes vary based on paint condition and the level of correction required, ranging from a few hours for light correction to a full day or more for multi-stage correction on heavily marked paintwork. A pre-sale detail package covering interior, exterior, paint correction, and engine bay clean is usually completed within one to two days. Accurate timeframes are confirmed during the free consultation after the vehicle condition is assessed.
Detailing services are available for passenger cars, SUVs, light commercial vans, and small business fleet vehicles across Sydney's Inner West. Both Australian and international makes are serviced, including European, Japanese, Korean, and American vehicles. For fleet clients, scheduled detailing programs can be arranged to keep multiple vehicles maintained on a regular basis, with coordination managed directly through the Marrickville workshop. Larger vehicles such as trucks or heavy commercial vehicles fall outside the standard detailing scope and would require an initial consultation to confirm feasibility.
No. A regular polish typically refers to applying a finishing polish or wax by hand to add shine and minor surface gloss. Paint correction is a more involved process using a machine polisher with cutting compounds and polishing pads to physically remove a microscopic layer of clear coat, eliminating swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. The result is a significantly cleaner, clearer finish than a standard hand polish can achieve. Paint correction is recommended for vehicles with visible swirl marks under direct light, faded paintwork, or paintwork that has lost depth and clarity over time.
Yes. Tempe Collision Care provides detailing services for small business fleet vehicles across Sydney's Inner West. Fleet clients can arrange scheduled interior and exterior detailing programs to keep vehicles maintained on a regular basis. Scheduling is coordinated to minimise operational downtime, with vehicles returned promptly and in consistent condition. Pricing for fleet detailing is structured around vehicle count, service frequency, and selected service package, with itemised invoicing suitable for business accounting. Fleet enquiries are handled through the same free consultation process as individual jobs.
No special preparation is required before bringing a vehicle in for detailing. Removing personal belongings from the interior beforehand is helpful to allow full access to all surfaces during the interior detail. Vehicles do not need to be pre-washed before arrival as exterior washing is included in all exterior and full detail packages. If there are specific areas of concern, such as heavy staining, paint defects, or odour issues, noting these at the time of booking helps the team address them during the condition assessment. Vehicles can be dropped off at the Marrickville workshop at B/6 Carrington Rd.
