Why the price changes by vehicle size

A three-row SUV or a pickup has far more paint, glass and carpet than a compact sedan. Shops that quote one flat price either overcharge small cars or rush big ones. Pricing by size keeps it fair both ways.

Is a cheap detail worth it?

A $60 “detail” is usually a wash and vacuum. That is fine for maintenance. It is not the same as shampoo extraction, clay, polish and sealant, and it will not remove salt from your carpet. Ask any shop what exactly is included and how long it takes; time on the car is the honest measure.
