Shipping Your Vehicle Outside of Alaska
Shipping your vehicle outside of Alaska can be a challenge if it's your first time doing it, and you have no clue where to start. First, you have to have all your documents in place, contact your local shipping company, and make sure you take all your personal belongings from your vehicle (except for things your car may need like a jack, extra tire, jumping cables, and more). Still, most importantly, your vehicle needs to be cleaned inside out.
Are you a military member going through a permanent change of station (PCS) move? Get your vehicle detailed.
Are you moving to another country because of your job? Get your Vehicle detailed.
Just want to have your vehicle look like new when you arrive in your new city? Get your vehicle detailed.
Why does my vehicle need to be cleaned before shipping?Â
If you're shipping your vehicle overseas it needs to be sparkly clean. Your shipping company will inspect your vehicle inside out.
The exterior of your vehicle needs to be cleaned before you bring it to the shipping company. Getting your Auto Detailed allows them to inspect for pre-existing damage, anything missing, dirt, mud, falling pieces, etc.
The interior of your vehicle needs to be cleaned before being brought to the shipping company too. The inspection will be looking for dirt, trash, items left, and smells.
Get your vehicle detailed before shipping it
Here at Anchorage Auto Detail we will detail your vehicle inside out and have it ready for shipping!
We will pressure wash the outside of your vehicle including your tires, and wheel wells. Tires and rims, will be nice and cleaned, free of mud and debris. We'll try to remove most of your road tar and mosquito buildup, and will also wax your vehicle to protect it from the trip.
We'll vacuum your vehicle at least twice to make sure all dirt, trash, and debris are nonexistent in your vehicle. We will steam clean your seats and carpet resulting in your vehicle looking, and smelling good. The dash and all plastics inside your vehicle will be cleaned and sanitized and all the glass will be cleaned inside out.
Overall, having your vehicle detailed before shipping it outside of Alaska not only is highly recommended, (in some companies required) for you to be able to ship your vehicle with them, but it also gives you the peace of mind that your vehicle will not be returned from the Shipping company because is dirty.
We've had customers come into our shop saying they need to get their friend's vehicle detailed because they were turned down by their shipping company. Don't let that be you!
You'll have a new looking vehicle when it arrives

FAQ
Why get your vehicle detailed?
Your vehicle gets extra dirty in the Wintertime. Detailing your vehicle in the Wintertime can keep the value of it high. Not to mention, it looks and smells great!Â
We get many customers, including our Military members, moving out of state who need their vehicles shipped. Shipping companies require your vehicle to be in clean mint condition if you plan to ship it with them. Let us detail your vehicle, bring your receipt to the shipping company, and you won't have to worry about getting turned down.Â
When detailing your vehicle you might as well get the full detail service. This includes detailing your vehicle inside out, top to bottom. Not to mention, you get a better deal if you book a full detail as opposed to detailing either the interior or exterior separately. Ask for the 'Steam Engine Clean' as an add-on.
The short answer is, no. We don't have enough space to work on RVs in our shop at the moment.Â
Prices vary depending on the type of service your vehicle requires. You can find our interior, exterior, full detail, and add-on services in our 'Services' tab here on our website.Â
Quite often we get cars that smell like cigarettes, marijuana, mold, blood, spoiled milk, vomit, oils, and even dead animals. You name it, we've seen it all. We recommend that you schedule at the very least an interior detail for your vehicle and highly recommend the 'Air Ionizing' treatment add-on.Â
If you're planning to sell your vehicle we recommend that you get a full detail at Anchorage Auto Detail. This includes detailing the interior and exterior of your vehicle. This detailed service will leave your vehicle looking like new, or in older models, it will look a lot better than what it did before we worked on it. Either way, you will be able to sell your vehicle at top prices.
P.S. We recommend getting the 'Engine Steam Wash' add-on to your package to make sure everything in your vehicle looks like new.Â
We do not have a motorcycle detail package at the moment. However, ask us that question in the Summer time! We might be able to get it done :)Â
