Questions, answered plainly.
The things people ask us most — where we work, what it costs, how long it takes, and how we look after EVs and prestige paint. No jargon, no sales spin. If your question isn't here, message us and one of us will answer it personally.
Where we work, and how it runs.
Do you come to me?
Yes — Cura Studio is fully mobile. We detail your car in your own driveway across the Eastern Suburbs and Inner West, with you nearby. All we need is a flat spot with a little shade. You never drop your car at a busy carwash among strangers. See mobile detailing.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Bondi, Bronte, Vaucluse, Double Bay, Rose Bay, Woollahra, Bellevue Hill, Paddington, Coogee and Randwick across the Eastern Suburbs — and into the Inner West including Balmain and Newtown. If you're nearby and not listed, just ask.
How long does a detail take?
A Refresh is usually 1.5–2.5 hours, the Signature around half a day, and a one-step paint correction a full day. We give you a realistic window when we confirm the booking so you can plan your day.
How do I book?
Send an enquiry through the website form, message us on WhatsApp, email curastudioco@gmail.com, or reach us on Instagram at @curastudioau. Levi or Drew replies personally within a day — you'll always be dealing with one of the owners.
What we do, and how we do it.
What's the difference between a detail and paint correction?
A detail cleans and protects — decontamination, a sealant, a deep interior. Paint correction goes further, machine-polishing the paint itself to remove swirls and wash marks and bring back gloss, then sealing it. Most cars start with a detail and add correction only if the paint needs it.
Do you offer ceramic coating or paint protection film?
Not yet. We focus on detailing and one-step correction done properly rather than overselling protection you may not need. Multi-stage correction and ceramic are planned — and we're happy to give honest advice on whether they're right for your car in the meantime.
Can you detail an electric car or Tesla?
Yes — EVs and Teslas are a big part of what we do. We keep the charge port closed and dry, clean sensors and cameras by hand, and treat the soft factory paint many EVs carry with extra care. No pressure-washing where it doesn't belong.
Do you specialise in particular cars?
We care for European prestige, Teslas and EVs, JDM and Japanese performance cars, and classic and muscle cars. Each has its own paint and quirks — we read the car in front of us rather than running every car through the same routine.
What it costs, and why.
How much does car detailing cost?
The Refresh from $180, the Signature full detail from $390, and one-step paint correction from $690. Every price is a starting point, confirmed against your car and its condition before we begin. See it all on the pricing page.
Why is every price a 'from' price?
Because no two cars arrive in the same condition. The from-price is the honest start for a car in good order; size, condition and what the paint and interior need decide the rest. We confirm the figure with you before any work begins — never a surprise on the day.
Is there a membership?
Yes — the Keepers' Programme is scheduled care for the cars we see often, from $140 a month: priority dates, a kept record of every visit, and members' rates. It's the calm way to keep a car right all year. See pricing.
Who actually does the work?
Levi or Drew — the founders — every time. Cura Studio is two people, not a franchise, so the hands that quote your car are the hands that look after it. More about us.
