Answer three quick questions. See your exact restoration price and how much you save vs. replacement.
What are you driving?
Your price is set by vehicle type and year — that's it.
Short answer
Mobile headlight restoration in the Denver metro costs $80–$150 for both headlights. Sedans and cars are $80 for 2013 or older and $100 for 2014 or newer; trucks are $100 and $150 respectively. Fog light restoration adds $10 for both. Lens condition never changes your price. Replacing one modern headlight assembly instead runs $250 to well over $2,000, so restoring both lenses usually costs less than 20% of a single replacement.

How much does headlight restoration cost in Denver?
Both headlights run $80–$150 depending on vehicle type and year: sedans and cars are $80 for 2013 or older and $100 for 2014 or newer; trucks are $100 and $150. Fog light restoration adds $10 for both. Lens condition never changes the price — use the calculator on this page for your exact total.
Is headlight restoration cheaper than replacement?
Almost always. A single OEM assembly runs $250 on an older economy car and well past $2,000 on a modern matrix-LED luxury vehicle. Restoring both lenses typically costs less than 20% of replacing one.
Do you charge extra to come to me?
No. Mobile service inside 35 miles of Commerce City is included in the quoted price. We bring our own power and water — we only need a flat place to park.
Does the price change if only one headlight is bad?
Yes, single-lens pricing is lower. We do recommend doing both so the pair matches and ages at the same rate.
Do you take card, cash or Apple Pay?
All three, on site, after you've seen the finished lenses.
Is there a fee if restoration can't fix my lens?
No. If we find a crack or moisture inside the housing, we tell you before starting and there's no charge.
Pricing questions
What exactly is included in the quoted price?
+
Multi-stage wet sanding (800 through 3000 grit), machine compounding and polishing, lens decontamination, and a ceramic UV sealant rated for up to three years — plus the 1-year re-restoration guarantee and mobile travel inside our service radius.
Why is my quote different from my neighbor's?
+
Two things move the number: vehicle type (sedan vs. truck) and model year (2013 or older vs. 2014 or newer). Fog light restoration adds $10. Condition never changes the price.
Will restoration pass a Colorado emissions or safety check?
+
Colorado requires functional head lamps under state vehicle lighting law. Restoration improves output and clarity; it does not change bulbs, wiring or aim, so a vehicle that was otherwise compliant stays compliant.
How long before I can drive or wash the car?
+
Drive immediately. Wait 24 hours before a pressure wash or automated car wash so the sealant fully cures.
Do you service fleets or multiple vehicles?
+
Yes — multi-vehicle work at one address is priced per vehicle with a volume discount. Call (303) 514-8037 with your count and we'll quote it.
What if the haze comes back?
+
Inside 12 months we come back and re-restore at no charge. That's what the 1-year guarantee covers.
