Headlight Restoration Service Near Me — What to Expect
Mobile service across the Denver metro · Both headlights $100–$175 · Large headlights needing clearcoat removal $150–$175 · One headlight $50–$60 · 30–60 minutes
Professional-Grade Protective Clearcoat Included · 3-Year Warranty
There are three kinds of headlight restoration service near you: a detail shop you drive to, a dealership that will usually quote you a new assembly, and a mobile service that comes to the car. We are the third kind.
This page is about how to tell those apart, because the price differences look bigger than they are once you factor in whether a UV sealant is included and whether the result is guaranteed.
Car headlight restoration is entirely exterior surface work, so nothing about a shop bay makes the result better. What matters is the process and the sealant.

Five questions to ask any service before you book
- Do you apply a UV sealant or clear coat at the end? If the answer is vague, you are buying a polish.
- How long is the work guaranteed? We include a 3-year warranty.
- How many sanding stages do you use? Skipping grits is what leaves a milky finish.
- Do you come to me, and is there a travel fee? Ours is zero inside 35 miles of Commerce City.
- What happens if my lens is cracked or has moisture inside? An honest service tells you restoration is the wrong fix rather than taking the money.

People also ask
Are headlight restoration services worth it?
Yes when a UV sealant is included; a polish-only service re-yellows within months.
Do car washes restore headlights?
No. A wash removes grime; it cannot touch oxidation inside the plastic.
How do I choose a headlight restoration company?
Ask about the sealant and the guarantee. Those two answers separate lasting work from a temporary shine.
Frequently asked questions

How much does a headlight restoration service cost?

30 to 60 minutes per vehicle, on site.
How long do the results last?
+
Typically 3–5 years with the protective clearcoat, and if the lenses haze within 3 years we re-restore them free.

Yes — office lots, apartment complexes and parking garages are all normal for us. Covered parking is ideal in summer.
Do you service trucks, SUVs and fleets?
+
Yes, from 1990s halogen housings to current LED assemblies, including multi-vehicle fleet visits priced per appointment.
What if it rains on my appointment day?

The lens has to be dry to sand and seal, so we reschedule at no charge unless you have covered parking.
