Default Price for Detailing?

My Acura dealer is offering a "detailing special" right now, and I'm wondering if it is a good deal. I need to get my car detailed, and I was down there picking up new floor mats when I asked about it. They usually charge about $160, but the special is $99 and the cashier said that she got her car done and she expected them to do a "good job" but they did a "very very good job". It includes such suprises as engine bay cleaning. Is that a good price for a complete detailing? The dealer is about 25 minutes away, and I can get it done local by a private detailing shop for the same price. Do all shops do a "very very good job"?

Thanks,
Ben

I've been thinking about getting this done myself... I still clean my car, engine bay and all but there are some things you just need pros to do. For 99 bucks I say hit it...

$99 is a good price if they do everything - wash/wax/interior/engine
I detailed cars in the past and I would never do everything for a price less than $99. I guess it all depends on much time they spend and the quality of work they do.
