SOME OF THIS ISN'T OUR TRADE. WHEN IT ISN'T, WE'LL POINT YOU AT SOMEONE WHOSE TRADE IT IS.

THE PROBLEM

The ThingNobody Quotes For.

Every car has one. The engine bay that has never been touched in eight years. A smell you can't place. Trim that has gone chalky grey. Pet hair in places a vacuum has no answer for. Salt packed up underneath after February. None of it appears on a standard menu, so most shops either refuse it or quietly fold it into a package and rush it.

OUR PROCESS

The Same Four Stages.Every Time.

Every vehicle moves through the same four stages, in the same order. Only stage three changes with the service.

  1. 01

    Inspection & Preparation

    Paint depth, defect mapping, and a full decontamination wash. We find what the last shop covered up.

  2. 02

    Deep Clean & Correction

    Multi-stage machine correction removes swirls, scratches, and oxidation. Interiors are stripped, extracted, and conditioned.

  3. 03

    Protection & Finishing

    Whatever was treated gets protected appropriately: UV dressing on engine bay plastics and trim, sealant on restored lenses, fabric protectant on extracted surfaces. Protection matched to the surface, never a single product across everything.

  4. 04

    Final Quality Check

    Inspected under dedicated lighting before your keys come back. If it isn't right, it doesn't leave.

The stage that changes is stage three. Everything else is fixed.

THE HONEST ANSWER

Can You JustTake Care Of It?

Ask, and you'll get a straight answer. If it's a detailing problem, we'll quote it. If it isn't, we'll tell you what trade it belongs to and point you at someone who does it properly.

Bodywork and paint repair, upholstery and trim repair, glass replacement and anything mechanical are not what we do. We're good at cleaning, correcting and protecting; we are not a body shop, and pretending otherwise would cost you money and time.

Send photos when you ask. Most of these jobs are impossible to quote sight unseen, and a couple of photos usually turns a guess into a number.

We don't do bodywork, upholstery repair or glass. Saying so costs us the job and keeps your trust.

QUESTIONS

The Things PeopleActually Ask.

Yes. Most are booked alongside a detail because the vehicle is already here, but engine bay cleaning, odor treatment and light restoration all run as standalone jobs.

Yes, when it's done carefully. Sensitive components are covered, pressure is controlled and nothing is flooded. It's a slow job done by hand rather than a pressure washer pointed into a bay.

Usually, if the source is still in the vehicle and can be reached. We locate and treat the source rather than fragrancing over it. Smoke that has soaked into a headliner and carpet backing over years is the hard case, and we'll be honest about the odds before you book.

No. Bodywork, paint repair, upholstery and trim repair, and glass replacement are other trades. Ask us anyway and we'll tell you who to speak to, because sending you to the right place is worth more to us than taking the booking.

Yes, and in this climate it's one of the more useful things you can do in March. Salt sits in the seams and wheel wells long after the roads are clear.

On the vehicle, after we see it. Condition drives the time, and time drives the number, so a list price would either overcharge half of you or undercharge the rest. Photos get you an accurate estimate before you commit.
