A little bit about us…


Growing up, I didn’t have much experience with cars. I didn’t work in a body shop. I didn’t work as a mechanic. And I didn’t have years of experience in the automotive industry. If you would have asked me when I was younger what I knew about cars, your jaw would have dropped at how little I knew. That just wasn’t what I was knowledgeable about.

Many detailers today, especially those who have been in the industry for 10-20 years, had a passion for cars growing up, which they eventually used to start up their detailing business. Not me.

When I was in college, I didn’t even know detailing was a thing. Not until a friend of mine recommended that if I was looking to get my car detailed, he knew a guy.

A little bit curious about what detailing was, I ended up taking my car to this guy and getting it detailed for the first time. And man… did I love it. I was so in awe of how he was able to take my car in the condition it was in and transform it into something that looked and felt new to me.

At that time, it never hit me that I could make a career out of detailing. It never really crossed my mind that this is something that people both want & need.

When I first moved to Alabama several years ago, I was a little bit unsure of what I wanted to do as a career. I knew I was very detail oriented, organized, and analytical, but I could not find a job that I liked and required those things.

My passion has always been to help people. But finding a way to do that as a career… that was the hard part.

Then one day it hit me. Detailing. I had flashbacks to when I was in college and had gotten my car detailed by that guy. I still knew nothing about it, but I already knew it would fit me based on who I was.

So I decided to take the leap and start my own detailing business, and well, here we are years later.

So no, I don’t have a ton of experience in the automotive industry. I don’t have 10+ years under my belt of detailing. But what I have done since day one is pour myself into this career.

I’ve invested hundreds of hours in trainings, both in person and online.

Every day, I continue to look for ways to improve and expand my skillset.

And anyone who knows me, knows, that detailing is on my mind far often than I’d like to admit.

So now that you know how I got into this space, what can you expect from us as a company should you decide book with us?

  1. A price that won’t break the bank.

  2. A clear expectation of what is and is not possible with your vehicle.

  3. An on-time service with convenient rescheduling.

  4. Top-tier results regardless of the service you choose.

Along with that, you’ll have someone who you can trust, and depend on, to take the best possible care of your vehicle.

We’re extremely grateful to be able to serve each and every one of you. And we look forward to continue serving you all down the road.
