Questions

Straight answers

How much does a detail cost?

It depends on the vehicle and its condition. A clean daily driver is not the same job as a truck that has gone twenty years without a wash. Call, describe the vehicle, and we will quote it.

Do you come to me?

No. We work out of the shop on San Fernando Road in Sylmar, where all of our equipment is. Bring the vehicle to us.

Do I need an appointment?

Call before you come. That way we know how long your vehicle will take and can tell you when to bring it in.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. We are a family run Sylmar shop. Call and we will take care of you in Spanish.

My car is really bad. Will you still take it?

Those are our favorites. We have taken on vehicles that had gone more than twenty years without a wash. Bring it in.

Stop looking at photos. Bring the car in.
