recently had my Genesis GV80 Coupe serviced at American Shine for Full Front PPF, front window tinting, and the Gtechniq Premium Ceramic Coating Package--and I couldn't be happier with the results. I requested a quote online, and got a quick response. Brian and Ali were incredibly helpful, walking me through tint options and recommending additional PPF coverage for better protection. The car looked fantastic when I came for the initial pickup. The technician took time to explain the work, and after talking further with Brian and Ali, I decided to add ceramic coating as well. When we returned for final pickup, the car looked absolutely amazing--spotless, glossy, and well-protected. Highly recommend American Shine for PPF, ceramic coating, and detailing. Excellent service and top-tier results. read more

Brian and the crew @American Shine are outstanding in their work and customer care. I got my Cybertruck Beast wrapped there in Pure PPF Unicorn's Blood. You can do a magnification of my included picture and I defy you to find the SLIGHTEST of imperfection in their work. The pictures were taken almost 3 weeks after the install to demonstrate the superb meticulous care with which they applied the thermoplastic polyurethane protection film. It looks better than a paint job and self heals minor abrasions. I was concerned about the potential bubbling of the wrap and waited till now to ensure there were none. Ok, the job was pristine and exceeded my expectations BUT that wasn't the total story. Customer-centric interface is their premier positive attribute. From first contact to yesterday's final inspection, the team was always there to answer ALL my questions and assure me that I had made both an economical and prudent decision to protect the shell of my Cybertruck even down to the 3D effect of the badges which they installed between the truck surface and the wrap. Very neat and well done. If you are even THINKING if getting your vehicle wrapped, PLEASE do your self a favor you will never regret and stop by American Shine and talk to Brian about it. Note that their webpage does not highlight colored wraps, only clear ones. I had read some great reviews, most notably in the Tesla forums and was sold on American Shine but I wanted a colored wraps. Fortunately, I sent them a note asking if they did color wraps and to my delight Brian's response was a definite and loud YES! In sum, if you are in the DMV area, it is worth you time to make the trip to Sterling. My 23 mile trip was worth my time, yours will be too! read more

if I could've selected zero for this rating, I would have, but unfortunately, I will have to select at least one star. I went to the shop to have tint placed on my panoramic sunroof, and they did a shotty job and had to redo it. I was asked to come back two weekends later, only to find out that Ali had made a decision to remove the tint and not replace it. this decision was made without consulting me, and to my surprise when I went to have the tent, uninstalled and reinstalled, I was told they were only going to uninstall it and provide a refund. One of the employees contacted Ali via phone due to me requesting a copy of the invoice showing a refund for the removal of the job. Ali declined to provide a refund and an invoice showing that the tent had been removed. When I left their shop, the tent had been removed, however, they did not provide me the refund or receipt the refund going back into my account. If my account is not refunded by Monday morning, I will be consulting legal council. I will provide an update after Monday, September 15, 2025. read more

We are back for a second time. Loved the work they did on the SRT two years ago (held up with no major issues) that worked with them to schedule the Raptor as soon as it came off the truck! Brain and team walked it over and got the Raptor started the next day giving it paint correction, protecting it with ceramic and paint protection film. That peace of mind for everyday stuff - until I take her off roading read more

American Shine Detailing - New Truck Package completed by American Shine, straight from the dealer to them for paint correction, PPF and Ceramic coating. - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Amazing operation at American Shine - this is a highly professional company with the proper facilities, equipment, and trained staff to provide the best services around when it comes to detailing, ceramic coating, tint, PPF, etc! If quality and perfect installation is your top concern, don't take your vehicle anywhere else - take it from me and my horror story: I bought a brand-new truck and wanted to get Gtechniq Ultra Serum installed on it right away, so I did some googling and found a detailer closer to my house that offered the product. This detailer had great reviews online but only a handful on Google and Facebook... but since they were local I decided to give them a chance and hope that the few reviews they had were accurate. Long story short, I got my truck back with an absolute horrendous ceramic coating installation - it was shocking how bad it was. I had multiple areas around the truck where the coating was not wiped properly and resulted in cloudiness over top the paint, some as big as softballs (not exaggerating) - then I started looking closely and there were streak marks and swirls everywhere, plus the coating was not applied on every part of the paint as well as the installer got the coating on parts of my truck that shouldn't have had any (my tail light, rubber gaskets, etc). I had a pit in my stomach, having a brand-new truck that looked terrible and the fact that the product is very difficult to remove (9 year coating!). The original installer offered to fix it for free but, after he gave my truck back to me in that condition, I did not trust him to fix it correctly. I ended up looking for the best installer in the DMV and stumbled upon American Shine. I took my truck in and Brian, the owner, looked it over and couldn't believe how poorly the product was applied. He said he can fix it, it'll take way more work than if I had just brought them the truck first since they had to buff out and possibly wet sand off all the high spots before they could even begin... I skeptical and thought no way they are going to get it right but Brian was confident. It ended up costing me way more than it should have, which was no fault of American Shine - I had to pay for the labor to fix the mistakes of the previous installer and then have them re-apply the coating correctly. When I picked up my truck I was blown away, it looked like a showpiece. My paint was a mirror, perfect, amazing reflection, no cloudiness and no scratches or swirl marks. They correctly applied the ceramic coating into every nook and cranny that has paint. They didn't get it on anything that shouldn't have it. They cleaned up all the sloppiness of the first guy and then knocked it out of the park with their install. AMAZING. Seriously, if you care about your car do not go anywhere else!! You know the old saying, buy once cry once... I ended up buying twice, so learn from my mistakes and go to American Shine Detailing first! read more

The team at American Shine Detailing is top notch. I've taken two cars there and the work on both cars was outstanding. From my first call asking for an estimate through the scheduling of service to updates and ultimately pick up the team kept me informed on progress and how it was going. Their attention to detail and quality of work for both the paint protection film and the ceramic coating is evident across the cars. I felt that my cars were in good hands - they are car enthusiasts and it shows. I'd be back again for sure without any concerns or worries. read more

These guys are the best. When I first got my car 2017 I got it coated to protect it and make washing easier. I brought it in last week to refresh the coating (second time) and get the windows tinted. The car is 7 years old and looks better than new. All the little blemishes from seven years of driving in the DMV have been erased. The tint in the side and rear glass is subtle and makes the car so much cooler - just in time for this latest heatwave. The estimate was exact and no surprises. Quality work done to perfection and delivered when promised. These guys are the bomb! read more

Whenever it's the boy's birthday, I pretend like it's my birthday too and engage in whatever festivities we have planned. For my birthday this year, the tables were turned when he bought "us" a new car. And like everything that you purchase brand new, you want to take care of it as best you can so we wanted to get our car coated. We were referred by a friend and we've taken previously another car here to SpeedFreak Detailing and were impressed with the results, so there was no hesitation for us to bring our new car back here. In addition to coating, their services include wash and details, paint correction, and several other a la carte services. Brian is meticulous and detailed in his work, and we were pleased with the end result. The turnaround was about 2 days and when we picked up our car, it looked better than it did on the day that we bought it! We're definitely going to continue to bring our cars here for aesthetic services. read more

American Shine Detailing - Godzilla fresh out of SpeedFreak! - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I made an appointment to take my 2016 ATS-V in for a detail based on recommendations from one of my Facebook car groups. It took almost two months to get my car in but the wait was well worth it. Brian Dubinsky was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through the best options to restore my car to a condition better than when I took delivery. In addition to the detail he did a paint correction, ceramic coat and resurfaced all of the wheels. A testament to his work is that after owning the car for two years I feel like I have a new car again and I can't stop looking at it. I highly recommend Brian and American Shine Detail. read more

Recently had my red Tesla Model 3 ceramic coated, tinted and PPF put on the bumper at ASD. Brian and Brian were fantastic to work with and the results speak for themselves. They walked me through each step of the process, explained their different products, and didn't try to push me to purchase anything I didn't want or need. They were even able to meet my request for a one piece tint on the rear window of the 3, which is notoriously hard to do due to its size. It's not hard to tell from all of them in the shop, but these guys know Tesla. Since everything I had done took several days, the communication throughout the process was a nice touch. As was the follow up call to see if I had any questions and make sure I was happy. I highly recommend. read more

Absolutely the Best Professional Detailing Shop - bar none. After doing some research I happened on American Shine's website. After talking to Brian, the owner, I brought my car into the shop. Brian is truly and expert in his field. My problem was unusual in that my car's glass and mirrors were coated with chemical spots - probably from hard water. I could not see clearly thru the windshield and the sun roof was completely coated with chemical spots. American Shine ordered special products and pads and went to work. 3 hours later with much hard work by two expert detailers my car was restored - all glass was clear and mirrors clean. Brian personally ensured my satisfaction and inspected my car during and at the end of this process. Brian and his expert detailers provide expert, wide ranging, comprehensive services/products to new and older cars. This is the shop to use and rely upon for any and all car detailing needs. As a 26 year US Military Veteran I strongly recommend Brian and his American Shine Professional Detailing Center. read more

My husband and I just bought a new Audi S3 2018 in Vegas Yellow and were looking into getting the car wrapped and coated (ceramic coating) to make sure that the car kept its new car shine. We looked at a few places in the area, but we decided on SpeedFreak as they provide a wide assortment of services, which was very convenient to get the coating, window tints, and ceramic coating done together. We coordinated with Brian who was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and was able to accommodate our busy schedules. They moved into a new location, so they were still setting up a lot of things, but the location looked very open and clean which felt very professional. The price for the coating, wrap, and tints were competitive from other locations we inquired about. Brian was helpful in walking us through the various options and recommendations to help ensure our car stays clean just the way we need it to. It has been three months now and the car has almost survived the winter, but wanted to leave a few comments on the various products. Film: I believe we got the Suntek PPF wrapped only on the front end. The Audi S3 has a very intricate front end design that adds to complexities in the wrap. We were pleased with how it came out and have no issues so far. Ceramic coating: Brian applied Gtechniq ceramic coating to the car. The coating has held up well and even after a harsh winter with much salt, the car is easy to clean and maintains its original gloss. We were deciding between Gtechniq, Cquartz, and Optimum... and we are happy with the results of gtechniq so far! Tint: We chose Suntek Cermaic CIR window tint which came out beautifully. We have used this same tint on other cars and it is our favorite in terms of look and heat reduction. We will admit that the tint job left us very impressed, whereas before we had taken our cars to TintFX in Vienna which seems to have done more of a rushed job. Also, we loved the updates from Brian throughout the process of the car getting cleaned, detailed, and wrapped! read more

These guys are amazing! Brian Dubinsky did a great job describing my options when I brought in my 2015 KIA with some 'cement drippings' damage from an underground garage.

I first heard about American Shine Detailing, a few years ago while researching for ceramic coating services around my area. Followed them on Instagram over the years and always liked their work. Recently, I had the pleasure of obtaining ceramic coating and window tint services from these guys and I am pleased to say I had an excellent experience. Brian is passionate about his area of expertise and wouldn't budge on quality even if the customer was to ask for it to save a few pennies and that is what I loved about them. I knew I was going to get a great product with an attitude like that. He was also very open, welcoming and explained everything that I wanted to know. I asked them a bunch of questions prior to booking an appointment, at drop-off and pick-up and each time Brian was forthcoming in explaining everything to me. Brian and his team performed an excellent service and I was highly pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend these guys and will definitely be a repeat customer in the future for sure. Thank you American Shine Detailing for the excellent service delivery. read more

Got my Model Y tinted a couple months ago, still looks great. Price was good, used quality materials.

Brian and team did an absolutely fantastic job correcting factory paint issues as well as hundreds of micro-scratches that had accumulated on our Mercedes C43 AMG. Brian also consulted with us on which coatings would provide the best protection and ease of maintenance relative to the cost to purchase and apply, and we could not be happier with the end result. Additionally, the American Shine applied heat-filtering ceramic tint that has made a dramatic impact on the interior temperatures of the car while improving overall appearance. I have worked with several of the area's high-end detailers over the past decade, and I can honestly say that none has demonstrated the same level of passion for their craft nor attention to detail that I experienced at American Shine. read more

Brian and Dave have the best shop in NOVA! They were super accommodating and extremely helpful. Wrapped a 991.2 911 full body wrap and a A6. Their prices were the best that I could find around. If you check the boards you will definitely see that they stick by their work and it shows. They sent updates as the process went on and was told when everything was ready. Took all the guess work out and felt really secure that my cars were in good hands. Outcomes were perfect and you can tell that they've dedicated themselves to their craft. I'll make sure to bring my cars only to them moving forward. Thanks guys! read more

A true detailing shop that does amazing work. They offer several products and services and I spent money on a 1-step paint correction and Modesta for my Kia Forte 5. This shop tends to get a lot of high-end and rare cars, but they still treat your everyday car with the same amount of care, attention to detail, and enthusiasm. The paint correction will have your car looking better than it did even on the day it was built. Most of all, they go way beyond when it comes to standing behind their work. I can't wait to be ready to bring my Mitsubishi to them in the future. read more

Brought in a white Tesla M Y for ceramic coating. During the walk around the car Brian highlighted for me how his recommendations would improve the car's appearance. Left the car with him for a few days and was pleasantly surprised that he discovered some subpar work done by another outfit who fixed some curb rash on one of my wheels. Shows real attention to detail, which any car lover would appreciate. When I picked up the car after the coating was applied, I was amazed at the glossy wet look imparted by the coating. Really made it *pop* visually. Brian 2.0 reviewed all of the work done to add coatings to other surfaces: windshield now coated with the equivalent of rain-x on steroids. I drove home through some light showers and watched how water flowed effortlessly off the car. Highly recommend and I'm also looking into using their SmartWash Maintenance Program. read more

I had some questions about protecting the finish on a new vehicle. Brian was great in going over options with me, taking into account my personal / situation in their recommendations. He also offered to take care of a small scratch right away. Attention to detail matters, and these guys have it. Not only did they do a great job on the scratch, as I stood in their waiting room, I saw employee after employee come out to take care of little things like wiping off the leather chairs to filing the water in the coffee machine. I haven't used them for much work yet, but based on what I've seen, I'd highly recommend them. read more

Had the fortunate pleasure of meeting BOTH Co-Owners named Brian off a spur of moment phone call looking for PPF on my new Lexus. Brian D came off so professional on the phone I absolutely had to stop in here. Both Owners came outside to meet me when I pulled in (Great sign!) and both seemed to like my new ride. Took me into their detail bay and showed me a meticulous Range Rover that they said had just been done w their Suntek PPF material. Folks, I s*** you not, I could not locate one seam, end, bubble, crack or discolored area on this vehicle! I almost doubted what I was seeing until they popped the hood to show me how they delicately roll each piece under every portion of the bodywork to ensure each section has been properly protected to the max! The heat gun fuses n molds the turned portions over like glue! Took me upstairs into their wonderfully done Conference Room and just talked. Talked about everything else BUT what I came there for - all in an entirely positive way I mean. These two guys just dont want to roll your car in, slap some pre cut aftermarket film on your car, and wave until you're around the corner and forgotten! Brian D & Brian L spent time talking with me about ME. They were curious about my passion for cars, Marine Corps time and of course my Service Dog - A huge conversation piece as it is anyway. Therefore, I think their business philosophy is learning and caring about who their customers are, not just what they drive! This meant so much to me that I even left there without any hard pricing for the PPF job, which was absolutely fine w me! (Though they did state that they'd be willing to squeeze me into a very tight schedule this coming week!) :) Looking forward to a great relationship w two gents running a tough business market within an area so full of others seeking to do this "type" of job. Not this level of quality job though!! I'm not only sold on this Company, but willing to make a future relationship with them as friends! Also, I'm looking toward helping them build a larger mantra as they convert this highly professional, high quality business into their new name as well. Shine on you American Patriots! Semper Fidelis read more

These guys did an amazing job on my Ford Raptor. I wouldn't take my truck anywhere else.

Brian at Speedfreaks did an amazing job on my 2018 M3. It's hard to find a shop that takes the time to outline their entire process and shares details throughout the entire process; Speedfreaks did all of this. All I can say the car looks amazing. Recommend getting the Gtechniq Ultra on the car and doing the wheels at the same time. It makes a big difference. read more

I gotta give a big shoutout to Carlos and Brian for bringing my baby back to life. More importantly, they restored my faith that real, true, honest, and hardworking customer service does exist. They are not out to make a quick buck like most people you meet. They really take their time to explain the process, breakdown the pricing, and deliver on their promises. I was completely blown away by their meticulous attention to detail. Sounds like an oxymoron but they truly put detail into detailing your vehicle. Don't waste your time going to the other shops in area. Save yourself the buyer's remorse and go see American Shine and Detailing. read more

The most important thing when finding a detailer who will apply semi-permanent coatings and films on your valued car is trust, and I'm happy to say that I'll be recommending and returning to Brian and his team for any future detailing work. After picking up my X3 M40i from the dealer, I called Brian and scheduled a dropoff for a full front Suntek PPF and CQuartz Finest Reserve coating. Upon inspection, it was clear that the dealer really did a lot of damage to the paint (tons of swirls and marks from a poor prep and "wash"), but Brian was able to work in a multi-step paint restoration process to eliminate any signs of the paint damage that was there. Since the car was in Carbon Black, the marks were very noticeable in all sorts of lighting conditions, but after getting it back, the paint condition was sublime. The PPF wrap was flawless, and he also included matte PPF to preserve the non-glossy texture of various portions of the front trim. All edges were wrapped around, so there are no visible seams that can catch dirt or lift/peel during a wash. The CQuartz Finest Reserve ceramic coating is significantly more expensive versus the other available coatings, but I definitely feel I got what I paid for. The slickness and gloss of the coating is incredible. I also opted to get the painted calipers and full wheels coated, which will make washing them much easier when brake dust collects on them. Overall, the quality and attention to detail of this shop is second to none. I won't hesitate to bring back any of my cars for additional work. read more

Disappointing experience and I didn't even purchase any services from them. * I wanted to have three vehicles detailed, paint corrected and apply crystal serum ultra if Speedfreaks thought that would be the right option. * I drove 50 minutes one way on a Friday morning and when I arrived at 1130 no one was there. * Called the number on their web-site and asked Brain if I was at the correct location as the name of the company on the front door is not Speedfreaks Detailing. * Brian tells me yes I am at the right location, but no one will be there for an hour and can I come back later. * When tell him no, due to the fact that it took 50 minutes to get there. o His response was "that's too bad I should have called ahead to make an appointment for an estimate"...SERIOUSLY! o I was very surprised by this especially when one has a potential client that wants to drop a minimum of $ 3,000 (my estimate) o He then asks if I can come back on the weekend...which I had to decline as I have family matters to deal with on the weekends * I think I expected to much from this business because if I owned Speedfreaks I would have offered to come to my house to do the estimate by appointment * As we say in Car Sales I don't think Speedfreaks is "Hungry" * I am leaving this review to tell Yelp users that if you want estimate from this shop, be certain to call ahead to make an appointment.

Excellent customer service and results. I highly recommend SpeedFreak Detailing, read on for more. I took delivery of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 almost 2 weeks ago, amongst some of the first delivered in the DC area. I have not had the experience of a new car for many years but know that the investment in paint correction and protection would offer the vehicle a lifetime of shine and reflection. SpeedFreak happens to be the only game in the DC Metro area that is an authorized CQuartz Professional ( http://cqfinest.com/ ) installer. This fact alone says a lot about them and helped me to quickly reach out to discuss their service offering. Chances are pretty good that you will interact with Brian - both principals here happen to be Brian. These two gentlemen are the epitome of professional, friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. This is evident from the moment you send them an eMail or make the phone call. Brian L gave me good initial advice based on a brief phone conversation and immediately followed that up in eMail with a proposal and an appointment - which took any question about the cost and scheduling of their service off of the table. Communication with the team at SpeedFreak was amongst the best that I have ever experienced in this industry. These guys take great pride in their work and go out of their way to keep you up to date as the vehicle proceeds through their process using numerous forms of modern communication. SpeedFreak provided the necessary paint correction to get the new vehicle polished and looking good, they wrapped the front of the car with Suntek PPF, wrapped the flat glossy surfaces of the console inside of the vehicle with PPF and then applied GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra to the entire exterior of the vehicle including the wheels. Windows were also tinted during this appointment. The result is stunning, it's hard to believe that a new vehicle can actually look better than the day it was delivered merely a week before. SpeedFreak is in a new location in Sterling, VA in a new business park. They have a very nice, comfortable, modern reception area. The work area is neatly kept, spacious and sunny, with room for as many as 10 vehicles and a wash bay. You can tell how much pride these guys take in their work just from the inviting appearance of the work area. Interacting with Brian and Brian on the shop floor is friendly, informative and professional - I felt that I learned a lot about Paint Correction and Protection during this experience. I highly recommend SpeedFreak detailing and plan to be a regular customer with both of my vehicles. Note that SpeedFreak is in transition with a name change and will eventually become known as American Shine Detailing - http://www.AmericanShineDetailing.com read more

Picked up my car today from Brian at American Shine Detailing -- Fantastic job!!!!, the interior is as clean as the day I bought it.

I brought in my S63 Amg to have a great deal of work done. I wanted the following: wrap removal, stage 3 paint correction, full detail, blackout and fix the lower bumper molding. They told me that the entire bumper would need to be replaced. Brian suggested going with something more aggressive but I wanted OEM. He said that he would check with his guy who does their body work Vincente Molina at Extraordinaries Customs & Collision. Well they tell me that they can only go with the front bumper that matches the Vin otherwise if it doesn't fit I would have to buy it. Now this is when I really started to question them as a company. Why would you suggest a more aggressive front bumper and then come back and say if it doesn't fit I would have to pay you for it and buy another? I thought you were a car shop that could fix this. I told them don't worry about it because I spoke with one of the best body shops and they suggested I get my car back because they are new guys and don't know what they are doing or talking about. Brian kept saying the bumper had to come from Mercedes (which is bull) he didn't know there are plenty of sites (big names) that help you match bumpers to vins and will allow you to send them back if there are issues. After agreeing to leave the bumper as is; I didn't hear from Brian for a week or so. I finally heard back from him (he was on vacation). I asked if the car was completed and he said almost. He had a question about blacking out some of the items on the car which I agreed to ($2500 grill, side of window frames, 4 door handles and lower side molding both sides). He asked if I wanted to replace the grill because the grill had some rock chips. I told him I didn't think it was necessary and to go ahead with the blackout. At the end of the week I received a call saying the car was ready. I picked up the car and it looked good. About a week or so later as I'm looking at the car in the garage I see that the alignment is off with the grill and hood. As I continue to look at the grill I see that it's coming off the car. I open the hood and see that the clips are all broken on the left side. I reached out to Brian and told him what I saw and he said he would have to touch base with his guy to find out what was going on (now at this point if you knew the clips were broken wouldn't you have known this when I called or even told me before you painted the grill?). I went up to the shop hoping to catch him before I headed out of town and Brian was out on vacation. However, Vincente was there. He looked at the car and said he has pictures that show they were broken. We exchanged numbers and he said he would send them to me (never received them). After a couple of weeks of traveling I headed up to the shop to figure out what they are going to do about the grill that they broke and they pretty much told me someone else broke them. They said the car was wrapped before and the bumper was damaged. I was completely confused, the bumper was not damaged (the lower molding slid and you could see the glue). They said if the car was brand new then they would "think about replacing it". They offered me 3 options : 1. Remount the grill with glue, 2. Free carwash up to $175 value 3. I buy a new grill, pay for painting and they would remount it for free. Brian and Vincente broke my grill and found out how much it cost and they don't want to pay for it. Brian had the nerve to tell me he didn't want to tell me that it was broken because he thought I didn't want to pay for it and that it was his fault. I've asked for pictures from him and Vincente and no one can produce them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! Do not let them modify anything on your car!!! I have since reached out to a couple body shops and car shops to see what they can do about fixing this broken grill. When I told them who did this a couple of them laughed and said Brian doesn't have the best reputation. read more

I got my new Tesla Model 3 covered in a serious amount of pine tree sap during a storm. I called American Shine and even though they were very busy as any good shop is, they didn't want to let the sap sit on my car and damage the paint so they squeezed me in the next day and stayed late after hours to finish the job. Very clear communication from the shop during this last minute process. The job they did was excellent, and they took care to follow a special request of mine. I'll be going back. read more

SpeedFreak Detailing is the best detailing shop in the area. I am very anal when it comes to taking care of my car so finding a good detail shop was very important to me. I met one of the partners John Perdue a few years ago and decided to give him a paint correction and cquartz polish job. He did such an outstanding job he has been my detailer ever since. I had so much swirl in my black GTR I wanted to sell it, but after he was done with it, my car looked better than new. Since then, my car has gone through many changes like being wrapped in vinyl. Even with the changes, SpeedFreak Detailing does all my detailing and maintanance of my car. They even tested and experimented wit my vinyl to see that products worked best with the vinyl. I highly recommend them for paint corrections and full details. They are authorized dealers for Modesta and Opti-Coat which are protective coats that make your car bling bling. Their pricing is very competitive, their customer service is awesome, and their quality of work is amazing. This is due to the fact that the owners Brian and John are the ones doing the actual work and not some hired hands. And believe me when I tell you, these guys are super anal when it comes to detailing. Love that about them. read more

Can't say enough about this place. I've been trying to get my M5 to them for over a year, but with work and other obligations, couldn't make it happen. I am proud to say last week I had a day off to drop the vehicle off for stage 1 paint correction, opti-coat and headlight restoration. Brian's communications/customer service throughout the entire process was on point and very fast. He would update me frequently throughout the entire process which was a bonus. This place is as good as it gets! Took years off the car, and I get compliments left and right about how good my 15 year old car looks. I plan on returning for my next exterior detail when it comes time. read more

Brought a brand new WRX to them to get the clear protection film done on the front end and to cover the car with one of their paint coatings. Even brand new, the car had small scratches. These guys did a meticulous job cleaning it up and applying their products. Looks like it has wet paint on it, it's so glossy! Exceeded my expectations! read more
