I never had a car done by them, but I went by to look at some of their inventory for sale. They have a Ferrari 328 in black with a fantastic detail job examined under midday sunlight (Unfortunately, it had very little HP, so it was off my "to-buy" list). The people there are very friendly and profession. Jeremy from there is also a poster/member here.

In their shop, they had a 300SL, some 356s etc. Very high end looking outfit. I hear they charge a lot of money for a detail job, but from the looks of it, it's probably worth the money. I like to detail my own cars and after 15 years and half a dozen black cars, I'm pretty good, but not as good as these guys.

Please post your experience about the job they do and the cost of the detail, I'm sure others on this site would be interested!

Wow. They did an outstanding job on my car. A little pricey but well worth it. It was $485 just for the exterior detail. Interior i believe would be another $100. This is the price for an SUV cars are less.

$485 doesn't sound too bad for some repainting . I need my whole trunk redone.
Did your price include any dings as well? Had you done any comparative pricing?
How long did they take? Thanks, can't wait to see the pix.

They didn't repaint the cars, they polished it back to perfection.

485 is way TOO cheap for any body work on such a car...

I work right down the road, and one of my co-workers used to work there. They run a tight ship from what I hear from my co-worker.

I recently bought my E39 M5 from there and highly recommend them. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff......and really laid back. If you get a chance, check out the cars they've got in the back.....INSAAAANE!!! It's like being a kid in a candy store.

I can second that statement. I actually was offered a job over there, but decided on a different store.
