The Guy Behind the Buffer
I grew up handing my dad wrenches while he restored a '67 Mustang fastback in our driveway. He'd spend three hours on a single fender, and I thought he was crazy — until I got old enough to see the difference that kind of patience makes.
I started detailing friends' cars out of my garage in 2018. Word spread. People kept coming back. By 2020 I signed a lease on the Motor Ave shop, and I haven't looked back since.

How We Got Here
2018
The Garage Days
One bay (my parents' garage), a pressure washer, and a growing list of regulars from the neighborhood. Friday nights were booked solid by summer.
2020
Motor Ave Opens
Signed the lease on our current spot — two bays, a waiting area, and an actual sign. Hired my first employee, Luis, who's still here.
2023
Third Bay & Ceramic Pro
Added a third bay and became a certified Ceramic Pro installer. Started offering multi-year coating packages and brought Tony on full-time.
The Crew
Three guys. Three bays. Every car gets the same careful treatment.
Marcus Rivera
Owner & lead detailer. Does the final walkthrough on every car. Still gets excited about a good paint correction.
Luis Garza
Been here since day one on Motor Ave. Handles most interiors — the go-to guy for pet hair and ozone treatments.
Tony Reeves
Ceramic coating specialist. Joined in 2023 after training with Ceramic Pro. Calm, methodical — perfect for coatings.
What You Can Count On
We don't rush. No timer on any bay. Your car takes as long as it takes to get right.
Products we'd use on our own cars. Meguiar's, Chemical Guys, Collinite, Ceramic Pro. No off-brand shortcuts.
Straight talk. If something won't buff out, we'll tell you. If a cheaper service makes more sense, we'll say so.
