Good job with the website! And good luck, maybe I'll come by the next time I'm in Detroit (only 2.5 hrs away).

detail

Actually i have always lived in michigan , so i am used to the weather changes, Michigan is the only state where you can see all four seasons in one day!!
My prices are actually cheap considering the amout of time spent on the car, for the full combo, it takes about a good 4 hours!!
I do any vehicle that wants to be done, or every paying customer!!

here is a link of some of the cars i have detailed so far!

Are you just starting out? Are you doing this all by yourself? What if you get more customers than you can handle?

Yes , this is my first year doing this and i am doing this by myself, because i don't trust anyone to do it for me! And i shedule all the people i get and give myself 5 hours for each appointment, thats a good cushion and i don't do more than 2 cars a day, currently i have people scheduled from now till end of july! if this goes well i will get a little shop next year!!

JR , welcome to Farmington Hills, at least you moved to a beautiful city, it's awsome here, centraly located to everywhere, and i am at 10 mile road between orchard lake and middlebelt, where are you at? I'm sure i'll see you around, if i havent all ready, do you have a black tl with chrome wheels?

Fred and JR, do either of you have springs or body kit. If so I'd like to come check them out.

I live in Canton and work in Farm. Hills so you may see my Debadged SSM TL-S cruisin around.
