"Freddy Orozco: I recently brought my ‘23 4Runner into Detail Concierge for a ceramic coating service, along with paint correction and window tinting, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the team was incredibly professional and welcoming. They took the time to explain the entire process, ensuring I understood each step and what to expect. The experts are clearly experienced and knowledgeable. They handled my vehicle with great care and attention to detail, and the results speak for themselves. The paint correction brought out the depth and shine of the color, and the ceramic coating has given my 4Runner a stunning, glossy finish that looks showroom-new. The window tinting was also done with precision, enhancing both the appearance and comfort of my vehicle. Overall, the quality of work at Detail Concierge is top-notch. I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend their services to anyone looking to protect and enhance their vehicle's appearance. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Marvel did an incredible job on my tint. He educated me on the differences between the tint shades and glass type to help me decide what I wanted for my car. He also does ceramic coating as well! I liked how he gave updates on his work progress so that you can plan your day accordingly."
