Where Auto Detailing Began

Sylvie Auto Restoration began in 2017 with a bucket of soap, a few towels, and a 5-gallon Shop Vac as a young private in the US Army. In addition to serving Gilchrist County and surrounding areas with the best ceramic coating, paint correction, and mobile auto detailing services that are available, we love getting to know our customers. As we have expanded over the years, we’ve managed to put 1 thing ahead of all else: We start with the customer’s auto detailing needs and work backwards. While our Gilchrist County based auto detailing business has largely transformed into a specialized ceramic coating and paint correction operation, we aren’t your usual auto detailers…

Believe it or not, before we grew into the ceramic coating and auto detailing business we are today, we wanted to see if we were missing ANYTHING. We spent 3 months calling every single North Central Florida based auto detailing company, paying for detail jobs just to see if the other detailing businesses offered something we didn’t. From ceramic coatings to paint correction to simple interior detailing, we found the same things:  

1. Detailers who showed up late.  

2. Mobile detailing businesses that didn’t show up at all! 

 3. Halfhearted jobs where prices were unnecessarily raised.  

4. Detailers who charged prices no one would pay.  

5. And best of all… detailers who damaged vehicles without saying anything…  

We decided then that we would be a customer service business first, and an auto detailing business second. We love auto detailing, and we love Gilchrist County… We’ve learned that our reputation is the most important asset we have, everything else comes secondary. Check out some of our recent work below:
