What Our Clients Say
Cannot recommend enough! The professionalism and passion Dan brings is incredible!
After using Ricardo's Detail Garage for cars undergoing insurance repairs at work, there was no question who I would call when it came to needing someone to do my personal car.
Car covered in primer overspray from another shop and Dan made quick work of getting it back to looking better than before. Seriously wouldn't get anyone else to touch my car. Thanks again for the fantastic job!!!
