EXTERIOR AUTO DETAILING

Top-notch appearance since 2004

Enhance your exterior

If it’s the outside that matters most, you have to go with the Premier Enhancement Detail. After the initial wash, our technicians totally decontaminate the finish to pull out embedded grime locked inside. The finish is then enhanced with a one-step correction and protection to remove light scratches, boost gloss and prevent future contamination.

Testimonials

For me, it’s either Simon’s detail or no detail.
Simon’s goes the extra mile to make sure that all of your concerns are addressed. I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. It’s much more than you ever expect. The value that you get from Simon’s is unbelievable.

GARY WEXLER Operational Partner
Honda of Downtown Chicago

I’ve been coming to Simon’s for a decade, religiously.
I’m very particular about many things in life and my vehicle, and once it looks that good it really makes my day. One of the joys of Simon’s is having known them so long, working with them for so long. I feel absolutely confident rolling in the car, dropping off the keys, being able to take off, and no fuss no muss. They’re fantastic, trust them implicitly, and they do a phenomenal job.

TIM TAYLOR Financial Consultant
Combined Insurance

I feel like I have a relationship individually with everybody here.
So really friendly, family-like atmosphere. Very clean shop, very detailed, people are very kind, the area itself is very sterile. Couches are really comfortable, internet is great. So I just sit back and relax when they wash my car, and you know when I need a detail once or twice a year I pretty much drop the car off and it comes to me like it’s brand new.

FAQ

Edit Content

Detailing is exactly what it sounds like — it’s the kind of vehicle care that pays attention to the details. The kind that gets into all the nooks and crannies. Car washes don’t pay the same attention to the vehicle’s appearance in the same way a professional detailer would. If you were to compare it to restaurants, car washes are like fast food, while Simon’s is fine dining.

I don’t know what my car needs!

No worries! Come in for a free consultation and we’ll thoroughly inspect your vehicle. While we inspect, we’ll let you know what we’re seeing and what can be done to address the issues. Then you tell us what’s most important to you, and we’ll craft a custom service package to address your needs.

Does this package include (insert service here)? Can I add on (insert service here)?

If there’s a service you need that’s not included in our packages, please let us know and we can build a custom package that fits your needs!

What is paint correction?

This is what people mean when they talk about “buffing out scratches”. Paint correction uses machines called buffers to level out scratches and other defects in the protective clear coat.

Depending on the severity of the defects and the softness of the paint, our paintwork technicians will use different combinations of buffing pads and correction products to address the defects to your satisfaction.

How long does this service take?

These services can take anywhere from 1 to multiple days depending on the size of the vehicle and the kind of condition it is in. Our staff will provide estimated service times based on these considerations.

Why does my new car need a detail?

While it may sound surprising, vehicles are often hit with minor aesthetic damage while still in the factory, in-transit or at the dealership. Scratches, scuffs, dings and other annoyances are all too common in the process of delivery to the end user, even on luxury and exotic vehicles. For this reason, Simon’s offers dedicated New Car Detailing services to ensure any new vehicle looks as new as it actually is (if not better!).
