Auto Detailing
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Hands down the best auto-detailing and protection shop in the Capital Region.”
I don’t usually write reviews, but The Works Auto Center deserves every bit of this one. From the moment I pulled into their shop, I could tell these guys operate on another level. The communication, the professionalism, the honesty — everything was just top-notch.
I brought my vehicle in for a ceramic coating and some interior work, and the results blew me away. The paint looks better than when it was new. The team took their time walking me through the process, answering every question, and making sure I knew exactly what I was getting. No upselling, no pressure — just real experts who clearly take pride in what they do.
The shop is spotless, the staff is friendly, and you can tell the owner genuinely cares about both the quality of the work and the customers’ experience. It’s rare these days to find a business that combines skill, integrity, and insane attention to detail.
If you’re thinking about detailing, PPF, undercoating, or anything to protect your vehicle, don’t waste time shopping around — go straight to The Works Auto Center. Worth every dollar, and I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else.”
“Derek and the gang at the shop do an amazing job. I have been going Derek. For all my cars needs. Their work is exceptional, professional, and informative. The work they do on my cars Is 2nd # to none when it comes to making them flawless in every way, and in every detail. No wonder he has customers from around the entire United States shipping in there High-end exotic cars for him to care for. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I had my 2021 Honda CRV Touring detailed and ceramic coated this past spring of 2024 at Next Level Detailing (JP Harrell).
I had used Next Level previously and was impressed beyond the words already on most of the reviews already posted....I'll just add "incredibly good results".
This time however I put JP and his wonderful wife Lynn to a really big test......late spring there was a wet heavy snowfall locally and I brainlessly used an aluminum handled push broom to "push" the snow off my Honda and even though I realized the broom end had buckled due to the heavy snow I just kept on using the bent broom like I was dumber than a bag of rocks.
A couple days later I noticed a big scratch on my door handle and thought that was weird until I looked over the entire car.....OMG I was devastated seeing scratches all over the place and it was all my fault.
I went to my dealer and they said best thing to do is repaint the whole car and I said no I'll live with it.
On my way home JP came to my mind and while I doubted anything other than a complete repaint job I was up a creek.
Yes I knew JP's expertise but I doubted even he could salvage what I had messed up.
I wish I knew how to post picrures on here because JP somehow someway magically made my car 100% scratch free and looking better then when I bought it.
I write this on 10/17/24 after just washing my Honda by hand using ceramic car wash then rinsing and using a rubber squegee and microfiber rag...... start to finish in maybe 15 - 20 minutes as the ceramic coating looks like glass.
JP also treated my windows with something that I was skepticle about but now would recommend having that applied to any new customers as well.
JP and Lynn I apologize for my late review but I assure you that I shall return and offline I'll recommend you to anyone asking me where I got my car detailed.
5 stars plus!!!!!!!!!”
“What an outstanding place! The attention to detail is unmatched! Very reasonably priced and Chris is not only great at what he does, but always has a good story to share. We will be taking our other cars there as well on the near future ?”
“My vehicle was involved in an accident and the insurance company provided me a list of shops to take my car for repairs. After doing research and reading reviews, I chose paintworx. I couldn’t be happier with how my car came out but the customer service was amazing. Kept me updated throughout the process, got my car done a week early, and even cleaned the interior which I was not expecting! Highly recommend to anyone in need of body work”
“This place is awesome great customer service they are so helpful and there work is flawless!! Got a detail and remote starter threw them a few years back have had no problems. I will be seeing them again in the spring for a fresh detail.”
“Edgar was polite and thorough with his directions on using the radio.
Price was good and workmanship was neat and clean.
I will do more business with Edgar in the near future.”
“Needed a little help with a bottle of water for a spray bottle. Noah had a great attitude and hooked me right up. Its nice to see a place with great employees. Thanks again Noah”
“Jay has detailed at least 30 plus cars for me this year, and they all come out like new, he knows how to use all the equipment and Chemicals necessary, including paint correction, to make a Vehicle shine like new again! I would recommend his business highly! Jason At Titan! Here is an example 2010 CRV!”
“McGovern Jaguar Review
As a lifelong Jaguar enthusiast of nearly 25 years, I’ve owned enough of them to know that these cars require experience, patience, and a high level of technical understanding — especially as mileage climbs. When my current Jaguar approached 95,000 miles, I began experiencing a hesitation under load on hills. After an initial diagnosis and repair, the issue unfortunately worsened, which was a frustrating result after investing a few thousand dollars.
However, this is where McGovern Jaguar truly stood out.
The head foreman, Chris, addressed my concerns immediately, spoke with me directly, and even met with me in person to go over the situation. Over the next several weeks, the team continued troubleshooting what turned out to be a complicated repair, with a technician even taking the vehicle home overnight to recreate the issue under real driving conditions. That level of attention and persistence is rare.
In the end, the issue was repaired successfully, and I was satisfied with the fair resolution we reached regarding the final bill. Their willingness to communicate, take accountability, and see the repair through is something I genuinely appreciate.
I will absolutely continue working with McGovern Jaguar in the future. For anyone who owns a Jaguar — especially one with miles and personality — their experience and dedication make them a dealership worth trusting.”
“Overall excellent job and quality. They painted my cap to match the truck. Was a mistake on something, but Mike owner was very professional and took care of it for me. I recommend.”
“Magic Touch detailing did a great job on our interior car detail. The team of 3 showed up at our house at the scheduled time (on a Sunday afternoon no less) and were very professional and efficient. The communication up front while scheduling (and the reminder of appointment a day ahead) was great and the team was very receptive to fix a small detail that was initially missed.
The fact that they came to our house on a weekend afternoon was so convenient and eased the stress of scheduling a time to fit it into our busy schedules.
The car looks and smells great now and we would definitely use their services again in the future! Thank you!”
“Hoffman's is ok...its like one out of maybe three carwashes in this one horse town. I guess it will have to do. No hand wash places up here...which sucks.”
“I worked mostly with Kevin having multiple services completed. We had an issue with one of the services that was corrected by their team. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I will work with them again.”
“Well first of all if you don’t already make sure to get the unlimited pass with these guys well worth the money. On top of that I came in today to get my car washed and had some sap still stuck to my car. Hunter made sure to get it off for me and showed me some really good products to remove myself in future as well. If the owner sees this give my man Hunter a raise he was very professional, has great customer service, and went above and beyond!!”
