Default Best Detailer in Houston

Got my recently purchased Torch Red C5 ZO6 detailed and cant believe the amazing results. I have to share. The detailer is Brent at Active Auto Detailing in Houston. He spent 9 hours without much of a break on this car and transformed the 11 year old paint from ordinary to show quality. We could not be more pleased.

More of his work can be seen on his Facebook page at Active Auto Detailing. His number is 832.567.7615

Varies based on 1, 2, or 3 step and type/size of vehicle.

He could most likely provide a quote with a text pic of the car.

My C6 (also Torch Red) could use a detail job.
Can you provide any details regarding price? You can PM this data.

Understandable. What I was asking is how much did you pay to do your car. I know some detailers are apprehensive to give their rates out. Really good detailers I know just charge by the hour. There should be complete price transparency for this type of work.

The price was $380 for a claybar treatment, 3-step polish and sealant. The interior was completely cleaned as well. IMO, he easily added triple that to the value of the car.

A 2-step would have been $240.

That's pretty reasonable. How many hours did they work on it for? I usually end up with 6-8 on a C5 but something like a Tahoe can take twice that amount of time.

I also think that is completely reasonable. Thanks for the info. I might have to give him a call.

I had Brent from Active Auto Detailing in Houston come out again. This time to do a polish and CQUARTZ coating on my C7. OMG, what a shine!!! I am looking forward to not having to work so hard getting the bugs off. You find find them on Facebook at Active Auto Detailing. (832) 567-7615 Works hard and fast. Good price and dependable.

Is he a mobile detailer or does he have a controlled environment to do his corrections?

Bump this up top....

Just got my AW C7 Z51 detailed by Brent this weekend. He did a light polish (car is brand new) and coated with CQuartz. My god it looks amazing, he did a hell of a job. I HIGHLY recommended this guy!

Steven Ferguson with Executive auto detailing is the best in Houston. He does my Black Z06 about once every year and a half. just to keep the coating on the paint I have 0 swirl marks and when I wash the car i dont ever have to use water, just some of his spray that he will make you. he will show you how to clean it when it gets dirty and then you go and drive. he also does my f250, I went and played in the mud the other day took it to the car wash sprayed the big chunks of mud off they whipped it clean and the truck is spotless again.
