Every Detailing Service Your Vehicle Needs, Done in Your Driveway

Auto Aesthetics applying a ceramic coating by hand to a satin grey vehicle panel near Binghamton, NY

Ceramic Coating

A coating is a liquid polymer that cures into a hard, clear layer bonded to your clear coat, not sitting on top the way a wax does. Ours goes on over a 20-step process: clay bar, surface prep run twice, and a 12-hour cure in a dry spot. The coating we use is rated for roughly two to three years, and because the work is mobile, it can happen in your own garage.

Paint Correction

Machine polishing that can reduce the swirls, light scratches, and oxidation living in your clear coat. A one-step correction is designed to take out most of the swirling on a typical daily driver, while a two-step cuts, polishes, and seals for paint that needs more than one pass. It is also the right first move before a coating, since whatever sits under a coating stays under it for the life of the coating.

Monthly Maintenance Plans

A standing monthly visit for drivers who would rather stop deciding. Full detail or interior only, sedan or large vehicle, at a lower rate per visit than booking the same service one at a time, because a maintained vehicle takes less work to bring back than a neglected one. The monthly prices are real published numbers, not starting-from teasers.

Interior Detail

We work the cabin back to front, so we never drag dirt over anything already clean: a compressor blowout and first vacuum, steam across every surface you touch, then the glass, the carpets, a final vacuum, and the door jambs. Pet hair, shampoo, and odor treatment come as add-ons.

Fleet and Commercial

Company vehicles cleaned at your own lot on a repeating schedule, by a crew carrying equipment bought specifically for fleet work: a dedicated interior extraction tool, a high-flow pressure washer, a pressurized foamer, a 36-inch lance for van roofs, and a battery blower. Less time per vehicle is what makes volume pricing work at all. We also run detailing days as an employee perk, where staff bring their own cars to the lot.

We Clean What Other Detailers Skip

Door jambs, the gas cap, under the seats, behind the mirrors

Those spots have one thing in common: you almost never look at them, which is exactly why they are the first things to get skipped when a crew is running behind. We clean them on every vehicle, then check them again during our final inspection. It is the reason people who booked us once in 2023 are still booking us, and it is the whole of what "thorough" means around here.

How to tell if a detailer really did the job

Anyone can make a hood shine. The finish on a hood is the part of the job that sells itself, so it gets done well almost everywhere, which makes it useless for telling one detailer apart from another. A door jamb is different, because it takes an extra pass, it takes time nobody is watching, and there is no reward for doing it except knowing it was done. When you open your door two days later and the jamb is clean, you have learned something specific about how the rest of the vehicle was treated.

Having a tough time finding a great detailer?

It is not you: every listing looks the same. A wall of names, star ratings, and pictures of shiny hoods, with no way to tell a two-hour job from a four-hour one until the crew is already in your driveway. That is why the AES Method is written out on this site, step by step, so you know exactly what happens to your vehicle before you hand anyone the keys.

Salt and brine damage, conquered

In Broome County the overlooked spots are not cosmetic. From December through March, New York roads carry salt and brine, and it collects exactly where a rushed detail never reaches: fender wells, wheel barrels, the lip under the door, the seam around the gas cap. Left there, it sits against metal all winter. We clear it out on every visit, one less thing quietly working on your vehicle while it sits parked.

Checked Before Your Vehicle Pulls Away

We call it the AES Method: 14 steps inside, 14 more outside, and a final inspection before we leave.

Our refined interior cleaning process

Every cabin runs rear to front for a simple reason: dirt falls as you work, and a crew that starts at the dash spends the second half of the job undoing the first. The blowout and first vacuum open the job, the steam and wipe-downs move row by row toward the front, and the glass, carpets, and door jambs close it out. The full 14 steps are on the interior page.

Our exterior cleaning process

Wheels come first because they are the dirtiest part of the vehicle, and washing them after the paint just puts brake dust back onto clean panels. From there:

  • Wheels: a rinse, a wheel chemical left to dwell a full 30 seconds, then agitation across wells, barrels, tires, faces, and lug nuts
  • Paint: a pre-rinse, a foam and bug scrub, a rinse, then a second foam with a contact wash, the two-stage part most quick washes skip
  • Finish: a ceramic spray sealant on every exterior before the blower and drying towels come out

Our final inspection

The last thing on every job is a named list rather than a look around.

  • Inside: under all the seats for crumbs, every screen and window for fingerprints, the cracks in seats, doors, and cupholders for dust
  • Outside: the wheels for brake dust, the fender wells for leftover dirt, every window for streaks, the gas cap, and the door jambs
  • Coating jobs: their own check for high spots

If something on that list is not right, we are still there, which is the entire point of running it before we leave.

How a Garage Side Hustle Became a Full-Time Crew

2022, a garage, and a younger brother

Auto Aesthetics started as side work in a garage in 2022, with Bryson Thomas doing the early jobs alongside his younger brother. Before that, a stint down in the Carolinas doing welding and mechanic work put him around mobile detailers for the first time and showed him that the work could be a business rather than a weekend thing.

A van paid for in cash, and a job left at eighteen

He came back home to the Binghamton area, paid cash for his first work van, and left his job at eighteen to give the business his full attention, which made 2023 the first full-time year. Three years on it runs mostly on referrals and repeat customers, on a steady weekly schedule, with very few missed appointments. In 2026 Bryson made it official and registered the LLC.

The crew, the uniform, and the insurance

The crew shows up in branded shirts, khaki cargo pants, and black shoes on every job, because presentation is part of respecting somebody's driveway and somebody's vehicle. The business is fully insured.

The AES Standard

We would rather eat the cost of a second visit than send anyone home unhappy. We show up when we said we would, we work from the checklist every time, and when something is not right, we make it right. That is how we have operated since the garage, and it is why the phone keeps ringing without advertising.

The Shop Comes to You

The six towns we treat as home turf

We cover Binghamton, Endicott, Vestal, Johnson City, Owego and Windsor as our core area, which is most of a normal week for us and all inside Broome County and its immediate edge. Jobs in those towns carry no travel charge, so booking there is usually a question of which day rather than whether we can get to you.

Mobile service details

We arrive with our own water, power, chemicals and equipment, so all we need is a space to work around: a driveway, an office lot, a fleet yard, wherever the vehicle sits during the day. Weather moves things occasionally, since a coating needs a dry spot to cure and heavy rain is not a wash, so we watch the forecast and call you before you find out by looking outside. Your address stays between you and the crew working the job.

What we charge for out-of-area jobs

We also take work out to Syracuse, Ithaca and Elmira in New York, and to Montrose and Scranton in Pennsylvania. Past roughly forty minutes from home base the drive adds $60, and a run out around two hours adds $120. The full fee list is on our rules and guidelines page.

What It Costs

A price depends on the vehicle and what has happened to it

The first question anyone asks is how much it costs, and the answer starts with the vehicle rather than with a number. A quote for a garaged sedan that gets vacuumed monthly and a quote for a work truck carrying three summers of job-site dust are two genuinely different numbers, so a printed menu would be wrong for one of you and misleading for the other. What moves a price is size, condition, how much correction the paint actually needs, and how far we are driving. Send those four things and you will have your number, usually the same day.

Real prices for coating and our monthly plans

The ceramic coating cost page spells out pricing for coating and paint correction: where prices start and the four things that move them. The maintenance plans page publishes every monthly plan price next to what the same service costs as a one-time booking.

Every fee, published upfront

Travel charges, the no-show and late-cancellation fee, the card processing surcharge, the after-hours callout, and the excessive-garbage fee all sit on one rules and guidelines page where you can read them before you book rather than after. Nothing about how we charge is a surprise at the end of a job.

Questions We Get Before the First Booking

Do you come to my house or my workplace?

Either, and both are normal. We need a parking space we can work around and nothing else. Plenty of our work happens in employer lots while people are at their desks, which is most of the appeal of mobile detailing in the first place: the vehicle gets cleaned during hours you were not using anyway.

What areas do you serve, and what does travel cost?

Binghamton, Endicott, Vestal, Johnson City, Owego and Windsor are the core area and carry no travel charge. We also work out to Syracuse, Ithaca, Elmira, Montrose and Scranton, and anything past roughly forty minutes from home base adds a travel fee: $60 for the longer runs, $120 out around two hours. The full fee list is on our rules and guidelines page.

How long does a full detail take?

About 3 to 4 hours for a full interior and exterior detail, with the exact window depending on vehicle size and how much is in it. Paint correction and ceramic coating run considerably longer and are booked as their own appointment, and a coating also needs roughly 12 hours of curing afterward in a dry spot.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured. That covers your vehicle and your property while we work.

What do you clean that other detailers skip?

Window sills, door jambs, the gas cap, under the seats, and behind the wheels and mirrors. Those are the spots a detailer assumes nobody will ever check, and they are on the written checklist we run before we leave, alongside the wheels for brake dust, the fender wells for dirt, and every window for streaks. If you are comparing detailers, that list is the specific thing to ask each of them about.

Do you detail company fleets?

Yes, and it is the part of the business we are actively growing. We maintain company fleets at their own lots on repeating schedules, with equipment bought specifically to cut the time each vehicle takes, which is what keeps volume pricing workable. Some employers also book us for a detailing day as a staff perk.

fleet and commercial page
Do you offer a monthly plan?

Two of them: a full detail plan covering inside and out, and an interior-only plan, each priced for a sedan or a large vehicle. Both cost less per visit than booking the same service one at a time, because staying ahead of the mess is cheaper than digging out of it. The exact prices are on the plans page.

Tell Us the Vehicle and the Town

What happens after you send it

You send the year, make and model, the town, and roughly what state the vehicle is in, and someone from the crew comes back with your price and the open dates for your area, usually the same day and always within one business day. Nothing is booked or charged until you say yes to a date. If you are still deciding between services, say so and we will tell you which one your vehicle actually needs, including when the answer is the cheaper one.

Or call the crew directly

Calling suits an unusual job, several vehicles at once, or anything easier to explain than to type. We are on the road most of the day, so a call can land in voicemail. Leave your town and what the vehicle needs and you get a call back the same working day. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and if you would rather just talk to a person, this is the faster route.
