Let Me Transform Your Ride!
Expert express detailing guaranteed to give you that showroom shine everybody loves. And when you're ready to sell, I'll help you get top dollar!
Extend the life of your car & get more money for it
With all the miles we rack up, our cars take a beating—but with just a little love, they can shine like new again!
That’s where I come in.
With my local express detail service, your ride can look and feel brand new again in no time!
And here’s the really cool part, if you’re thinking about selling or trading I can help you get more for your ride.
Sometimes a lot more! How?
Because over 30 years ago I developed a system for selling privately owned vehicles –– where the buyer gets a better deal than they could get anywhere else and I get more for my ride instead of trading. Sometimes a lot more!
I call it the Retail Detail System. All in all, I’ve saved my family over $30,000 using my system and now I can help you too!
With over 30 years of experience —whether you’re keeping your car for the long run or selling it in the next 30 days I can help you get the absolute most out of your ride.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I need to prep my car before I come see you?
Before we kick things into high gear with your detailing appointment, a quick pit stop: please make sure to clear out any debris, loose change, or forgotten snacks from your car.
Once we’ve got a clean slate to work with, we’ll rev up our engines and have your ride looking sleek and shiny in no time!
Ready, set, let’s do this!
Does your detailing cover interior and exterior?
Yes, I expertly detail both the interior and exterior. However, I do not wax vehicles.
What if my car is...you know...super duper nasty?
My services are for drivers who value a clean ride, and love that showroom shine. If your vehicle needs a deeper clean, such as carpet shampooing or faded paint repair I am happy to provide a professional referral.
Additional charges for tar removal, overspray or rail dust removal, may apply and can be discussed at the time of your appointment. In addition, clear coat etching/marring from bugs and other debris can permanently harm your cars’ appearance. I will point these out to you upon pick-up.
In addition to my price schedule, additional fees may apply to larger vehicle’s. We will discuss these upfront, before your service begins.
I really want to learn the art of detailing. Can you help?
Yes, you can detail your car right alongside me once you book your appointment. Together, we’ll trick out your ride. And when we’re finished I’ll give you a list of the products we just used and where you can get them so you can give yourself that showroom shine time after time. Plus I’m always available for a quick text or phone call in case questions come up.
What times & locations do you offer?
All express detailing services will be available on Saturdays at Tony’s Turbo Wash (Next to Fesler Express).
You can book your Saturday appointment here or call/text me at 641-919-9391 to enquire about availability. Don’t hesitate to reach out. Your support means everything to me.
I look forward to giving your car that showroom shine everybody loves this season!
What if something comes up or weather is lousy?
If inclement weather prevents me from completing your detail service we will reschedule your service for the following week or on a Saturday of your choice.
Isn't detailing just for really nice cars?
Not at all. Look at this way:
The better shape your car is in, the easier (and faster) it will be to sell it later. And you’ll get more money for it. Just common sense, right?
Problem is if you don’t care for your car on a regular basis, dirt and grime builds up. That’s bad for the paint and makes the interior look old and weathered.
And hey let’s be honest. It just feels better to drive around in a nice, clean, sparkly car!
I'm old school and like to talk on the phone before I book an appointment. Can I call you first?
Of course! I take calls after 5 M-F and anytime on the weekend. (641) 919-9391.
I just wanna buy your kit and do it myself. Is that allowed?
Sure, just speed on over to my sister site at www.mydiycarguy.com
Can you really detail my ride in an hour?
Yes, for my own ride and that of my customers’ that I stay on top of monthly, an hour hits the mark every-time.
But for most folks, realistically you’re looking at 90-minutes to 3-hours.
My $97 express detailing service is perfect for getting your everyday city car shining like new after it gathers a little dust and dirt.
But listen, if your ride has been through the wringer with Iowa’s brutal winters, muddy backroads, or plenty of dog-friendly adventures, it might need a bit more TLC.
But don’t worry, I’ve got your back! I’ve been detailing cars for over 30 years so I know how to tackle even the toughest messes.
When you drop off your car, we’ll go over anything that might need some extra elbow grease. If it looks like your car needs deeper cleaning for heavy dirt, stubborn pet hair, or other tricky spots, I’ll let you know upfront if there will be a small extra charge. No surprises, I promise!
My goal is to get your car looking absolutely amazing again. And then, ask you if you would like to be a monthly maintenance customer for ONLY $65 per month!
If you have any questions shoot me a text or give me a ring at (641) 919-9391. I’m here to make sure you get the top-notch express detailing service you deserve. And I can’t wait to work my magic on your ride!
I'm thinking about selling or maybe trading my car soon. How can you help?
