The story
Two guys, one shop,
Two guys, one shop,
zero corporate nonsense.
It started in Dan's garage in 2022 — detailing on the side until the work outgrew the space. Kevin was traveling the country wrapping fleets and commercial graphics. They met at the gym, started sharing a shop, and kept handing each other work until staying separate stopped making sense. So they merged.
Today Detail Tech runs PPF, wraps, tint, ceramic, correction and detailing out of one Crystal Lake shop — same two owners on the floor, doing the work and answering the phone. When you call, you get Dan or Kevin. Not a call center. Not a service writer.

PPF is a thick, physical film — it takes the rock chips, scratches and road debris before they reach your paint. Ceramic is a thin chemical layer that locks in gloss, beads water and makes washing easy. PPF on the high-impact areas, ceramic over the top — that's the combo most people want.
A quality install lasts years and carries a manufacturer-backed warranty. We'll tell you the exact term for the film we're quoting before you commit.
Yes — one van or a full fleet. Kevin came up wrapping commercial vehicles and graphics across the country. Send us the count and we'll quote the whole job.
No. On factory paint in good shape, a proper wrap protects what's underneath and comes off clean when you're ready for a change.
Across the NW suburbs and out to Lake and Cook County — as far as Lake Forest and Rockford. Not sure you're in range? Just ask.
Because every vehicle is different. Size, condition and the coverage you want all change the number. Tell us what you've got and we'll send a straight quote — no games.
