The work that Dan and his team do is done with great detail and attention. They make sure that everything has been done with care and quality craftsmanship. They know what they are doing and understand the process so that way the work that is done lasts. They are not pushy on selling you things you don't need, they listen to you and provide adequate recommendations. I would recommend going to Detail Tech before looking anywhere else and I will continue to use them. We have taken three cars there already! Everyone that works there is very kind and polite and cares about what they do. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Detail Tech! I brought my dad's CTS-V in for an exterior detail and had two other vehicles tinted. The staff was professional, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish. Kevin and Dan are extremely knowledgeable, offer very reasonable pricing, and clearly take pride in their work. Everything turned out fantastic, and I'll definitely be coming back for future services. Highly recommend!

Outstanding quality work and good pricing. I drive an Audi that's in great condition for its age but has some regular driving wear like road rash and some minor scratches. I'm very picky about spots and any imperfections and they practically got rid of the scratches on my hood and cleaned the rear bumper up wonderfully. My interior looks better now than when I bought the car from the dealership. I got a stain in my alcantara seat and they got it out, which made me very relieved. It doesn't even look like there was a stain to begin with. The rims also look better than from the dealership. Overall I am very satisfied. If you drive German vehicles I highly recommend them for quality work and reliable, trustworthy service.

Kevin, Dan, and all of the guys at Detail Tech did a great job on both mine and my wife's new vehicles. I got the 10 year ceramic coating on my 2026 Durango GT and had the front windows tinted to match the backs. They also ceramic coated the brake calipers and wheel barrels. My wife had the front windows of her new Nissan Rogue Rock Creek tinted to match the backs. After seeing how great the ceramic coat made my car look, she is bringing hers back for the 10 year ceramic. I would recommend this business to anyone. Their work and professionalism is top notch, and their pricing is definitely fair compared to their competition. I won't go or recommend anywhere else. Great job guys!
P. S. I know not the best pics, but the best I could get at the moment.

I cannot recommend Dan and his team over at Detail Tech enough. I brought my 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for a 3-year ceramic coating, window ceramic coating, and front window tints. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. I had a lot of questions and Dan took the time to go above and beyond and help me decide what was best for my new car. My car looks absolutely amazing and I am so impressed with their work. We will be back with our other vehicles!
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. Our team has years of experience wrapping commercial vehicles and graphics. 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.

Kevin patiently, thoroughly, and clearly reviewed the protection options for our new vehicle in a no pressure manner. We opted for full vehicle application of PPF followed by ceramic coating and an interior protection application. Our specific requests, including a delayed pick up, were accommodated. When we picked up the vehicle yesterday, it looked amazing! We are extremely happy with our decision and definitely feel it was money well spent. Additionally, it was nice to deal with a business that kept us updated, followed through on everything they said, and we didn't need to have anything redone.
