Here is the listing on Detail University's Find A Detailer Section NJ. It looks like there are several shops in your general area. Good luck and let us know if we can help you any further.

I am located in West Orange but I can come to you. I detail alot of high end exotics and luxury cars. What exactly are you looking to do with your car? Do you need a full detail or just washed and waxed. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you an estimate. If you need contact info or pictures of our work, I am more than willing to share them with you. Hope to hear from you soon..Paul

It needs to be a dry Saturday and depending on the condition of your paintwork, I could do it in a day though ideally I would do it over two days. Please remember I don't do this for anyone but since you are a fellow member with a Benz from NJ, I would do it.

I recommend Prestige Auto Spa located in Mahwah NJ on Franklin Turnpike. Very good and will not try to over sell you services you might not need.

PERFECT!! Thank You. Looks like they offer a good car wash also. Is there a body shop you recommend for after market installs?

Midland Park Auto Body
158 Godwin Avenue
07432 Midland Park NJ

+1 201 444 5564

The owner is called Warren and his son is Peter. They are VERY good people. I use them for all my body shop needs. They do not do estimates on Saturday. They are closed on Sunday like most of Bergen Country.

Great! Thanx I appreciate it! Should I tell them that I was recommended by Scott? Would they be able to give me an estimate over the phone or you think it's best I go in person?

I am sure they will not remember me, as they do get a LOT of people in there. You should go in person. I do not think they will do it over the phone. Please tell me what you think. I am not sure they are the cheapest, but they seem to me to be the fairest and they will tell you exactly what they are doing and why.

PS...one time, I had to replace the little plastic bit on the front of the mirror housing. I had the part and they put it on for free, because they know me a bit. I do not think he would remember my name, but he remembers faces (or at least he pretends too). Either way, they are good people.

Do you have a son who is about 16 or so whose name is Jim?

Bruce

Exit 7a or 62 off of 295 for me.

I have a son who is 21 in college and his name is not Jim.
You are correct about exit 36 off 295. Let me know if you are planning to come down since I have busy weekends ahead through end of this month.

My daughter and her Mom live in the area so I am down that way often.
She has a friend whose father also owns a high end body shop in the area whose name is Jim. I think he said his Dad is from Bulgaria.
Small world and you never know.

Is your shop located near Rte73 or Rte70?

I don't own a shop ; I am simply an owner member who details his own cars like many others on here. I work in NYC.
