Owner's Story

Since I was a young boy growing up in Cornwall I have been a pure blooded car enthusiast. I’ve always loved fast, beautiful and rare cars. I love looking at them, being around them, driving them and most of all I love detailing them.

To say that I am passionate about detailing cars would be an understatement. As a young boy my mother would often find me in the driveway detailing my pedal car, trying to make it look as good as I possibly could. Even before I was old enough to drive I was often seen detailing and waxing my parent’s cars to near perfection. Our neighbours and family friends took notice and would commission me to detail their cars for them as well. And I haven’t stopped since.

Starting my detailing career early at the age of 2.

But it was 17 years ago during my time at the Canadian Automotive Institute enrolled in the Automotive Marketing and Business Administration program that I really started learning about paintwork and the fine art of detailing cars to perfection. As students we were required to work co-op work terms in the auto industry for credits towards our program. There was an ad posted on the board in the co-op office at the school from a small business looking for someone to wash cars 10-12 hours a day for bad pay and in unpleasant working conditions. So of course I applied, in fact only one other person applied for the job. As it turned out I got the job and I ended up working for a master detailer in Toronto who was a specialist in the preparation, preservation and display of priceless prototypes, concept and production vehicles used for photography and display purposes all cross Canada for major automobile manufactures. For a young car and detailing fanatic I was in heaven.

After my work term had ended I stayed on with the company while attending school at the same time and worked full time for them after I finished my schooling. I was trained in such specialized techniques for paint re-leveling as wet sanding, high-speed polishing, compounding and removing contaminates from painted surfaces. For 4 years I spent my time perfecting my craft and detailing vehicles for special events, auto shows, new vehicle introductions, photo shoots and television commercials for car manufacturers taking me from coast to coast all across Canada. I was detailing vehicles everywhere and anywhere from cozy shops to dark parking garages, automobile manufacturing plants, parking lots in the middle of winter to a mountain side in the Rockies.

This Mazda RX-01 concept car was just one of the many priceless, one of a kind vehicles that I have been entrusted to detail during my career.

After years of long hours and constant travel I was burnt out and needed a change. Over the proceeding years my automotive career has lead me from working parts and service at the dealership level all the way up to working for a major auto manufacturer and upper management in the vehicle rental business. But I realized that my true passion in life has always been detailing cars and I found myself detailing vehicles on nights and weekends for friends and family. Again it was time for a change.

In 2010 my better half and I decided it was time to get away from the city and settle down in my home town of Cornwall. We decided that I should take the plunge and start a mobile detailing business, this is how Automotivation Mobile Cosmetic Services was born. Over my career I have had the privilege of working on some of the most beautiful cars in the world and now I have extended this experience to the residents of the area that would normally only be offered in a major urban centre for much more money and in the comfort of your own home.

I would like to extend an invitation to call me for a free estimate and consultation and experience the difference I can make in your cars look and feel. My mantra is quality over quantity… Always!
