About

One guy, one van, published prices.

Rhett's Auto is a mobile detailing business in Overland Park. It runs on one idea: you should be able to find out what something costs and book it, without a phone call, a site visit, or a sales conversation.

How it works

The shop drives to you.

Everything travels, power, extraction gear, polishers, an industrial ozone machine. That means a driveway, an office lot, or a street space all work equally well, and you don't hand over your keys or lose a day to a drop-off.

The work runs from a hand wash through full interiors, extraction and odor removal, multi-stage paint correction, and ceramic coatings rated from one year to five. Alongside that: undercoating, bed liners, select body work, and basic mechanical service at $100 an hour.

Most people start with one big detail and then move onto the maintenance program, because keeping a car clean is dramatically cheaper than rescuing one twice a year. That's not a sales pitch, it's the whole reason the program exists.

How it's run

Four things that don't change.

  • One person does the work

    Rhett quotes it, does it, and hands it back. Nobody gets handed off to a rotating crew, and there's no manager to escalate to because there's no layer to escalate past.

  • The price is published

    Every service on this site has a number attached. You can build a full job and see the total without talking to anyone. The old way, text a photo, wait for a quote, was slower for both of us.

  • Bad news comes early

    If a vehicle needs more than the booking described, you hear it before the work starts. If a defect can't be fixed, you hear that too. Nothing gets added to a bill after the fact.

  • Some jobs get turned down

    No window tint, no paint protection film (PPF). Those are separate trades and doing them occasionally is how people get bad results. Same for engine and transmission work.

The details

Plainly stated.

A certificate of insurance is available on request, property managers and commercial clients usually want one on file.
