About Smith's Vehicle Detailing

A one-person detailing business on Grove Road in Mayfield, Blenheim, that takes on cars, caravans and boats of all makes and models. The owner, Aaron, says he has worked in the automotive industry for 30 years, starting as a car refinisher in Christchurch. Paint work is the focus of the website, with pictures of two-stage paint correction, machine polishing and ceramic coating on cars, campers and a classic.

Options are a basic detail, a deluxe detail and single-stage correction. Other services include leather conditioning, carpet shampooing, vinyl treatment, full seat removal and a choice of interior scents. A quote is given after the car is inspected. The website says SUVs, vans, exotic and classic cars cost more because they take extra work. Pick-up and drop-off are available within the Blenheim area.

Customers say the car came back looking brand new, inside and out. They praise the meticulous work and the attention to detail, and one customer has had a work vehicle done twice.
