Auto Details is based on a simple philosophy;
we make you feel great about your car!  

Auto Details Inc. was founded fifteen years ago by Desmond Ross, a journeyman auto body refinishing tech and entrepreneur, who recognized the need of a shop specializing in automotive detailing perfection. 

With over twenty years of refinishing experience, a relentless drive to succeed, and an almost obsessive attention to service, Desmond has turned Auto Details from a few vehicles per week “out of his garage” type of business, into the success story it is today.

Desmond Ross “Hands on” C.E.O.

Des is not only the face of Auto Details, but its driving force as well. Over the years Des has taken on a lot of other responsibilities in both his professional (numerous real estate investments, a chain of pub style restaurants, and National Marketing Director for a network marketing company to name a few) and personal life; (two kids, two dogs, one cat, one wife, and membership in multiple business and community organizations to name a few others). Still, Des remains loyal to his first passion. Most days you will still find him here working away, sharing suggestions, or playing practical jokes on everyone. Des has wide range of interests, some of which include; anything car related, motorcycles, bicycles of all kinds, and long boarding. Des is an accomplished surfer, as well as a tri athlete, and has competed in several high profile events around the world. Des is also a family man; he is married with two beautiful children
