Overall Rating
This car was covered in scratches from one end to the other but Dan did an amazing job and brought it up to scratch! (Pun intended!) I got a full valet as well and it looks like new. I got these photos from Dan himself who was sending them and keeping me updated with the progress of the car. Very happy and would definitely go back to him. Highly recommend.
I recently had purchased and attended one of Daniel’s 1 on 1 training days out in his workshop in Lurgan. I was seeking his guidance mainly on machine polishing and ceramic coating application, with also having some other interior detailing queries too. We spent a majority of the day covering the topics that I wanted help the most with, which was great and also Daniel set aside time to answer any and all of my numerous random detailing questions! I really enjoyed how Daniel approaches providing his training. He will demonstrate and explain the techniques himself firstly, then allow you to try for yourself and then after you’re both happy and any concerns are addressed, he will allow you to work on the section of the vehicle at your own pace and is always available close by to ask any questions if needed. I would strongly recommend Daniel for any detailing training - very friendly, good craic, provides honest feedback for both the good & the bad, has tons of tips & tricks / product recommendations and will tailor the training to suit your needs as best as possible! Highly rewarding and valuable experience - worth every single penny!
I’ve just finished a 2-day training course with Daniel and to say I’m impressed would be an understatement. I originally booked in to get more confident with machine polishing, but I left with so much more than I expected. Daniel’s knowledge is absolutely top class — from techniques and products to the finer details you’d never think of. His eye for detail is incredible, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about passing on his experience to help others improve. What really stood out to me was how patient and thorough he was. No question was ever brushed off, and he took the time to make sure I fully understood each step before moving on. Everything was explained in a way that just made sense, even the more technical stuff. On top of polishing, we covered ceramic coating, pricing, and so many tips and tricks that’ll make a massive difference to my work. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your skills up a notch, I couldn’t recommend Daniel highly enough. His training is worth every penny.
Booked my car in for a single stage paint correction and ceramic coating, car is looking like new again. Highly recommend
Services are great. DC’s communication was great and I was really happy with the stage 2 paint correction and ceramic coat he put on my vehicle. It’s 6 months later and the beads are still forming and rolling off. He’s also happy to help out with some servicing needs which has been great. Have already recommended and would do again. Cheers
Recently completed Daniels training course for ceramic coatings & wet sanding, the information he provided me with was top notch, every question answered and additional info about things I never even considered myself, the confidence he gives you in doing your own work is immense and I feel like he is one of the best in the detailing business in the country. Top Man, could not recommend more to anyone looking trained for any detailing service👌🏼
Highly recomenend DC Autos to anyone looking for detailing training. Daniel Provides a great learning environment with his high range of tools and supplies, fantastic knowleged within the automotive industry paired with calm and effective training abilities! I was in for a 1-1 training and he provided everyting I was looking for and more! Not a single question left unanswered, not a single topic left untouched. I know there are plenty of courses in Ireland and Northern Ireland but I feel like no course would provide the same interaction, knowleddge and support like DC Autos does. Glad I went to Daniel and I hope some day to be as skilled as he is!!!
Fantastic service and communication. Really top guy who takes care of the client and the car, who clearly has serious pride in his work and subject matter knowledge.
5* service I had two vehicles detailed with Daniel and have been stopped several times to ask who had completed the work on the car, highly recommend!
Unreal service - I am picky as to how and who cleans/maintains my vehicles - DC Autos leaves no stone unturned - attention to detail is extraordinary
I literally had no words when I came to pick up my car...and if you want the proof my reaction is there on the LR Discovery Sport post on the DC Auto insta page. The whole experience with Daniel was unreal right from when I first dropped by to get a price to a result that far far exceeded any expectations I had. Daniel took me through the whole process with patience, described exactly what the options were and processes before he started, then kept me completely updated as work went along. Due to the flat back and poorly looked after paintwork before I bought the car I had a paint correction and ceramic wax coating. For me it wasn't just car detailing it was the whole experience and whilst I loved the car when I first bought it shortly before it was detailed, what I ended up with after it had been with DC Autos was my like new dream car actually looking far better than new with it's ceramic coating. Daniel's level of pride is next level and what Daniel and the team gave me was the finish he wanted me to have that far exceeded the work he quoted for. I cannot recommend DC Autos enough and will be keeping in touch for my ongoing maintenance and detailing and for future car purchases.
Couldn’t recommend enough, never had a better service on my car and I will absolutely be a regular customer now. If you’re considering it, just go for it.
An absolute professional who you can tell is passionate about his work. 5 stars!
Absolute brilliant service, attention to detail is unmatched , Daniel really knows what's best for you and your vehicle!
Top class work from Daniel on my Golf GTI. I ended up opting for a minor correction detail with 5 year ceramic coating after some communication with Daniel. Having originally been booked in for a enhancement detail and coating he sent me a video of a test spot and we decided to change the package to a minor correction to get the desired finish. This was an extra day's work but he worked round the clock to have the car back to me when needed! The communication from Daniel was superb throughout, full set of before and after pictures and regular updates throughout the process which was really great! The paint report he sends through is very detailed and really interesting to read. Pair that with the tips and advice on maintenance and his friendly demeanor, I will definitely be back and I'd recommend DC Automotive to anyone!
Really worthwhile service. You'll pay for it but it's like having a brand new car after.
Dan applied a 5 year ceramic coating to my Sköda Kodiak which is a work vehicle as well as a family runabout. Although the car was brand new from factory the work Daniel did to the car made it absolutely gleam. Couldn’t believe the car could look much better than fresh out of factory. He talked me through the whole process and kept me updated with videos and photos. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Expert at what he does. Every car Daniel works on comes out better than factory condition. Don't hesitate to get your car booked in with Daniel you won't regret it.
I left my E36 into Daniel for an exterior correction detail. I was very impressed with the results, he was able to remove a lot of surface marks and left the car looking fantastic
I have used DC Autos since it first started up and the results on my cars have always been top drawer! Daniel always does a very professional and thorough job, I've recommended his services to many friends who have all had the same opinion as me after they've left their car with him. His customer service and people skills are also second to none! Would highly recommend using Daniel👌
