Make My Auto Shine
Own this business? Update this listingMake My Auto Shine is a mobile detailing business based in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina, and it comes to you. It will "come to your home" to do the work, and it serves Carteret County on the North Carolina coast, including Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle and Swansboro. It does not say whether it works at campgrounds or storage lots, so ask.
Joe Connolly runs it alone as a "one man, mobile operation." He says he details "boats, cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, airplanes and agriculture equipment." Its services are ceramic coating, paint correction, headlight restoration, trim restoration, ozone treatment and fabric protection. It names no RV types and lists no mechanical or repair work.
The prices it lists are for its vehicle packages, and it publishes no RV price. The entry package is a 6 month ceramic sealant at $300-$500 (depending on size and condition), and its two ceramic coating packages cost more. Paint correction is $100-$200, and headlight restoration and ozone treatment are $50 each. It publishes no trip fee or hourly rate, so ask about the trip fee when you call, and ask about price if your rig is "outside of my normal service area." Hours are listed as "By Appointment," and texting is open 24/7 at (252) 515-3151. It says it works "on a part time basis in addition to my full time job," and it takes cash, check, PayPal, Zelle or Venmo.
Joe Connolly is "certified by System X to install their Made in the USA 6 year and 10 year ceramic coatings" and has earned an "OSHA 10 Safety Credential." For a ceramic coating, ask which certification lets a detailer install that product, since coating makers usually limit installs to certified applicators. OSHA 10 is entry-level workplace safety training. Google rates the business 5 stars from 771 reviews.
This is a good fit for an RV owner near the Carteret County coast who wants a coating, paint correction or headlight work done at home and can book ahead. It may not be the best fit for a traveler who needs a repair or a job done with very little notice.
