Student Reviews

Dave Lawson – Nick truly has your back

I just recently completed the two day paint correction exterior and interior detail class with Nick, Frank and Chris at the Detail Czar's shop, along with a good friend and coworker. We both are 'car guys' but not professional detailers. I really enjoyed my experience! We both came in to the course looking to gain personal knowledge and growth, specifically for paint correction and ceramic coating. In the future, I could see branching out and starting a detail shop either mobile or out of my home.

It felt like within a few hours, we had a shared, truly relatable identity with Nick and the team. They were extremely easy going. We all were fired up to see the extreme transformation from start to finish. The team are really Good Fellas! I had a decent exposure and past background in auto detailing before attending this two day course, but it in my opinion, it does not matter if you come with any experience or not. The course is so structured, it is simply designed for student success.

The training was organized so methodically. We were provided a complete printed breakdown of the steps, products used, and even a little laminated cheat sheet. It was an excellent experience that accelerated my desire not only to get back into detailing my personal cars along with my family and friends, but really got me inspired to possibly work towards starting a detail business in the future.

The skills covered will put folks on a path to succeed with the careers in auto detailing. The guys at Detail Czar were very enthusiastic about their work, which made the experience fun. Time flew by on the exterior day 1 for sure. I also like that Nick is there after the course. I would call in like a family of detailers that can share from each others experiences. He takes personal calls to answer questions. Knowing you have someone in the detail field with such a vast experience, only will build your confidence as you growth in the auto detail field. Nick Vacco truly has your back.

Keith Ammons – I gained so much knowledge from the hands on training

Thank you Nick for being an inspirational teacher. I recently attended your detailing training program. I must say I came away with a lot more confidence and knowledge than I expected. I gained so much knowledge from the hands on training. And don’t let me forget to mention how awesome your trainers Chase and Chris were. This was an incredible experience and I know my business will do well. Thank you guys again and keep up the amazing training.

Joseph Otte – A great class with great people

A great class with great people. I came in, not having any experience about detailing, and I left feeling strong in the knowledge that I obtained over the training class. I look forward to applying this knowledge and starting my business soon.
