From a Driveway to O St

MC Auto Detailing didn't start in a fancy shop. It started in a driveway with a garden hose, a bucket and whatever tools we could get our hands on. We detailed cars for friends, family and neighbors, with no advertising and no website, just word of mouth.

People kept coming back, and they kept sending their coworkers, their family and even car dealers our way. When the driveway wasn't cutting it anymore, we signed the lease on 2043 O St in Lincoln's Telegraph District. We built the bay layout ourselves, picked every piece of equipment and set up the drainage and lighting the way we wanted it.

Today it's a climate controlled shop of about 2,500 square feet, and some weeks we're booked solid Tuesday through Sunday. We're still in the bay every day, and nothing goes home until it's right.

Father and Son Owned and Run

MC Auto Detailing is a father and son shop, and that's how it works every single day. The way we work came from the father: do things the right way, no cutting corners, no rushing, just quality work that speaks for itself.

He's in the bay every day, and he's usually the one making sure every floor mat goes back perfectly and every door jamb is clean before you pick up. We're not a franchise or a chain. When you book with us, you're working with the family that owns the shop.

“Got the interior and oil cap area of my car detailed from these guys. The car looks and smells great now! I was also glad to learn that they were a Father-and-Son operated small business as I like to support such folk.”

How We Take Care of Your Car

The same six rules for every car that comes through our door on O St.

  1. Quality over speed

    Every vehicle gets the time it needs. We'd rather take an extra 30 minutes than send a car out that isn't up to our standard.

  2. Honest answers up front

    We tell you what we can and can't get out before we start. No surprises on the invoice, no upselling, and we call or text before any extra charge.

  3. Every car like our own

    A 15 year old Civic or a brand new Corvette gets the same care. We don't cut corners based on what you drive.

  4. Done inside our shop

    Every car is detailed inside our climate controlled shop, so your seats are dry by pickup, even in a Nebraska winter.

  5. Real equipment

    Seats and carpets are shampooed with professional cleaners, then the dirt and moisture are pulled back out with commercial grade carpet extractors.

  6. Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll make it right

    If anything isn't right, call or text 402-525-7201 within 24 hours of pickup and we'll fix it as soon as possible.

Real Google reviews, word for word, about the people behind the work.

★★★★★

“This was a great find in the city of Lincoln, NE. I walked in and met Ahmed and his father and had a 15 minute conversation with him about his small business and that inked the deal. I took my wife's Lexus GX460 in and had the full detail done on it and it turned out great. Will return with my other fleet of cars in due time!”

“These guys did amazing!! My car looked brand-new when I got it back. They serviced me on Fathers Day and even left me a bag of quarters they found around my car. I will definitely be telling people to go here if someone I know wants their car detailed.”

“I'm really happy to have found MC. They did an incredible job. The car was literally perfect when I picked it up. They work as a team, it seems, so it only took a couple of hours. They are very communicative, I received text reminders, and they were so very polite. Will be recommending them, for sure!”

“This was our first experience with MC Auto Detailing and they were fabulous. Their communication ahead of time was amazing. I love the texting to set things up and their reminders and flexibility. ... The work they did was also amazing.

“Customer service was excellent. The staff was very knowledgeable and respectful. The level of detailing was very impressive. They were able to get multiple stains out of the seats, which 3 other businesses in town couldn't do. I highly recommend MC!”

★★★★★

“I have a toddler, 2 dogs, and work out of my car for business. To say that my car was a mess it was comical the level of mess it was! ... And when I say that my car is brand new and beautiful and I'm still in shock days later, I'm over here researching how to keep my car clean like this now!”

“Absolutely incredible work! I can't believe this is the same car I dropped off. It looks better than I expected and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend MC Auto Detailing to anyone wanting to restore their car to showroom quality.”
