Your Detail Shop Is Already in the Neighborhood

The Telegraph District is downtown Lincoln's new eastern edge, built on the old Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph campus. The Downtown Lincoln Association puts it between Antelope Valley Parkway and roughly 21st St, from K St to O St, and our shop is right on that O St side.

If you live in Telegraph Flats or the Telegraph Lofts, or you work in one of the old phone company buildings, we're a short walk away. No driveway and no hose at your apartment? No worries. Our business started in a driveway with a garden hose, and now we have a whole shop so you don't need either one.

Getting Here Inside the District

Drive times checked on Google Maps on a weekday evening. Your time may vary with traffic.

You're probably a few blocks from us already. From Telegraph Flats at 2001 N St, head north to O St and we're near the 21st St end of the 2000 block, on the south side of the street.

Driving in from elsewhere? Antelope Valley Parkway runs along 19th St, less than two blocks west of the shop, and the Jayne Snyder Trails Center is a couple of blocks north if you want to walk the trails while you wait.

  • Union PlazaThe 6 acre park with the fountains and the amphitheater is just across O St from our shop.
  • The Muny BuildingThe 1921 Muny Building nearby is a city landmark, tied to a long fight for equal access to the city pool.
  • N Street Cycle TrackThe protected bikeway runs 17 blocks from 23rd St to Arena Drive.

Made for Busy Downtown Schedules

A lot of our neighbors work downtown and live in apartments, so their cars collect the usual mix: coffee in the cup holders, gym bags, a little road salt every winter and no easy place to wash it off.

Our Essential Interior Detail is a thorough refresh for vehicles without stains, heavy dirt or pet hair. If it's been a while, the Full Interior Detail shampoos the seats and carpets and extracts the stains. Want the outside done too? The Inside and Out packages add a hand wash, clay bar and ceramic hand wax.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

“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.”

“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!”
