THE PERSON BEHIND VDS

Experience matters when working with a vehicle’s finish.

VDS was founded by Sean Barnardo around a straightforward philosophy: improve and protect a vehicle without doing more to the finish than is necessary.

More than a decade of professional detailing and vehicle-care experience.

Every vehicle is approached individually. Paint condition, vehicle use, ownership plans and the client’s expectations are considered before recommending restoration or protection. That personal involvement continues from the initial assessment through the work itself and into ongoing preservation.

Assessment First

Understand the vehicle, its finish and how it is used before recommending work.

Preservation Over Perfection

Improve what matters without unnecessarily sacrificing original paint.

Personally Involved

The person assessing the vehicle remains involved in the work and the long-term care strategy.

SPECIALIST CARE, BUILT AROUND OWNERSHIP

Better vehicle care shouldn’t require reorganizing your day.

VDS combines specialist restoration and protection with a more personal approach to service, including vehicle assessments by appointment and complimentary pickup and drop-off with qualifying services within our local service area.

SPECIALIST WORK. PERSONALLY INVOLVED.

The person assessing your vehicle remains involved in the work.

RESTORE. PROTECT. PRESERVE.

One Philosophy From Assessment Through Long-Term Care.

Restore what should be improved, protect the finish appropriately, and preserve the investment through thoughtful long-term care.

Sean is awesome to work with! He explained in a friendly, easy to talk to maner the process and pricing options for the ceramic coating he put on my new car. Very impressed with his work and eye for details. Highly recommend Sean!

Sean did a fantastic job with my Explorer! The detail service was a surprise Christmas gift and it left my Explorer looking better than when I drove it off the lot a little over a year ago! Both the inside and outside are immaculate – it feels so good to walk up to a car whose paint pops again and then get in a car without a speck of dust left in it. What a fantastic gift that will keep on giving!

I have an Audi A5 Quattro Sportback that I hired Vehicle Detailing Services in New Glarus, WI to detail for me. I thought my car looked good before the detailing, but I wanted to have the protection from road grime and such that this detailing would provide. I found that what I thought looked good before the detailing was only mediocre! My car looked fabulous! It also washes up so much nicer than before the detailing! I would highly suggest this company if you are looking for a best quality detailing job on your vehicle! They are certified and very knowledgeable, and can help you protect your investment for years to come! Update: I have since sold the Audi, and the exceptional detailing added value to the car. They also detailed our GMC Yukon and our boats. With the ceramic coating they applied, keeping these vehicles and boats sparkling clean is a breeze! The extra protection it provides from the elements is so important!

Personal attention and service is what you get first and foremost with Sean. Take the time to walk through your vehicle with him when you drop off your care and learn how you can protect your investment from inside and out. We've got a Subaru, and you'll never think it deserves such attention, but we see now that it does and should! When walking up to the car, even after driving for 10 hours yesterday, it looks shiny and new, still. He spent some extra time working on scratches and dings that have been piling up over the years. They're not all gone, but wow, a lot are! Sitting inside our vehicle feels comfortable. We added an air quality reset which made the car smell amazing and we know that all the little bugs are not creeping in. Did you know Sean will even clean your engine? Yes he does…and the car drives so much smoother, quieter and we know that it will increase the life of what's under the hood. Take the upgrade and have your vehicle ceramic coated. It really protects from the elements (and bugs!). You can see how the coating will keep this little ride looking brand new, even after 8 years. When you pick up your car you'll get a walk-through of what was completed, how, why and what the next steps are to keep the vehicle humming along for miles to come. We know our car gave us a hug after it's experience!

He cleaned up my truck very nicely and It looks brand new after being a work truck. Would highly recommend him to detail your vehicle.

Sean is an artist when it comes to detailing. If you want just a car wash go to kwiktrip. If you want a spectacular looking vehicle, this is your guy. My 13 year old optima looks like a new car. Check out the before and afters.

I have a 2014 Ford F350, and it was a big mess inside and out. After seeing first hand the work of Vehicle Detailing Services, I hired them to detail my old girl! When they presented me with my detailed truck, I was literally shocked! It looked better than new, inside and out! It washes up so nice, and with the protection this detailing provides, I plan to have this truck for years to come!
