Fairfield County Motorsports at the Fairfield train station has a guy come in to do detail the cars they work on. The guy did a good job the few times I was there, but I haven't bern there in over a year, cause they really know how to f*ck up BMW engines - they know Porsches very well though.

I'd probably drive to NY or NJ if you want a good detail, not worth the premium in CT for what you get. 6spdcoupe is a forum member who sells audio and does detailing, he's in New Brunswick.

If you work or live near Merritt 7, they have a fairly cheap detailer in the 501 bulding.

I think Gotham Auto in Danbury looks promising. Their prices seem to be slightly higher than other places, but it looks like it is pretty well reviewed for the area. Has anyone here been to Gotham Auto and can vouch for their work?

Gotham does an excellent job in danbury. also arkham shine in new milford is a top notch detailer as well.

From my research, the current owner of Arkham Shine used to work or own Gotham Auto. According to the google reviews of Gotham Auto, it's been under new ownership since February 2015.

Have you personally been to both locations to get your car detailed (post ownership change)? If so, which do you think does a better job?

wow that is some good detective work. i happen to own a bodyshop in danbury so ive tried a few guys in the area before for some of my Customers . i know justen the owner of gotham and kevin of arkham both pretty well and have used both before several times gotham is def my go to for tints and most people are more then happy with their detail but I feel arkham is better for exterior detailing. they both are excellent people to deal with and standup businessmen . kevin at arkham was just doing some work for barrett jackson auctions at mohegan sun so you know his work is top notch. i enjoy their instagram pics especially the before and afters.

Would you say it's worth the extra $50 to get my car detailed by Kevin?

Kevin is great, had my car detailed by him a couple years ago. Can't go wrong either way, was detailed at Gotham and then Arkham opened up later. He also defogged my headlights on my old r32!
