Benefits
Long Lasting Protection
Ceramic coatings provide durable barrier against environmental contaminants such as dirt, dust, road grime, bird droppings & tree sap. It helps to prevent these substances from bonding to the paint causing damage
Enhanced Shine
Ceramic coatings create a glossy & reflective finish giving your vehicle a showroom like appearance, which enhances the depth & clarity of the paint making it look more vibrant & attractive.
Scratch & Swirl Resistance
The ceramic coating adds a protective layer that is resistant to minor scratches & swirl marks. Even though it cannot prevent all types of damages to occur, it does minimize the effects of light abrasions caused by washing & drying the vehicle
UV Protection
Ceramic coatings have UV-blocking properties, which can help protect your vehicles paint from fading or oxidizing due to prolonged sun exposure. This feature ultimately helps maintain the original color & finish of your vehicle for a longer period.
Easy Maintenance
One of the advantages of ceramic coatings is that they make your vehicle easier to clean. They hydrophobic nature of the coating repels water, making it bead & slide off the surface. This characteristic reduces the accumulation of dirt & makes it easier to wash away contaminants.

What Clients Say
Extremely happy with the transformative work by Gary, at Best Auto Salon. My hobby is detailing cars but I'm still learning and applying best practices from certified Guru's like Gary. Most recently, the Artist known as Gary, painted my calipers red and applied a clear coat to my two electric vehicles (BMW i4 and Chevy Equinox). Gary is 100% invested and takes the time to send photos as the project is underway and expertly explains every step of the process. I proudly salute Best Auto Salon
Harvey Johnson
Gary is easy to talk to and shares his knowledge. He showed me all the options he offered and I took his recommendations. My 2002 Toyota tundra (with 187,000 miles) looks (and feels) great. The truck shines in the sunlight! It looks completely different. I'm really happy with the ceramic coating. I will be recommending him to everyone.
James Smith
I have known Gary personally for many years. It was a pleasure to get to know him professionally! I was not surprised to find he provides excellent craftsmanship and top-notch customer service. He made scheduling easy and got the project completed on my tight timeline. I am thrilled with the ceramic coating and look forward to the benefits it will provide in the coming years. I know it will be a good investment on my new car and will make it so easy to clean. Check out the shine in pics. Thank you, Gary!
Sara Vance
Gary is AMAZING! I had etched in water spots all over my car from a nearby sprinkler and it seemed to be getting worse with each car wash. After doing research and shopping around for a solution, i came across Gary. Not only did he promise but he also delivered. I mean the before and after pictures speak for Gary. He got the job done and got my car looking brand new.
Janny Ukaegbu
My recent experience left me thoroughly impressed and satisfied. From the moment I met Gary, I was confident that the level of customer service I was going to receive would be outstanding. When I arrived, Gary took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences. He walked me through the entire detailing process, explaining the benefits of each service and addressed any questions or doubts I had. He has a genuine commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction. I had the opportunity to see the equipment and supplies he uses from specialized paint prep and ceramic coating application equipment to an enormous amount of LED lighting in his work area, it was clear that he was using the best to achieve the best. After showing me around the shop he even offered to provided me a ride back home. While initially hesitant about the price of the ceramic coating service that I opted for, I can confidently say that it was worth every penny. The results were nothing short of astounding – my truck now has a brilliant shine and the paint feels smoother than before making it look better than last week when I drove it off the dealer’s lot. If you are looking to improve the appearance and longevity your vehicle deserves, I can confidently say look no further than Pro Ceramic - Best Auto Salon. Below is a photo of my Tacoma the day I picked it up and a photo 1 week later after Gary prepped and applied the ceramic coat.
Mark Dingman
My car has never looked better, it looks better than when I bought it new. I highly recommend getting your vehicle or even motorcycle ceramic coated at Best Auto Salon
Nic Hill
Absolutely thrilled with the results! The experience was exceptional and Gary thoroughly explained and took pictures of the process as it was underway. The brake calipers are guaranteed to last which I really appreciate. My husband and I love our cars, and expect and deserve quality care Gary truly delivers. My compliments to the Best Auto Salon!
Lisa Johnson
There are many ceramic coat installers to choose from but what sets them apart for me is the personal experience. Gary was fantastic from the first time we spoke on the phone and throughout the entire process. I met Gary at his shop and he energetically educated me on the entire process and coating options. After leaving my car he continually updated me on the process with messages and pictures. I was amazed not only with the ceramic coat but the paint swirls and a small but deep scratch had disappeared. The ultimate test was a 1700 mile road trip from Maryland through Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee (Tail of the Draggon), Kentucky, West Virginia then finally back home in Maryland. The car looked fantastic the entire time. Rain on the way home through West Virginia road spray left the car fairly dirty. A foam cannon wash, rinse then a leaf blower dry and the car was back to amazing. I am impressed how slippery this coating is. Gary seems to love what he is doing and takes immense pride in delivering a spectacular product. When he is finished with your car you feel like you have a friend you can reach out to with any questions on maintaining the finish. I highly recommend Pro Ceramic and will be using them on my new vehicle purchase.
Bo Corser

Steph Brown
Gary went out of his way to address my spray paint emergency. He was quick, friendly and did a great job. The car looked as good as new! I highly recommend his services!!!
Amy Ferguson
Gary is the Best! My brand new Sportage Hybrid Prestige looks amazing; too bad when you buy a new car it doesnt look like this. Gary is super nice and takes pride in his craft. Lots of attention to detail. Great communication. Easy to coordinate with. I highly recommend Gary to take car of your ride - you will NOT be disappointed.
Matt
Gary does an amazing job. My car came back shinier than it did from the showroom floor. He did such an amazing job on my car, I had to get him to do my truck too! Taking on the truck was not easy as it was muddy and filthy but it came back just like my car- cleaner than showroom!
Ronald Spalding
Gary did an amazing job on my 2018 Tahoe. I was impressed and beyond happy with the work that was completed.
Kristee Boswell
Gary is the best, he Ceramic coated 3 of my vehicles including my Shelby GT500 and they came out phenomenal! I highly recommend Gary Best and his services. You will not be disappointed!
Keven Kling
I initially hopped on google and searched Brake Caliper painting near me and Pro Ceramic Best auto salon came up as the number one Recommended. I went on the website and filled out the information for a quote as well as requesting quotes to several other shops. Out of all the places, Mr. Best was the fastest communicator with responding the next morning. (I had sent the quote request in the middle of the night). I did not have the money at the time and told him I would get back to him when I did. Several weeks later I sent him a text to set up an appointment and he fit me right into his schedule very quickly. I dropped the car off and thanks to living locally, Mr. Best was able to drop me off at home. Throughout the whole process, Mr. Best sent updates via texts along with pictures to keep me informed. He did an amazing job communicating. Even when he was done, he accommodated my schedule and helped set up a pick up time where he picked me up to go pick up my car. I m super satisfied with his work, 10 out 10. Do your research, this man knows what he s doing.
John B
A place to go to if you want your car to look its best
Lonnie Jones
Gary Best!!! He is simply the BEST!!! I refer all my peeps to him!!!
Thomas Pyles
I sent Gary an incredibly hard paint restoration job. I felt confident he would preform and he did not disappoint. Work was done in a timely matter and the results were immaculate. I will use again and will recommend. Great job!!!
Sue Wagner
My S550 paint was in bad shape with lots of swirl marks, from years of abuse. After my treatment to my car it s looks like a totally different car. Paint looks great.
Antonio Savoy
Had Gary take care of a few scratches on the bumper of my new truck. WOW!! Cant even tell there was a scratch, great results. Very pleased. Thank you very much. I will be back soon for ceramic coating.
Robert Padgett
I purchased my vehicle new in 2023. I wanted to keep my vehicle looking new all the time. I washed my vehicle regularly. Occasionally I used local car washes. Unknowingly, this was not the best practice to keep my vehicle looking new. I noticed hard water spots and scratches on my paint. So I looked into the ceramic coating process to protect my vehicles paint. I wanted to remove the water spots and get a paint correction to remove the scratches. I visited four ceramic coating businesses. Three in Charles County Maryland and one in Richmond Virginia. I didnt really feel comfortable with any of them. But once I spoke to Gary Best at Pro Ceramic - Best Auto Salon, that changed. Garys detailed knowledge of everything related to the vehicle body, paint and clear coat, instantly, made me feel comfortable with the process. So, if you want to remove hard water spots, get a paint correction and ceramic coat your vehicle, I highly recommend you speak with Gary at Pro Ceramic - Best Auto Salon first.
Don Hill
The service was absolutely phenomenal!! Gary is very personable and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my vehicle and he took pics and informed me of progress every step of the way. He is excellent at what he does and since it is appointment only, you know your car is getting all the attention. The turnaround for my caliber painting was 24 hours!! GREAT JOB and GREAT SERVICE!!!
Lynne Bradsher
My husband Ben took his 2008 Ford F250 to Gary and it had bad water damage. Gary restored the finish to how it looked when we bought it in 2008. Gary kept us informed at all times and provided great information for keeping the ceramic coating and finish pristine for many years to come. Thanks to Gary for a great job.
Dawna Brown
Brought my Mach-E to Gary since he has done our families other 3 cars. Just like our other cars, Gary made them shine. When I picked up the car, it look the the paint was glass. As always, Gary did a superb job.

Buyer Beware, It s likely that some reading this review have been thru something similar, but if you re not one of those you should pay particular attention. I don t want to drill to far into this but recently I spent a lot of money with a local shop to tint the windows, PPF the front end and ceramic coat one of my vehicles. When I got the vehicle back it looked great to my naked eye. A month and a half later I had some time to kill waiting for an event I wanted to see, while waiting for the event I found a detail shop that handwashed vehicles, I told them the front end had been PPF coated and the entire vehicle had been ceramic coated, the reason I brought that up was simply to make sure a neutral pH soap was used for the cleaning. About thirty minutes into the wash the tech came and asked me to come out into the shop (this shop was not only a professional detail shop but also did tint and ceramic coating.) In a nutshell he told me that in industry terms the vehicle was flat and that at best in his opinion a ceramic refresh spray might have been used. He then sprayed the driver s side rear quarter panel with water then attempted to blow it of using a hand blower only to have the water disperse over the quarter panel vs. run off as it should if it had been ceramic coated. Once I returned home, I called another local shop looking for nothing more than a second opinion. I called ProCeramic and left a message, later that evening I received the return call and over the course of an hour or so and had an eye-opening conversation with Gary, the owner. I scheduled an appointment for the following morning so as he could take a look at my vehicle. Gary did a once over then brought me into his shop and not only described the process of paint restoration and ceramic coating but took the time to show me the work he was doing on a customer s vehicle real time to include pictures of what it looked like when it first came into his shop. My only comment to him was the owner is going to be F_ing stunned! Gary works alone, every bit of the process, from start to finish is done by his own two hands one vehicle at a time. But most of all Gary never at any time had a bad word to say about the work or those he knew personally that performed the work on my vehicle instead he simply showed me the difference between what should have been done and wasn t. I left his shop that morning after writing him a check in advance to re-do if you will my entire vehicle and scheduling for my second vehicle to be ceramic coated. If you re looking for the consummate professional to do paint restoration - ceramic work on your vehicle, you don t have to look any further. Gary s honesty, integrity, and professionalism are on display in every interaction you will have with him, and his work is second to none. In addition to having a beautiful vehicle you will receive an education about the product itself, but also how to care for your newly ceramic coated vehicle. Could not be a happier customer...

Wanted to ensure that my 2016 Bentley received the best in ceramic coating. Did my research and found Gary. It was 10:30 at night when I submitted an estimate request via email and Gary immediately replied. We spoke that evening and scheduled the appointment. Gary explained the entire process, displayed the various equipment and gave a time for completion. I dropped the car off and Gary even gave me a ride back home. I received video and photo updates during the entire process. When I picked the car up, it looked totally different. If you are in need of ceramic coating, there is no one better than Gary Best!! He has earned my business and I have already recommended him to my friends and associates. He is the BEST in the business!!
George Nicholas
Gary is the real deal! He broke down the whole process to me over the phone & after looking at my vehicle he assured me that my Volvo S90 would look damn near showroom like. Boy was he right! My black vehicle looked like glass with out swirls & scratches! Hes a down to earth old school guy. I will definitely recommend him for Paint correction and ceramic coating! 100 stars!
Derek Hebb
I highly recommend this Business. The product quility is conssitently outstanding, exceeding my expectations.
Ann Marie Pirner
Best. Service. Ever!! I had significant paint damage to my beloved Jeep baby from tape holding on my Christmas lights (charity Jeep parades at Christmas time). Gary was amazing! I emailed him at 9pm thinking I would get a call the next day. Maybe. But he contacted me immediately! We talked that night and the next day he met me at the shop and gave me a reasonable quote. His work FAR exceeded my expectations. The paint was like glass. The imperfections werent noticeable at all! My Wonder Woman Jeep looks better than brand new! I highly recommend for any detailing job or paint correction issues. He can definitely make your ride look like you just drove it off the lot, and he only had it for one day!
Cathy Prusia
Gary Best did a great job on my Range Rover. Very trustworthy and honest. Would highly recommend
Rhonda RJ
Great service, amazing work. Would highly recommend
Oluseun Williams
Gary did an amazing job on my 2024 F250 Tremor. He went above and beyond explaining the details of the ceramic coating process and provided updates and pictures every step of the way. When he learned I was taking the truck to get under coated in a couple of weeks he requested that I bring it back to him so he could look it over and do any touch ups in case of overspray. Now that s exceptional service!
Brinton Chalmers
Gary was very straightforward and told me how bad in shape my paint was in with overspray and everything else but what he did with it was incredible. Made my truck look new again cant ask for a better correction and ceramic coat.
Exodus
SEVEN cars later and still a loyal customer here. Gary not only did quality work on my vehicle, he went above and beyond to make sure it came out pretty much better than new. I told Gary I was in the market to buy another vehicle. I had noticed some damage to the vehicle when I test drove it. Not only did Gary come out to the dealership with me to inspect the vehicle, he came out even though he was feeling under the weather. He observed some overspray on the vehicle and also after further inspection, noticed the vehicle had hail damage. He helped me coordinate the repairs after purchasing and paint corrected the entire vehicle including some touch ups. He also helped me coordinate getting PPF put on the vehicle as well as the windshield protection film. After all of this work he ceramic coated my entire vehicle. (including wheels, trim, and glass) I only do business with people who do good work and people who I genuinely like. Gary is a hard working family man who takes pride in his work. I would strongly suggest hiring Gary to do work on your vehicle if these services are something you would need. The sad truth is that there are more people out there doing poor quality work than good quality work. Cars and trucks are not cheap. Having Gary make your cars look amazing will pay off in the end when and if you decide to sell/trade. It helped me greatly in the past. #belikegary

My son was gifted his first car for Christmas (2024 Honda Hr-V Sport). I was searching for a detailing shop and came across Best Auto Salon. I decided to jump on my Harley and stop by the shop. When I arrived the shop was closed so I text the number on the door. Before I could put my helmet back on Gary texted me back! He then called me and came to the shop to show me around. We talked for an hour! Not only about his services but about cars in general. You cannot have a conversation with Gary and not see hes passionate about his work. We decided on a service and scheduled a drop-off and pick-up time. He even texted me progress photos throughout the day. The entire process was top notch from beginning to end. The look on my son face was priceless when he saw his car. I HIGHLY recommend Best Auto Salon for your ceramic coating and protection needs. This is definitely one of the best kept secrets in Waldorf.
Chase Hinton
One of the best experiences I ve have with my car. Amazing customer service through and through, and took great care of my car throughout the detailing and ceramic coating process! If you need your car detailed, Pro Ceramics is the place to go!!
Chase Hinton
I went to Gary to have the badging on my Hyundai Kona removed. He did an incredible job - very thorough and clean. Highly recommend.
David Bokan
Gary was awesome. He took care of some light paint damage and some dealer screw ups. My new truck actually looks new now. Very pleased and will use Gary again!
Steven Osborne
Gary Best, the owner, did an awesome job Paint correcting and Ceramic coating our brand new 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Even though the truck was new, the paint had swirl marks from dealer prep (washing) which needed to be removed. The truck now has a deep shine with no imperfections and is protected from the elements for 5 years. This is our second vehicle that Best Auto Salon has Ceramic coated for us and we plan to do a third (69 Mach 1) in the near future. He is very professional and the thoroughness of the job he does is unmatched. I strongly endorse Best Auto Salon for your auto paint correction and protection needs.
Jennifer Sharp
Late post but I had my 2017 Nismo Sentra ceramic coated by Gary when I first got it. 5 years later, still looking like shiny just like when I first got it. Side note, been in two accidents and insurance covered reapplying of ceramic coating in both accidents.
Chris Caliguiran
Best Auto Salon is top notch. Always a friendly and professional experience with Gary, he does amazing work and has great pricing on quality work. I just had Gary paint my brake calibers and wow they look great. Thank you Gary for the great work
Ronald "Ronnie"
Gary is the best in the business! Attention to detail is unprecedented! My truck looks better than new! Thank you, Gary!
Michael Harris
I had the pleasure of meeting and using Best Auto service when he was still painting vehicles. He was referred to me by a friend who knew that I demanded a quality job. I was NOT disappointed by the work he performed on my motorcycle! He asked what I wanted and I gave him a brief description of what I was looking for and he whipped up a custom color that was in my head but I couldnt describe in words! It was great. He also installed custom pieces I purchased from other vendors and made them appear like stock items. I now only come to him when I need or would like something done to any of my vehicles(or wifes)since that first experience.
Sherwin Douglas
I heard about Best Auto through my barber. I wasnt sure if I wanted to spend the money on getting ceramic coating on my vehicle even though one of my friends said it was one of the best investments you can make on a newer vehicle. I had my friend check out Best Autos website and reviews, and he said, this guy is legit and his prices are actually really good. So I took a chance, and Im glad I did. Gary was amazing with my OBX Bronco. Ive had very few experiences in the auto space that deserved five stars and if I could give a 10 star, I would. He delivered on his product, educated me about how to take care of my Bronco after the coating was done, and went above and beyond to make sure my professional life wasnt affected by his work (he helped me schedule pick up and drop off to make it super easy). I can honestly tell you that my Bronco has NEVER looked better and my only regret is that I didnt get up with Gary sooner. Best Auto is true to its name and I cant recommend this business enough. If you have any hesitance, just give him a call and have him explain to you the process and read about peoples experiences. Im glad I did.
Matt Trollinger
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an auto ceramic job like no other, and I couldnt be more satisfied. Gary Best at Pro Ceramic not only demonstrated an exceptional level of skill and precision but also completed the job within an astonishing 24 hours. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of impressive. From the moment my husband reached out to Gary, he was met with professionalism and a genuine commitment to delivering the best service possible. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made sure to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. The true highlight of this experience was the meticulous attention to detail during the ceramic coating process. Every inch of my cars exterior received the royal treatment. The end result was a stunning, mirror-like finish that left me speechless. The ceramic coating was flawlessly applied, and it has made a remarkable difference in protecting my cars paint from the elements and enhancing its overall appearance. What truly sets this auto detailing shop apart is their commitment to completing the job in record time. My husband dropped off my car on Tuesday and, to my amazement, received a call the very next day to pick it up. A 24-hour turnaround time for such a high-quality ceramic job is unheard of, and it exceeded all our expectations. In addition to the speed and precision, the pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the level of craftsmanship on display. To sum it up, my experience with Gary at Pro Ceramic was exceptional. We highly recommend Garys work and trust him with all of our vehicles - to any car enthusiast looking for top-tier ceramic coating services, Gary has earned our trust and our future business.

Pro Ceramic did a really great job on my Tesla!! I had paint splatter on my car and Pro Ceramic got my car back to looking brand new!!! I will definitely be back and recommending them to friends and family!!!!

***IF YOU NEED A SIGN TO GO TO GARY HERE IT IS*** I had a terrible white paint overspray issue on my car that had me absolutely distressed. I started getting quoted around local body shops to repair the damages/remove the paint and was getting responses in the THOUSANDS due to the extent of the over spray. Due to the types of moldings on my car and how bad the over spray was, the shops were telling me that were going to just replace the parts instead of taking the time to remove the actual paint. Because the process of then removing the paint would cause the moldings to be discolored. I did not like the idea of my car basically being taken apart, but also the process of having a rental for who knows how long while everything was getting replaced. Thats when I was recommended Gary at Best Auto Salon. Gary not only provided an affordable solution but also did an outstanding job. On top of that he made the process super easy on my end and he also went out of his way to help communicate between myself and the responsible party (who caused the over spray). Not only did he take the time out of his day to explain the extent of the damages to them, but he also helped arrange payment that eliminated the need to go through anybodys insurance company. He really puts his customers first and goes above and beyond to help. My car looks brand new, and I couldnt be happier. The quality of his work and the fair pricing are truly impressive. You can tell that Gary is truly passionate about his job and products and that really shines through in his work. I was so nervous going into this process, but Gary kept me in the loop while he was working on my car and sent me updates as he was removing the paint. He really turned a stressful situation into a positive one. I have attached a before photo to this review to show just how bad the over spray was. And while it only shows the back, my entire vehicle was covered, including all the moldings, the sun roof, the rims, basically EVERY surface of my vehicle. I highly recommend Best Auto Salon for anyone in need of auto detailing and paint correction. If you were on the fence about having services done by him or you are just searching around to get services done, Best Auto Salon is the way to go. Thank you again for the fantastic service!
Megan Lawrence
I would highly recommend Best Auto Salon for all ceramic coatings and protection Here s pics of my 2013 Versa as it was totally brought back to life with 150k miles. All the black trim was restored as well. Thanks again Gary for all your hard work .
Rachael Scoggins
Gary is simply the best! He went above and beyond my expectations. He worked with my schedule, explained the repairs needed and options available, walked me through the process, provided before and after comparison shots for my records, maintenance advice, charged a great price,all while providing a clean professional safe shop environment. I will recommend him for service over and over again. I never give reviews but his business is a must share one. Thanks again Gary!
Michelle Carter
Black 2018 Honda Ridgeline (was having issue with my paint and scratches)..Gary brought it back to life with Ceramic Coating...professional, flexible, accessible and all around cool. Explains everything, options in coatings, give great advice. I would recommend him to anyone looking to take their car to the next level.

You can t go wrong with Gary, so let loose and treat your baby to the salon, the BEST Salon, that is. You ll never regret it. Good luck everyone!
Tony Q
With all the horrible happenings in this bloody cruel world, its great when you can catch someone doing the right thing. Gary is that person - I am ultimately satisfied with my 2023 Durange. He started off by explaining everything he will do to make my vehicle shine line a light! Gary is very personable; he answered all of my questions; he told me how to care for it. Gary even told me about his personal self (I was so happy to know that he is a family man). I am so happy with my beautiful red Durango. I would wholeheartedly recommend Best Auto Salon to anyone who wants to make their vehicles exterior explosively pop!
Barbara Bostic
Gary, thank you so much for making my Durango Tow-n-Go look so amazing! Also, thanks for your hard work on the interior and glass treatments which are fantastic! The photos say it all! Three final words--WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
Ashley Rupert
Gary Best exceeded every expectation. He is truly a leading expert in the auto paint and coatings business. Gary is completely customer focused, provides the highest quality work, pays great attention to every detail, and takes extreme pride in his work. Previously, I was disappointed by other local coating shops. Once Gary completed my first car, I immediately had him redo the other two absolutely worth every penny to have those cars finally done correctly. Please check out all of his awesome reviews and photos of his superior work. Then give Gary a call.
JD Rupert
Great work always a pleasure doing business here.
Larry Jones
Gary was great to work with. Very professional, promptly returns calls or texts and finishes on time. Made this 24 year old look like new! Thank Gary!

CP
This was the best experience with an auto shop I ve had. Very personable and professional and did an amazing job.
Kahlil Stuckey
Gary did my vehicle justice. Car looks better than the day I took it off the showroom floor!
Carrington Harley
Gary is the greatest at his craft and theres no doubt about that. Its always worrying allowing somebody new to work on the vehicle that youve worked hard for. But Gary made it easy by being incredibly transparent and professional. After one conversation with him you can tell he loves what he does and isnt in it just for a quick buck. Im new to the world of ceramic coats, but he took the time to lay everything out and explain it all to me. He explained the whole process beforehand and even sent update pictures throughout the job. Then when it was all finished he walked me through how to maintain and manage my new ceramic coat. In just a few days he turned my daily driver into the car Ive always wanted it to be. I cant recommend him enough. If youve got a vehicle that you take pride in, then this is the place to get your work done.
Dylan Titus
I had a lot of scratches on both fenders of my 2022 Honda. Gary was able to fix the scratches. He a saved me from the headache and the cost of having them repainted. He did a great job!
James Dugan
5 star service with 5 star results!!!!! G was a referral by the local dealership parts dept. I bought my 2006 truck to take oversees and did some restoration paint (very cheap) but it lacked Pop after the voyage back to the states. We changed some of the molding and G did his thing with the paint. Man I can t remember the number of compliments. Simply awesome. I ve taken my 2011 Acadia Denali for the same treatment and my 2021 Ram Big Horn for ceramic paint on the calipers and my 2001 Honda Shadow Ace. You find better service or quality workmanship!
Bruce Jones
I rarely write reviews, but it doesnt get any better than this. Pro Ceramic - Best Auto Salon is AMAZING!!! I did a ton of research when looking to ceramic coat my brand new Caddy. As a person that relies heavily on customer reviews, I thought Garys shop was too good to be true...it wasnt. From my first interaction with Gary, I realized this dude is super passionate about his craft. He made me feel like I was the most important customer in the history of his shop, provided me recommendations, explained his process, and never tried to upsell. And, when I told him I was going to add Paint Protection Film from another shop, Gary offered to coordinate the entire process with the other shop owner...even driving my car to/from the other location. He also provided me daily updates with photos and text messages. Gary is awesome. Seriously. And his work...perfect. I will add ceramic coating to every new vehicle I purchase, and I dont care where I am in the world, I am calling Gary to make it happen. Hes that amazing!
John Sullivan
I took my car to Best Auto Salon so Gary could touch up about a dozen paint chips, some of which were starting to rust (see pics). I chose to take my car to Garys shop based on the Google reviews and the information on his website. His website emphasizes informing the customer and building a relationship with the customer to make sure the customer understands the service that is provided and how to maintain their car after the service. That focus on customer service caught my attention, and it turns out that Gary provides some of the best customer service of any business Ive ever interacted with. On top of that, he is great at what he does. He quickly took care of the rusty spots and blended the touch up paint so well that I practically have to put my nose on the paint to see the touch up. He also fixed the areas the previous owner had touched up and made them nearly unnoticeable. He even found and repaired shallower paint chips that I hadnt noticed. Its amazing what a major difference it made to the appearance of my 7-year-old car all for much less than I anticipated paying. Even though I wasnt there to get my car ceramic coated or have the paint corrected, he gave me and my car same attention and care as if I was there for his top of the line service. I really appreciate that, and Im looking forward to future business with Gary.

I took my brand new Accord to Best Auto Salon for ceramic coating. I was blown away that when my car was returned it looked better than when I received it brand new. I showed a coworker who took his black Tahoe and Corvette and his results were unbelievable. It s more than just the ceramic coating it s the detail in the paint correction that separates Gary s services from the others. I highly recommend Best Auto Salon, if you have a vehicle that you want to shine and preserve, go to Best Auto Salon!

Gary is very quick at ceramic coating, only took him a day and half to get me in and out in no time. The results were amazing he painted my Rims made them look so cool I just love it, looks like she came out of the dealership brand new again. I needed my car cleaned and detailed he went above and beyond to clean the inside of my vehicle which meant a lot to me.

I brought my 2019 Gt350 to Gary and he did a great job. Throughout the whole process Gary kept me informed and all costs were upfront (nothing hidden). Gary provides pictures and videos while he goes through the process of making your vehicle look amazing. Very informative and knows his stuff. If you want your vehicle to look its best, take it to Gary Best (its in the name)!
Charles Gamble
When Gary states he is the best at what he does. Believe him!!! I have never seen someone pay so much attention to details like he does. I am thoroughly pleased with the results of my car and I encourage everyone to check out Mr. Best s work.

I bought a 2013 Taurus used last year that came with a multitude of paint issues - swirls, light scratches, water damage, etc. With the help of Gary Best, my Taurus now looks near mint. He performed an acid wash, paint correction, and ceramic coating on the glass and now the paint color shines through. I absolutely recommend his services - hes thorough, detailed, and explains every step of the way. I plan to go back to him for every vehicle I purchased! Thank you, Mr. Best!

Let me begin by saying my experience with Best Auto Salon was nothing short of amazing. Gary is certainly a master craftsman, and his work is amazing. Gary removed some scratches and swirl marks from my car, and it was truly a night and day difference. If you are in the market for paint correction, scratch removal, please see Gary asap. Ken J

The knowledge and information that Gary provided during the process was incredible. He really knows his stuff. Cant beat the reflection or shine on this beast. Thank you very much Gary.
David Gould
Mr. Best did an amazing job with the clay bar treatment, paint repair and ceramic coating work on my vehicle. He was highly communicative, professional and timely at all times. He even taught me a few things along the way that I truly appreciated. He truly cares about making sure everything is perfect to the highest standards and mostly importantly to his clients expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants the job done correctly the first time.
Ilya Polonchuk
Gary ceramic coated my Jaguar and made it look brand new!! He is so amazing . . . I cant recommend him more highly!!

Gary did an outstanding job with the pro ceramic protection to my truck. His service is quick and he is very friendly. His precision and professionalism are both phenomenal. Great value for excellent quality. I would highly recommend his services!
Charyn Scrivens
5 stars all the way! Best Auto Salon has serviced several of our vehicles. Not only does Gary provide top-notch customer service, he takes it even further to fully educate you on the products and how he does the treatments so you know exactly what is happening. The cars turn out BETTER/BEST than showroom quality, and it has gotten to the point that we dont have the dealer even touch the car to wash or detail it before it leaves the floor because they will scratch it or not even do half as good of a job than Gary will do. We take our brand new vehicles to Gary to have him give the showroom-quality treatment, as he does it like none other. The ceramic treatment is worth it 100%!! Gary is very talented and takes pride in his work and results. Thank you, Gary! We love you and your work! -- Jenn Torney, Rescue Angels of SoMD

Gary, went above and beyond to fix my dealers screw up, truck turned out better than expected, I can tell you he had his work cut out for him on my black SUV !
Sean Shannon
For many years, I have brought every one of my vehicles to Gary to work his magic on. From my Dodge Viper, RAM SRT-10, Prowler, Mercedes CL63 AMG to my current Traverse. Everyone of them came back to me looking better than brand new. Gary only uses quality products that lasts a very long time. He always backs his work up, but it never needs to be returned because it s done perfectly on the first attempt. I recommend his ceramic coating to anyone looking for a mirror finish that makes washing a car easier than it s ever been.
Chris Bikowski
Out of all my experiences with cars Gary has made this one the best . His attention to detail was amazing. It was like purchasing a brand new car . My Ceramic coating is better than I ever could imagine. His customer service is fantastic. There was an instant bond because he listened to what I wanted . If I purchase another vehicle I won t have to look for my sevice. My car has a home with Gary . I say that to say , he treats you like family.
Leland Davis
My 2019 rogue was hit while I was parked and the paint scratched of the right side of front bumper luckily I Knew Gary Best and he took care of the repairs and paint correction.

Gary Best truly does the BEST detailing. He brought my 2019 Taurus to life. Im 71 and cant clean and detail my baby like she needs. Gary did some touches on the paint and a ceramic coating. The results were amazing, looks like she came off the showroom. When I need the car cleaned and detailed I call hes at my door, picks up does his magic and returns looking like new. Very kind and respectful love this guy

I meant Gary recently while having dents removed from a 2021 Honda Ridgeling at another business as he was consulting with owner at the time on another job. Right away I had a good vibe from Gary. Only to confirm just how good this vibe truly was because I now know Gary is honest, a consummate professional, a laser focused perfectionist, and highly skilled dude who cares about his customers and people in general. I wanted Pro Ceramic products and process applied using the Supreme Package to my new Black Honda Accord. And also elected to have paint protection film (PPF) added and the windows tinted. Gary was kind enough to assist me in coordinating these additional services in the week my car was in his care. I picked up my minimally processed (at Gary s suggestion) 2022 Honda Accord from the dealership and dropped it off at Pro Ceramic Best Auto Salon directly. Gary removed the protective shipping wrap and began the process paint correction to prep for PPF. Once the vehicle was prepped, Gary personally delivered my Accord to the next business for the PPF application. He picked it up and delivered my Accord for window tinting. Who does this! Gary Best did it for me and kept me informed daily with pics as did the businesses in his network. Talk about trust, honesty, professionalism, and skilled experience steeped in the old school way of doing business and you ll find Gary Best in the center. Gary did a phenomenal job with the Pro Ceramic process and worth every cent. Black cars are beautiful when they are clean and shiny. Mine is and the Pro Ceramic will keep it that way. I picked up my Accord and left my Ridgeline to have the windows treated with Pro Ceramic and to replace a wind guard. Yes, you guessed it, Gary went over the entire surface of the truck highlighting two areas that required further attention in which he is certainly capable of addressing. Mind you this could only be done after he first cleaned the whole vehicle. Once you deal with Gary you will be educated as an informed consumer on what you are buying and how the process comes to fruition, whether you want to be or not. All love, People! Again, old school dictates you know what and how you are getting-- starting with the honesty of the of the person providing the goods or in this case the service. Not only is Gary s craftsmanship impeccable but so his is recordkeeping and documentation. My Accord is equipped stickers which ties my package to the five-year warranty and Best Auto Salon. I also have a hard copy of the invoice and warranty for my records. Gary went above and beyond the call of duty and words cannot express the gratitude for all that Gary did to make this happen and in less than a week for both vehicles. It is my understanding this simply standard operating procedure at Best Auto Salon. Gary, thank you!

Incredible customer service and professionalism and amazing results. I had paint correction and ceramic coating applied to my 2021 Accord. Gary explained everything up front in great detail and didn t mind answering all of my questions until I was comfortable with moving forward. My car looks brand new. Honestly, it s better than when I purchased it. I LOVE the results and would absolutely recommend Best Auto Salon! Gary is a pleasure to work with!!

I have a 2020 RAV4 . I got it and it had a lot of scratches on the hood of the car actually all over the entire truck. I didn t think any one was gonna be able to fix it so I tried Maaco but I wasn t sure that they would do a good job. So I went to Best Auto Salon. And I have to say my truck is beautiful. It was worth every dime. He made my truck look like new. I would HIGHLY recommend him. He really did a great job on the interior. The ceramic finish was wonderful. I added the photos so you can see how great his work is. I m excited and grateful to God that it turned out so well.
Sharon Wester
Gary is a true professional, hes very much an attention to detail person. I took my Audi R8 Spyder to him for a full detail and ceramic coating on the full exterior and interior. The car came back stunning! Love how easy it is to keep clean now. Pressure washer, foam cannon, pressure washer, blow dry and the car looks new again. Cant recommend him enough. Top notch!
Pat Shupe
Recently bought a new truck didn t want to waste my time on the garbage the dealer sells, done that before. Went with the ceramic coating of my truck, glass and tires along with treatment for my interior. Boy I m glad I did! Truck looks amazing and while Gary was applying it he got out 2 scratches one was pretty deep, can t even see it! Stuff really works! I m amazed and satisfied! Will be bringing my other car soon! Thanks Gary for the great service and advice!

If you are looking for custom paint or ceramic by a person who is a True artist with great customer service, Gary Best is the guy for you! I own a 2008 Suzuki B-King and I was referred to Gary by a friend of mine who also had a custom job done .. and I couldnt before pleased with the outcome! Gary and I had Serveral consultations before I dropped my bike off. After he got a grasp ofmy personal style, he went out of his way to give me what he knew I wanted. He made tons of suggestions and included a couple of surprises I didnt even expect that made the bike even better. He is also sent pics to me to capture the transformation at every step. Great work!
Gordon Spriggs
Had my brand new 2019 Silverado with Gary for paint correction and ceramic coating. Did not expect blemishes and overspray on a brand new truck but guess what he found? 3 years later my truck still looks like it did when I had it done. Phenomenal product and professionalism. Thank you Best Auto Salon for an amazing job!!!! I highly recommend having Best Auto Salon detail and ceramic coat your ride. You won t be disappointed!!!!
Leon Tucker
I would have to say Gary is not only a good friend but I know for a fact his very professional and very dedicated to his work. He s a professional us in every way when it comes to making your car look great. I have a 2011 Audi A5 and I haven t seen anything new looks as great is he made my car look.

Mr. Best and Pro Ceramic LLC were nothing short of amazing ! He is extremely knowledgeable and his customer service supersedes every auto shop I have EVER stepped foot in. Not to mention the work was flawless on my Ford Expedition. 5 Star establishment HANDS DOWN !
Olamide Williams
From the moment I first met Gary,to the day I drove my finished car off the lot, the experience at Pro Ceramic Best Auto Salon was completely customer service centric. Everyone is happy to see you, treats you like you are the only customer they have and never too busy to answer your questions. They take great pride in their work and do not even try to up-sell you . They explain every service, take time to learn your needs and only recommend what will serve you best. BRAVO! So delightful to work with them. Gary knows the product inside out and his sole mission is to be sure you are satisfied. I had my car Ceramic coated, my windows and my wheels done. Each member of their team takes pride in their work and it shows. Thank you so very much. I couldnt be happier. My car looks brand new and now my new car investment is protected! If I could give them 10 stars I would. I already recommended family members to them and will continue to spread the word. The BEST AUTO SALON CERAMIC PRO AROUND!!
Athena
Gary did our two vehicles and my two motorcycles five years ago before we moved to Chicago. Paint correction and ceramic coating and all of the vehicles. It s amazing what this stuff does. I can still wash off the car with just water and see the beads just slide off. Excellent work, service and price. Especially with the used vehicle prices these days, you want to retain the resale value of your vehicles as much as possible and I look at the cost as an investment that pays itself off multiple times. And Gary always checked in to make sure we were happy even 800 miles away!
Turkishexpress
Ive had 2 vehicles done by Gary in the past few months. Both vehicles received a 2 step and full ceramic & Both were beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Gary s services to anyone looking for high quality work.
Tyler Padgett
Thanks for bringing my cars/trucks back to life Gary! Years of trying to take care of my cars in a town home community was truly an uphill battle. The weather, the sun, trees, leaves, kids playing ball in the street, and of course people walking beside your car constantly scratching it was frustrating to say the least. Now that I am in a new neighborhood and have a garage I knew it was now or never with trying to preserve all of my NEW cars with the hard earned money I spent on it. Gary has helped me many times in the past. Too many to count. He has done services on all SIX of my vehicles. Anything from smoked tail lamps to painting my car when it was destroyed from hail damage. My favorite service has been the ceramic coating of my last few cars. I love the peace of mind of having that extra layer of protection when having my car exposed to the elements. It also makes it much easier to clean and maintain that wet look. Being a martial arts instructor I am super detail oriented. I am trained to see flaws in everything. It is a blessing but it also is a curse sometimes. :) I know Gary will take care of me and pay attention to details I may not even see myself. On top of him being a great at what he does, he is a family man and a good friend. Every penny I have INVESTED in my cars with Gary has been worth it and I would recommend anyone who truly cares about their vehicle to have your car serviced by Gary.
Mike Wilson
I used Best Auto Salon for the latest in ceramic coating which included paint correction. The results were astounding. What a transformation considering the level of acid rain spotting that were on both the paint and windows on my 2019 Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the end result and the outstanding customer service and attention to detail. Gary Best the owner, and technician was both professional and explained the process in great detail. I strongly recommend Best Auto Salon for all of. Your Ceramic Coating and Paint Correction needs.
Jim Sharp
Gary did an exceptional job on my car. He painted the calipers and was very professional. He l always kept me in the loop to what was going on and where we were at in the process. He sent before, during and after pics so I could see it before it was even completed. He even picked me up and dropped me off and we had great conversation. He is customer oriented and takes care not of just your vehicle but you as a customer and I truly enjoyed the experience. He knows what he is doing so if you need your calipers painted or ceramic coating done to your vehicle to protect his shop is the one to go to. He is always learning which is great for his customers and he puts the customer first. Thanks Gary for everything you did and I pray that the Lord blesses you as you continue to operate your business and in life. Rex
