TDS (The Detail Shop) at a glance

Customers frequently praise the facility for its professional staff, clear communication, and fair pricing, noting that employees take time to explain services like window tinting, ceramic coating, and paint protection film. The business is often described as punctual and accommodating, with many clients highlighting the high quality of the final work and the clean condition of their vehicles upon return. One recurring criticism involves wrap services, where a reviewer reported that a chrome delete installation required multiple attempts and remained misaligned, suggesting a lack of attention to detail in that specific area.

I can’t say enough good things about the service I receive every time I bring my car in, whether it’s for a wash or my annual ceramic maintenance. The quality of the work and the customer service are consistently outstanding, and they never disappoint! A special shout-out to Ty, who truly goes above and beyond. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does by the care, pride, and effort he puts into his work. It’s refreshing to see someone who takes so much pride in providing excellent service. Great work, great people, and consistently great results! I highly recommend them!

Brought my 2018 Honda Accord to TDS. Can't say enough great things about Pat and the TDS team. This car is my daily driver and gets use. Pat helped me identify the optimum ceramic paint protection coating. I am extremely happy with the end result. My investment is protected and looks amazing! I'd give them a sixth star if it was possible. Thank you TDS!! Appreciate you.

Pat and the team at The Detail Shop do amazing work and have great customer service. The PPF, Ceramic Coat, and Tint were all installed amazingly and the car looks amazing. At the 2 week check in, I mentioned some tiny dots I assumed were debris under the tint. They were very tiny and part of me was worried I was being dramatic. Without hesitation, they pulled it into the shop to work on it without getting at all defensive or making me feel like I was being nitpicky. As it turns out, it was a manufacturing defect on the car itself, so they removed the tint, allowed me to get it serviced under the warranty, and then reinstalled the tint without any need for additional payment or giving me a hard time. They were super flexible with my work schedule for car drop off and pickups and were very communicative for the whole time. I would absolutely go back here for work on any future vehicles I have.

Absolutely love the tint job TDS did for me! Pat were very quick to get back to me and he was even able to get me in the same day. I’m extremely happy with how it looks.

I recently purchased a used luxury SUV that was in great shape, but I wanted the front driver and passenger windows tinted to match the rear windows, along with a full detail. I live in Milford, CT, so I searched Google for the best-reviewed shops in the area, and TDS consistently came out on top. I called and spoke with someone who was extremely helpful and took the time to explain their services and answer my questions. After that conversation, I was sold. TDS was able to get me an appointment just a few days later, and I couldn’t be happier with how the SUV turned out. The window tints look great and match perfectly, and the detailing work was excellent. I’ll definitely be bringing my SUV back to TDS for future detailing and any other tint or body work. Great service, great communication, and excellent results. Highly recommend!

Return visit to the BEST detail customization shop in the CT area! Brought back my 200S for redo of tint and I am never disappointed! PLEASE check them out! 100% you’ll have an amazing experience. Third time to this amazing detail shop! Mike is so positive and makes your vehicle feel like it is his own. Mike has the magic touch. My Chrysler 200 S and our Audi TT came out beautiful.This shop is outstanding! We took our newly purchased Range Rover Evoque in for some cosmetic upgrades. The look of our suv turned out AMZING!!! We are now bringing our other two vehicles back for similar cosmetic updates. Loyal customer for life! Mike is very detailed in his explanation of what he plans to do and makes you understand everything clearly!
