    Astounding work. My 2024 Elantra looked years old after a month. NIO made it look exactly the way I bought it. Communicative throughout and gave great tips to maintain the car. I’ll be back regularly.

    He made my 2012 Acura look brand new! Professional, thorough, and attentive to every detail: removed ‘permanent’ stains and rust on my wheels, and suggested extra coating. Highly recommend.

    Awesome job detailing my SUV at home. Steam-cleaned seats and took his time inside and out. Better than big companies. Highly recommend!

About

Started in a driveway in 2022.

NIO Detailing began as a weekend hobby when I was in high school. I detailed my own car first. Then a neighbor asked for help, and another wanted a full detail and a few light scratches taken out. Word spread from there, and I've now looked after more than 100 vehicles across Howard County.

It's still just me. I do every detail myself and fit appointments around my classes, so the person you book is the person who shows up. Thanks for trusting a local, student-run business.
