Ian from Karman quoted a very fair price, so I dropped my car off at his workshop. Within a couple of hours, he had completely sorted the damage. My alloy now looks brand new again. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be using him again. Thanks

We are a family independent business that are passionate about your vehicle. We offer many services to help keep your car on the road keeping your vehicle on the road.

We’re based in Folkestone, Kent, but we cover surrounding areas. You can come to us, or we can come to you!

Our valeting and detailing service is available mobile or at our studio but all smart repair, alloy wheel repairs, customisation, wheel protectors are only available at our studio.

We operate a strict appointment-only policy, to ensure that we are not distracted while preparing vehicles. Also, because we are both mobile and static, often no one will be at the studio. Call us or email us to make an appointment.

For most vehicles, a professional full detail is recommended every 4 to 6 months to maintain protection, value, and appearance. We’d recommend a more regular detail for daily drivers or cars exposed to harsh, salty, or winter conditions – typically every 3 months.

We have various valeting and detailing packages to suit your requirements and budget. Take a look at our packages for more information.

It really depends on the package and services you opt for. Basic maintenance can take just a couple of hours, with more intensive works requiring much longer.
