Please bear with us! Our website is going through some renovations.
The Auto Groom has over 35 years of experience in the car care industry. Our family-owned business takes great pride in our work, and through employee training and procedures The Auto Groom focuses on customer service and satisfaction. We take care of our customers and aim to make your experience with The Auto Groom an enjoyable one.
We recommend that our customers have their cars completely detailed, inside and out, wash it every week or two, or as needed, and wax the vehicle at each changing of the seasons. Leather conditioner should be applied at least twice a year—this will prevent the leather from drying and cracking.
You should have your car cleaned once a week to keep dust, road dirt, mud, and salt off your car.
Please click here to see a complete list of our services.
A regular inside and out cleaning includes vacuuming the interior, light, environmentally safe, hypoallergenic cleansers, a quick wipe down of main surfaces, and window cleaning.
A shampoo, on the other hand, includes a more thorough, deep cleaning to remove stains and lingering odors—for the shampoo, in addition to vacuuming, we use a variety of brushes to remove stains, making sure to reach all crevices, and we use heavy-duty, environmentally safe, hypoallergenic cleaning products to rejuvenate, refresh, and clean all of the main interior surfaces of your vehicle.
With the Carpet Summer Mat Shampoo add-on service, we will deep clean your summer mat(s).
While with the Carpet Flooring Section Shampoo add-on service we will deep clean the carpeted area under the mat if salt or other stain causing substances have gotten past the mats and stained the actual floor of the vehicle in a particular section (i.e., driver’s side, passenger side, rear right, rear left, or trunk/rear).

Waxing: This process thoroughly cleans, shines and protects a car’s finish.
Polishing: This process thoroughly cleans your car and then restores the paint to its original shine. It removes many blemishes and minor scratches, as well as oxidation. The results are often dramatic and we highly recommend regular polishing of your vehicle. This should be done 2 to 6 times a year, depending on your vehicle and lifestyle, (depending on whether it’s parked outside or inside, whether you’re a weekend skier or cottager, own a dark colour vehicle, etc.).
Please note that both waxing and polishing are good for your vehicle and can be done as often as you like with no adverse effects to your vehicle’s finish.
Compounding / Buffing: This process repairs damage to your vehicle’s finish. Buffing and compounding removes deeper scratches, staining, acid rain, industrial fallout, brake dust, heavy oxidation and the like. The results are rather amazing. Most people aren’t aware of the things that can be fixed using this method and end up repainting their vehicle unnecessarily. A car’s finish can withstand being buffed several times over its life. This is a repair step for a damaged finish, which is followed up with polish and wax. Sometimes, to repair minor defects in shipping or handling by the dealer, new cars are buffed without your knowledge.
Water Sanding/Wet Sanding/Colour Sanding: This is a very delicate process. When you have a scratch too deep for buffing to get out, the last hope to save your original paint job is wet sanding. If this doesn’t work, you might need to use touch up paint or have the vehicle partially or entirely repainted.
