About Apollo Auto Spa

Where High-Quality Craftsmanship Meets Decades of Automotive Expertise

Apollo Auto Spa was built on nearly four decades of hands-on experience in professional auto detailing, paint correction, and premium vehicle protection. What began in 1986 as a fascination with perfecting automotive finishes has evolved into a trusted Bay Area detailing service known for precision, honesty, and true craftsmanship.Founder Sean began his career in Southern California body shops, where he was drawn not to basic repairs, but to the meticulous art of finish work — restoring clarity, depth, and gloss to automotive paint. That early passion became a lifelong dedication to mastering expert paint correction, ceramic coatings, and automotive finish restoration.Today, Apollo Auto Spa delivers premium detailing and protection services with the same care, discipline, and attention to detail that defined its beginnings.

Our Story

Apollo Auto Spa was founded on the belief that automotive care should never be rushed or treated as a commodity. From the earliest days in Southern California’s competitive body-shop environment, Sean developed his skillset by working hands-on with real vehicles, real paint systems, and real challenges — learning through repetition, precision, and high standards.

Over the decades, that foundation expanded into advanced correction methods, long-term protective technologies, and a deep understanding of how to properly restore and preserve vehicle finishes. After relocating to the Bay Area, Apollo Auto Spa continued to grow by serving private owners, collectors, professionals, and families who wanted more than a basic wash — they wanted their vehicles truly cared for.

What has never changed is the commitment to doing the job correctly, safely, and with pride in every result.

Our Philosophy

At Apollo Auto Spa, detailing is not a “quick service.” It is a craft built on patience, technique, and respect for every surface worked on.

Our work is guided by four core principles:

• Do it right or don’t do it at all

• Respect the vehicle and its materials

• Deliver real, measurable quality

• Be transparent, honest, and accountable

This philosophy is what allows us to consistently deliver premium auto detailing, advanced ceramic coatings, and expert paint correction with results that last.

Experience & Expertise

Long before ceramic coatings became a mainstream service, Apollo Auto Spa recognized their value as a true protective technology. Since the early 2010s, Sean has worked with professional-grade coating systems, continually refining the application process as products and chemistry have evolved.

Today, that experience is combined with modern equipment, professional techniques, and decades of finish-work knowledge to deliver a level of quality that cannot be learned from short training courses or certifications alone.
