Testimonials
I’ve been coming to Simon’s for a decade, religiously.
I’m very particular about many things in life and my vehicle, and once it looks that good it really makes my day. One of the joys of Simon’s is having known them so long, working with them for so long. I feel absolutely confident rolling in the car, dropping off the keys, being able to take off, and no fuss no muss. They’re fantastic, trust them implicitly, and they do a phenomenal job.
Combined Insurance
I feel like I have a relationship individually with everybody here.
So really friendly, family-like atmosphere. Very clean shop, very detailed, people are very kind, the area itself is very sterile. Couches are really comfortable, internet is great. So I just sit back and relax when they wash my car, and you know when I need a detail once or twice a year I pretty much drop the car off and it comes to me like it’s brand new.

FAQ
A ceramic coating is a kind of high-tech invisible shield for automotive paint. They physically bond with the clear coat, which, unlike wax, makes them incredibly durable and long lasting. They provide amazing gloss, extreme water repellency, and years of durability. And some, like Dr. Beasley’s Nano-Resin Pro coating, offer self-healing properties. We recommend this kind of protection for every Simon’s client — this is the “wax” of the future.
Ceramic coatings are a wonderful way to protect your paint, our most cost affective coating will last as long as 3-5 years, with our most expensive lasting up to 25 years.
As Dr. Beasley’s in-house detailing studio, we exclusively offer their Nano-Resin line for our ceramic coating packages in Chicago. Our paintwork correction services also use exclusively Dr. Beasley’s Nano Surface Primers, which in addition to removing defects also ensure a long lasting bond between the coating and the paint.
We do — Dr. Beasley’s offers warranties on many of our coating services, with some lasting up to 25 years. We’re happy to both register the warranties and assist in maintaining them through our Membership program, which provides free maintenance services for ceramic coated vehicles.

Simon’s is my go-to spot to keep my baby looking like new. I had a ceramic coating installed, which will keep my A4 shining like glass and repelling contaminants for 7+ years. Super impressed and always receive compliments on how great my car looks thanks to Simon’s!Another Outstanding Job
Had full ceramic put on new X5 int/ext/glass/wheels. Car looks awesome! Got me in/out 1 day. Perfect job! I am sure others are out there but Simon’s crew and quality is worth every penny. Don’t be tempted to go anywhere else. They pay attention to all the details.Ceramic Coating Maintenance
