About

It started with my own cars.

I’m Lucas. Before North Van Detailing existed, I was just the guy who detailed his own cars - properly, obsessively, every panel. Friends noticed. Then family. The requests kept coming until it stopped making sense to call it a favour, and North Van Detailing was born.

That’s how it started, and over seven years later I’m still working on the North Shore. I studied marketing at Capilano University - a BBA - and trained at Rinse Lab, but the real education has been years of other people’s driveways, one vehicle at a time.

I’m a sole operator. There’s no crew, no rotating staff - every vehicle that gets booked is my own work, start to finish. And I come to your home or your workplace - water and power is all we need, and your car never has to go anywhere.

- Lucas, Owner

How I work

Before I pack up, I walk the car - every panel, every seat. If something isn’t right, I make it right before I leave.

That’s not a policy written by someone else - it’s just how I run my own name. Whether it’s a hand wash on a GT3 RS or a coating on a classic Mercedes, when one person does all the work, there’s nowhere for a missed spot to hide, and I like it that way.

Ready when you are.

By appointment only, anywhere on the North Shore. You provide water and power - I bring everything else.
