Went in to get my car inspected for my car insurance, the guy was super friendly caught him the the middle of detailing another car. Quick and easy.
Great service!!!! My car needed a serious cleaning and it had several really old stains. The car seriously feels brand new.
Owner was professional, outgoing, fair & attentive. Definitely worth the trip. If you support small business you should support this small business. I never met this young man before, but after talking with him you can tell he works hard & cares about his craft. If I could give more stars I would
Went here for the first time for an inspection/photo thing for insurance. I called to ask if I needed an appointment and he said not necessary, come on in and it’s a quick lil thing. And that was the truth!Wasn’t there longer than 5 minutes. He’s a new owner, I’m afraid I forgot his name but he was incredibly professional and friendly. This is definitely the place I will come every year. Thanks for your wonderful service :)
Long story short, I traded in my truck at the dealership for a used truck. After purchasing the truck, I come to find out that it had a lingering smoke smell in it! I am not a smoker so this was driving me insane! I took it back to the dealership 2 times to get the smell out and they did a poor job doing so. At this point, I lost all hope until I found south elmwood Detail. From the start, Nick was absolutely great! He was very understating of my situation and very detailed with the procedures he would take to remove the smell. 1 week has passed and the smell is completely gone! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the buffalo area!
Called to see if he could take pictures of our new vehicle for insurance and he said to stop in he was there 8 to 4. Wonderful guy, very friendly and fast service. I had called another place and they couldn,t get us in till tomorrow or the middle of the month.
Nick was very friendly and did a good job with my car. Will return.
Went and got a photo inspection done for my insurance. Super quick and easy. I forgot the guy name but he was super friendly and helpful. I will be coming back in the future.
Nick is exactly the kind of friendly, charismatic, and passionate person you want to have working on your car. I only stopped by to have some insurance photos taken, but Im that time he made such an impression on me that I will be taking both my vehicles to him in the future, despite him being a bit out of the way from where I live. Looking at other reviews, Im sure he is as diligent with his detailing work as he is with his customer service.
Was their for car pics for Insurance I believe I spoke with the owner good guy funny dude definitely cares for his customers definitely coming to try their detailing out I would recommend this place for your insurance pictures and the detailing!!
Went for a insurance photo inspection and not only did I not have to make an appointment, he had me out of there super quick! Great experience . Will be back in the future!
Photo inspection for insurance company. Very professional. In and out in less than ten minutes. Nice owner.
Just got my truck ceramic coated by nick last year and just brought it back for a spring cleaning but the coating held up amazingly totally recommend south elmwood detail
Had to get my car inspected for a new insurance policy and south Elmwood detail got me in and out quickly. Highly recommend!!
The new ownership is refreshing. i had to get my car a photo inspection and the owner was prompt and friendly.
Honestly I was so pleasantly surprised on how awesome this place was! I never have good service when I go to places like this. When I walked in Nick took care of everything, he was friendly and helpful. He took care of my car right away knowing I didn’t have much time to wait! You got yourself a customer for life. Check this place out!
The owner of the car dealership that I work at has me take our cars to Nick at South Elmwood detail. which is about every other day.I have known Nick for quite awhile and not only does he do the best detailing job but he is just a great guy. I have known him for years. I know quality when I see it because I also detail cars.Do yourself a favor and go get your car cleaned by Nick.You wont be disappointed.
The owner/operator, Nick, did a fantastic job detailing my car. His attention to detail and customer service are both top-notch. Not only does my car look better than it did when it rolled off the showroom floor three years ago, but Nick accommodated my late-night drop-off, and kept me informed of my cars status throughout the next day. He worked for, and subsequently took over the business from, long-time auto detailing proprietor Joe Kennedy, and it really shows. Turning your keys over to someone else is tough, but knowing the business owner is the one working on your vehicle makes it easier.
South Elmwood Detail did an amazing job with my Honda SUV. It was like brand new and it has made keeping my interior easier to keep up with. Customer service was great Nick was responsive to my emails and had my car done in less time than they estimated. Definitely worth the cost and I will return for more details.
Very good customer service does a really great job on your car. Prices are high but well worth it
Pretty chill dude. Took for inspection, finished in matter of minutes. Would love to come often for more services .
Nick did a great job photo inspecting my car
I recently relocated to Buffalo and was fortunate enough to stumble upon an excellent auto detailing shop at South Elmwood and W. Tupper. The business is owned and operated by Nick who has over 15 years experience in detailing and it shows. Ive been there on a few different occasions and on each visit he seems to be working on a different service for customers (interior, shampooing, engine detailing, chrome cleaning). Not only is Nick skilled at his craft, but his emphasis on customer service is what separates him in this line of business. He is flexible on his service options and reasonably priced. If youre looking for quality detailing performed by someone you can trust, South Elmwood Detail is the place to go.
Need pics of your car for insurance? Was super quick and simple at this location.
Went for car inspection for my insurance, the person that did my inspection was super chill and friendly. The place give great customer service.
Great Job!!! I have had the car 3 years and never once even vacuumed it out. When I picked it up the inside looked brand new. They went as far as to clean out my disaster of a trunk and put items into bags. My hood was scrapped up and they buff that out for me. I would recommend taking your car in and having it look like new.
This is not the same business as Joe Kennedy Auto Detailing. Seems like this new place may have taken over the building, but they arent matching the service or quality.Youre better off contacting the business that used to be here. This new place is just trying to capitalize on the previous businesses customer base.Call Joe Kennedy Auto Detailing, the business that used to be here. Hell come to you and detail your car.
Great experience dealing with Nick, his customer service was excellent and he was able to squeeze me in when everyone else wanted me to wait 7+ Days. I would recommend this place to anybody! Please come check this place out!
Absolutely the best cleaning of my interior, and exterior shine Ive ever had done to my vehicle. You can tell that Nick, the owner, takes pride in his work. I would send anyone to him.
Super friendly owner. Very professional and does outstanding work.
South Elmwood Detail is amazing. Great service. Check it out!!
Best detail I have ever got I recently got a used Audi and it felt used I was finding stuff left behind from the last owner but now it is so clean it looks and feels new to me wheels look amazing the paint looks like a mirror it’s also nice to know that they now do hand car washed too the paint turned out so good after being buffed that I am thinking about a ceramic coating to really protect it thanks for all the hard work you put into my car it truly looks better than new
Nick was awesome! Great communication and highly accommodating, got me in right as he was wrapping up and still managed to fit me in with a smile, highly recommend.
Very Professional business. Extra super good Customer Service, and very fast service. Keep it going!! Recommended 1000%.
Needed pictures of my car for my insurance.. They Did them fast and accurate.. plus gave us a discount certificate for detailing.. Will be possibly going to them during the winter..
I came here for my Geico photo inspection and was in and out in 5 mins. It was super convenient to be able to text them to let them know when I was coming.
Nick is so professional and he did such a good job cleaning my Hyundai Elantra. It looks like a new car again! Thank you Nick

Nick was extremely accommodating and got me in and out for my car inspection promptly!
Very nice workers and the Groupon is a good deal thank you for the deep cleaning on my aunts Toyota Solara 🤠
Nick was fantastic! Could not recommend his shop more! Quick, friendly, affordable!
He’s great, super dedicated and does amazing work
This place does a phenomenal job. Its like a brand new car every time
Fast, Friendly and Professional I would definitely recommend
🙃
Joe Kennedys is by far the very best! After a long winter and a car full of salt and dog hair....its 100000% back to the way I picked it up when I bought it from the dealer! Amazing polished finish to the paint and the inside is equally amazing! I give Joe and his team my full endorsement I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to give him a call!
Nick did an amazing job detailing my car this is the only place I will go
Over rated , paid Groupon $150 for exterior and interior detail then they wanted to charge me another $80 extra,because I have a mid size SUZ for a wash and vacuum that I could have gotten at Delta sonic for $30 🤔 what a scam 😡 Dont waste your time or money 😳 Go to Delta Sonic and save your money💸
I had a fantastic experience here. They really know what theyre doing and the pride they have for their work shows through in the finished product.As an owner of a black car, I live with the daily frustration of knowing how beautiful my car can be without getting to see it. They brought it back to life, looking better than the day I drove out of the showroom.
I am shocked at the quality of the product I got back when I went to pick up my car after I dropped it off for a full professional detail. All they did was wipe some things down and missed cleaning everything else. I literally mean everything else. There were still fries and bottle caps under the seats. When I looked my car over before I paid I started to point out everything that was not cleaned and his reply was just take the car and go, you don’t owe me anything. Well if it was not a huge inconvenience getting the car there I would of just brushed it off and called it a loss. Now I am making sure everyone else that reads this does not do business with these jokers. Wasted time and money.......
Honestly really fast service wonderful
Nick did an amazing job detailing my truck
They did an awesome job on our cars
Good Service, friendly, and very opened minded goes beyond the call of duty, ty
Bought a 300 deal for 69 dollars and only got a car wash, inside was not cleaned and the outside was not that great, I took the tip with me !
Joe Kennedy is awesome! Brought my car in and when I picked it up it looked as good as the day I bought it.
LOL. I got my car cleaned out by them in August and I’m still satisfied. I really wanted to get it done again. So i bought the Groupon. I tried to schedule an appointment but the guy told me there was a 3 week waiting period. 3 weeks? Like damn? Who wants to wait that long? I use my car to drive for Lyft.They are a really good service. But they are horrible with time management which is kind of annoying. So, if you want to wait a month for a clean car make sure to go here!
Great experience! Black on black Yukon Denali looks in showroom condition after the full detail. Ill be back!
Great service, but didnt have a credit card machine
Professional and timely! Nice place, and easy to get to.
They took my 50 year old classic and made her spiffy again
Above and beyond all expectations. The inside of my 4 year old car looks brand new again. No sign of dog hair, messes from kids or all the spilled coffee. I’ll be booking the girlfriends car in soon.
Quick Friendly Knowledgeable I will definitely be coming here again
Used a Groupon and was pleased with the results overall. They missed the wind screen but my tire rims look better than they have in years with the exception that they buffed off the BMW colored logo on all the rims! Paid $100 extra for buffing as the Groupon was only for exterior and interior without buffing. I was expecting a bit more based on what the owner said when I booked the appointment. In his defense he did call to follow up after and I have not returned his call.
Great Service very accommodating. I recommend
Waiting for the bus...but I heard good things.
Joe, Kathy & Nick do absolutely the best Auto Detail, Buffing, waxing I have ever witnessed. I have all the tools to detail my cars, just cant do it as well as they can. Rims are completely cleaned as new, mine are tough ones, the BMW BBS web two piece style with titanium screws. The interior details are well done; the vents for AC, the wood trim polished. the vinyl seat track runners; door jams, both the car part and door part. People compliment the way the car looks a year after I had Joe detail it. Joe has done my Porsche, Two BMWs, Two SAABS,
Really nice place
Great experience. Quick and efficient!!!
Great people. Great deals.
Wonderful job done!
Service provided is service requested
Best in the Business!!!!!

2022-02-23I want to firstly take this opportunity to sincerely Thank the owner, Nick, for taking the time to squeeze me into his otherwise exceptionally busy day for him and his business. Really appreciate your time and consideration!I have to say, In these times of staffing shortages, increased labor, parts, and services costs, and at a time when most businesses are busier than ever, we are lucky to have a local business owner like Nick that offers such unconditional and exceptional service towards his customers and patrons alike.I am truly grateful for his professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail that he provided to my vehicle.I went to South Elmwood Detail and spoke with Nick and at the onset, I never anticipated that he would be able to accommodate my request on such short notice. He not only accommodated me, but he exceeded my expectations with his service, professionalism, and attention to detail.I can absolutely and unreservedly recommend and endorse both the owner Nick and South Elmwood Detail as a whole, for any vehicle detailing needs that you may be in the market for. I am truly grateful for the workmanship and service that I have experienced here and they now have a customer for life!Thanks again!!

2022-05-07Phenomenal job!! My car literally looks brand new inside and out. I have spilled tea so many times on the front passenger seat it looked like someone peed on it (no joke). I also have 2 dogs. The seats are immaculate. The owner Nick is a lovely person. Added bonus, he’s about 2 blocks away from me so I can walk home and back. If I went with one of the ‘big guys’ I’d have to take an Uber. I also firmly believe in supporting small business owners.

2022-06-21I stopped in for a vehicle insurance inspection and the owner dropped what he was doing to take care of me - Excellent customer care is hard to find these days! I’ll definitely be returning here for a detail in the near future!

2022-05-18Best detail shop around I had the previous owner of this location detail my car at my house and I was over charged and the job wasn’t good at all. I went here and had nick detail my car and he fixed it to make it look new again. Thanks for the hard work will definitely be back
