Self owned and operated St. Augustine

Your driveway is the shop.

Surface One Auto Care is a mobile detailing crew run by Travis Bassa.

We bring the work to your doorstep, your workplace or wherever the vehicle sits: an office lot, a storage park, a marina trailer spot.

No drop-off, no waiting room, no ride home to arrange.

Inside, outside, protection and repair work for paint and headlights, done by hand where you park.

“A higher standard. Same dedication to quality.” That is the whole idea behind Surface One Auto Care.

The reflection test Correction // Coating

Read the skyline in your paint.

Good paint works like a mirror. Tap through what the crew does to it, and watch the old city come back into focus.

The reflection test An illustration of the St. Augustine skyline at dusk, with the fort, the old city towers, the Bridge of Lions and the lighthouse, reflected in the black paint of a car hood. The reflection changes from blurred by swirl marks, to sharp after paint correction, to sharp with water beading after a ceramic coating.

An illustration, not a photo: the fort, the old city towers, the Bridge of Lions and the lighthouse.

Road under a canopy of live oaks and Spanish moss in coastal Florida

Life on the coast

Salt air. Beach sand. Lovebug season.

Everything that makes St. Augustine a good place to live is hard on a car. That is the work.

Representative photo: a live oak canopy in coastal Florida.

Built for the coast What we fix

Four things the coast does to a car.

  • Salt air

    Salt settles on paint, trim and glass. A coating keeps it from sticking. Ceramic coating

  • Beach sand

    Sand rides home in shoes and towels and packs into carpet and seat tracks. Interior detail

  • Year-round sun

    UV dulls clear coat and turns headlight lenses yellow over time. Headlight restoration

  • Lovebugs and pollen

    Lovebug seasons and spring pollen etch paint if they sit. Exterior wash and wax
