Upper Echelon Auto Detailing

"Personalized, Professional Automotive Detailing"

About Us

At Upper Echelon Auto Detailing, every vehicle we touch tells a story—and so do we. Established in 1998 in Jacksonville, FL, our locally-owned business was born from a deep passion for car care and a commitment to excellence. What started as a dream quickly became a trusted name in the community, known for unmatched attention to detail and customer service that goes above and beyond.

Founder Eugene Thomas served in the U.S. Air Force before spending four years working for a company. But it was his lifelong love for car detailing—and the satisfaction of seeing a vehicle transformed—that inspired him to take a leap of faith and start his own business. With a growing family and a desire to shape his own future, Eugene built Upper Echelon from the ground up, guided by the belief that quality work and genuine care make all the difference.

Today, Upper Echelon specializes in ceramic coating, scratch removal, and paint correction, offering expert services that protect and enhance your vehicle’s finish. We also provide interior detailing, headlight restoration, steam cleaning, wet sanding, waxing, polishing, disinfecting, and more—all performed with precision and pride.

We work strictly by appointment, ensuring every vehicle receives the time and care it deserves. Our team is licensed, insured, and deeply knowledgeable about every service we offer. But more than anything, we’re driven by one thing: customer satisfaction. From the first call to the final reveal, we’re here to deliver results that exceed expectations and leave you loving your car all over again.

I just picked up my vehicle after leaving with Upper Echelon Auto Detailng!! This was no normal detail job. I had gotten prices to repaint the vehicle and to redo the interior.! my vehicle is 20 years old so I wanted to restore it. The quotes were about $30,000.!! Upper echelon cleaned the vehicle inside and out got the upholstery in great condition and remove so many scratches from the outside and restored the look of the trim which was ugly gray! Now it is shiny black! For under $10,000 my vehicle looks almost like it was restored Gene and Upper Echelon Detailing are top-notch. I’m extremely happy with the job they did.!!!

Is ceramic coating worth it?

Absolutely. Ceramic coating provides long-term protection against UV rays, dirt, and water while giving your vehicle a glossy, showroom-quality finish. It’s one of our most popular services.
