Details on the Detailer Who What Why

Hi I'm Dave Parker and owner of AutoMates. Originally from Virginia I’ve been a Florida resident since 2005 and love the cars and car culture that is here. I regularly attend cars and coffee meet ups and a member of ACCA and MBCA.

I chose the name AutoMates to mean - All Who Love Cars, Clean Cars & Car Culture. With 20+ years of detailing experience, I decided to start my own business in 2021. Being a Skills Validated, IDA Certified, Detailer (1 of only 3 in Fort Myers Cape Coral) I continue to attend various detail product courses and trainings and hold many accolades and certificates. Detailing to me is not a job but a passion and believe you will see this in the results.

I only use industry proven quality products and equipment, but I believe the most important piece of equipment is the detailer. I treat every customer like a dear friend and every vehicle as if it were my own. I have one goal - To Exceed Your Expectations.

I encourage you to reach out with any questions on paint, products, process , and pricing. Always happy to discuss your desired results and provide you with honest real and achievable vehicle assessment.

Auto Detailing Standards That Shine Above The Rest

Just as cars change year to year detailing methods change alongside. Not all car paint is equal. It varies in thickness hardness and not just by manufacturer but also by model. This must be taken into consideration especially when it comes to paint correction.


With AutoMates, you’re choosing way more than just a detailing service, you’re choosing a company that upholds the highest standards of professionalism and quality. AutoMates also has the skills to back it up. Alumni of the rigorous Detailing Success training and a skills verified certified detailer by the International Detailing Association (IDA).
