Parkway sap and spots worth keeping. We work at your curb and you never move.
Xentra comes to Crown Heights — the brownstone blocks off Eastern Parkway, and curbside spots along Nostrand and Franklin. Our van carries its own water and power, so nothing is needed from the building. Exterior work starts at $250 and a full interior-and-exterior at $350.
Four steps. No back-and-forth. No appointments at a shop.
Xentra Auto is a fully mobile detail studio — no shop, no drop-off, no waiting room. We carry the equipment, the water, the power, and the trained hands of a high-end shop straight to your driveway, office, or curb, anywhere in NYC. You hand over the keys; we hand back a flawless car.
Fully-equipped mobile units — not a guy with a bucket.
No hookups needed. We're 100% self-contained.
Home, office, garage, curbside. You don't move the car.
From a hand wash to full ceramic coating and PPF — all on-site.
Professional-grade work, panel by panel.
Xentra Auto brings full-service mobile detailing to Crown Heights — we come to you, so there’s no shop drop-off and no waiting room. In Crown Heights the parking is a mix of brownstone driveways, permit street spots, and newer building garages, and your car wears every bit of it. We bring the shop to your block off Eastern Parkway instead of making you chase one down.
With Eastern Parkway traffic on one side and the tree canopy over it, brake dust and acidic sap land on the same parked car — and both etch in if they sit. Chemical decontamination is what removes them.
Everything from a quick exterior to a full ceramic install runs in Crown Heights. Most bookings are owners who park on the parkway blocks and want protection that makes that sustainable.
Crown Heights has its own way of beating up a car. We've seen all of it.
Eastern Parkway service roads fill up completely and everyone parks tight. Door-edge transfer and kerbed wheels are the standard damage.
The parkway is treated hard all winter and the spray reaches every car on the service roads. Brine settles into the seams and stays.
The lines running through here drop metallic dust on cars parked beneath them. It bonds to clear coat and needs a chemical iron treatment.
Real products, real techniques — and the mix that actually comes up around here.
What we actually do in Crown Heights is shaped by what's parked here and what the street does to it. Door dings and paint transfer come standard with Crown Heights parking. We polish out the marks and can coat the paint so the next scrape wipes off.
Ceramic coating is the top booking around here, and much of it goes onto EVs — soft single-stage paint that marks easily and benefits most from a hard sacrificial layer over it.
Paint correction on that paint uses finishing compounds and softer pads, so defects come out without new swirls going in and the panel is sealed afterwards.
Full detail with Alcantara-safe interior work is the other big one near Eastern Parkway — brushed, never wiped, plus EV-safe chemistry throughout.
The full menu — all 27 services — is available curbside or in your garage near Eastern Parkway.
Parkway blocks here run on family cars and a fast-rising EV count.
Model 3s and Ioniqs left along the parkway. Soft paint under canopy sap and brake dust together, which is what coatings solve.
Pilots, Explorers and Highlanders doing school and weekends. Cabins take the brunt, so extraction leads most bookings here.
Accords and Camrys held for years on these blocks. Etch from sap and droppings rather than swirl marks is the usual correction.
Crown Heights clients work with IDA Certified, Gtechniq Accredited, and Gyeon Certified techs. Standard of care doesn't change with the vehicle.
Crown Heights drivers live in their cars — school runs, weekend laps, grocery hauls. Crumbs work into the seat tracks, juice soaks the upholstery, and grit ends up everywhere. Our interior detail is a full cabin reset: every zone vacuumed, carpets and mats extracted, dash and vents steamed, leather cleaned and conditioned. We do it curbside on your block — a legal spot anywhere off Eastern Parkway or Franklin Avenue, scheduled around the alternate-side sweep. See the full interior detailing checklist for what every step includes.
In Crown Heights, the heavy tree canopy drops sap and pollen onto whatever's parked underneath — sap, pollen, salt, brake dust, or whatever your block deals with. Our exterior detail is a proper two-bucket hand wash — never an automatic brush — plus wheel and tire deep-clean, sap and bug removal, clay-bar decontamination, and a sealant that beads water through the next storm. Glass and trim finished so the whole car reads clean from the sidewalk, done curbside on your block — a legal spot anywhere off Eastern Parkway or Franklin Avenue, scheduled around the alternate-side sweep.
Between strollers, work boots, pets, and the salt stains winter leaves behind, Crown Heights carpets and seats take a beating. We hot-water extract the carpets, floor mats, and cloth upholstery — lifting out ground-in dirt, spilled coffee, pet hair, and embedded grit. Set-in stains get pre-treated and multi-passed, then a dry pass so nothing stays damp in a closed car. Leather is cleaned and conditioned separately. It is the deepest part of our interior service and the step that finally makes the car feel new again. We do it curbside on your block — a legal spot anywhere off Eastern Parkway or Franklin Avenue, scheduled around the alternate-side sweep.
Ceramic coating earns its place in Crown Heights — cars here live outside under winter salt, sun, and everything the Botanic Garden border throws at the paint. A professional coating (Gtechniq, Gyeon) adds a hard, hydrophobic layer so droppings and sap wipe off instead of etching, washing gets faster, and the gloss holds for years. We correct the paint first, install in a controlled setup, and register the warranty in your name. The full ceramic coating buyer’s guide walks through what to ask before you book.
Street parking and city miles in Crown Heights mean door dings, brush-wash marks, and swirls — and the soft clear coats common around here show every one. Our paint correction is measured, not guessed: LED inspection, a test spot, then a multi-stage machine polish that actually removes swirls, water spots, and oxidation instead of glazing over them. We pull the true depth and gloss back out of the paint before any coating goes on top. A Mercedes, a BMW, a Range Rover, a Tesla off Franklin Avenue — whatever is on your block, it leaves looking better than the day it was delivered.
Our mobile hand wash comes to your spot in Crown Heights with our own water and power — a safe two-bucket wash with pH-neutral soap, wheels and tires cleaned, glass left streak-free, and a quick spray sealant for protection between full details. For Crown Heights drivers who can’t burn a Saturday at a tunnel wash — and don’t want automatic brushes dragging grit across their paint — it’s the easy every-couple-weeks maintenance that keeps a coated or freshly corrected car looking right. Done curbside on your block — a legal spot anywhere off Eastern Parkway or Franklin Avenue, scheduled around the alternate-side sweep.
Commuter coffee, takeaway on the way home, a car that gets used every day and aired out rarely — that is the recipe for a Crown Heights cabin that smells lived-in. We remove rather than mask: the source is extracted from carpet backing and seat foam, and then an ozone or enzyme treatment neutralises food, smoke, pet and mildew molecules instead of covering them. It is what we run before a dealer looks at a car at lease return time, and on any used purchase that needs to stop smelling like its previous life.
Along the parkway a car can sit in full sun for years without ever seeing a garage, and the headlights show it long before the paint does. Our headlight restoration strips the oxidised layer by wet-sanding, refinishes the lens through progressive polishing and seals the surface with a UV coating so it holds its clarity instead of re-yellowing in a season. It restores real beam output for night driving and takes years off how the front end reads. Sixty to ninety minutes, kerbside, with the car left where it is.
Eastern Parkway is wide, heavily treed and busy, and cars parked along it collect the consequences of all three. Our mobile car wash comes to your block and works from the kerb, running as a mobile car washing service with its own water and power. Canopy sap and parkway road film are different problems, so an at-home car wash handles them separately — decontamination first, then a well-lubricated hand wash and a rinse that dries clear. A car shampoo service then extracts carpets and mats, with a car seat shampoo to clear the upholstery. Engine bay detailing is available on request.
