Birds, sap, and parking you fought for. We work at the curb and you keep it.
Xentra comes to Prospect Heights — the brownstone blocks off Vanderbilt and Underhill, and building garages near Barclays. We bring our own water and power, so nothing is needed from the building. Exterior work starts at $250 and a full interior-and-exterior at $350, most finished same-day.
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 Prospect Heights — we come to you, so there’s no shop drop-off and no waiting room. Prospect Heights is Brooklyn through and through — a mix of brownstone driveways, permit street spots, and newer building garages. Wherever the car sits near Vanderbilt, that's where we work, fully self-contained.
The threats here are predictable enough: arena-night traffic shedding brake dust across the neighbourhood, street trees dropping sap onto stationary cars, and parking tight enough to guarantee door contact. None of it washes off.
Ceramic coating, paint correction, full and interior details and recurring washes all run in Prospect Heights — reset the finish first, then protect it, because the car is going to keep living outdoors either way.
Prospect Heights has its own way of beating up a car. We've seen all of it.
Between the street trees and the cornices, bird traffic here is relentless. It etches clear coat within a day if the car sits in the sun.
The blocks around the arena are well planted, and sap lands on cars that barely move midweek. It bakes into hot paint quickly.
Spaces disappear entirely on game nights and everyone squeezes in. Door transfer and scuffed bumpers are the predictable result.
Real products, real techniques — and the mix that actually comes up around here.
What we actually do in Prospect Heights is shaped by a car that stays parked and a street that keeps landing things on it. Tree canopy and rooftop bird traffic put acidic fallout on the clear coat within a day — we remove it and add a coating buffer.
Ceramic coating is the most-requested job around Vanderbilt — owners here protect six-figure paint with Gtechniq Crystal Serum and Gyeon Mohs+, registered and warrantied in their name.
Paint correction around here is mostly etch and light marring rather than deep defects. We inspect under LED, test-spot, and cut only as far as the damage actually goes.
Full PPF goes on a lot of the front-ends in Prospect Heights — XPEL and SunTek film over hoods and bumpers so bird traffic never reaches the paint.
The full menu — all 27 services — is available curbside or in your garage near Vanderbilt.
Arena-side blocks give Prospect Heights a hard-parked, high-turnover mix.
Model 3s and Ioniqs working event nights. Hard-used cabins that need scheduled extraction and paint that collects brake dust.
X1s, Q3s and RAV4s squeezed into contested spaces. Door transfer and kerbed wheels are the usual repairs here.
Accords and Camrys owned for years on the block. Etch from tree sap rather than swirls is what needs correcting.
Prospect Heights clients work with IDA Certified, Gtechniq Accredited, and Gyeon Certified techs. Standard of care doesn't change with the vehicle.
Prospect 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 single legal spot on Vanderbilt Avenue or Washington Avenue is all we need, worked around alternate-side. See the full interior detailing checklist for what every step includes.
In Prospect 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 single legal spot on Vanderbilt Avenue or Washington Avenue is all we need, worked around alternate-side.
Between strollers, work boots, pets, and the salt stains winter leaves behind, Prospect 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 single legal spot on Vanderbilt Avenue or Washington Avenue is all we need, worked around alternate-side.
Ceramic coating earns its place in Prospect Heights — cars here live outside under winter salt, sun, and everything the Botanic Garden 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 Prospect 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, an Audi, a Range Rover, a Tesla off Washington 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 Prospect 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 Prospect 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 single legal spot on Vanderbilt Avenue or Washington Avenue is all we need, worked around alternate-side.
Between event nights, takeaway and a car that lives outdoors, a Prospect Heights cabin picks up smells fast and holds onto them. Nothing sprayed on top fixes that. We extract the source out of the carpet backing and seat foam first, then use an ozone or enzyme treatment to neutralise food, smoke, pet and mildew at the molecular level so it does not return in a fortnight. It is the standard prep before a dealer inspection at lease return time and the fix for a used car that still smells of its last owner.
Street-parked year-round with no shade to speak of, a Prospect Heights car gets its headlights baked steadily until the beam pattern goes soft and the front end looks a decade old. Our headlight restoration wet-sands the oxidation off, polishes the lens back through progressive grades until it is genuinely clear, and seals it with a UV coating so it stays that way. The gain in usable light after dark is the real reason to do it. Sixty to ninety minutes, kerbside, car stays exactly where it is.
Parking around the arena is competitive enough that leaving to wash the car is not really an option. Our mobile car wash comes to you and occupies one legal space beside the vehicle, working as a mobile car washing service off its own supply. Event-traffic brake dust and street-tree sap turn up on the same car, and an at-home car wash decontaminates both before hand washing and rinsing until the paint dries clear. Carpets and mats are hot-water extracted under a car shampoo service, and a car seat shampoo lifts spills out of the upholstery. Engine bay detailing is available as an add-on.
