Hi, My name is Drake Strong. I just moved to Council Bluffs, which technically makes Strong Auto Detail the newest mobile auto detailing service in town.
But I'm not new at this. I've spent more than six years detailing cars, trucks, and SUVs around Sioux City. In that time I've collected over 300 five-star reviews on Google and Facebook, all as a one-person operation.
So if you're in Council Bluffs and looking for someone to take care of your vehicle, here's who I am, what I do, and how it works.
Mobile detailing means I come to you
There's no shop to drop your car off at. I bring everything to your driveway, apartment lot, or workplace and do the job right there.
That means no rides to arrange, no sitting in a waiting room, and no losing your car for the day. You go about your day, and your vehicle gets done where it's parked.
What I do
Ceramic coating in Council Bluffs
This is what I'm best known for. A ceramic coating bonds to your paint and gives it a slick, glossy layer that sheds water and dirt. Your car stays cleaner longer, and washing it takes half the effort.
My Ultimate Ceramic Coating Package includes:
- A full exterior wash and decontamination
- A one-step paint polish to remove swirls, light scratches, and dullness
- A professional ceramic coating, lasting up to 5 years with proper care
- Glass coating so rain beads off your windshield
- Coating on the wheels, trim, and lights
It takes a full day and starts at $1,395, depending on the vehicle's size and condition. I'm a certified Owner's Pride installer, so you're getting a coating applied by someone trained to do it.
Paint polishing and exterior detailing
Not ready for a coating? My exterior detailing covers a wash, clay bar treatment, and sealant. The clay pulls out the gritty contamination washing leaves behind, and the sealant adds shine and protection.
If your paint looks dull or swirled, machine polishing brings back the depth. It's the difference between a clean car and a car that actually looks new.
Headlight restoration
Foggy, yellow headlights make any car look older than it is. Worse, they cut down how far you can see at night. I sand, polish, and protect them so they come back clear.
Interior detailing
Kids, dogs, coffee, road trips. Interiors take a beating. My interior detailing includes steam cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and stain removal. The goal is an interior that looks and smells like you just drove it off the lot.
Where I work
I'm based in Council Bluffs and serve the whole city, plus Carter Lake and the Omaha metro across the river. If you're not sure whether you're in range, just ask. I'll tell you straight.
Why protection matters around here
Iowa is hard on vehicles. Winter brings road salt and brine that cling to paint and eat at the undercarriage. Summer brings bugs, tree sap, and bird droppings that etch into clear coat if they sit too long.
A sealant or ceramic coating gives all of that something to sit on besides your paint. Grime rinses off easier, and your clear coat stays intact. If you're going to do one thing before winter, protecting your paint is it.
Common questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Council Bluffs?
My Ultimate Ceramic Coating Package starts at $1,395. The final price depends on your vehicle's size and the condition of the paint.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Up to 5 years with proper care. After it's applied, there's a cure time before the first wash.
Do I need to bring my car anywhere?
No. I'm fully mobile and come to your home or work.
Are you certified?
Yes. I'm a certified Owner's Pride ceramic coating installer and certified through CPD, Certified Professional Detailers.
