Our History: Fueled by Passion, Driven by Craftsmanship
Founded in 2018, Elusive Auto Shine was born from the desire to turn passion into purpose. Dante Prinzo, a lifelong car enthusiast, spent a decade in the recruiting industry before making the leap, starting this journey from the back of his truck in Charlotte.
Today, we proudly serve car lovers throughout the greater Pittsburgh area from our two boutique detailing studios in Bridgeville and Mt. Lebanon. What started as a one-man operation has evolved into a reliable destination for high-end auto detailing that’s built on passion, precision, and a relentless drive to elevate the craft.
What Sets Us Apart: A New Standard in Professional Auto Detailing
We’re not your average auto detailer, and we don’t want to be. We specialize in high-end detailing services including ceramic coatings, paint protection film (PPF), and automotive window tinting.
But what sets us apart isn’t just what we do, it’s how we do it. At Elusive Auto Shine, we take a craftsperson’s approach to car care.
Every auto detailer in our shop is a car enthusiast at heart, trained to obsess over the smallest imperfections and constantly striving to perfect their skills. We’re not in a race to be the fastest. We’re here to be the best.
Our Values Drive Everything We Do
We believe your experience should match the quality of our work. That’s why we’re committed to:
-
Transparency: From consultations to delivery, our auto detailers keep you informed every step of the way. We’ll even provide you with a highlight reel detailing the work we’ve conducted on your vehicle.
-
Customer Experience: We treat every vehicle like it’s our own and every client like a VIP.
-
Craftsmanship Over Convenience: We don’t cut corners. If you’re looking for cheap and fast, we’re not your shop; but if you want it done right the first time, we’re your team.
-
Continuous Growth: Our team is constantly learning, innovating, and pushing the envelope of what’s possible in an auto detailing service.
-
Fun: Yes, we’re serious about our work — but we believe the process should be enjoyable, too.
