Your car stops looking tired. The interior smells clean again, not like old coffee and gym bags. Your paint reflects light the way it did when you first bought it.
You get your time back. No more Saturdays spent scrubbing floor mats or trying to remove love bug stains that won’t budge. No driving across town to drop your car off at a shop, then figuring out how to get back home.
We handle everything on-site. You stay home, work from your office, or just go about your day. When we’re done, your vehicle looks like you actually take care of it—because now, you do. And in Florida’s brutal sun and bug season, that difference shows up fast. The paint stays protected. The interior stays fresh. You stop worrying about what the heat and humidity are doing to your investment.
We started TIMO Detailing Services during COVID when people needed services that came to them. We built the business around one idea: do the work right, and people will notice.
We’re local to the Lutz area. We know what Florida weather does to cars—the love bugs in spring and fall, the relentless UV exposure, the salt and humidity that eat through cheap wax in weeks. We’re insured, certified, and we don’t rush jobs to squeeze in more appointments.
If you’re in Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, or anywhere nearby, we’ll come to you. We work on driveways, parking lots, office buildings—wherever your car is. You don’t adjust your schedule for us. We adjust ours for you.
You tell us where your car is and what you need done. We show up with everything—water, power, tools, products. You don’t need a hose or an outlet.
We start with a full exterior wash to remove surface dirt, bugs, and road grime. If you’re doing a full detail, we move inside next—vacuuming, shampooing, treating leather or fabric, cleaning every surface you touch. For ceramic coating or paint protection film, we prep the paint first, sometimes doing light correction if there are swirls or scratches.
The process takes anywhere from two hours to a full day depending on what you’ve booked. We don’t leave until the work is done right. You’re not standing there watching us—you’re inside, working, relaxing, whatever. When we’re finished, we walk you through what we did. You see the difference immediately. Then we pack up and you’ve got a car that looks like it just rolled off the lot.

A full interior detail means we’re cleaning everything. Seats get vacuumed and shampooed. Carpets and floor mats get the same treatment. We wipe down the dashboard, center console, door panels, and every plastic or leather surface.
We clean the vents, cup holders, and the spots you forget exist until someone points them out. If you’ve got kids or pets, we’re pulling out Cheerios from seat cracks and removing hair that’s embedded in the upholstery. We treat leather so it doesn’t crack in the Florida heat. We clean windows inside and out so you’re not squinting through streaks when the sun hits.
For exterior work, we’re washing, claying, polishing if needed, and protecting the paint. In Lutz, that protection matters. Love bugs are acidic—if you leave them on your bumper for more than a day or two, they etch into the clear coat permanently. Our ceramic coatings give you a hydrophobic layer that makes washing easier and keeps contaminants from bonding to the paint. It’s not just about looking good. It’s about protecting your investment from an environment that’s constantly trying to destroy it.
It depends on what you’re getting done and what condition your car is in. A basic exterior wash and interior vacuum might take two hours. A full detail with interior shampoo, exterior polish, and protection can take four to six hours.
If you’re adding ceramic coating, that’s a longer process. We’re prepping the paint, sometimes doing correction work to remove swirls or light scratches, then applying multiple layers of coating. That can take a full day.
We don’t rush it. If your car needs more time to get it right, we take it. You’re not paying for speed—you’re paying for results. And because we’re mobile, you’re not stuck waiting around. You go about your day and we handle everything on-site.
Yes. We’re fully self-contained. We bring our own water supply and power generation, so you don’t need to provide anything.
That means we can work in parking lots, apartment complexes, office buildings, or anywhere your car happens to be. You don’t need a hose hookup or an outdoor outlet. We’ve got everything we need to do the job right.
This setup also gives us control over water pressure and quality, which matters when we’re doing paint correction or applying ceramic coatings. We’re not depending on your home’s water pressure or worrying about hard water spots. It’s all handled.
Yes, but let’s be clear about what it does. Ceramic coating creates a hard, hydrophobic layer on top of your clear coat. That layer makes it much harder for contaminants like love bug acid, bird droppings, and tree sap to bond to your paint.
When love bugs hit your car, you still need to wash them off—but with a ceramic coating, they come off easier and they’re far less likely to etch into the paint if you wait a day or two. The coating also provides UV protection, which matters in Florida where your paint is getting cooked at 140+ degrees in the summer.
It’s not invincible. You can still scratch it if you’re careless during a wash. But it’s 100 times thicker than wax, lasts years instead of weeks, and makes maintenance dramatically easier. For anyone in Lutz dealing with our specific environmental challenges, it’s one of the best investments you can make.
A basic wash is exterior only—we’re removing dirt, bugs, and grime, then drying the car. It’s maintenance. It keeps your car looking decent between deeper cleans.
A full detail is comprehensive. Exterior gets washed, clayed to remove embedded contaminants, polished if there are imperfections, then protected with wax or sealant. Interior gets fully vacuumed, all surfaces wiped down or shampooed, leather conditioned, windows cleaned inside and out.
The difference is depth. A wash takes care of surface-level dirt. A detail restores the car. If you haven’t had your car detailed in a year or more, or if you’re dealing with stains, odors, or paint that looks dull and scratched, you need a full detail. If you’re just keeping up with regular maintenance and your car is already in good shape, a wash might be enough.
Yes. We offer discounts for first-time customers, military members, seniors, and first responders. It’s our way of saying thanks to the people who serve or who are trusting us for the first time.
The discount amount varies depending on the service you’re booking, but it applies to everything from basic washes to full ceramic coating packages. Just mention it when you reach out.
We’re not the cheapest option in Lutz, and we’re not trying to be. You’re paying for experience, quality products, proper technique, and the convenience of us coming to you. But we also want to make sure the service is accessible to the people who’ve earned a break.
Absolutely. We work in apartment and condo parking lots all the time. As long as there’s space for us to set up around your car and we’re not blocking traffic or violating property rules, we’re good to go.
Some complexes have restrictions on commercial vehicles or services being performed on-site, so it’s worth checking with your property management if you’re not sure. But in most cases, it’s not an issue.
We’re quiet, we’re clean, and we don’t leave a mess. We pack up everything when we’re done and the only thing left behind is your car looking significantly better than it did before. If your complex won’t allow it, we can sometimes work with you to find a nearby location that does.
