For Aaron, owner of Garage 46 Detailing, what started as a hobby in his home shed has grown into a thriving local business specialising in premium vehicle detailing, paint protection film and ceramic coatings.
Aaron has always had an eye for detail, whether maintaining his own cars, bikes and boat or simply finding ways to keep things looking new so they last. What began as a hobby quickly grew into something much bigger, with demand for his work eventually leading him to leave his job and focus on Garage 46 full-time.
Attention to detail has always been at the heart of Garage 46. What started with maintaining his own vehicles has expanded into a specialised service covering cars, bikes, boats, caravans and aviation, alongside ceramic coating applications for kitchen surfaces.
The business focuses on providing long-lasting protection while enhancing the appearance of each vehicle or surface, helping customers keep their prized possessions looking their best for longer.
As the business grew, finding the right space became an important next step. Aaron was looking for somewhere with plenty of room and a clean environment where he could create a dedicated studio designed around the needs of the business.
The Carlo Drive location proved to be the perfect fit, allowing Aaron to set up his workshop in a way that helps him achieve the best possible results on every project.
For Aaron, the Garage 46 experience is about more than simply dropping off a vehicle and picking it up when the job is done.
Friendly, helpful service is a key part of the business, with customers given a clear explanation of the process and the knowledge they need to look after their vehicle once the work is complete. Aaron is also always happy to answer questions and provide advice whenever customers are unsure about how to care for their pride and joy.
Whether it’s a car, boat, bike, caravan or another prized possession, Garage 46 Detailing takes the same approach to every project: quality workmanship, attention to detail and plenty of care.
From a hobby in the shed to a full-time business with a dedicated workshop, Aaron’s journey with Garage 46 Detailing is a great example of how a passion can grow into something much bigger.
Proudly servicing Airlie Beach, Cannonvale and the wider Whitsundays, Garage 46 continues to grow while staying true to the attention to detail and friendly service that started it all.
