Since 2021

Two people who quit their jobs to do this properly

Nick Lemaire and Austin Sanderson met working at a car dealership in Little Rock. They found out they shared the same obsession, walked away from the dealership in late 2021, and opened a single bay shop with a plan to go big.

How it started

Self-taught hobbyists who trained up.

Neither of them came out of a trade school. They came out of a dealership, obsessed with car care, doing it on their own vehicles until they were better at it than the job they were paid for.

What turned that into a business was training, and the certifications that let a manufacturer stand behind the work. The single bay became a full shop at 920 Shall Avenue, and the goal has not changed: be Central Arkansas's number one rated detail and film shop, and get there on the work rather than the marketing.

What is actually different here

Four things, and none of them are slogans.

Everything under one roof

Coating, correction, detailing, film, tint, lighting, accessories, plus marine and UTV. Nobody subcontracts your vehicle to a shop you did not choose.

Certified, not just keen

XPEL certified for film and for tint and coating, plus Detroit Tint Studio tint certification.

Pickup and drop-off

Losing a workday to a detail appointment is why most people keep putting it off. We come and get it instead.

You get an owner

Read the reviews and count how many name Nick or Austin personally. On a job this detail-dependent, that is the whole product.

On the wall

Credentials, in full.

  • XPEL Certified Paint Protection Film Installer
  • XPEL Certified Window Tint and Ceramic Coating Installer
  • Detroit Tint Studio Window Tint Certification
  • Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Certificate of Entrepreneurship

We are also an authorized installer for the lighting and coating brands we carry. We install their products rather than parts customers bring in. When the product and the install both come from us, there is nobody to point at.

Proof

Customers keep naming them personally.

That is the part you cannot fake, and it is why the shop grew the way it did.

Nick and Austin always take great care with our vehicles! They just finished our third install of ceramic coating, window tint, and windshield protection. Their attention to detail and professional service are why we keep coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality auto care!

Slick Auto Care did a headlight PPF covering and an inside and out detail for me. All the work was top notch and done in an afternoon. Recommended.

I would like to give a 10/10 rating to Slick Auto Care. Not only was Austin and Nick communication skills great but they were also very reliable and walked me through the issue. Time management was on point, I submitted a request online, Austin called me within 5-10mins afterwards, I went by the shop the next day where I met Nick and I showed him what the issue was. We talked about the repair processes and procedures, ensured me that they would fixed the paint correction and chipped paint area as much as they could and they did just that. Highly recommend Slick Auto Care and their team.

This is the second vehicle of mine that has been tinted and customized by Nick and the Slick Auto staff and neither time have they disappointed. Their professionalism is commendable and the facility is state of the art. I highly recommend them for all of your auto customizing.

Slick responded to my question on Yelp almost immediately! They schedule by appointment so you dont have to wait in line. My car was washed by hand and he dried it to where it was spotless and looked new. I am definitely making Slick my weekly car wash!
