06' Suburban
Josh C.

Got a new 16 yr old in the house and of course we've been looking at vehicles for months. I have a '06 Suburban we use around our business for odds and end jobs and it was my primary vehicle when my boys were a babies. Momma has always joked, "I'd love for him to drive a tank for his first vehicle." I decided to bring my favorite relic back to life and started a restoration a couple months ago on the ol 06'. Between; body work and paint bumper to bumper, mechanical, electronics, rims & tires, new OMC seat cover, touch screen stereo with "today's" technology, back up camera, car starter and the the list goes on. Yep, I spent some money but hey, the vehicle is paid for and I've been the only owner and it's blessed our family with many years of memories-she deserved it. Mid way through this restoration I started a search for the final "touch" that can really put the cherry on top and care for the money I've spent on this restoration. We own a funeral home & crematory, families can invest from $2k-$15k to memorialize their love one, we understand it's expensive and they deserve the very best details to go along with that investment. My eye is definitely in the details!!!! I came across Gorilla Shines website-read the reviews, noticed the awards and recognized a new second location opened; something must being going right. I took the next step and visited their original location on Winchester Rd and met the manager and owner and was impressed with their car care knowledge and passion. Appointment made! Man-ol-man, my boys at Gorilla did not disappoint! ....and yes, I said my boys, I'm on that level now. They took care of my 14 yr old baby like it was their own. From treating the new paint with the proper product to allow it to breath and cure at the same time to engine cleaning to removing spilt milk and pop stains. Now it's time to put a bow on the hood and pass it on for a few more years of memories! Momma got her boy in a shiny tank... Thank you so much team Gorilla and hope your blessed with years of success. You just earned a new customer. Side note: my son thinks he's getting the old 06' Suburban as he knows it with all its bruises and stains. Can't wait to reveal this ride on Christmas morning. So if you've figured out who's writing this review.... keep it a secret for a few more days

Roadster from the back where you can see the amazing shine better.

Recently purchased a 2015 JCW Mini Roadster which had been owned in Kansas where the bugs must be huge. While it was very low mileage and in excellent condition, the paint had a few smears and scratches from bugs and just use. After Ryan at the Winchester Road location, evaluated the car and provided the cost for paint correction and the 3 different ceramic treatment levels they use, I was sent home with a brochure about the ceramic product. I always check out reviews from customers, BBB reports and the like before selecting a company. I also reviewed the products used and did a price comparison between other companies in the area as well as cost in general. The reviews were excellent as were the reviews on the ceramic product they utilize. While the cost was a bit more than a competitor, no one had better customer satisfaction reports. While costly to get the highest level of ceramic protection, the cost was still lower than other places in the US. I have learned by this point that the "cheapest" is frequently not nearly as good. I picked the Roadster up yesterday from the Southland drive location that handles paint correction, after they had it for 3 days. It looks absolutely wonderful. Chris, the owner had also cleaned the leather seats at no charge. The transaction was handled professionally from start to finish. All the employees were welcoming, but Chris and Ryan, who I dealt with are highly recommended. Tried to take photos yesterday. The problem is that the car is so shiny that it reflects like a mirror so no matter the angle I seemed to get the image across from it in the photo. Finally near dusk I was able to get a view that showed just how good the car looks. When you touch the car it is mirror smooth. The slightly gritty feeling that was present before caused by contamination to the paint is completely gone. Even the one massive Kansas bug kamikaze smear no longer shows up! At both locations there were a number of other cars being worked on and several were obviously the high end collectible type whose owners keep them in top shape. It was fun to see the cars, as well as the normal daily drivers in the detail process. Because the bugs in Ky may rival their Ks. brothers, I have also scheduled my daily driver to have a ceramic application next week. Not only will this help preserve the value of the car, it will make getting the blasted bugs off easier in the future! I admit to having attempted to improve the paint with a clay bar treatment at home, but I do not have the tools necessary to do a paint correction. Just as I wouldn't try to fix a mechanical issue under the hood, I learned that I lacked the skill set and equipment to handle paint correction. Some things are better left to the professionals and my choice in the Lexington area is without question Gorilla Shine. I am in no way affiliated with the company or any of the employees. I am a firm believer in providing detailed accurate reviews whether positive or not simply because I rely on reviews myself in making choices about what company is the best to use.

I used the Winchester road location and everyone was great. Ryan was a pleasure to work with and he keeps you updated. Will definitely go back again. Just take your vehicle to them and you'll be happy.

Amazing, fair priced, friendly. I took my A3 to them after buying it at Carmax. Its black so it had its obvious blemishes and scratches, but the job they did made my car look great. The Upgrade To Synthetic Polymer Sealant is definitely worth it as well. See you in 6 months so I can get my car summer ready.

Should have taken better pictures but this is after the "Innie"

See all
