What can I say.. I came to Mo's valeting to have my car machine polished and ceramic coated.. I had a vision of what I wanted to do to the car including modifying it slightly. Mo's valeting delivered and some!!! New grill. Front splitter. Black badges all round ambient lighting upgrade.. the car has turned out incredible. Every detail is perfect. The guys are perfectionists. And it shows. I can't praise them enough. The whole experience has been amazing. They are the most decent and genuine guys around. The car literally looks brand new again! Thank you so much!

I recently had my a35 done by mo's detailing/valeting with a 7 year ceramic coating. It is 100 percent worth it, my car has never looked so clean and shiny, highly professional and kept me up to date through the whole process of the detailing and I highly recommend if you want your car to look amazing and turn heads

I couldn't be happier with the service! My car had a full clean inside and out, followed by a ceramic protection treatment, and the results are absolutely incredible. It genuinely looks better than the day I bought it. The attention to detail was outstanding. Every inch of the interior was spotless, the exterior had an amazing shine, and the ceramic coating has left the paint looking flawless while giving it excellent protection. What really sets this business apart is the customer service. The team was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a company that goes above and beyond, I can't recommend them highly enough.

If you are navigating trying to choose someone to valet your car, then look no further than Mo and his team. Contacted Mo looking for a quote to have our daughter's first car valeted as the seats had started to go mouldy and green moss/algae had started to grow on the trim. Fast response time from initial enquiry to actual booking and communication was excellent throughout. The service we had was a full deep clean, mould removal & Ozone treatment. The car looked very sorry for itself and was showing its 13 years when I dropped it off, however, that is not the car I returned to collect! The car looked brand new, spotless inside and out, with great attention to detail. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-quality car valet.

I cannot praise Mo's Valeting enough. They do an excellent job every time and never forget the small details that most places would! They are well worth the money and I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Thanks guys!

Mo did an amazing job on a camper van which was very grubby. We only had a mini valet done but it looks so much better and as he knew we are selling it he took some great photos for us to use. He went above and beyond for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!!

I booked a last minute pre-sale deep clean with mo and he was able to fit me in with little notice. This was the first time using mo's valet services and I am blown away at the standard of clean, the boot was filthy due to having a dog, and mould all around the boot... It is genuinely back to new, I've never seen a shine like it! They were very polite, professional and helpful in getting the baby seat inside. I cannot recommend them enough and cannot wait to use their services for my future cars.

These guys do an absolutely fantastic job with detailing my car. I have been taking my car to them for around 7 months now and every time their work stands above anything I've had before. Even though I am moving away from the area soon, I will continue to bring the car to Mo's for its monthly maintenance. Top job all round!

Why Mo's Valeting
The standard behind the finish.
Five practical reasons the work holds up, in the studio and on your driveway.
-
Controlled studio conditions
Correction, coating and film are done indoors under proper lighting, so every defect shows and dust stays out of the finish.
-
A fully equipped mobile unit
It carries its own deionised water supply and professional valeting equipment, so a valet at your home or workplace is the same job as one in the studio.
-
Careful working methods
Safe wash techniques and LSP-safe, biodegradable, non-caustic products, chosen so we never put swirls back into paint we have just corrected.
-
Fully insured
Every job is covered, in the studio and at your address, so your car is protected the whole time it is with us.
-
Honest assessment first
We inspect the paint before we quote and tell you what is safely achievable, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
About us
Two brothers, one standard
Mo's Valeting was started by two brothers who spent years valeting for dealerships and watched good cars rushed through to hit a number. We built the standard we wanted for our own cars, then opened it up to Essex.
Correction, coating and paint protection film are done in our Braintree studio, where the lighting and conditions are controlled. Valeting is done in the studio or from the mobile unit at your address.
You deal directly with the two of us, from the first message to handover. No call centre, no subcontractors and no surprises when you collect the car.
Where we work
Braintree and the surrounding towns
Studio in Braintree. Mobile valeting across the towns below and nearby. Just outside the list? Ask, we often travel further for larger jobs.
Common questions
Before you book
What is the difference between valeting and detailing?
Valeting is thorough cleaning: a safe wash, decontamination and interior work that returns the car to its best current condition. Detailing goes further and changes the condition of the paint itself, using machine polishing to remove swirls and scratches, then sealing the result with a coating or film. Valeting maintains, detailing corrects and protects.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
We use PPL Reign, a 7-year ceramic coating, on every job. Applied to properly prepared paint it will easily see out that rating, often longer with the right care. Preparation is what decides the outcome, a coating applied over swirled or contaminated paint simply seals in the defects, which is why paint correction comes first.
Do you come to me, or do I bring the car to you?
Both. Our mobile unit carries its own deionised water supply and covers Braintree, Chelmsford, Witham, Colchester, Great Notley, Halstead and the surrounding Essex area, so we can work at your home or workplace. Paint correction, ceramic coating and PPF are carried out at our Braintree studio, where lighting and conditions are controlled.
Is PPF or ceramic coating better for my car?
They do different jobs. Paint protection film, which we fit as XPEL accredited installers, is a physical barrier that absorbs stone chips and scratches on the panels most exposed to road debris. A ceramic coating adds gloss, chemical resistance and makes the car far easier to wash, but it will not stop a chip. Many customers protect the front end with film and coat the rest of the vehicle.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mo's Valeting is fully insured for all work carried out, both at our Braintree studio and at your address through our mobile unit.
