Chas Keithan, Owner
Albedo Detailing is now serving the Chattanooga Area!
Although new to Tennessee, we are not new to detailing and are looking forward to "cleaning up the streets" so to speak.Before detailing, I worked for a major power company in the south as an analyst for the majority of my career. My different positions varied from running computer models to determine the most efficient way to run the power plants and managing their respective outages, to providing guidance to our energy traders, or managing the rewrite of software used in Key Performance Indicators. It was an interesting job that I enjoyed a lot, but getting married was more important to me than any job. I quit my job in order to relocate here with my wife.
Detailing for me started as a hobby. It is something I find therapeutic and allows me to focus all my energy on the task at hand with immediate satisfaction when I'm done. I began toying with the idea of opening my own business after friends and family took notice of my work and began asking me to restore their old neglected paint to it's former luster. What began as a weekend side job, quickly became something more.
As an auto enthusiast myself, I tend to cater towards that type of clientele. I don't cut corners and go well beyond your typical "Cut and Buff" or "Drive-thru Detail" place. Where they may take an hour to do a "full paint correction", (Complete with buffer trails) I spend ~10 hours on a single step paint correction, not including prep work, to massage your vehicle to a shine that can be better than new, utilizing pads down to 1" so that each nook and cranny isn't missed.
Give me the chance to work on your car and I'll strive to exceed your every expectation. Shoot me an email or text with any questions you may have and I'll be more than happy to discuss them with you. I may not always hear my phone over the buffer/steamer/etc. but will get back to you as soon as possible.
I should probably also mention that I enjoy learning how things work and take pride in doing things myself. This website is an example of that, built by me from the ground up and I apologize if it looks like a 1st year art student designed it. I do not claim to be a graphic designer at all. Enjoy!
