Recognized for excellence
Tucked into the valley
Shoal Creek sits in the Dunnavant Valley below Double Oak Mountain, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Birmingham. Its wooded lots, lakes and long, winding drives surround a private golf course that opened in 1977 on a Jack Nicklaus design and hosted the 2018 U.S. Women's Open. It is a quiet place to come home to. If your garage holds a car you care about, a shop visit means an afternoon on US 280 and a waiting room. Eli's Elite brings the work to you instead.
Eli sets up in your driveway or beside the garage with his own water, power and equipment, whether you live on a golf course lot, beside one of the lakes or on a street in Mt Laurel. You can stay inside, take a call or get on with your day while the paint is hand washed, the wheels are cleaned and the cabin is restored. Before Eli packs up, anything you are not happy with is redone on the spot, and The Elite Promise covers the next 7 days.
Tall oaks, tall pines
The tall oaks and pines around Shoal Creek are much of its appeal, and they are also what your car lives under. Spring pine pollen drifts onto anything parked outside and through an open garage door, summer adds sap, leaves and bird droppings along the drives, and Alabama heat works on dashboards and leather. Then comes the run up US 280, which leaves road film and brake dust behind.
A yellow coat of spring pollen and sticky summer sap settle on paint, glass and cowl vents under the trees. A careful hand wash and a fresh coat of wax lift them before they bond to the finish.
Fishing gear, damp towels, muddy trail shoes and happy dogs ride home from the lakes, the Dunnavant Valley Greenway and Oak Mountain State Park. The Elite adds steam disinfection, odor removal and extreme pet hair removal.
For a car that spends most days in the garage, paint correction in your driveway clears swirls, and a SystemX ceramic coating, applied at Eli's shop on Corporate Drive, keeps the gloss easy to maintain.

Trusted by Birmingham-area drivers
Every review below is a verbatim 5-star Google review from a Birmingham-area client.
Eli did an outstanding job detailing our 2017 Mazda MX5. We highly recommend him.
Eli has detailed several of my vehicles including an Airstream Interstate RV. Great to work with, very detail oriented. Will definitely continue to use him.
I had Eli clean/detail 3 cars. Two, I'm embarrassed to say, were in really bad shape. He did an exceptional job on all 3. Will definitely use again. Highly recommend.
From time in the car business to just my own stuff, I've worked with a LOT of detail guys - and I gotta say I'm impressed! Eli is passionate about what he does, and he's also great at it. That's an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend.
Looks so good I think Eli swapped my car with a new one!
My car has never been this clean!

Good questions, honest answers
Anything else? Call or text Eli.
Yes. Eli's Elite is fully mobile and comes to homes throughout Shoal Creek and Mt Laurel with its own water, power and professional equipment. If your home is behind a gate, text Eli your address and any gate or entry details when you book, and he will arrive ready to set up in your driveway or garage.
No. Eli applies ceramic coatings only at his Birmingham shop, 1100 Corporate Drive, not at your home. The detailing packages and paint correction are mobile, so those happen in your Shoal Creek driveway or garage. If you are weighing correction and a coating together, call or text Eli and he will walk you through the plan.
Usually, yes. Dust and spring pine pollen drift in whenever the garage door is open, and leather and trim still dry out with time. The Essentials covers a hand wash, paint gloss enhancement, a premium 3-month wax, leather cleaning and conditioning and interior UV protection in about 3 hours, and the car never has to leave your property.
It is a year of private-client care for $2,500. Day one brings a 10-year SystemX ceramic coating, two-stage paint correction and The Elite detail, with the coating applied at Eli's shop. After that, the 12 maintenance cleanings through the year are mobile and happen at your home, with priority scheduling, a private client phone line and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The Elite. Its clay bar lifts bonded contaminants like sap residue and a premium 12-month wax protects the paint longer, while inside it adds carpet shampoo, extreme pet hair removal, odor removal and steam disinfection for the gear a lake weekend leaves behind. Plan on 4 to 5 hours in your driveway, with water and power brought along.
Reserve a time through the booking link on this page, or call or text Eli between 9:00 AM and 7:30 PM, Monday to Saturday. Share your Shoal Creek address, your vehicle and any gate details, and Eli will confirm a time that fits your day.
