Home / Columbia Heights
For Columbia Heights drivers, QMD Detailing & Autostyling is the nearest real detailing studio around. Sitting just 8 to 10 minutes up Central Avenue in New Brighton, we bring showroom-level care to everyday commuters and family vehicles, whether you drop off at the studio or have us come to your driveway.
Columbia Heights, MN
Columbia Heights sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, which makes QMD one of the most convenient professional detailing options you have. A straight shot up Highway 65 or a short hop over from I-694 puts you at our controlled indoor studio in New Brighton in under ten minutes. That means less time driving across the metro to find quality work, and more time actually enjoying a clean car. For neighbors near Silver Lake, Huset Park, or the busy Central Ave stretch, we are practically around the corner.
Founder Robert Delins started QMD as a one-man mobile operation out of Minneapolis in the summer of 2024, then opened the New Brighton studio in November 2025 to handle the precision work that ceramic coatings and paint correction demand. That history matters for Columbia Heights: you get the convenience of true mobile service at home plus a nearby indoor studio when your car needs controlled lighting and a dust-free environment. No shortcuts, a satisfaction guarantee, and a shelf full of five-star Google reviews back every job.
Mobile & In-Shop
This is the everyday hero for Columbia Heights daily drivers and family haulers. We handle a full interior deep clean, upholstery, leather, carpets, glass, and the center console, plus a thorough exterior wash, decontamination, and protection. Choose mobile service and we come to your home or office anywhere in Columbia Heights, or book a quick drop-off at the New Brighton studio just up Central Avenue. Either way, salt, road grime from I-694, and the wear of a busy commute get wiped away, and your car comes back looking like it did the day you bought it.

Swirl & Scratch Removal
Swirl marks, light scratches, and haze from years of parking-lot washes show up fast under Columbia Heights sunlight. Our 1-step and 2-step machine polishing is done under controlled studio lighting so we can see and remove those defects precisely. Paint correction is the essential foundation before any ceramic coating goes on, because coating a car without correcting it just locks in the flaws. Drop off in New Brighton and pick up a finish with real depth and clarity restored to the paint.

Gtechniq Certified
For the coating work that protects your paint for years, the controlled indoor studio in New Brighton is where the magic happens, and it is only minutes from Columbia Heights. We are Gtechniq-certified and offer both a 1-year EXO option and multi-year CSL coatings lasting up to roughly nine years. The result is a deep, glossy finish that is hydrophobic and resistant to UV and chemicals, so Minnesota winters, road salt, and summer sun have a much harder time dulling your car. Water beads and rolls off, and washing becomes quick and easy.

Ongoing Care
A clean car should not be a once-a-year event. Our monthly maintenance plans keep your everyday driver looking sharp with regular upkeep on a schedule that fits your commute along Central Ave and I-694. For Columbia Heights and Hilltop businesses, our commercial fleet and partnership programs keep work vehicles presentable and protected without you having to manage the details. Consistent care also protects resale value, which matters when your car is racking up daily miles.
Why QMD
Proximity is the honest advantage here. Being one of the closest professional detailing studios to Columbia Heights means you are not driving across town or waiting days for a slot. A short trip up Highway 65, or a mobile appointment at your own home, and the work gets done right. We built our reputation on treating every car like our own, whether it is a leased commuter, a family SUV, or a weekend project.
We also believe premium work should not mean overpaying. QMD focuses on real, no-shortcuts detailing at everyday-driver value, with clear options so you only pay for what your car actually needs. From a straightforward full detail to a multi-year ceramic coating, you get the same attention to detail and the same satisfaction guarantee. Booking is entirely online, so you can lock in a time between our Monday through Friday hours, 8am to 9pm, without a single phone tag.
FAQ
Very close. The New Brighton studio at 833 3rd St SW is only about 8 to 10 minutes from Columbia Heights, a straight shot northeast up Central Avenue (Highway 65) or a quick connection from I-694. For most neighborhoods near Silver Lake and Huset Park, we are one of the nearest professional detailing studios you can reach, which makes drop-off and pickup genuinely easy.
Absolutely. A large part of our Columbia Heights work is daily commuters and family vehicles. Our Full Detailing gives you a complete interior and exterior refresh at honest, everyday-driver value, and we offer clear options so you only pay for what your car needs. If you want ongoing care without the big one-time cost, our monthly maintenance plans keep things affordable and consistent.
Both work. We still offer true mobile service and can come to your home or office anywhere in Columbia Heights for full detailing. For ceramic coating and paint correction, we recommend the New Brighton studio, since that controlled, dust-free indoor environment and proper lighting are essential for those services, and the studio is only minutes away.
Paint correction relies on controlled lighting to reveal swirl marks, scratches, and haze, and a dust-free space so nothing contaminates the finish. Our New Brighton studio provides exactly that, which a Columbia Heights driveway cannot. Since correction is the foundation before any ceramic coating, doing it in the studio ensures the results actually last, and it is a short trip from home.
