Detail King’s history
Detailing was established in 1999 by Nick Vacco in Pittsburgh. Since the beginning the company has offered detailers, companies and hobbyists training, advice and classes to perfect their skills. They also offer a range of products aimed at several steps of the detailing process, including merchandise and tools. Detail King started around 1985 as a mobile detailing business by Nick Vacco’s own vehicle. After many years and lots of hard work he was able to move into a unit with room for 4 cars and a large showroom. The business was called King Of The Road – Auto Appearance Center which soon became the best detailing company in Pittsburgh. Its service quickly expanded from detailing related tasks to custom installations of aftermarket products. The Cadillac Limousine used by the company to transport their customers eventually lead to a second company that now offers the most versatile limousine company in Pittsburgh. Eventually the company was sold, but with detailing in its blood, Nick started a webshop from home based on the knowledge and experience he had gained over the years. Detail King was born and grew within a few years in a staff of 12 and a 9500 square feet building.
