About A1 Coating
Started in a driveway with my brother. Still doing it by hand.
I'm Neftali Esquivel. Everybody calls me Neff. I started working on cars with my brother back in middle school. We'd clean them inside and out first, because a clean car is what you build everything else on. That's still how I think about it.
That curiosity turned into 11 years of detailing, paint correction and ceramic coating here in Dallas. Along the way I got my Feynlab certification, learned paintless dent repair because North Texas hail comes every spring, and picked up on-site rim repair because people kept asking me for it.
Today A1 Coating is me and my team, and we all work the same way. Correct the paint before you coat it. Tell people what it costs before you start. Treat every car like it's the one somebody waited their whole life for, because a lot of the time it is.
Perfecting imperfections. That's the whole job.
How I work
Three things I don't cut corners on.
Correct before I coat
A coating makes whatever's under it permanent. I polish the defects out first, every time, even on a car that's brand new off the lot.
Safe wash methods
Two buckets, pH-neutral soap, clean pads and towels for every car. No brushes, nothing that puts scratches in while I'm taking them out.
Honest about what works
A coating isn't a force field and PDR can't fix every dent. If something isn't the right fix for your car I'll tell you, and point you to what is.
From people I've worked with
Don't take my word for it.
I achieved a goal I set way back in high school to one day own a Corvette. I wanted only the best when it came to detailing and a ceramic coat that would last. I thought I understood 'show room ready' but was shown a much higher level of what that really means after A1 Coating was done with it. It looks so good I don't want to take it out of the garage.
When I got it the vehicle had severe defects in the paint. A1 Coating restored my paint and made my car look like a brand new vehicle. I have nothing but praise for the quality of their work. A1 Coating will take care of you and your car. You won't be disappointed.
Neff was able to take care of my car and get her looking new. His attention to detail is out of this world. Awesome work for a good price. Will definitely be taking my cars to him to have that A1 touch.
