Blackout Packages Melbourne

Factory chrome can date a car. A blackout package takes the brightwork out of the picture, piece by piece, so the shape does the talking. Every package is quoted per vehicle at the Epping studio.

Add-Ons

Things Often Done At The Same Time

Each one is a service in its own right, handled in the same studio, and quoted with the job rather than bundled into it.

What Happens

Every Stage In Order

The right method depends on the part and on the car, so blackout work is quoted per vehicle. These are the stages every job runs through.

  • Coverage Planned For Your CarThe brightwork on your car is identified, so you can decide what stays and what goes.
  • Preparation And CleaningSurfaces cleaned and prepared so the finish can bond properly.
  • Blackout Applied In The StudioWorked inside the temperature and airflow controlled studio rather than outdoors.
  • Final Inspection Under Studio LightingChecked at the angles that show up an edge or a missed section, because nothing leaves the shop unless it is absolutely perfect.
  • Aftercare AdviceHow to wash blacked out trim without damaging the finish.

Why Vanta

Why Have Blackout Work Done At Vanta

Blackout work is judged entirely on its edges. Anything rushed shows at the corner of a window surround or the lip of a grille, and that is largely a lighting problem. The studio's precision lighting and angles are set so nothing is missed.

Dylan and Melisa personally handle every car, and they also correct and coat paint. Blackout work is done by people used to treating the whole car with care, and nothing leaves the shop unless it is absolutely perfect.

Blackout work, tint and ceramic coating are all handled under one roof, so the whole look comes from one business rather than three.

Never A Single Star Dropped

A perfect five star record, from a GR Corolla to an AMG GT Black Series. Open any review to read it in full.

Just finished my third car with Vanta Dylan and Mel are amazing. Their passion for cars really shine pun intended. Ive attached some photos from my freshly detailed vehicles. Mind you, these cars are pushing a decade old and they look this good after the detailing. I can't do this review justice, but I am hoping the photos would! On a separate note, washing the cars after the coating is a breeze. I see a lot of hype on ceramic coating but Im a believer. Its just insane. Thanks so much guys. You guys are the absolute best!!

Thank you to the team at Vanta Auto Care. I had my car booked in for a ceramic coating however my car stopped working and wouldn’t turn on. Luckily they’re a one stop shop, I was able to get my car towed to them. They fixed my car straight away and completed the ceramic coating at the same time. They’re very trustworthy, reliable, kept me updated I highly recommend them.

Just brilliant top class service. Dylan and Mel understand its not just a service its a real experience. They understand the importance of trust, from their first advice, collection, progress updates through to the final delivery. They have exceeded every expectation of what we thought could be achieved. Thank you so much for producing something so stunning. You are extremely talented and gifted in what you have achieved. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with you and your company. Very best and kindest regards The Harrison Family

Highly recommend! The team at Vanta are friendly, honest and professional. They kept me informed, provided a quote before carrying out any additional work and checked with me before doing anything extra. They also polished my headlights and replaced my wiper blades, and my car is looking and driving great. Always stoked to find a trustworthy and reliable mechanic that go the extra mile.

Dylan professionally detailed and ceramic coated all of my cars (4) including interior. I couldn’t be more happy and the detailing has lasted (especially in Melbourne weather). He’s attentive to detail and always checks in later to ensure nothing was missed!

Took my brand new car to Dylan @ Auto Luxe Detailing Co for a full body ceramic coating, detail, and clean, and it came back looking even better than it did from the factory. Safe to say it’s 5-star service. Super professional, and really transparent when it comes to the next steps to keep the car in top condition. Appreciate the time and care put into getting everything perfect. Highly recommend.

Took my car in the other week and I have to say the service was amazing from start to finish! My car looks brand new again. Every inch of the car was spotless, inside and out, they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Dylan was super friendly. He even threw in some extras and got rid of some scratches that were on my car. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting their car detailed properly. You’ve earned yourselves a loyal customer!

Nisanur Tiryaki

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Exceptional service, ask for Dylan! I recently visited Auto Luxe and was blown away by the level of professionalism and care from start to finish. Dylan made the entire experience seamless. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. No pressure, no runaround, just honest and outstanding service. It’s rare to find someone who truly takes pride in their work the way Dylan does. I left feeling completely confident in my decision and will absolutely be returning. Highly recommend Auto Luxe, and if you go, make sure you ask for Dylan!

Melissa and Dylan did a great job on my GR Corolla. The ceramic coating came out really nice and the car looks amazing. They were easy to deal with, and answered all my questions. Very happy with the result. Highly recommend

Questions

Before You Book

The things people actually ask, answered straight, including the ones where the honest answer is no.

Something else on your mind? Call 0405 458 288 or ask with your quote.

  • Unit 19/14 Longford Rd, Epping VIC 3076, in Melbourne's north. Everything is done at the studio rather than on the road, because coating, film and tint all need controlled conditions.

  • Every coating is quoted on the vehicle, because the price depends on the size of the car, the condition of the paint and how much correction it needs before coating. Send through your make, model and a few photos and you will get a real number rather than a range. Right now $500 comes off every ceramic coating package.

  • Submit an enquiry. That is the only condition on the offer, and the credit is applied to your coating package when the job is quoted. You can also call the studio on 0405 458 288. There is nothing to print and no code to remember.

  • Usually, yes. New cars arrive with transport marks, dealer wash swirls and machine haze more often than people expect, and a coating locks in whatever is underneath it. The paint is inspected under the studio's precision lighting first, and if it genuinely does not need correction you will be told that.

  • Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people use Vanta. Dylan is a licensed mechanic, so logbook servicing, mechanical repairs, detailing, coating, film and tint are all handled under one roof rather than at three different businesses.

  • No. Under Australian consumer law your new car warranty stays intact when logbook servicing is carried out to the manufacturer's schedule using the correct specification parts and fluids. It does not have to be done by the dealership. Your logbook is stamped, which is the record that matters for warranty and resale.

  • No, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. A coating is a chemical layer measured in microns. It improves gloss, chemical resistance and how easily the car cleans, and it resists light marring, but it will not stop a stone off a truck. Paint protection film is the answer for physical impact.

  • Victoria sets a minimum light transmission of 35 percent for the front side windows, and 20 percent for the rear side windows and rear windscreen. The windscreen itself can only carry a strip along the top. The limits are confirmed against the current rules before your car is cut.

  • Two buckets, a clean mitt, a pH neutral shampoo, and top to bottom. Avoid automatic brush washes entirely, because they will mar a coated finish exactly as they would mar bare paint. You can always call and ask if you are unsure.

  • Dylan and Melisa. It is a family run business with over 10 years of experience, they personally handle every car, and nothing leaves the shop unless it is absolutely perfect. That is why the Google rating has never dropped a single star in 148+ reviews.

  • Both older and new. Some of the best results come off cars approaching a decade old, where correction makes a genuine difference before protection goes on. The work is matched to the car in front of us, whatever it is worth or however old it is.
