Shyne

What Shyne does

Shyne, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, founder-owned mobile car detailing company founded in 2006 (as Get Down Auto Detail, rebranded to Wype in 2013 and to Shyne in 2017), headquartered in Glendale, California. The company operates with 1-10 employees and delivers pH-balanced hand-wash detailing, interior vacuuming, window cleaning, tire dressing, and specialty services (paint correction, ceramic coatings, deep interior shampooing) directly to the parking facilities of five partner luxury residential buildings across Los Angeles — Marina del Rey, Wilshire Corridor, Long Beach, and Beverly Hills.

The service is structured around a tiered subscription model: Bronze ($75/month, 2 washes), Silver ($135 every 4 weeks, 4 washes plus 10% add-on discount), and Gold ($185/month, 4 washes plus 1 wash & wax with priority scheduling and paint protection). À la carte Shyne Wash services start at $40 for sedans, with SUV surcharges of $5-10 and oversized vehicle surcharges of $30/month on subscriptions. Customers book entirely online via a Wix-hosted website with Stripe/Wix Payments (cashless), selecting their building, service tier, and vehicle via NHTSA database integration. Keys are dropped at front desk, valet, or in-garage per building protocol, and vehicles are serviced in the building's designated wash area without the resident being present.

Go-to-market is exclusively through channel partnerships with building management; building concierges and front desks function as on-site referral touchpoints, and each property has its own scheduled service day (e.g., The Carlyle on Thursdays, Two Eleven on Mondays). The company reports 30,000+ vehicles detailed across all three brand iterations since 2006 and over 10,000 services completed. Marketing beyond building partnerships consists of Instagram (organic), email/SMS via Klaviyo, Meta Pixel advertising, Google Analytics, and SEO. No external venture or private equity funding is disclosed.
