Eight Years of Revive Auto Detailing: A Journey of Growth, Gratitude, and Grit

Mar 31

We’ve come a long way!

Eight years ago, Revive Auto Detailing started with a simple mission—deliver top-tier detailing with a level of care and precision that set us apart. What we didn’t fully realize back then was just how much this journey would shape us, both professionally and personally.

As we celebrate our eighth anniversary, we can’t help but look back on the moments that got us here—the long nights, the early mornings, the challenges we weren’t sure we’d overcome, and the victories that made it all worth it.

From the First Detail to the First Certification

Back in the early days, it was just about getting the work done. Brent Mathieson, our founder, brought years of business experience, a relentless work ethic, and a deep love for cars. That foundation carried us through our first year, but as we grew, so did our ambitions.

We didn’t just want to be another detailing shop. We wanted to be the place that set the bar for quality. That’s why education became a core part of Revive’s DNA. It wasn’t enough to know what we were doing—we wanted to master it.

Fast forward to today, and we’re proud to say that Revive has three of only about 2 dozen IDA Skills Validated detailers in all of New England. That’s not just a credential; it’s a testament to the time, effort, and dedication we’ve poured into perfecting our craft.

The Cars, The Challenges, The Community

Over the years, we’ve worked on everything from everyday commuters to exotics, classic restorations to million-dollar machines. Each car has a story, and every detail job is a chance to bring it back to life.

But the real story of Revive isn’t just in the cars—it’s in the people. It’s in the customers who trust us with their prized possessions. It’s in the team that shows up every day, ready to learn, improve, and push themselves to be the best. It’s in the partnerships we’ve built, the events we’ve supported, and the friendships that have grown along the way.

What’s Next for Revive?

If the past eight years have taught us anything, it’s that growth never stops. We’ll keep pushing ourselves to be better, to refine our techniques, and to stay ahead of the curve. Whether it’s investing in new technology, expanding our knowledge, or finding new ways to serve our clients, we’re just getting started.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey—our customers, our team, our supporters—thank you. Your trust, loyalty, and enthusiasm have made Revive what it is today. Here’s to the next eight years and beyond.

If you’ve been part of our story, please feel free to share a memory with us. We’d love to hear how Revive has been part of your journey, too.

Through the years…
