Mobile Detailing in Pemberton Heights

1920s streets, 100-year-old oaks.

Pemberton Heights has some of the oldest trees in Austin over some of its narrowest driveways, and everything they drop ends up on the car.

Pemberton Heights runs from Windsor Road and 24th Street up to Northwood Road, between MoPac on the west and Shoal Creek and Lamar on the east. It was built out in twelve sections between 1927 and the early 1940s, after the Austin Land Company put a bridge across Shoal Creek, and more than 25 structures here are city historic landmarks, among them the 1928 Windsor Road bridge and Pemberton Castle, the converted water tower that served as the subdivision's first sales office. Children are zoned to Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle and Austin High, and small triangle parks sit at the three-way intersections.

Streets laid out in the 1920s were drawn for smaller cars, and many of the driveways and garages here show it. Plenty of vehicles end up parked on the drive or at the curb, directly under oaks that have had close to a century to grow. What comes down from them (pollen in spring, sap, leaves, twigs and the odd acorn) collects in the cowl, around the sunroof and along the window seals, and the shade keeps surfaces damp longer after rain. A detail on a narrow, shaded drive is very doable as long as there's space to open the doors and walk around the car. The priorities are removing sap before it hardens, and sealing the paint so the next round washes off easily.

We work Pemberton Heights every week — detailing everything from daily wagons to garage-kept classics. All we need from the house is an outdoor spigot and an outlet.
