Ryan wrapped my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport in August of 2019 after 2 years of Route 73 abuse. The result, a better than showroom finish. More than one year later still looking great. Ryan's attention to detail is superb.

Ryan has been the only person I trust to detail my car and he has been detailing my vehicle for at least 3 years. He has performed paint correction, wrapped my car in PPF, and has applied ceramic coating to the entire car.Ryan’s meticulous nature as well as his attention to detail lines up perfectly with my own qualities. From the moment I met him I knew I could trust him without any doubts. Ryan’s attention to detail is not something you will find when you settle for a detail at a regular car wash. The detail Ryan provides is on a whole other level. The high standards that Ryan holds himself to are unmatched and will guarantee that your vehicle will be close to perfect when completed.I highly recommend Ryan for his excellent work and professionalism both in and out of his shop. He will work with you in order to work around a complicated schedule if one exists. So If you’re looking for PPF application, paint correction, ceramic coating, detailing, etc. then look no further than Classic Auto Fitness.

Ryan used to be the best around years ago, but his techniques and his polishes are old school. Old buffers and miscut 3M pieces caused me to stop bringing my expensive cars to him. My M5 is being done by Autobella Detailing - owner Mike Sabatino uses the latest waxes and polishes and is the best I have ever seen. Its a shame Ryan has not kept up with the times, but I guess everyone loses their touch eventually Ryan and I used to be good friends for a good number of years until he scammed me, along with his attorney, Matthew Zabel, a low level attorney with a checkered past, for over 500.00. Claimed he needed child support, and after I lent him 1200 in dec 19 to keep his business open, he took the 514.80 via his attorney's Paypal personal account, and to this date has never returned it. I also asked for a receipt from Family Court as I am certain the 500+ was not used as he claimed it to be, and neither he nor his attorney have provided that either. I cant befriend or continue to do business with a cheat, scammer, and a narcissist

Update: I did not want to admit to Ryan that I did on occasion take my car to the "NO TOUCH" car wash. Long story: June 11, 2018, I worked on my antique car over the weekend in the garage doing some airbrushing. The next day I found that some of the over spray hit the A4. The tiny specs of paint were almost fully atomized/dryed but they had stuck on the car. It was supposed to be over 90 deg in the sun that day so I thought I would "blow" of the paint dust with a quick wash on the way to work. Good plan..... till the car wash went berserk and the spray wand slammed into the fender and scraped down the car only to stop at the mirror. My friend happens to own the car wash and he told me that the laser went bad and it could not gauge the car size. Bad Day... The Xpel on the fender protected the car from the spray nozzle gash! But... the wand moved to the door and produced a heavy gash in the pain. It needed to be repainted. When they repaint, they need to blend the color from the fender to the door so they had to pull the film off the fender. I called Ryan and he was super sympathetic. He began offering options. He even suggested getting another white Audi door to keep the paint factory! I opted to go the repaint route but I went to the Audi dealer. The paint turned out fantastic. I then needed to wait about 2 months before I could put film on it. Early Nov, I texted Ryan and set up a date to bring the car to him. I dropped off the car and came back 2 days later. When I arrived and looked at what he did, I was stunned. He totally detailed the entire car, including under the hood. He did some maintenance on the now 1.5 year old film and did a thorough film cleaning (white car). The car looked like new again! Ryan only charged me for the film/ceramic touch up work. I never received a demerit from Ryan for using the automated car wash:). As others have said, Ryan is the best at what he does. I'll add that he also treats customers extremely well and follows up; days, weeks, months, (years) later to see how it's going.

Ryan at Classic installed Xpel on my car. The installation is flawless. Ryan takes the time to completely clean and prep the paint and then painstakingly applies the clear film. Highly recommended.

First and foremost Ryan is hands down the best in the business. I purchased a brand new 2017 Yamaha FZ-09 and after thinking about getting the entire bike ceramic coated I stumbled across Xpel paint protection film. After seeing videos on how resilient the film is and the protection it offers versus just ceramic coating I was sold. Now Xpel is traditionally installed on cars and trucks, but a motorcycle can become tricky to say the least. I did my research and found the highest rated shop certified in Xpel film installation which led to a phone call to Ryan Kates at Classic Auto Fitness. I could tell right away Ryan was the one for the job. We spoke on the phone multiple times and I had found a kit cut specifically for the FZ-09, which included 3 tank pieces, fender protection, etc. The price we negotiated only including installation of the kit. The thing about Ryan is if he isn't happy with the outcome, even slightly, he will find a way to make it right. Got a call from Ryan and learned the kit wasn't the ultimate answer and it wasn't up to his standards. Their was nothing "wrong" with the kit, it just wasn't his vision of the best possible outcome for my bike. Ryan went ahead with fully wrapping the tank with one piece of Xpel. A completely custom job only done to make me happy with the outcome! I'm sure for almost any other installer it would be an impossible job. The tank itself consists of turns and bends that the film had to be manipulated to and stay that way. Ryan also wrapped the fender, side covers, and under seat covers for me, for no additional charge. Another extra he threw in was a 7 year ceramic coating on my bike! It now shines like glass, is 100% protected from rock chips, scratches, swirls and you can't even tell it has an Xpel wrap other than the additional gloss! People constantly ask how my bike is so glossy without even noticing it is wrapped. I have a lot of respect for Ryan going all out and knocking this job out of the park and honoring the price he quoted me for only installing the original kit. If you are looking to get your car/truck/bike wrapped this is your guy! Ryan has become a good friend through this process and I highly recommend him to friends and family!

There is nothing else to say besides that Ryan is incredible. He takes great pride in his work and goes the extra mile on every single job. Ryan put Opticoat on my car and I can't get over how amazing it looks. He cleaned parts of the car (underneath the exhaust, deep into wheel wells, etc.) that I would never expect any shop to do. It doesn't even do it justice to say the car looked better than the day I picked it up new from the dealership. It probably looks better than when it first came off the assembly line. Besides Opticoat, I saw Ryan's work with paint protection film and as expected it was excellent. He wrapped all the edges and the film was practically invisible on the car. The installer is everything when getting paint protection film and Ryan's work is a masterpiece! I can't say it enough Ryan is a rarity in this business and frankly any business because he genuinely takes great care and pride in his work, and does 200% every single time. I am very OCD about my car and I am so happy to have found someone that I have full faith and confidence in!

I am extremely particular when it comes to my car, and I highly recommend Classic Auto Fitness Center. In 27 years of driving, I have never been satisfied with a detailer until now. Ryan is a pleasure to deal with. He clearly takes pride in his work, which is very hard to find these days. Most importantly, he does a spectacular job. If your car is just transportation to you, he is not your guy. However, if you appreciate a great looking car that looks better than the day you bought it, then you want to give him a try. You won't be disappointed.
