Hear from Our Customers
Your exotic car, luxury yacht, or collectible vehicle represents more than transportation. It’s an investment, a passion, and often a legacy.
When you choose Legacy Motors and Marine, you’re not getting a basic wash and wax. You’re getting precision detailing that understands the difference between maintaining a daily driver and preserving a seven-figure hypercar.
Every surface gets attention that matches the caliber of your asset. Interior leather receives meticulous conditioning. Paint gets corrected to eliminate swirls and imperfections. The result? Your vehicle maintains its market value while delivering that superior driving experience you expect.
Legacy Motors and Marine serves Hauppauge, NY and surrounding Long Island communities with a simple mission: protect what matters most to those who value performance, craftsmanship, and prestige.
We understand Long Island’s unique automotive culture. From the Gold Coast’s collector community to the Hamptons’ seasonal residents, we’ve built our reputation serving clients who refuse to compromise on quality.
Our Port Jefferson Station facility isn’t just another detail shop. It’s a climate-controlled environment designed specifically for high-end assets, with the security and discretion your investment deserves.
Your vehicle’s care begins with a thorough assessment. We examine every surface, identifying areas that need paint correction, interior restoration, or protective coatings.
Next comes the precision work. Hand washing removes surface contamination without damaging delicate finishes. Paint correction eliminates swirls and scratches using techniques designed for luxury vehicles. Interior detailing goes beyond vacuuming – we condition leather, treat textiles, and restore surfaces to factory specifications.
The final step focuses on protection. Whether it’s ceramic coating for long-term paint protection or specialized treatments for vintage collectibles, we ensure your investment stays protected against Long Island’s coastal environment and seasonal weather challenges.

Our comprehensive detailing services address every aspect of vehicle care. Full interior and exterior detailing transforms your car to showroom condition. Paint correction removes years of wear and imperfections. Ceramic coating provides long-term protection against UV damage and environmental contaminants.
For Hauppauge’s commercial fleet owners, our hand wash services maintain professional appearances that reflect your brand standards. High-performance vehicles receive specialized attention using products and techniques designed for exotic materials and finishes.
Vintage and collectible vehicles get custom care plans that preserve originality while addressing age-related concerns. We understand that a 1960s Ferrari requires different treatment than a modern Lamborghini, and our approach reflects that expertise.
Luxury vehicle detailing requires specialized knowledge, premium products, and techniques designed for high-end materials and finishes. Regular detailing focuses on basic cleaning and protection.
Luxury detailing addresses unique challenges like delicate paint systems, exotic interior materials, and complex electronic systems. We use pH-balanced products that won’t damage ceramic coatings or factory finishes. Our paint correction process can remove swirls and scratches that basic detailing can’t address.
The investment in proper luxury detailing pays dividends in maintained resale value and driving experience. A Ferrari detailed with economy products and techniques can actually lose value, while proper care preserves and often enhances the vehicle’s condition and worth.
The frequency depends on how you use your vehicle, storage conditions, and Long Island’s seasonal challenges. Most luxury vehicle owners benefit from professional detailing every 3-4 months for regularly driven cars.
Garage-kept collectibles or seasonal vehicles might need detailing twice yearly – once before storage and once before driving season. However, vehicles exposed to coastal salt air, like those driven to the Hamptons, may require more frequent attention to prevent corrosion and maintain finishes.
Commercial fleets or daily drivers in Hauppauge typically need monthly maintenance detailing to maintain professional appearances. We can create custom maintenance schedules based on your specific vehicle usage and storage conditions.
While our primary focus is our climate-controlled facility in Port Jefferson Station, we understand that some situations require mobile service. We offer selective mobile detailing for established clients with specific needs.
Our facility provides advantages that mobile service cannot match: controlled lighting for paint inspection, proper ventilation for product application, and security for high-value vehicles during extended detailing processes. Most luxury vehicle owners prefer the comprehensive care possible in our dedicated environment.
For routine maintenance between major details, we can discuss mobile options. However, services like paint correction, ceramic coating application, and comprehensive interior restoration require our facility’s controlled conditions for optimal results.
Our paint correction services range from single-stage polishing for light swirls to multi-stage correction for heavily damaged finishes. We assess each vehicle individually to determine the appropriate approach.
Single-stage correction addresses light swirls and minor imperfections using fine polishing compounds. Multi-stage correction tackles deeper scratches, oxidation, and severe swirl patterns through progressive abrasive steps. For show cars and concours vehicles, we offer wet sanding and refinishing services.
Every paint correction begins with thorough decontamination and assessment under professional lighting. We use machine polishers designed for luxury vehicle finishes, not the rotary buffers that can damage delicate paint systems. The goal is always maximum correction with minimal paint removal, preserving your vehicle’s long-term value.
Vintage and collectible vehicles require specialized knowledge and techniques that differ significantly from modern car care. We understand the unique challenges of preserving originality while addressing age-related deterioration.
Original paint systems, chrome trim, and period-correct interior materials need careful assessment before any work begins. We research each vehicle’s specifications and use period-appropriate products when necessary. Some vintage finishes require hand application techniques rather than machine polishing.
Documentation is crucial for collectible vehicles. We photograph before and after conditions, maintain detailed service records, and can provide documentation for insurance or sale purposes. Our goal is always preservation and enhancement of original condition rather than modernization that might affect authenticity and value.
Long Island’s coastal environment presents unique challenges: salt air, UV exposure, and temperature extremes require durable protection systems. We recommend ceramic coatings specifically formulated for marine environments and extreme weather conditions.
Professional-grade ceramic coatings provide 2-5 years of protection against salt corrosion, UV fading, and environmental contamination. These coatings create a hydrophobic barrier that makes washing easier and reduces maintenance requirements. For vehicles stored near the coast, ceramic coating is essential protection.
Application requires controlled conditions and proper surface preparation. The coating must cure in specific temperature and humidity ranges for optimal bonding. Our climate-controlled facility ensures proper application, while mobile coating services cannot guarantee these critical conditions. Proper ceramic coating application is an investment that pays dividends in reduced maintenance and preserved value.
