Hear from Our Customers
When you trust us with your luxury vehicle, you’re not just getting a detail—you’re getting a restoration. Your car emerges with that deep, mirror-like finish that catches light differently than when it rolled off the showroom floor.
Paint imperfections disappear. Swirl marks vanish. Interior surfaces regain their original texture and scent. The difference isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about preserving the craftsmanship and value that drew you to this vehicle in the first place.
This is what happens when detailing meets precision engineering. Your investment stays protected, your pride of ownership gets renewed, and your vehicle maintains the condition that reflects your standards.
Legacy Motors and Marine has built our reputation around one simple principle: exotic and luxury vehicles require more than standard care. Based in Port Jefferson Station and serving Pine Neck, we’ve specialized in premium automotive services for collectors and enthusiasts who expect precision.
Long Island’s luxury car community knows that not every detailer understands the nuances of high-performance vehicles. Ground clearance concerns, delicate paint finishes, custom interiors—these details matter when you’re working on vehicles that represent significant investments.
We’ve equipped our facility with climate-controlled environments and professional-grade products because your vehicle deserves the same level of care you put into selecting it.
Every vehicle that enters our facility goes through a systematic evaluation first. We identify paint condition, note any existing imperfections, and develop a customized approach based on your vehicle’s specific needs and your goals.
The decontamination phase removes embedded contaminants that regular washing can’t touch. Paint correction follows, where we carefully eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, and other imperfections using professional-grade compounds and techniques.
Protection comes next—whether that’s ceramic coating application for long-term defense or traditional waxing for immediate gloss. Interior work happens simultaneously, with deep cleaning, conditioning, and protection of all surfaces. The final inspection ensures every detail meets our standards before your vehicle is ready for pickup.

Our full-service approach covers every aspect of automotive care your luxury vehicle requires. Paint correction removes years of accumulated imperfections, while ceramic coating provides up to 10 years of protection against environmental damage.
Interior detailing goes beyond basic cleaning—we restore leather, condition plastics, and eliminate odors using professional-grade products designed for luxury materials. For Pine Neck’s discerning vehicle owners, we understand that details like proper wheel care and engine bay cleaning contribute to overall vehicle presentation and value retention.
High-performance vehicles receive specialized attention for unique requirements like carbon fiber care, custom wrap protection, and delicate trim handling. Commercial fleet services are available for businesses requiring consistent, professional vehicle presentation.
Paint correction typically requires 1-3 days depending on your vehicle’s condition and the level of correction needed. Single-stage correction for light imperfections takes about 8-12 hours, while multi-stage correction for heavily swirled or scratched paint can extend to 2-3 days.
Ceramic coating application adds another day to the process since the paint must be perfectly prepared and the coating needs proper curing time in our climate-controlled environment. We never rush this process because proper preparation and application determine how well your coating performs over its lifespan.
Most luxury vehicle owners schedule their service over a long weekend, allowing us to complete everything without rushing while ensuring optimal results.
Exotic vehicles have unique requirements that standard detailing shops often overlook. Carbon fiber components need specialized products to avoid damage. Custom paint finishes require different correction techniques than standard automotive paints. Ground clearance issues mean we use different lifting equipment and work procedures.
We maintain climate-controlled environments because temperature and humidity affect how products cure and perform on high-end paint systems. Our technicians understand the difference between working on a daily driver and a collectible vehicle where every surface matters.
The products we use are selected specifically for luxury vehicle applications—not the same chemicals used on standard cars. This attention to detail is what preserves your vehicle’s value and maintains its showroom appearance.
Yes, we provide concierge-style pickup and delivery for clients who prefer the convenience. This service is particularly popular with Pine Neck residents who have busy schedules or multiple vehicles requiring attention.
Our enclosed transport ensures your vehicle remains protected during transit. We handle all the logistics—scheduling, pickup timing, and delivery coordination—so the process requires minimal disruption to your schedule.
The service includes a brief consultation at pickup to discuss your specific requirements and a walkthrough at delivery to review the completed work. This ensures you’re completely satisfied with the results before we consider the job finished.
Proper maintenance between professional services significantly extends your detail’s lifespan and protects your investment. We provide specific care instructions based on the services performed—ceramic-coated vehicles have different requirements than traditionally waxed cars.
For ceramic-coated vehicles, use only pH-neutral wash products and avoid automatic car washes that use harsh chemicals. Hand washing with proper techniques prevents scratching and maintains the coating’s hydrophobic properties.
Interior maintenance involves regular vacuuming, immediate cleanup of spills, and monthly conditioning of leather surfaces. We provide recommended product lists and can supply professional-grade maintenance products designed to work with the treatments we’ve applied to your vehicle.
Paint correction begins with thorough decontamination using clay bar treatment and chemical decontaminants to remove embedded particles. We then assess the paint using specialized lighting to identify all imperfections—swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation.
The correction process uses progressively finer abrasives to remove defects while preserving as much clear coat as possible. Single-stage correction handles light imperfections, while multi-stage correction addresses heavier damage through several polishing steps.
Each section is inspected under different lighting conditions to ensure complete defect removal. The process concludes with a final polish to maximize gloss and clarity before any protective coatings are applied. Paint thickness measurements are taken throughout to ensure we maintain safe clear coat levels.
Professional ceramic coating longevity depends on several factors including product quality, application technique, and maintenance practices. High-quality coatings like those we use typically provide 3-10 years of protection when properly maintained.
Environmental factors affect durability—vehicles stored indoors and driven occasionally maintain coating properties longer than daily drivers exposed to harsh conditions. Proper washing techniques and avoiding contamination are crucial for maximizing coating lifespan.
We provide detailed maintenance instructions and offer annual inspections to assess coating condition. Some coatings include warranty coverage, and we can perform touch-up applications if needed. The investment in quality coating pays off through reduced maintenance requirements and superior paint protection over time.
