Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
We started Darkside because premium detailing in Sydney has been overpriced for too long. The work, the products and the warranties don't have to cost a fortune.
Darkside is a small detailing team based in Castle Hill. We work on the kinds of cars we love driving ourselves — Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Audi, Range Rover and enthusiast Japanese vehicles.
We've been detailing for over five years. We're trained on Gtechniq, CarPro and Koch Chemie coating systems, and we work the same way every time: read the paint before touching it, decontaminate before correcting, correct before protecting, and leave a written record of what was done.
What sets us apart isn't the work itself — plenty of Sydney studios do good work. It's the honesty and the pricing. We'll tell you if your car doesn't need what you came in asking for, and we'll charge a fair price either way.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Honest assessments
We will tell you if your car doesn’t need a full service. If a refinement gets you 90% of the result of a full correction at half the price, that’s what we’ll recommend.
Real prices, in writing
You get a firm quote in writing before any work begins. No surprise add-ons, no high-pressure upsells, no “while we have it on the bench” tactics.
Premium products, fair prices
We use Gtechniq, CarPro and Koch Chemie systems. The same products as Sydney’s most expensive studios — at prices around 15–20% lower.
Servicing all of Sydney from Castle Hill.
The studio is in Castle Hill, easy to reach from anywhere in The Hills District. Many of our clients also come in from Sydney's Inner West, North Shore and Eastern Suburbs — the studio is set up to keep your car for the duration of the work and we're happy to coordinate pickup logistics for regular clients.
