About Stephen

Stephen is a vehicle technician and has worked in a body shop for years. The valeting started in 2020, during lockdown: people started asking for their cars done, word got round, and it took off from there. This year he bought the van, invested in professional equipment and set up STG Mobile Valeting & Detailing as a proper mobile service across Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians.

The idea is simple: most people do not have a spare half-day to sit in a waiting room while their car is cleaned. So the van, the water, the machines and the products all come to you — at home, at work, wherever the car is parked — and the job is done properly on the spot.

That covers everything from a straightforward valet through to interior deep cleans, paintwork decontamination, machine polishing and long-term protection. Cars that have had a deep clean can go onto the maintenance programme, so they never slide back to where they started.

Because it is one person, the standard does not change between visits and you always know who is turning up. If something is not right, you speak to the man who did the work. Ask him what he enjoys about it and the answer is the customer's face when the car is handed back — it is always a good job.
