About P1 Auto
Our Philosophy
Finding an auto detailer in Beaverton who understands what your vehicle actually needs, and delivers it at a fair price, should be simple. For us, it wasn’t.
Before starting this business, we searched all over Beaverton for a dependable mobile auto detailer we could trust. What we found instead were inflated prices, missed appointments, poor communication, and rushed jobs that did not live up to expectations. The experience was frustrating and disappointing.
That frustration became the foundation for how we operate today.
In the world of auto detailing, paint correction, and ceramic coating here in Beaverton, Oregon, our approach is simple. Deliver higher-end detailing that is convenient, honest, and accessible. No upsell pressure. No vague promises. Just straightforward services where you know exactly what you are getting and why it matters. That mindset still drives everything we do today.
We built this business around the four things every vehicle owner deserves:
A detailer you can call again, knowing the work will be done right
On-time service, without constant rescheduling or no-shows
Clear expectations about what is & is not possible for each vehicle
Pricing that makes sense, without cutting corners
Our Founder: Erick Alcazar
Right out of high school, Erick knew he wanted to be a business owner, even if the exact path was not clear at first. He already took pride in keeping his own environment clean and had a genuine passion for cars, so auto detailing felt like a natural fit.
The business started small. A personal sedan. A bucket of soap. A few towels. A used four-gallon shop vacuum. What it lacked in polish, it made up for in care, attention, and effort.
As demand grew, so did the commitment to doing things the right way. Erick invested heavily in professional courses and certifications focused on paint correction, ceramic coating, and liquid paint protection film (LPPF). He believes skill matters, education matters, and staying current in the industry matters.
Erick is a lifelong learner who continuously refines his techniques, tools, and processes so every client receives consistent, high-quality results. His goal has always been simple. Provide the kind of service he wished existed when he was the customer.
Erick was born and raised in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area where he currently resides with his fiancée, two dogs and baby girl.
