All About Jacob

Jacob holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, and has specialized in Automotive Engineering since 2000. Hired by DaimlerChrysler right out of college, Jacob was engulfed in everything automotive, just where he wanted to be.

His desire to clean and protect his own car lead to lots of research and experimentation. Slowly, his collection of waxes, polishes, and tools (and a very shiny car!) caught the attention of friends and neighbors. After a few workshops and lots of practice, Jacob was detailing for clients.

In early 2009, Jacob formed AutoLavish, LLC., dedicated to providing the ultimate vehicle detailing service in Michigan.

All About Jacob

Marc Harris enlisted into the US Army soon after high school, where he served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Returning safely home and pausing from public serving, Marc enrolled in college and is pursuing a degree in Marketing. He loves loose fitting clothes and long walks on the beach after parachuting in at the break of dawn with an M203 strapped to his back.

Known by his Varsity Team Members as Captain and also as the guy with the cleanest ride, Marc admits to washing his car three times a week while in High School. Early indications of an obsession. Once Marc found his dream ride, it was all over. Marc quickly grew a collection of tools and products. His deep research quickly grew his knowledge of detailing products and processes to a world class level.

Once Marc and Jacob, having met through a local car club, worked together on a challenging car, they decided this was a prefect fit. Marc’s marketing skills, intelligence, and attention to detail make him a perfect fit for AutoLavish’s success.

Marc joined Jacob in AutoLavish soon after its formation in Summer 2009, and became partner in 2010.

All About Marc

Tim is an automotive enthusiast to the core. After a period working in the Engineering Industry he quickly realized the unbeatable reward of getting hands on, whether it be swapping motors or refining and protecting the perfect finish.

His life detailing started typically, with a black Chevy Camaro desperately in need of a helping hand and a fresh arsenal of product and equipment. Endless hours of research and experimentation quickly turned a desire for a clean, well showing car into a pursuit of paint correction excellence. The rest, as they say, is history. Tim has worked with Lotus preparing cars to be shown at the Detroit International Auto Show as well as the Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance.

Tim has the right mentality and the passion we seek in individuals. He prefers to raise the bar and gains intense personal satisfaction on doing the best work possible. And he works relentlessly! He is a great addition to the AutoLavish team. He became a key component and joined Marc and Jacob in late 2010.
