Hi, I'm Mostafa.This Is Obsidian Auto.
I've been a car and motorcycle guy my whole life. Obsidian Auto is the Calgary detailing and paint protection studio I built around one rule I'm honestly a little obsessive about: do it once, do it right — and tell you the truth about what your car actually needs.

How This Actually Started.
I didn't set out to build a studio. I started out of a van in 2020 as Wash My Ride, detailing cars in Calgary driveways because I loved doing it and I was tired of seeing good paint get wrecked by careless work. That van turned into a real shop and a Consumer Choice Award winner (2022–2025), and the obsession never left — I still inspect every car before it leaves.
Somewhere along the way it stopped being about making cars shiny for a weekend and became about protecting them for years. That's the whole point of what we do now — PPF, ceramic coating, tint, correction. The 696+ reviews at 4.9 stars are nice, but they're really just people saying we treated their car like it was our own. Daily driver or weekend toy, I don't have two standards.
"I'll tell you when you don't need the expensive package."
The Passion Behind The Precision
I've been into cars and motorcycles for as long as I can remember — the kind of kid who noticed swirl marks in a parking lot. When I started Wash My Ride in 2020, it wasn't a business plan so much as a way to get paid doing the thing I'd have done for free: making paint look right and keeping it that way.
The more I worked, the more I obsessed over how paint actually behaves — how it chips on Deerfoot, how it dulls under Calgary's high-UV sun, how a bad wash puts more scratches in than it takes out. I'm mildly OCD about getting it right, and I've stopped apologizing for it. That's what turned a detailing van into a paint protection studio.
Rebranding to Obsidian Auto in 2025 wasn't just a new sign on the door — it was me committing fully to protection: ceramic coating, PPF, tint, correction. I still put hands on the work and eyes on every car before it goes home. If it wouldn't pass on my own vehicle, it doesn't leave the shop.
I'd rather lose the sale than sell you protection your car doesn't actually need.

Milestones Along The Way
- 2020
It started in driveways
I launched Wash My Ride — mobile detailing out of a single van, going driveway to driveway across Calgary. No storefront, just me, my kit, and a stubborn habit of not leaving until the finish was perfect.
- 2021
Word got around
Turns out people notice when you actually care. The mobile detailing bookings kept coming, mostly from referrals — one clean car in a driveway sold the next one on the street.
- 2022
From cleaning to protecting
The more paint I worked on, the more I wanted to stop damage before it happened. I leaned hard into ceramic coating and paint protection film — because a great detail lasts a weekend, but real protection lasts years.

Recognized by Calgary
Consumer Choice Award winner 2022–2025, first as Wash My Ride, then as Obsidian Auto. I'm proud of the hardware, but prouder of where it came from — customers who got a straight answer about what their car actually needed.

Obsidian Auto is born
New name, real studio: Wash My Ride became Obsidian Auto. I moved out of the van into a climate-controlled shop, invested in proper equipment and digital cutting, and went all-in as a paint protection studio instead of a mobile wash — PPF, ceramic coating, tint, paint correction, undercoating, windshield film, dent repair, with online booking and pricing you can see before you ever pick up the phone. Same rule as the van days: do it once, do it right.

Still picky, still here
696+ reviews at 4.9 stars and counting. The number I actually care about is how many of them mention we told someone the truth about what their car needed — that's the whole business plan.
What I'm Actually Trying To Do.
Simple: protect your car the way I'd protect mine, and be straight with you about what that takes. The right film or coating for how you actually drive — not the biggest invoice I can write. Good products, careful prep, and no shortcuts where they'd cost you down the road.
Where I Want This To Go
I want Obsidian Auto to be the Calgary shop people send their friends to — the one with the reputation you can't fake, built one honest job at a time. Not the biggest. The one you trust.
Precision
I notice the edges most people miss. If a wrap line or a corner isn't right, it gets redone.
Enthusiast First
I drive this stuff too. Your car gets the exact care I'd give my own — same film, same fuss.
Straight Talk
I'll tell you what your car needs and what it doesn't. No upsell theatre, no scare tactics.
Do It Once
Proper prep, quality film and coatings, digital cutting. Done right the first time so it lasts.
Bring Me Your Car.
Daily driver or weekend toy, I'd love to look after it. Tell me what you drive and how you drive it, and I'll give you a straight answer on what's actually worth doing.
