The Car Spa by Touch of Class
Touch of Class has been part of the Miami Beach community since 1989. What began as a small, family-owned automotive business has grown, over more than three decades, into one of the most trusted names in vehicle care in South Florida. And now, we are opening a new chapter.
Touch of Class, The Car Spa is our newest venture, born from years of client requests and a genuine gap in the market.
This is not a side project. It is the natural extension of everything we have always stood for: precision, care, and a standard of quality that simply does not compromise.
Our story, three decades in the making.
Founded in 1989, Touch of Class Paint and Body Shop started as a small family operation on Miami Beach.
Over the years, through changing ownership and an evolving city, it grew into a cornerstone of the local automotive community, trusted by everyday drivers, collectors, and enthusiasts alike for high-quality bodywork, paint repair, and customization.
Now entering its next chapter under new ownership, Touch of Class is expanding its vision. The same philosophy that built the original shop, meticulous attention to detail, genuine care for every vehicle, and a refusal to cut corners, now extends to a full-service car spa experience.
1801 Bay Road, where history lives.
Our shop is located at 1801 Bay Road, Miami Beach, in a building with a remarkable past. This address was once home to the recording studio where the Bee Gees created some of their most iconic music. The same walls that housed that creative legacy now house ours.
We find that fitting. The Bee Gees were perfectionists. They understood that greatness is in the details, in the layers, in the craft that most people never see but everyone feels. That is exactly how we approach every vehicle that comes through our doors.
"The same attention to detail and craftsmanship that shaped musical history here is reflected in every vehicle we care for."
Why we call it "The Car Spa"
The name is deliberate, and so is the thinking behind it.
We believe your vehicle is a piece of property with real value, and it deserves to be treated that way. The same care you give yourself, your home, and everything you take pride in, that is the care your vehicle deserves too.
Think about it. Your car is one of the most visible things about you. Whether it is yours or a lease, it reflects who you are every single day. It is what people see when you pull up. It is what you step into every morning. Like your home, like your appearance, it tells a story about how you carry yourself and how much you value what is yours.
Most people would not let their home go weeks without cleaning. They would not walk into an important meeting looking less than their best. Yet the same vehicle they drive every day, the one everyone sees, gets run through a machine that scratches the paint and calls it clean.
That is why we are a spa, not a car wash. A spa treats. It restores. It protects. It takes its time and does the job properly. That is exactly what we do, and it is exactly what your vehicle deserves.
"A car spa is not a luxury. It is the right level of care for something you use every day, something that represents you, something worth maintaining."
Why we opened The Car Spa
For years, clients who brought their vehicles to Touch of Class for Paint and Body Shop asked the same question: where can I get a proper wash and detail in Miami Beach? The answer was never satisfying. Two other car washes operate in the area, but neither met the standard our clients were accustomed to.
We have always fully detailed every vehicle before returning it to a client. That has been our practice since day one. So we already had the expertise, the equipment, the products, and the eye for it. We also held the license. After years of thought and consistent client demand, the decision was clear.
Touch of Class, The Car Spa opened last month, and it was built specifically for clients who refuse to settle for less than the best.
Our philosophy: the ritual approach
We do not call our services packages or options. We call them Rituals. That word is intentional.
A ritual is deliberate. It is unhurried. It is performed with full attention and a defined sequence of steps, each one building on the last. That is exactly how we approach vehicle care. Not a checklist to rush through, but a process to honor, from the first high-pressure warm water rinse to the final inspection under dedicated lighting.
Every vehicle that leaves Touch of Class, The Car Spa has been treated with the same care and precision as a vehicle coming out of our paint and body shop. That is our standard, and it does not change based on the service level chosen.
"A car spa is not a luxury. It is the right level of care for something you use every day, something that represents you, something worth maintaining."
