Local conditions
What Brick Township does to a vehicle
Brick cars live in two places. Most of the town is on the mainland. Brick Ocean Beaches I, II and III sit on the Barnegat Peninsula. Those beaches are not connected to the mainland. A beach booking is a different drive from Herbertsville or Breton Woods. Shore sun hits the peninsula cars. Mainland cars take Route 70, then sit in open driveways.
The Garden State Parkway opened through Brick in 1954. A housing boom ran from the 1950s through the 1980s. Lake Riviera, Laurelton and Baywood were built in that boom. Those are mainland streets we work on. Cars from those streets sit in July sun on open driveways.
Window tint is a real part of the work in Brick. Peninsula cars sit in shore sun. Mainland cars sit in Route 70 traffic, then in those open driveways. The July load on the glass is the same either way. Ceramic tint starts at $299. It rejects heat and has no metal layer. It blocks 99% of UVA and UVB.
Superstorm Sandy in October 2012 hit barrier-island and waterfront homes hard. The Shore Acres Yacht Club was one of the buildings damaged. That is the flood people here still remember. The December 2010 blizzard dropped 30 inches on Brick. That was the most snow recorded in the state. Salt air, a snow like that, and winter road salt are three films on the same paint. A spring wash does not clear all three.
The roads show up on the front of a Brick car. Parkway exits here are 89, 90 and 91. The Brick Township Park & Ride is at exit 91. Route 70, Route 88 and Route 35 carry the local traffic. So do CR 528 and CR 549. The old Laurelton Circle was where Route 70, Route 88 and Princeton Avenue met. It carried 95,000 vehicles a day. A traffic light replaced the circle in 1986. The cars are still there. They still brake, and the paint picks up chips and dust.
Coating is the fix for the salt on the paint, and it starts at $600. It stays dry for 24 hours and unwashed for 7 days. Tint is the fix for the sun on the glass, and it starts at $299. The drive is about 40 minutes, so a Brick visit is scheduled. Tell us if the car is on the mainland or at the three beach sections.
Property and parking
Brick homes from the boom after the Parkway opened in 1954 include Lake Riviera, Laurelton and Baywood. Most of the town is mainland. Brick Ocean Beaches I, II and III sit on the Barnegat Peninsula and are not connected to that mainland. We cover Herbertsville, Breton Woods, Cedar Bridge, Laurelton and Osbornville. We also cover Metedeconk, Shore Acres, West Mantoloking, Cherry Quay and Mandalay Park. Your car is on those mainland streets or on the three beach sections.
The local hazard
Salt air comes off the bay and the ocean. Sandy in October 2012 damaged barrier-island and waterfront property, including the Shore Acres Yacht Club. The December 2010 blizzard dropped 30 inches of snow. Winter road salt follows a storm of that size. Route 70 once carried 95,000 vehicles a day through the Laurelton Circle. Shore sun on the peninsula sections is hard on the glass. Tint is the direct answer for that glass. Coating is the answer for the salt.

Questions
Brick Township questions, answered
How long does it take you to reach Brick?
Brick is about 40 minutes from our base on Route 9 in Manalapan, 21.6 miles away. We schedule the visit, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm. Say if the car is on the mainland or at Brick Ocean Beaches I, II or III. Those beach sections are not connected to the rest of the town.
How much does detailing cost in Brick Township?
Basic cleaning in Brick starts at $199 for a coupe and $250 for a sedan. SUVs through large SUVs start at $299–$350, and clay bar and wax are $50 each. Ceramic coating starts at $600, ceramic window tint starts at $299, and marine ceramic coating is $150 per foot. The drive changes when we can come, and the price card stays the same.
Can you tint a car in Brick?
Yes, ceramic film at a Brick address starts at $299, blocks 99% of UVA and UVB, and has no metal. Phone, GPS and keyless entry still work. Most cars take 2 to 4 hours, and windows stay up for 3 to 5 days, longer in the cold. New Jersey allows no front side film, or film below the AS-1 line, but rear glass can be any darkness.
Does the December 2010 snow still matter for a car in Brick?
The storm is history, but Brick recorded 30 inches, the highest total in the state. A town that takes that much snow gets salted hard when the next one comes. Salt and salt air are why a spring wash does not reset a Brick commuter. Iron fallout, road film and chips down to metal need work before summer humidity sits in them.
What did Sandy change for cars kept near the water in Brick?
In October 2012, Sandy hit Brick waterfront and barrier-island homes hard, including the Shore Acres Yacht Club. That does not mean every driveway flooded. Waterfront and peninsula cars live with salt air that inland Monmouth streets do not. Coating starts at $600, stays dry 24 hours and unwashed 7 days, and the glass wants film.
Which Brick communities do you cover?
We cover Herbertsville, Breton Woods, Cedar Bridge, Laurelton and Osbornville. We also cover Metedeconk, Shore Acres, West Mantoloking, Cherry Quay and Mandalay Park. That includes Lake Riviera, Baywood and the three beach sections, in ZIPs 08723 and 08724. If the Brick street lets us work level with the doors open, we will say so at booking.
Do you work near the reservoir or Windward Beach?
Yes, Windward Beach Park in Brick is on the Metedeconk River. The Brick Township Reservoir covers 80 acres, with a 1.7-mile loop trail shared with Wall Township. We work at the address, including a marina, a park lot or a home. Boats are priced separately, from $150 per foot for marine ceramic coating.
Does traffic near the old Laurelton Circle chip paint in Brick?
Yes, in Brick the circle where Route 70, Route 88 and Princeton Avenue met carried 95,000 vehicles a day. A traffic light replaced it in 1986, and the traffic is still there. Front bumpers on Route 70 pick up stone chips faster than on a quiet street. Paint protection film stops a stone, coating from $600 will not, and we say which after we see the paint.
