Harford Auto Studio is an independent vehicle protection studio in Taylors Beach, serving Port Stephens Since 2024.
Harford Auto Studio was founded by Charlie Harford after chasing the perfect finish — first in detailing, then in coatings, then films.
The mission was simple: build a studio where the work that goes onto your paint is done the same way Charlie would want it done on his own car. That meant climate-controlled premises, manufacturer accreditations, and a small team where every install is signed off personally.
No outsourcing. No shortcuts. No hidden upsells at handover.
500+ cars later, we're still the same setup. Still in Taylors Beach. Still doing it the way we'd want it done.
Founded the studio in 2024. XPEL and GTECHNIQ certified. Lives for paint correction and the perfect finish. The person who personally signs off on every car that leaves the studio.
Our coating specialist. Every surface meticulously prepped, corrected, and coated - delivering maximum gloss, durability, and long-term protection..
All-round specialist. From detailing to coatings andprotection systems, deliversconsistent, high-quality finishes across every aspect of vehicle care with a focuson precision and durability.
Every coating, film and tint at Harford is fitted in a sealed, temperature-controlled space. The bay's lighting is calibrated for paint correction. The floors are epoxied. The walls are matte black.
It's not décor. It's the environment the work requires. Coatings cure differently in dust. Films bond differently in heat. Tints bubble differently in the wrong humidity. We control all of it.
