Meet OUr Team
Austin Pruett
Owner
Austin started Fort Worth Auto Detail in 2021 with $500 and a standard nobody around him was meeting. What followed was four years of obsessive execution that grew FWAD into one of the most credentialed vehicle protection shops in the country. He holds three master's degrees, but the education he's most proud of happened on the shop floor. Outside of work, he's a husband of 11 years and a dad to two kids a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son they're lucky enough to call their own.
Stephen Sneed
Client Experience
Sneed actually used to be Austin's boss. Somewhere along the way, the tables turned. With 13 years in high-touch sales, Sneed is the kind of person who genuinely loves talking to people and it shows. He has a rare ability to make a complex decision feel simple and a new client feel like a longtime friend. If you've ever called the shop and hung up feeling like you already trusted us, that's Sneed.
Darren Canaveral
Lead Film Installer
Twenty years in. Darren isn't just one of the best film installers we've ever seen he's one of the best in the industry, full stop. Early in his career, he was creating the cutting patterns that other installers across the country and around the world still use today. He brings that same precision and craftsmanship to every vehicle that comes through our doors
Charles Sanders
Film Technician
Charles came to us with seven years of film experience and a background in the military which tells you everything you need to know about how he operates. Detail-oriented, disciplined, and steady under pressure. He's our newest team member and already one of our most reliable. Honestly, he fit in here like he'd been doing it all along.
Zach Godbey
Detail Technician
Zach has been with us through college, doing a little bit of everything in detail, coatings, film and doing all of it well. He recently graduated and decided to put down roots in Fort Worth, which means we get to keep him. There's something to be said for someone who grew up inside a shop and chose to stay. Zach is that guy.
Christopher Flores
Detail Technician
Chris has been part of the FWAD crew for years, and his experience shows in the quality and consistency of his work. He's the kind of person who cares how something turns out even when no one's watching and in this shop, that matters more than most things.
Alberto Davila
Detail Technician
Alberto has been with us longer than anyone on the team. He shows up early, works hard, and doesn't cut corners not because someone's watching, but because that's just who he is. If you want to know what the culture of this shop actually looks like in practice, watch Alberto work for ten minutes.
SanJuan LaBord II
Media & Content
SJ started as a detailer, picked up film work along the way, and somehow ended up being the person who tells our story to the world. He handles all of our social media, YouTube, photography, and advertising and does it well enough that people find us before they even know they're looking. He is, by all accounts, a lousy chess player. We keep him around anyway.
