DECADES of Excellence

Our history

  • 1987

    Madison Auto Trim is started by Ron Stevens. Ron is a one-man show for years! He would stock his van with all the tools to provide door-to-door services and install over 10,000 sunroofs!

  • 1997

    The first retail location opens a few blocks off the capitol on East Washington Avenue. Madison Auto Trim takes over all the detailing services for all the Don Miller locations. Retail detailing and sales begin.

  • 1998

    Don Miller opens a new west side location and Chad Stevens becomes General Manager of all detailing.

  • 2001

    Madison Auto Trim moves into its current 18,000 square foot location off High Crossing Blvd. Tim Stevens becomes General Manager of the East Location. Services expand to body repair, painting, vehicle accessories, and MAT now has a retail showroom.
