About Us

In 2009, owner Jaison Tortorea launched third_shift|studios (ts|s). The company name derived from doing freelance design after working his traditional 8-5 advertsing and marketing job. Jaison's formal education is a bachelor's degree in graphic and communication design from LaRoche University. Jaison's artistic background gives him the ability to approach auto finishing from a unique point of view, which results in a truly aesthetic finish.

 

Originally a mobile operation, ts|s Detailing was based in Cincinnati from November, 2009 until August, 2016. The Pittsburgh shop was first located in McKees Rocks then in 2019 expanded to a larger, 6,000 sq ft facility in West View, North Hills. The current shop is beautifully lit with giant windows spanning the lenght of the western wall. It features multiple detail bays and a seperate "clean room" with a scissor lift, ideal for wrapping and protecting vehicles.

 

In Fall of 2023, Bob Deer, a veteran detailer for many decades in the Pittsburgh region, joined ts|s Auto Finishing. Bob's Detailing was well known in the downtown area, strategically set up in the parking garages of the PPG Building & 11 Stanwix Street. From 2007 to 2021, Bob's Detailing offered exclusive services to executive clientele.

 

Together, ts|s Auto Finishing ft. Bob's Detailing, unites two industry powerhouses. Combined, the group boasts over 30 years of automotive experience, more than any other shop in the Pittsburgh area!
