Yeah.. everything of mine is monotoned. That was my vision from the beginning. My business cards are black/white/grey. Uniform grey/white. Same with the website. I believe it gives it a dramatic, yet professional appearance. Thanks!

Looks really nice! I like the restrained color palate and agree that it comes across as professional and stylish simultaneously.

Only suggestions include (1) experimenting with other ways to indicate the current page (instead of curly braces), and (2) perhaps doing something different with the car photo (the fact that it too has a drop shadow makes everything look a little too stacked--maybe try tilting it, or just integrating it a little more seamlessly with the body text area).

Just my .02. It looks sharp as-is and very clearly communicates "attention to detail." Nice stuff, dude.

I like it.. but instead of { } i'd use [ ] only cause I like things with sharp lines/edges.. but that's more a personal preference. overall the layout is clean and simple.

The picture should look larger and wider by about 25%. It's bit small in proportion to the page + it needs give the audience more detail/clues to what ur site is all about. Detailing...what!? If u had some soap, sprays, towel absorbent, pressure washer included in the pics, the target audience don't have to guess what your site is all about. They will say ahhh....professional high-end car wash....hmm....I wonder what the rates are and where are they located, what time? Where can I get some photo samples and testimonials. Well, those are some hints I consider important to get customers curious and proceed in clicking further. I used to sell car parts online as my own business for about 1.5 years and had about 800,000+ unique page hits/visitors. Also, it's all about keywords, unique service/product, word of mouth marketing, and interest networking. Good luck!

Btw, that white outline drawing of the car's curvature, reminds me of the S2000 CR commercial:
