Facility Overview
Route 3D Detailing at 8233 State Hwy 96 in La Russell, Missouri, offers a convenient open-air surface lot designed primarily for client vehicle drop-offs, pickups, and short-term staging. Located directly off Missouri Route 96 in the scenic rural corridor of Jasper and Lawrence counties, the facility features an expansive outdoor perimeter with unobstructed driveways.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because State Highway 96 carries steady rural and commercial freight traffic at speeds of 55 to 60 mph, ensure you indicate your turn early and brake smoothly when approaching the property. For vehicle detailing appointments, calling ahead is recommended to arrange seamless drop-off and pickup times. If arriving during seasonal rainstorms or winter freezes, exercise caution on unimproved gravel shoulders and entry aprons.
