    We looked for the right place to get our Rivian wrapped for a couple months. Adonis was the perfect place! The owner is very communicative and knowledgeable. He sent us pictures and gave us updates throughout the whole process, even answering the thousands of questions we had! When we picked up the car it looked amazing! The ppf you couldn't even tell was on the car, no visible seams or noticeable edges. The tint was exactly what we were looking for. Chrome delete and emblem blackout made the car have its own unique and sleek look. Our Rivian arriving was so exciting to us, honestly picking up the car after Adonis worked on it was even more exciting. The car looks so good. I will be recommending to everyone!

    08/04/18: Unfortunately, had an issue with the tint on the windshield (ghosting from defective tint) which bugged me. Once again couldn't be happier with Tim's level of service. Quickly scheduled me (I'm usually busy on weekends as I work for a utility company) on a Saturday which I was lucky to be off. Without any hesitation said he would remove and re-tint the windshield. In the past I've usually had to put up a fight when claiming warranty work but not here @ Adonis. Tim wasn't sure if the issue was with the glass or with the tint but mentioned he wouldn't know until the film was removed. Keep in mind this film is hella $$$ and isn't exactly easy to tint. It was pretty amazing to see him remove the tint without any residual adhesive being left to clean. This made the re-tinting process super easy for the installers. Also, had Tim remove the console wrap that i installed from RPM Tesla which kept lifting. He replaced it with Xpel stealth and couldn't be happier now. If anyone is looking to purchase from them, I'd strongly advise you not to as their customer service is one of the worst I've experienced recently. Countless emails have now gone unanswered in close to 3 months. Only sad part was that our lil man got sick during this trip and we eventually had to put him down 2 weeks later, RIP Tobyjai

    Paint correction and ceramic coat.

    Took my vehicle to Adonis Detail -- and now my car looks like I just picked it up brand new from the dealership! Got a paint correction and a ceramic coat was applied as well. Tim and his team are very informative and knowledgeable AND sent updates as the work progressed. Extremely professional and friendly! If I could give this place 10 stars, I 100% would. Check this place out, you won't regret it!

    Tim at Adonis is a class act. There are so many great PPF/Paint Correction shops in San Diego county, it was a thought decision, but ultimately I went with Tim and couldn't be happier. He did a full front and rocker PPF with ceramic coating. The result was breathtaking and Tim made sure to double and triple check everything before taking delivery. Thanks Tim!

    During the first car that Adonis Detail corrected/ coated for us, he took a photo to show the difference in the before/ after.

    I manage a large private exotic car collection in North County San Diego (JMFPgarage.com), and we've been using Tim at Adonis Detail for quite some time, now. I believe that it's been since February or March. We sort of "tested" out Tim's business when the owner of the collection had Tim detail one of his daily driven cars. For that particular car, Tim did a full paint correction and CQuartz coating on the car. It was incredible how much of a difference it made! Tim also took the time to explain all of the damage that he found on the car, and he pointed it all out to us as well as took before and after photos. Since then, Adonis Detail has paint corrected and coated 5 more cars for us. On the 458, they removed the clear wrap from the entire car prior to paint correction and coating, and on the 993, Tim did a full wet sand prior. We currently have a long list of cars on the Adonis Detail to-do list, and I must say that after 6 cars, we are still incredibly happy with his services. I will update this review as we go along. I hope this has helped any of you who are looking for a detailer!

    Front PPF Xpel Ultimate Plus, Ceramic Coating, Photosync IRD 70 windshield
    T T.

    Took my car to Adonis based on the reviews here and various forums and wasn't disappointed. Tim took great care of my car and treated it like his own. He helped explain all the options and answered my many questions about products/options from competitors vs his own. After evaluating multiple locations, I choose Tim because I knew he himself would be working on my car and it wouldn't be an unknown technician working for a larger shop. He also fully charged my car before delivery. I got the Full Frontal PPF, Rocker PPF, Ceramic Coating Platinum, and Photosync IRD (70 on windshield and one piece rear, 55 on sides). This package also includes the side mirrors, center console and trunk bumper. Couldn't be happier with the end result. If there are any problems, I am confident that Tim will resolve it. He also owns and develops the formulations for the Ethos car product care line so he is constantly improving his products that can complement his coatings. Will definitely look to Tim for my future needs.

    2months and 2000 miles after Tim's work. ClearGuard Nano full frontal protection, Exclusive Series Coating on whole car, and 35% Photosync

    Read about Tim's work on some online forums. Decided to reach out to him before receiving my new car. He answered all my questions about the different products and benefits of each for my car. Ended up going with ClearGuard Nano full frontal protection, Exclusive Series Coating on the whole car, and 35% Photosync tint. Tim's communication was great the whole time and he finished on time and did a fabulous job. 2 months and 2000 miles later my car looks like new every single day. Keeping it clean is super easy and never have to work hard to keep it looking like new.

    Note: Work was done before end of 2016 but I gave it time before I felt comfortable with posting a review. My best present for Christmas 2016 was getting to know Tim at Adonis Detail. Christmas is not about 'things', it is about people and relationships. Meeting such an honest and hardworking individual like Tim gives me faith that there are people out their that value their reputation over "one and done" transactions. When it comes to services, we all need a GOTO person. When it comes to window tinting and paint protection films, Tim is my man. I have had 7 personally owned vehicles tinted/filmed by various vendors throughout Orange County. Being a diligent Yelper and car forums participant, I have successfully found excellent vendors that I have no complaints about. While I had no complaints, none of my other experiences were remarkable even though I felt they would have earned five stars. They earned five stars because they did what they promised. For people like Tim, Yelp really needs a system where you can grant 6 stars on a very limited and selected basis. Six stars is when you way over-deliver on what you paid for. The vehicle that I needed tint and paint protection film on is a Tesla Model X. It is a vehicle that requires someone experienced with Teslas, someone with an already established reputation working on high end cars, and someone who works with higher end tint and paint protection films. I had a short list of about half a dozen five star yelp vendors/Tesla Motor Club references that I decided to follow up on to work on our Model X. I interviewed them all for materials used, pricing and my gut feelings/experience from years of professional vendor valuation. Two of the six vendors I already had prior experience with. One of them did Xpel film on my wife's Audi Q5 a few years back. Another vendor I tested with our Chevy Volt while the Model X was on order. Trying to find the right balance of price/reputation/materials I selected Tim. Driving a Tesla means you are not broke. Driving a Tesla doesn't mean you are necessarily loaded either. I have to hope I made the right decision when it comes to this level of investment. One extra consideration was distance. I'm coming from Irvine so it takes me 90 minutes one way. I was hoping my efforts would pay off. One thing about car detail shops is you don't "really know" who ultimately touches your car. While the business itself might have a reputation, you don't have detail on the individual workers themselves. With Tim it's not taking to a salesman. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that Tim himself does all the paint protection film. I like it when all the accountability is with one person. For the work, I went with Complete Whole Car Specta Photosync Window Tint (Front Windows, Rear Windows, and Windshield) Complete Whole Car Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film (Front Bumper, Front Fenders, Hood, Mirrors, Lights, Rear Bumper, Rear Fenders, Four Doors, Trunk Lid, Wing, and Pillars) The majority of the work done was custom with few kits. What I especially liked was the attention to detail. Tim removed license plates and badges which necessitated a trip for Tim out to the Tesla Service center to buy new badges. I had Xpel before on my Q5 and the installer just cut around it.

    2014 328d after 100,000 miles

    5 years ago, I had Adonis install paint protection film on the front of my then new 2014 BMW 328d. The job was done absolutely beautiful with all the seams, etc lining up perfectly. But even more amazing is how the front of my car looks like after 100,000+ miles. It is perfect, no, but pretty close to it. I could not be happier with how the front of my car has held up, no chips, and film has not discolored at all.

    I just had my Tesla Model X fully wrapped with Adonis Detail. From start to finish Tim and his team did a superb job explaining the process, making recommendations on materials and did a fantastic job on the wrap! Couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the finest!

    Big thanks to Tim at Adonis Detail in Vista, CA. Tim did a fantastic job on my Model 3. I had Xpel Stealth (full wrap), Spectra Photosync 75/35, 3M 1080 satin vinyl chrome delete, and ceramic nano coating done on the Model 3. I did a ton of research on different PPF and tint products, pricing, and installers. I also visited various installers to see their work. Finally settled on Adonis after a couple of rounds of phone calls and emails with Tim. Tim was professional and super friendly throughout the whole process. So I finally decided to make the 100 mile trek from Los Angeles down to Vista. I really appreciated the pictures Tim sent throughout the week to show the work in progress. When it was done, I went through the car thoroughly and the quality of work is top notch. If you want quality work done on your Tesla, Tim is your guy.

The owner was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the different tint levels, what would work best, and what would actually look good on my car instead of just trying to upsell me. You can tell they really care about the quality of their work and customer experience. The tint came out amazing and looks super clean. One of the reasons I chose them was because I kept seeing reviews saying the work lasts and holds up well over time, and honestly, that's what made me trust them in the first place (even ChatGPT pointed me toward them because of their reviews ). Really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them.

Seriously, the car had never looked better until he gave it the best detail of its life. I completely trust Smith Bros. Ryan is honest. He found an item of value and notified me as to where he placed it. Tires are gleaming. Even the runner area is fresh and clean. Ryan even resolved the numerous smudges on my view screen down to the finest detail. He gave the sedan a Midas touch. Smith Bros even offered to go to Santee! They brought their mobile service to my employer's place of business. Really great customer support that is a rarity these days. Ryan is tops. I am super happy with the care that Ryan took in caring for my car. Smith Bros is ethical. They are safety-conscious, which shows they are the right company for the job. They truly seem to care about their customers and employees. What is most impressive is how they work as a team in a seamless manner. You just won't find quality detailing combined with exceptional customer service anywhere else.

Of special note is I had been driving around with dog hair in places I couldn't reach. Ryan even took care of that! Moreover, Ryan detailed areas I requested such as the headliner and trunk. Smith Bros is reputable throughout San Diego County. If you want your vehicle to be professionally and meticulously detailed by high-quality technicians who are enthusiastic about their craft, I highly recommend Smith Bros. The difference is incredible. Everything is amazingly clean. Don't risk entrusting any other company with the care one of your greatest assets. Contact Smith Bros.
