Broken cable to dashcam because it was closed on outside of vehicle.

More than 2x the original price caught me off guard. I'm a small business owner, so I understand the value of charging for your time and effort, and I appreciate that Dennis Auto Detailing offers convenient mobile services. I needed a standard interior cleaning for my 2014 Ford Focus and was initially quoted $189, which I was prepared to pay given my tight schedule and previous rescheduling due to weather. However, the final price more than doubled due to what they called "condition-based" upselling, which caught me off guard. I get upsells for things like stain removal, but I was disappointed that the price increase wasn't communicated clearly upfront, and I ended up paying $387.11 out the door. Also, though the cleaning quality was fine, the way the technicians handled my dash cam cord was careless--it was left hanging out instead of tucked back into the car ceiling and the charging portion was left hanging out of the door and ended up breaking when I started driving. They also left trash like expo markers around my car, which felt disrespectful to me and the neighborhood. The most unfortunate part was when I raised the concern about an over doubling of price as a first time client, their response was largely dismissive and defensive, repeatedly citing the terms and conditions I supposedly agreed to without addressing the substance of the issues. As someone who values good client relationships and transparent communication in business, this was frustrating and not how I've seen successful local companies operate. While the cleaning itself was fine, the pricing surprise, property damage, leftover trash, and poor customer service means I can't recommend Dennis Auto Detailing right now. I hope they improve their communication, process, and respect for customers, as customer feedback is probably the most valuable thing a company can have.

Dennis at Dennis Auto Details did an awesome job on my Tesla Model Y. I had some tough mineral water spots that I just couldn't get off, and he completely restored the paint. He also put on a 5-year ceramic coating, and now the car honestly looks brand new again. What I liked most was how knowledgeable he is. He explained the ceramic coating process, paint protection, and gave me tips on how to keep the finish looking good long term. Super helpful and easy to talk to. The fact that he offers San Diego mobile detailing is a huge bonus. His setup is legit with no cutting corners even though his team came to me. It felt like I got shop quality work right in my driveway. If you're looking for auto detailing in San Diego or want a ceramic coating for your car, I'd definitely recommend Dennis. Really happy with how my car turned out! 5 Stars all around!

Even has his own air fresheners

I cannot say enough about Dennis Auto Details for your car detailing needs. I called around for quotes to have my son's cars detailed as a Christmas gift. Dennis Auto Detail was professional, friendly and precise in what they provide, where other services I called bounced around their prices for the services we wanted. Dennis and his Team accommodated our schedule and on the day of their arrival they notified us on their ETA. They arrived on time and inspected both vehicles with us to confirm the service we wanted. It took about 4+ hours. The vehicles that were detailed are a 2010 Dodge Charger and 2017 Honda Civic and they did an amazing job in and out. I wish I took before pictures, because the transformation is amazing. I will definitely use Dennis Auto Details mobile service again.

I contacted Dennis yesterday and he was quick to respond with not only the lowest quote that I received but was able to schedule the service the next morning. I did a full exterior detail with a ceramic coat and my Audi Q7 has never looked better. I had been up to the Joshua Tree area and had some scratches along each side of the car from scrub brush while driving off road and he made them disappear. Great guy to deal with, very personable and responsive to any questions or concerns. highly recommend.

I dumped 3 gallons of water on the floor of my beloved WRX so I called Dennis and he came out same day to give me a quote to perform water reclamation on the floor and full interior leather detail. Came back two days later to complete the job. There's still water underer the carpet but he did his best to remove as much as he could. He did an amazing job treating the leather and cleaning the dashboard and console area. The pictures don't do his work justice. He's going to come back after the rain stops and do an exterior detail and give me a quote for paint correction too. Thanks Dennis, for taking care of my baby!

I never write reviews, so even the fact that I feel compelled to write this one speaks volumes…read more The service, professionalism, and friendliness I have repeatedly received from Wasim, the owner, is simply the best I have ever experienced from any business of any kind. I brought in my brand new Audi R8 for window tinting and paint protection film. I am very particular with my cars, always detailing and waxing myself because I don't trust anybody, and I quickly grew to appreciate Wasim's passion for his work and his relentless pursuit of perfection in all that he does. (Yes, I stole that phrase from a movie but it really applies here). I was so impressed with the work he did that I brought it back for wheel protection coating (black powder-coated wheels that are very susceptible to visible blemishes/deterioration), and I referred my girlfriend to him for mobile detail & paint polishing on her black 911 4S convertible (on which he polished away significant swirl marks /fine scratches to leave a stunning showroom gloss). The results of every one of these services was flawless to the point that I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend him to anyone. In fact, now my girlfriend will be bringing her 911 to him for window tinting and some minor dent removal in a week or so. But what really sets this business apart from others is how important Wasim makes his customers feel. He is grateful for the opportunity to work on every car that comes through his shop, whether it is a Bentley or a Honda, and treats each one as if it is a priceless, one-of-a-kind showpiece. Please look at his Instagram and you will see what I am talking about. Or better yet, stop by his shop and let him show you whatever he is working on at the moment. Each time I picked up my car, it was cleaner than when I brought it in. Spotless, in fact. When I picked up my R8 the first time, he wasn't happy with an imperfection in the paint film that I couldn't even see, so he redid two sections and encouraged me to watch while he explained the process. How many service providers actually want you to watch them work?!!! He must have spent 30 minutes or more telling me all the detailing tips and products because I was interested in maintaining my own cars. After ceramic-coating my wheels, which requires removal, he told me the spec to which he re-torqued the lug nuts because he knew I cared about that. I could go on endlessly with numerous examples about how transparent and informative he has been, but if you've bothered to read this far I'll simply say that the amount of time Wasim has spent showing me the options, products, how they perform, how to maintain them, etc, to keep my new dream car and also my daily driver looking like they just rolled off the showroom floor, is probably more than most professionals would have spent doing the actual work. His passion, perfectionism, and total transparency, on top of his amazing work, are just beyond anything I have ever experienced. The attached pictures of my R8 are ones that he took after tinting the windows. They look like they were done by an professional photographer, so I guess you can add that to his list of talents!

Wonderful customer service and great job tinting new vehicle! I would highly recommend!!read more

Marvin did an excellent job in removing paint from my car. How did I end up in this situation? Well…read moreI was driving to work and when I made a turn, someone's truck in front of me dropped a can of light gray paint on the road and splashed it on my white car. I was so upset because I didn't know how bad it looked until I got home. I tried removing it with alcohol but the paint wouldn't come off. I was also afraid of using a stronger chemical because I di want to strip off the original paint color. I reached out to Marvin on Yelp and he responded quickly. He has many years in the auto detailing industry, so I trust him with this job. His price was reasonable. He showed up promptly to my house and had all his equipments ready in his truck. He went through the process of washing, using clay bar, in addition to waxing and polishing the car. I liked that he was very careful about removing the paint off the plastic parts without causing discoloration. The challenging part was removing the paint from the bumper and behind the tires but he did it! I'm very pleased with the results and I look forward to getting my car detailed interior and exterior with Marvin next time.

Great work! I reached out for interior cleaning/detailing and Marvin responded promptly and was at…read moremy home the next day. Very happy with their quality of service at a very reasonable price. I wish I had taken "before" photos but I had a fair amount of seat stains and the floor had lots of sand/dirt.
