Brett S.

I am very happy with DETL's work. My car is 13 years old and has always been parked outside. While I take care of it, it hasn't been detailed in a while and had a lot of issues, including fallout and foggy, yellowed headlights. Edward was very professional and meticulous, completing the job quickly. A task expected to take four hours was finished in just 3.5 hours, without missing a single detail. (paint correction and headlight restoration)

Honest,hard working detailer. Ed fixes the scratch on the piano black pillars that the dealer messed up when i purchased the car. The fix looks as if he replaced the pillar with new part, and car wash is amazing. Price is fair. Highly recommended, you will also get tips on how to take care your car.

Excellent work done on my tessie!

The quality of work done with a wash, wax, and interior cleaning was beyond expectations. The value for the job was also well worth the price. There was definitely pride taken with the tasks given. Thank you, Andrew Wiggers

Awesome work!! I was given there number by a friend who had there RV cleaned and detailed regularly. I called and talked with Edward over the phone to set something up. Very professional, really like the updates and digital appointment reminders. Showed up on time, did an amazing job on my 35FT RV, not a single bug on the front, no streaks anywhere I was not home when he finished so he sent me a video of it being done, just an all around very professional business to deal with and his prices are great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Great attention to detail, left my truck looking spotless. Great pricing on services and extremely convenient. Highly recommend if you want your cars looking showroom ready!

Clean truck!

Great job on my truck. It's only three years old but needed some TLC. He cleaned up the exterior, interior and the engine compartment. I highly recommend his service!

After

DETL did a great job on my car. My husband detailed my car and used the wrong tool/technique. This resulted in hologram patterns and wax residue on my car. It's only a year old and it was bothering me so much how the paint looked. The owner came out for a free estimate and was able to book me within a couple days. He came and worked on New Year's Day at 7am which was great. He got my car done in a few hours, so I was able to have the rest of the day. My car looks so much better, we did paint restoration treatment and he conditioned the plastic trim. I will definitely be recommending this company to my friends/family and getting future details for my car.

We chose them because of their great reviews, competitive pricing, and their positive attitude when we first called them. They educated us on everything we needed to know related to tint, wrap, and ceramic coating and gave us some options that weren't even on our radar. No high pressure sales tactics, just knowledge presented in a confident manner letting us make the choices on what we wanted. We went with a vinyl wrap, tinted the windshield and front windows, then topped it off with a 3 year ceramic coating. These folks are expert wrap installers and clearly take pride in their work. They turned our truck back over to us looking like brand new. Cleaner than when we picked it up from Tesla a week ago, and they got it done quickly!! If you need detailing, a vehicle wrap, tint, ceramic coating or wheel restoration, this is the spot!!

I'll be back for the PPF and ceramic, but figured I'd drop a review now since they already earned it. If you've got screen protectors you don't trust yourself to install, these are the guys to do it.

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. The detailer recommends services that meet your needs with no surprises, a hallmark of professionalism at its apex. Due to the skillful knowledge and careful techniques, your vehicle is in great hands with Smith Bros., highly qualified, experienced detailers. 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.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

You can see he did a phenomenal job by the pictures alone. Totally worth it! We paid $125. My car smells great, it's clean and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. I'm hoping to have him come back and do a standard detailing sometime in the new year.
