Truck bed filthy, "oh we're not supposed to touch the truck bed" okay :/
James H.

So following up the next day over here on Thanksgiving, what are my only days off redoing my entire truck myself. After it was left completely filthy as you can see on the photos for $230.00

Andres came out this morning to do. Full detail/clay bar on a recently purchased car. Previous owner did next to no washing and I feared the clearcoat would not be recovereable. After 3 hours of polishing the car it emerged looking brand new! On time, professional, high quality. Will hire again moving forward.

I've had two jobs done by Dr Detail and they are capable of putting out extraordinary work. My first job was done by Andres and the car was put in such great condition that I was able to sell it for significantly more than I had originally purchased it, even a year after the detail since the work had held up. It's like I got paid to drive a beautifully detailed car. When I had some requests after the second job Curtis was accommodating and the team came back out and made the changes. I can tell they take pride in their work, probably because they know they do a good job, and that's exactly the kind of people you want working on your car. I will be bringing more cars in to them in the future.

Before and after. Like new!!!

My truck's tire tread partially peeled off the front tire causing the rubber to slap violently on front fender resulting in black rubber marks. I called Dr. Detail and spoke with a very nice young lady. She asked for pictures to see if the technician could fix the damage. She called back within the hour and scheduled an appointment for the same day. Andres arrived at my house earlier than expected. He was very polite, nice, thorough and went above and beyond to get my truck looking like new. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them for future detailing.

Before

Curtis arrived on time with another detailer, Andres. Curtis explained the process and areas of my truck that might be problematic. I knew going in that this was my truck's last stretch of hope before getting a paint job. Curtis spent a good amount of time trying to restore life into the poor thing. The results were better than expected. He and Andres worked neatly and diligently for the time quoted. When something came up he brought it to my attention and explained clearly. Curtis and Andres were professional and attentive. When they were finished with the job the area was clean and my truck looked amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Detail and will use them again.

A drink spill and General yuck before and a lovely clean area after

I highly recommend Dr. Detail!! I'm surprised Curtis didn't just turn around and leave when he saw the almost twelve years of gross that had occurred inside my car from being the kid-mobile and dog transport. It was embarrassing how bad it was. He was very professional as he explained that it would be hard to return it to looking new, but that he would do the best he could. He went above and beyond on my car!! He and his team returned it to a respectable-looking used car, as close to looking new as is possible. I'm impressed with their high level of customer service and incredibly grateful for all of their hard work.

Amazing job

Curtis did an amazing job detailing my car, especially cleaning up the back seats where my child has caked on food into every nook and cranny. I purchased the Diamond detail package and they did not disappoint, my car looked better than it did when I drove it off the dealership lot. I'm extremely happy and will use Dr Detail for all of my future car detailing needs.

Curtis did such a good job on detailing my BMW I let them do my wife's car in to have our company cars. He takes his time and does all the little details and if he misses something he doesn't mind if you pointed out to him and he'll take care of it right away. I highly recommend Curtis he's not very expensive for what he does and the work as you can see by the picture if exceptional.

See all

I'm genuinely disappointed to be writing this review because I previously trusted this company…read moreafter having a great experience with my first vehicle. When I purchased a new car, I immediately came back for a full front PPF and ceramic coating package. I was quoted a 2-day turnaround and promised regular updates, but communication quickly became inconsistent. After multiple delays, excuses, and missed deadlines, responsibility for my vehicle was passed between employees without clear communication. I was eventually offered a complimentary full-body PPF for the inconvenience, but despite agreeing on several deadlines, the work was never completed. One employee completely stopped responding to my calls and texts, and I later found out he was no longer with the company without my knowledge. At this point, my vehicle still does not have the promised PPF installed, the interior ceramic coating was never done, and the exterior ceramic coating wasn't even completed properly. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism throughout this process has completely destroyed my trust in the company. I'm honestly at a loss for words. UPDATE: Danny eventually got back in contact with me and finally completed the PPF work on my vehicle. Unfortunately, the quality of the install was terrible. I brought the car to multiple reputable PPF shops for inspection and received the same feedback from every single one. Several shops told me it was one of the worst PPF installations they had seen. They also pointed out that my clear coat is now lifting, and warned me that removing the PPF from my bumper will very likely peel the paint completely off, meaning I may now need to have my bumper repainted. After everything I went through with the delays, broken promises, lack of communication, and being completely ghosted, I'm now potentially dealing with paint damage caused by the improper installation itself. I have completely lost trust in this company and am extremely disappointed with how this entire situation was handled. I asked for a refund and he is purposely ignoring my messages, I don't think he realizes that I can see when he reads my messages. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THIS COMPANY PLEASE!!!

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.

They got every nook and cranny including the embedded dog fluff in the carpeted panels and in the corners of the windshield and rear windows. They buffed out small scratches all over my car and clayed the exterior as well. My mouth legitimately fell open when I saw my car...it looked brand new when they were done!

Second time using them for paint correction amazing work every time on time car looks like new…read morenoting ever happened

This review is way overdue! Got Detail made my car the cleanest it's ever been & I appreciate them…read moreso much! This was my first time ever getting a detail (lol my poor car...) and definitely won't be my last. My car had completed a cross country road trip the month before the team saw my car, and it was in rough shape. Gonna dig at my ex here, who the hell eats chips and licks their fingers, refuses a napkin and then puts their hands all over my steering wheel? Just one red flag of countless... Anyway, I feel so much better after Got Detail performed an exorcism on my car. I appreciate them so much. They were so kind, very thorough, and it was so convenient having them just pull up to my house. They took all day on my poor car because it was in really rough shape. They even got out all of the car and dog fur which is an impossible task. I should've taken before/after pictures, it was very drastic. They also wrapped inside of my engine to protect from rats!! Which I never knew about and was so sweet of them, I would've never known to ask and they just did it for me! They said you should do a detail every 6-12 months. It's not the cheapest so I'll probably do yearly. Totally worth the money though. This experience has made me a lot more vigilant of my car's condition, unfortunately I'm parked outside always and next to some gross pollen tree... so I'm gonna start going to the car wash more often. They gave me the tip to go to a touchless wash and ask for new rags. Really appreciate Got Detail and am very grateful for their tireless and spotless work!! Just as an anecdote, my battery died in the process of the detail (it was 5+ years old lol) so I went to AutoZone right after. The guys in AutoZone were agog at how nice my car looked, even the engine. They were asking me who did the detail and said it was flawless work. They noticed without me even mentioning, and these guys look at cars all day every day. So you know they know!
