Elite retailers was amazing! I have not had a car detailed (especially to such an extent) in more than a decade so I'm honestly not sure how their prices stack up. I liked how quickly they could fit me in and give my car the full interior and exterior detail right before a holiday. My car was an absolute disaster- bird poo, feral animal prints that the drive through wash wasn't cleaning, something sticky on the passenger door, and three years of white dog hair on a black floorboard. I wasn't expecting the level of literal detail they out into getting all the nooks and crannies inside and out. My car looks awesome and I'll be back frequently to keep it looking good. read more

Terrible experience, my husband was passing through St. louis called ahead of time to see if they could detail just the inside of our truck and they said they are walk in only, no appointments. My husband walks in an hour later and they said they could get him taken care of in an hour, after coming back an hour later he waited another hour in their waiting area just for people that came after to be taken care of first. This is a terrible way to operate a business and waste people's time. read more

We are here for treatment at Barnes and thought it would be nice to have my car cleaned and detailed while here. This is something I've wanted to do but never had time to arrange at home. Also, we in our 70's, which is a respectable age to admit a thorough cleaning takes more energy than we've available right now! The results were wonderful, impressive, professional and most definitely worth the time and money! Mary S read more

I've been looking for a place to detail my car for awhile, and after an unfortunate incident with my dog that left the crevice between my front seat and console (which I was unable to reach with my vacuum) very gross. I took my car to Elite, and Adrian was super friendly and took excellent care of my vehicle. It looks spotless both inside and outside. It only took around an hour, and prices are reasonable. Would definitely recommend Elite! And thanks Adrian! read more

I had time on my hands and needed my seats shampooed desperately, I called on a Monday and asked for just my seats to be shampooed and the gentleman gave me a solid breakdown of what I should expect. I pull up and it's a pretty small parking area so I had to hope my car was OK where it was in the lot. It was about an hour and really liked that I was able to sit inside and watch them do their thing. The 4-5 gentlemen working on my car was considerate and respectful of my belongings and paid attention to detail. Checkout was simple and straightforward, no surprise fees. $78 upfront for both front and backseats. They even cleaned the exterior and microfibered my windows and framing. I appreciated their work especially on such a hot day. The only thing is I wish the inside to wait had some air conditioning, but they did have a fan blowing on the seat I sat in. When I returned to my car they placed my belongings in a bag in my trunk to not damage them. Definitely recommend, they did a fabulous job. Definitely worth my money, haven't seen my car look this good since I bought it. read more

Extremely professional and merits customer endorsement! Pays close attention to detail - I have used for multiple cars and have never seen a neglected detail. Located next to a modest restaurant and coffee shop that make waiting both pleasant and convenient. read more

Large SUV detailed in short time for an overall no-hassle good price. This was a gift for my wife and she was beyond happy.

They did a decent job of washing the car. I would go here rather than take my car to a tunnel wash any day. The clothes they used to clean the insides of the windows, especially the windshield, left fibers and streaks on the glass. Now I have to go through the process of cleaning the inside of the windshield with a warm bucket of soapy water, a squeegee, and some waffle weave glass towels to get the fibers out and have streak free, clean, glass. Defeats the purpose of going to a car wash if I have to wash it again. They did not use the proper tool to clean the wheels. They used a microfiber tool that doesn't get into the nooks and crannies nor did they clean the inner barrels of the wheels. Otherwise, the car looks good and it saved me time by having them wash the rest of the car. They're good but there is definitely room for improvement. No issue with the cost of the wash. Try to get there early as they can get booked up pretty quickly. read more

Went in to get carpet cleaned specifically for rear passenger area only on one side, I had already dabbed the very freshly spilt milk out of the carpet very aggressively, confirmed x2 that they have wet vacuum to clean that 1.5 ft square area with shampoo/cleaner etc They were done in 5 minutes without exaggeration. The whole car had an intolerable smell of whatever they doused in there to mask any other odour. No carpet shampooing of any kind was done. Had to take it somewhere else to get cleaned again. read more

Third time trying this place out and was pretty impressed! I asked for the interior service which comes with a car wash. And after 10 years of grime and dirt they brought my truck back to life. There's a coffee shop next door or you can wait inside where there's limited seating but a tv to keep you occupied. Overall, I'd say it took roughly 3 hours to complete. Seat covers were soaked and recommended to be washed at home. Scent I chose was Monkey Farts. The only downside is that the car seats were still damp after they cleaned and vacuumed so be prepared for a day or two air dry. read more

I have been driving past this place for years and have always seen people sitting around out front, which gave me the feeling that much work was not occurring. Although, they had pretty good reviews on yelp, so I decided to finally give them a chance. I was very disappointed in the detail I got. I honestly felt that this place took the detail out of detailing. I thought it was strange when they called me after my rather dirty car had only been there for thirty minutes, despite me opting for a more expensive package. It was also strange that they had a Square machine but the guy insisted I bring back cash, which meant a walk to the atm in the rain. I don't know if most of the reviews are from people who know the people who work here, but I just can't see how others had such a great experience when I left with a car that had sand still around the emergency break and my carpet with a weird marking on it. read more

They did an okay job. My car was clean but a few obvious spots were missed. Still worth it for their reasonable pricing which no other hand wash place has around here. Very nice people working there too. read more

Conveniently located in the Central West End. My car's been filthy because I avoided a car wash in the winter- it was covered in snow remnants and the carpets needed a deep clean. I almost missed the entrance. When you drive in, pull into the exit on Boyle. Walking in, the gentleman at the counter was friendly. He showed me the menu and I ordered, left my keys with him along with my name and number. He gave me a 30 min timeframe to return (between 1:30 and 2pm). I arrived back at 1:45, and they were finishing up. I tried a coffee shop next door in the meantime. When I returned at 2pm, they asked me to inspect the vehicle to make sure I was satisfied. I then paid and was on my way. There were no hidden prices and they did a good job cleaning a dirty vehicle. I'll be back! read more

I had the ceramic coating applied a few weeks ago but wanted to wait until I had some experience with how it worked. I could not be more impressed. We took the car back for their complementary wash and then the following day it went back to the dealer in the rain. They brought it back the next day and it was in the garage overnight. We were amazed the next morning when we went out to see it. there were no water spots and the car looked like it had just been detailed. Amazing job and the people at Elite could not have been nicer. I recommend this place to anyone who really wants to protect their car. It was a bit expensive but again I am completely happy. read more

I had the BEST experience and results today. I had Patrick service and perform the detailing on my car. Although I take care of it mechanically, I never took my car detailed or professionally cleaned after moved here from CALI. I traveled all over and carried boxes with me all the time, so I never really cared about how the interior looked. Now that I'm getting a company car, I can actually enjoy my own car lookin flawless and FINESSED!!! The SERVICE here is outstanding. Patrick was very courteous, and cool as can be. Every penny is worth the price for the time, effort and detail Patrick and the crew put in to my car. Thanks EDSTL! read more

During the recent storms, my convertible was parked outside and the roof leaked, and water soaked the driver side carpet and the floor behind it. Elite got me in immediately, charged a reasonable price and completed the job in about an hour. Great service. Nice guy! read more

They charged top dollar to keep my car for 30 minutes and wash the outside. The inside was filthy, there was a gold fish wrapper in the floor of my car when I got in. Dirt still all over. I can't believe I paid these people. If your car is already clean come here and waste your money. They do a poor job, who is writing these good reviews?!! They are terrible! read more

Went to the place about 2 weeks ago with my Corolla 2018. I was a bit cautious since there were a couple of hit and miss in the reviews. So here's my take: - Go in on the weekday morning. They will have less traffic so they can focus on your car better. - It's a manual hand wash so it's not your typical machine car wash - Bring cash, because their machine never works - Always review your car before paying. Since they do it manually and it can't be helped that they do miss certain parts of your car. If you spot something missing, just ask them if they can scrub it off and they will gladly take care of it - Before giving them your keys, you can highlight to them the areas that is a concern to you. I told them I'm concern about the back row seat of my car, the door on the passenger side and they honestly tried their best with it - Never sink in more then $50 if this is your first time. Opt for the basic one first and see if it works for you read more

The worst, car windows filthy asked twice to wipe them, no freshener in car, horrible streaks everywhere from using dirty towels. They use to be a quality car wash years ago but that has significantly declined. Wouldn't recommend unless you catch them early in the morning, maybe you'll get clean towels and a proper wax and wash. read more

"We like to take our time..." he said. "And do it RIGHT," I said to complete his sentence. As Yelp would put it, "Woohoo! As good as it gets!". Great price and great service. Great people. Great business. The men working were here were true gentleman. Calvin, the oldest, errrrr wisest, of the group freshened up the inside of my car while I got a cup of coffee at northwest coffee company. See the coffee review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/northwest-coffee-roasting-company-saint-louis-2#hrid:euUtSg_4StpoXHdc0R2imQ When I came back, I did some small talk with another worker who was the coach of a local football team. Lucky kids will have a great coach in him. The other two gentlemen were busy working. It was no coincidence the picture of their storefront I took accidentally brought me into the photo as a reflection off of one of the cars they had just cleaned. As for me, I really like to clean and wax my car myself. Something about seeing the water bead off the car after a job well done appeals to my senses. As for vacuuming the inside and wiping down the console - I'll leave that to Elite Detailing. They are the perfect compliment to my car and me. As my circular reasoning of positive things about Elite detailing comes to a close, I will leave with this simple summary: I do not give out 5 stars easily, but this was an easy 5 star review to write. read more

This was our first experience with a car detailer.

This was well worth the investment and I will return to this business for all my future detailing needs. read more

My fiancé bought me a $300 gift card for detailing with an additional $45 added for tip. When we brought the vehicle in for detailing we were told the gift card was only good for 90 days, even though there is no expiration date on the gift card or receipt. The shop said they would clean the car but not detail it. When we got it back it had been wiped down inside, dirt remained in crevices and floor mats vacuumed but not cleaned. The exterior was washed but not waxed as promised. Would never recommend or return. read more

As another review had mentioned, it's hard to find a detail place in the St. Louis area. I just had my car detailed with Dimitri at Elite detailing and I am very pleased with the work. My car looks great and they got me in right away. Nice job! I'll be back for sure. read more

I might have expected too much but I was not pleased with this service . I paid for the combo inside outside of car and buff out headlights . Headlights look the same and the inside was not that clean . Car was not polished but the tires looked good . The gentlemen that worked there were friendly and they did a quick job maybe too quick . read more

These guys are great! Brought my car in the other day for a hand wash and detailing and they had it turned around in about an hour. The basic service right now is $15 to do a car, $20 for an SUV. Added bonus comes with a buy-nine-get-one-free customer loyalty card. I'm told they have reasonable prices for more thorough cleanings, too. I loved the results -- my car hasn't looked so shiny since the day I drove it into St. Louis. There are a few spots (wax?) on the windshield and I needed to clean the center console myself for a few minutes afterwards, but I don't get a hand wash that often and didn't know the specifics of what I paid for. At any rate, no big deal. Best yet, though, for a bit extra they took care of some huge (but shallow) scratches on the side of my car. I was already looking for new used cars, they were so bad -- not anymore! Even the guys were impressed they pulled it off, saying, "That's why we're ELITE!" Looking forward to coming back, especially since it costs practically as much to get a machine wash at the gas station. Plus, the personal touch goes a long way; Mike even came over and got me from Northwest Coffee next door when the job was finished. (P.S.: These guys run a great shaved ice truck during regular business hours. Swing by on a hot day if you're on Forest Park Parkway.) read more

It's all in the details . . . just not at Elite Detailing. I just bought a ten year old Jeep and wanted to get it detailed, truly making it my own. I read reviews of numerous places before choosing Elite Detailing. Unfortunately I didn't have the experience most people did. The guys were nice, but will tell you just about anything you want to hear, not necessarily the truth. I was told that engine cleaning was included in the "full detail" but when I picked my Jeep up it wasn't done. They said the boss said it would cost another $30. Why not call me to ask if I still wanted it done since it was promised?? I looked over the Jeep and found numerous places that were half done. They forgot the right door jam and under the passenger seat. The windows were smeared. The spare tire on the back wasn't washed and did not shine like the others. Then the next day I noticed that there was still wax on the other four wheels. I admit that I'm particular and take great care of my cars, but these missing details are so basic. They really overshadowed the entire experience. Some things were done well, but not enough for what I paid. Maybe the guy that worked on my car had a bad day, but I wouldn't recommend Elite Detailing unless you want to double and triple check your car when you pick it up - and then wait for them to finish while you wait. Sadly disappointed. read more

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Elite Detailing is a bit out of the way, and if you were to judge based on the exterior, then you'd be less than impressed. However, they have fantastic pricing and are extremely efficient: my car was in and out within half an hour. I had an unpleasant odor due to spilled bubble tea in the passenger side, and so far, the odor is virtually gone. All for $15, too. Not bad. read more

This place is badass!!! I just drove all the way to Houston, TX and back. Been a while since I had the car washed. The windshield and front bumper were COVERED in bugs. They took every last one of them off, scrubbed the rims, washed the car, wiped down the interior, vacuumed, and put tire shine on for 20 bucks!! The car was spotless and smelled amazing. Needless to say I left them an amazing tip. Highly recommended!! read more

Been getting my family's cars detailed here for more than 15 years. Always do a good job. If they miss anything, they are always willing to take care of it immediately. They've been on time every time. I leave my cars there for a couple hours and when a car is finished, the detailers either drive the car to me (if they're not busy) or I walk over an pick it up. Always professional. read more
