Did ceramic coating I'm very happy about the result. Mario was very friendly and even dropped me the close coffee shop

Mario did an outside job on my 04 Cadillac CTS. I would highly recommend Tech Formulas to friends and family. With a great price for interior and clay wax. read more

Just purchased a new car and was told to come straight here from the dealership to get the Teflon coat and window tint. Mario and his entire crew at Tech Formulas are exceptional! Everything is reasonable priced and his team does an excellent job. Mario is such a great business owner and he makes sure to build lasting relationships with everyone he encounters. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Formula Finish Tech - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Diego, California

Had some water spot etching on my new Rivian. Mario and crew were anle to get me in the next day and not only were able to get most of the spots out, they put a ceramic coating on the new truck. Great service and very detail oriented. Took great care of my car. Call Mario if you want great service and a personal touch. read more

My family has been going to formula for over 10 years. Every time we buy a car we go to formula to tint the windows and get the car coated. The tint has never peeled and nothing gets stuck in the paint. It's crazy!!! read more

incredible work as always! I've visited 3 times and they always exceed expectations. The staff are friendly, competent and determined to ensure you're happy. Work is also affordable and fast. Keep it up. I wish you could implement a referral system, however! read more

Can't say enough about the workmanship that Mario and his team do when it comes to paint correction and paint protection for your car. For a new car, it's a no-brainer to send it over to Tech Formulas so they can protect it while the paint is perfect. But if your car needs a little TLC, Mario can bring it back to life then protect it for many more years of service. Fair prices and excellent quality make for a good combination. A+++ read more

Brought my 2019 Toyota 4Runner to Tech Formulas after receiving a horrible wash from a mobile detailer who decided to use a dirty rag to dry my car. Pissed and tired of seeing all the swirl marks that the detailer caused on my two week old truck, I decided to bring my car to Mario and I'm sure glad I did. As soon as I pulled up to his shop to pick up my car, I was quite impressed with the job he had done. The mirror like finish was better than new. I highly recommend this shop and will continue to bring all my vehicles here!!! read more

These guys moved their Yelp storefront here but it's still the same great service. I'll reiterate what I said before about Tech Formula. I had a Teflon clear coat applied on my 2003 GMC eleven years ago and it still looks great. It's always been parked outside and when it rains, the water still beads off of my truck like it just got waxed. I just bought a new car and I'm taking to the Tech Formula Salon for a Teflon coat later this month. I live six hours north of SD and I'm driving down just to get the job done. That's how much I believe in these guys. If you plan on owning your vehicle for several years or if you like to "baby" your ride, then do yourself a favor and get the Teflon sealant for your four-wheeled friend. In the long run, it is well worth it. I recommend these guys with my highest endorsement! read more

Mario and team take personal care of my autos/boats. I appreciate the hard work and concern for my satisfaction. Highly recommend!

Tech Formula associated with Mario has moved! THe new location is at 8680 Miralani Drive San Diego, CA 92121 suite 120. As you pull into the complex, make an immediate right and around the corner. BEWARE!!- there is ANOTHER detail shop in suite 125 - that is not tech formula. I've been going to Tech Formula when it was owned by Bob and Anita with Mario as the Manager back in the mid 1990's. Even after Bob left, the reigns now in Mario's hands, Mario has maintained the same caliber of workmanship, attention to detail, quality, and reasonable prices for automotive detail and car care services. My dad just had his recently purchased 2012 VW EOS hard top convertible teflon coated, clear bra installed, and window tinted. The car came out amazing! AGAIN..... Mario remains consistent with the outstanding work with which we continue to return for. 16 years and 8 cars later, we are still happy customers of of this business. I def. would recommend Tech Formula to anyone! Eric A. read more

WOW! Got my black optima Teflon coated and not only did Mario get rid of most of the swirl marks, but he got the black paint finish so wet and smooth it shines like a mirror now. Great service and he even picked me up from work. It's really hard to find companies now a days with quality work and customer service that Tech provides. Thanks Mario! I will be getting my car detailed here every time so you'll be hearing from me soon! read more

My friend recommended this place to me, so I took my evo 9 for the first time there yesterday and I was impressed. Mario did an amazing job and finished the job in an hour. The car was detailed inside and out. If you are looking for a new place to get your car detailed, give this man a chance. Call ahead to see when they are next available and set up an appointment. read more

Formula Finish Tech - Took this picture after I brought my car back home. - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been going here for years. Mario is the best. He does miracles on making my cars look new. Highly recommended.

Had tech formula and tinting on my red car 12 yrs back, and both still looks fantastic despite being parked outside on hot SD sun most of the time. So happy to find the shop again (after it moved), and it is the obvious choice for my new car! Excellent custom service, and great prices too! read more

We have taken 2 cars for window tint and the teflon car painting protection int he past; and Mario and his team are always very nice, professional and most importantly they do a SUPERB job, with a great customer service. I have just taken a new car, AGAIN for window tint, teflon and will have the clear bra installed in couple of days. I highly recommend their service, it is worth your money. read more

Mario is the man!! I've been bringing both my car & truck to him for a couple months now, he always does a great job, very detailed in his work and he's a real nice guy. Excellent work at a fair price. I'm very picky about my cars and won't let just any auto wash touch them. I work close by his shop and he'll even give me a ride to work and pick me up when my car is done, how great is that?! Bring your car to him and you'll never go to the car wash again! read more

Formula Finish Tech - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Diego, California

If you are in need for a paint correction or any detailing for your car, do yourself a favor and search no further. Tech Formulas is the place to go. They are very fair with their prices and they do an immaculate job in all they do. I am amazed with the results each time I had my car serviced here. I would definitely recommend Tech Formulas. read more

I have taken 2 out of the 3 cars I've own in the past 4yrs to Tech-Formula to tint the windows. The only reason why they didn't do the 3rd car is because I bought it & have been living out of state for the past 3yrs. I have yet to find a better quality of service for price. Will take any car I can and HIGHLY recommend (please note: *NOT a suggestion) their services! *Recommendations come from those who KNOW, suggestions come from those guessing! read more

So I went to this place based on Al V.'s recommendation here. I first went to their OLD location located in the address seen above. I arrived on time to their old address and everything was closed up. I waited another 5 minutes before I called them up and they told me that they moved from that location and they are having a hard time getting the yellow pages and internet updated. Their correct address is 7352 Trade St. San Diego, CA 92121 Anyway, this place is very clean and everyone is very nice and honest. Granted I spent more than I would have liked to, but that is not their fault. It turned out my car had a tint on it already (possibly UV only) and I needed that taken off before they could put the tint back on. It did extend the time longer, but in the end it is well worth the wait. Their waiting room is top notch and has a big screen tv and a nice leather couch. read more

I was referred to Mario and Tech Formulas by the people who work on my Mercedes Benzes. Mario and his crew did a superb job to restore the finish on my S500 which was damaged by tree sap and pollen. I am extremely pleased with the results and will be back for scheduled maintenance. Thank you Mario. I love the way my car looks now. read more

They did such a good job on my car and for a GREAT PRICE. The car, tires, everything inside and out was cared for and it smells great inside and looks brand new. All that was $40. Highly recommend, I will be coming back here again when my car needs another quality wash. read more

First and foremost. They have moved back to the 8448 Miracrest Place address. 858-455-tech. I had paint protectant applied to my 2011 Corolla on 7/30/11. The process takes while - 4hrs as they are very detailed. Mario gave me a ride home and picked me up after completion. I live about a 7-10 minute drive from the shop. This was a great service. I don't know how I would make use of 4hrs in a garage, if I had to stay. There is now a beautiful gloss on the car and the interior was cleaned and vacuumed. The car is so shiny, you can see your reflection. Washing dead bugs, sap and dirt off the car will now be a cake. I have used their service before on a 2001 Camry. The finish was still beautiful at the time when the car itself was totaled in 2009. The work is worth the money. They do everything there and do not source things out such as car washing. read more

I took my brand new Jeep to the Burning Man festival in Nevada. That event takes place on a dry lake bed (called the Playa) where dust there is as fine as talcum powder. Long story short, the playa dust gets every ware. My new truck came back looking like an ancient artifact. The exterior was caked with dirt and fine dust was embedded in every crack of the interior. I was sure it would never be the same - ever. But now its as good as new thanks to the guys at Tech Formula. They cleaned my truck so well that it actually looks better then when I took delivery from the dealer. They did a fantastic job! The price was fair and the crew was extremely friendly. Don't be put off by the lack of a fancy shop. These guys are great and I highly recommend them. Frank / La Jolla CA read more

I got a Teflon coating done on both the exterior and interior of my new Camry and it looks fantastic. Mario answered all my questions and concerns in a very sincere manner and he seemed to be extremely passionate about his work. He gave me lots of tips on how to take care of the care in great detail and I am definitely gonna put them to use. His Teflon work is reasonably priced and comes with a warranty. I would definitely recommend them if you are contemplating cosmetic work on your car. read more

Mario did a great job on a 2006 Toyota Sienna that I just purchased. The car had low miles, but it needed some attention on the cloth seats and carpet. After reviewing the work Mario and his team did on the interior, my expectations were exceeded. The cloth on the back of the seats even had patterned lines from the steam cleaner nozzle - very professional. I also paid Mario to 'clay' the outside of the van, which left the exterior paint very smooth. I went home and waxed the exterior myself with Z Best car wax (the purple stuff - you can get it at the San Diego Fair). (It's great car wax by the way.) So, in summary, Mario runs a top notch auto detail center. read more

This is always my first stop with a new Car!! I have survived sand storms that trashed my windshield but my car finish was still perfect. Scratches from an Accident were able to be rubbed out!! Mario and his staff do Fantastic work!!!!! I recommend 100,000%!! read more

We took our Nissan Pathfinder to Mario for a complete detail. The car is 8 years old and I don't think it has once received a wax or detail! The interior was an absolute mess--we have two young girls that over the years created quite a job on the interior. Mario assured me it would look as good as new--and let me just say he was right! The car looked AMAZING! Every inch of the car was detailed to look like new. The prices were reasonable too. I highly recommend taking your vehicle to Tech Formula, you'll be glad you did! read more

I recently had my new SUV tefloned, and I was very pleased with the result. The finish is beautiful, and it was done at a reasonable price. Mario was very friendly and honest to deal with and was nice enought to give me a ride home. I also brought my other car in to remove a rather deep dent in the rear fender, and it, too, was expertly repaired. I highly recommend Mario and his staff. They do an excellent job! read more

Long-time client of Mario at Tech Formula and had Tech Finish with Teflon Paint Sealant applied on our brand new 2018 Ford Mustang and BMW 328i. Absolutely GREAT results and both of my rides have that glass-like reflective finish! Highly Recommended! Thank you so much Mario! read more

I bought my 17 yr. old son a 1991 black Cadillac Seville for his first car. I first had it detailed at the local car wash. BIG mistake. These clowns had swirl marks and what looked like spider webs in the sunlight all over the car. I took it to Mario to see if he could save her. I was absolutely blown away when we went to pick up what looked like a brand new car!!! It looked like a black mirror. He even managed to get out most of those surface scratches. I highly recommend Tech formulas and will never ever take one of my cars anywhere else. read more

I had my car coated here approx 3 years ago at the old location and my car still looks fabulous! They did an excellent job, were friendly, professional and although you do have to wait a couple of hours for your vehicle, they make the wait time bearable with ammenities. Great place! read more
