Highly recommended if you need auto detailing in Northern New Mexico. Quality of work was impeccable and done very timely. Web site clearly explained the detailing options and Thi Tran, the owner, was very accommodating to my travel schedule. Car interior had not been really cleaned in over 10 years and it now looks great. read more

Excellent Service. I have been coming to Thi for years. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have their old car shaped up to like new. read more

Other shops said that swirls and holograms on my black car could be minimized, but never removed completely. Haute Details excepted the challenge and the results are amazing, it looks like a black mirror!!! I'm thrilled to have finally found someone who really knows what he's doing! read more

Haute Details - It looks like a black mirror! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

It's 2019, I bought a 2018 Toyota Avalon from Hertz Rental Car Sales. The Avalon had 33,000 miles on it, the car is in very good condition. The issue was the exterior finish, you could see where people had dragged bags in and out. Tossed bags on top of the car. Lots of rub marks, swirl marks and a few scratches. I found Thi on yelp and chose him off the reviews and after meeting him, the professional shop he has. He has top of the line equipment and uses high quality products. I spent my allowance on an exterior detailing. What Haute Detailing was able to accomplish with the paint was nothing short of Amazing! I'm bringing the wife's car next and plan on returning for routine maintenance detailing. read more

Thi's attention to detail is unmatched in New Mexico. I have taken my vehicles to him for the past 4 years for an annual detail. We have to park outside, under trees, which leads to sap on the paint. He leaves the vehicle spotless, paint smooth, better than on delivery from the dealership. His service is well worth the price paid. He's professional, and I have no worries leaving my vehicle with him. The car is always ready, on time. Thanks Thi, I apologize in advance for next years tree sap. Haute details is the best. read more

WOW! My car paint was looking really dull and I thought I was going to have it re-painted but then I called Thi. This guy knows his stuff! He told me that I just need a good polish and wax and my car would look good as new! Well he was right! I couldn't believe how great my car looks! My car really does look brand new and not 11 years old! I have used Thi for two of my vehicles and every time I'm amazed by his attention to detail and great customer service! Thank you again Thi for the great work! Below you will are the before and after polish and waxed part! read more

Thi at Haute Details did a number on my beat-up Mercedes C300. When I first brought it to him, I had tried to polish, detail, and wax the car myself. It was previously owned, and the ex-owner never waxed it. In fact, it was a relative of mine, and he admitted to not waxing it. The inside of the car was a whole thing in itself. It was dirty, his elbows must have been dirty too because the arm rest was caked on with dirt. There was coffee stains where the defrosters were (WTF?) and horrible stain marks on the roof of the vehicle. My god, either he was a construction worker or had no idea what luxury vehicle he was driving. Thi took care of the entire thing... for around $250. Holy moly. The difference $250 made on the Mercedes was astonishing. The carpets, stains, and dirt marks were all removed from the interior. The outside of the vehicle felt smooth and polished, looking like a new car again. I appreciated his service and willingness to provide excellent care so much, I will only ever go back to Haute Details for all my vehicles! read more

Why I needed my car detailed: My car was broken into. The thief broke the driver's side front window, which I had replaced a couple days later. The auto glass company that replaced the window removed most of the large easily visible glass; however, there was still a significant amount of glass chunks, smaller shards, and slivers in the seats, and on the floor, as you can imagine. My initial call to Haute: After looking on Yelp, I called the company on Saturday afternoon and spoke directly with Thi. He told me what he could do, which I eventually settled on $50 for an interior vacuum and cleaning, not a with a power cleaner he mentioned, which would be more, which is understandable. Thi told me that he would be able to clean my car at my place, mobile cleaning, on Sunday...we agreed on 9am. Why I decided on Haute: Bottom line....I spoke directly with the owner of the business, Thi. He would be cleaning my car, it's his company, and who else cares more about the quality of their work than the owner? That's why I gave Thi the shot. My main concern: Mobile detailing? I'm not bringing my car to a shop, but he's coming to me. How good can it be? Quality: He arrived on time, and he was professional. He had a business van which had everything he needed. He spent nearly an hour and a half working on my car. When he was done, it was IMMACULATE. Every shard, sliver, tiny reflective piece in all mats, the seats, under the seats, in all the crevices, everything was gone. The dash, and everything else was cleaned, and not left with a nasty slick greasy feel. He got everything. I was completely impressed and would recommend him to anyone. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by Haute Details, I had to write a review. I received a phone call promptly after I'd put in an inquiry on the website. Thi (pronounced like Tye) arrived at my house 10 minutes early to assess my car. He works on the weekends AND came to my house. My car was driven by my mother for the last 3 years and she always brought her dog everywhere in it. The leather needed conditioning, the interior needed a deep clean, and the dog fur needed to be gotten rid of. Haute Details did an impeccable job. It was pricey, but that's because I chose the most expensive option and then a little extra was charged because of the (embarassing) amount of dog fur. That didn't come as a surprise to me, as any other detail place would've charged more also. My car looks as good as new and I was happy that they use the old fashioned way of cleaning the carpets inside--hot water--so I don't have to worry about inhaling chemicals or getting a headache from any strong smells. I highly recommend Haute Details. read more

I didn't know it, but my baby was sick. OK, not real baby, but my car is basically one of my children. Anyway, she wasn't doing well and I didn't know it. All the day-to-day dirt and grime was clinging to her like a virus attached to a healthy blood cell. Fortunately, I found Dr. Thi (pronounced Tee, like the letter). I mean, I don't know if he's a real doctor, but I am just assuming. Either that or he's some type of healer. Either way, Ruby, my Explorer, is as beautiful in and out as the day I purchased her. In all honestly, I've never been to a professional detailer before. Thi is a very nice and professional person and you can tell just has a passion for getting the vehicle to shine. He was even able to get the scratch that ran the length of my driver's side of the car buffed out. The whole car looks like it has a clear glass finish on it. I've very satisfied with the work. I'm also happy that Thi's website's prices pretty much match what he charged. read more

I couldn't be more pleased. My car went in looking a little bit bedraggled and came out looking magnificent. Thi deserves his reputation as a miracle worker. He was easy to get in touch with, happy to discuss options and recommendations, and wow, the results are fantastic. He cleaned places I didn't even realize were dirty. I'm not sure my car has looked that good since the moment I bought it. I will definitely be going back. read more

Great detail for a reasonable price on my RAV 4. Great service. Arrived a few minutes early and Thi was ready to go. My car looked great when Thi was done and he delivered it back to my home. Would definitely use again. Thanks for making my car look new again. read more

Best detail you can get. Thi pours his heart and soul into detailing your baby...and it shows. He goes out of his way to make it as convenient as possible and does a stunning job. If you want your car to have that "brand new" look and feel, take it to Haute Detail!!!! read more

Great experience! First contact to ask pricing and appointment availability I was told the wait was about 7 to 10 days out. Monday evening I was able to book for Friday at 8am with the platinum package. He offered a ride home after dropping off and again to pick up the car although I did not take the offer. The car I dropped off had not been properly cleaned in months. There was dog hair and sand throughout. Thi called me 2 hours before the car was done to allow me time to arrange how I would pick up the car. It looked as clean or cleaner than when it was bought from the dealer lot (used). Would highly recommend and will go back. Very considerate, up front, reliable, professional, and accurate with time and price. You get what you expect. Thanks Thi! read more

Just had my 2008 Ford Escape Limited done by Thi. Bought my car as a trade as is. It was very, very dirty outside and the inside with leather seats, looked like it never been cleaned. Then I turned it over to Thi. OMG, it looks brand new when he was done. Thi is beyond a God with his detailing experience. As other reviews stated he is pricey than most detail shops but it is way worth it. The outside looks like it was painted, the inside looks brand new, I AM NOT JOKING!!! One thing about Thi, he only does one car at a time, he spends 8 hours per car. Again, beyond amazing work. Thank you so much Thi, you definitely have a gift. Beyond 5 stars, A+++++ to infinity and beyond. read more

Thi of Haute Details did an amazing exterior detail of my car, which was just driven to Albuquerque from Boston where it had spent the last five years parked on the street. It needed some serious cleaning, clay barring, and wax work. Now, the paint looks incredible with a new car shine and the wheels are completely rust free. He was very prompt to return my call with an estimate and very accommodating with my schedule. I was able to bring the car in the night before and picked it up after work the next day. I couldn't be more pleased with Thi's professionalism, his customer service, and with his skill at detailing. I highly recommend him! read more

We've used Haute Detail twice now and we couldn't be more please! Thi takes a great deal of pride in his work and the results really show it. We've all gone to octopus and gotten a $50 detail, you leave your car there for an hour and when you get it back its COVERED in a nice thick later of shiny grease. That will not happen with Thi, our cars always look like they just rolled off of the showroom floor when he's done. Ford F250 to a Tesla Model S, he can do it all! And how can you beat a car wash that comes to you? read more

Thi is practically a miracle worker! I wish I had before pictures (well, sort-of... it was a mess) - he made my 10 year old mini-van look great. I don't really want to let my 5 year old twins ride in it anymore. :) Thanks Thi, we will be back! read more

I am new to the area and didn't know about the hard water and the damage that can be done to a vehicle's paint. A sprinkler at my apartment complex literally trashed the front of my fj, brought it to Thi and I can not even put into words how amazing my truck looks now!! It looks brand new and it's a 2007. I have never rated any business on yelp with 5 stars before but Haute Details deserves 50 stars. Thank you so much Thi, see you soon for the interior cleaning. read more

Excellent! Service was superb. My car is sparkling clean now. As good as if it was a new car again. Will use them again. read more

I took my 8 year old VW here and wasn't expecting much since the car has spent its whole life outside. After coming to pick the car up, the difference is night and day. I got the $250 detail, which doesn't include any extensive interior cleaning but it was clear that every inch of the car had been expertly detailed. read more

Very impressive and well organized shop which is the first sign of a top notch experience. Thi knows his stuff! My wife and I have had 3 cars detailed by Haute Details and each time we have been wowed. From doing a miraculous job on my wife's minivan which was used to carry our young twins around, basically making it look new again, to paint correcting and ceramic coating my new Audi S4. We also had my wife's new Acura MDX detailed which came out awesome. Every time Haute Details impresses with a professional perfectionist experience. It is a little on the pricey side, but you absolutely get what you pay for. read more

My first impression after meeting the owner Thi was that they'd do a good job but the detailing on my Forester was phenomenal. I have some deep scratches on a quarter panel and door that Thi thought might need body shop work. The scratches are all but invisible now. It's obvious Thi loves cars because the job on my car looks as if it were detailed with love. read more

Thi Tran at Haute Details saved my car! My showroom quality Porsche 911 was at a local repair shop for some extensive work. Unbeknownst to me, they left it outside on their back lot for FIVE MONTHS through the winter. While the mechanical/electrical work was well done, that shop denied any culpability for the scratches, TREE SAP, and other contaminants that were all over my car. I took it straight to Thi at Haute Details. In a day and a half, he restored my car to what it was before it was neglected by the other shop. (By the way, that shop asked for estimates to get my car cleaned up, but then reneged and wouldn't pick up the tab.) I was scared that my car had permanent damage to the finish, but Thi got it looking super great. This guy knows his stuff, is very patient, and works on one car at a time. He is extremely proud of the work he does, and it truly shows in what he turns out. Money well spent, and a super nice guy, too! read more

Many many many thanks to Thi and his passion for excellence. Not only did he return my never-previously-detailed 2011 MDX to showroom appearance, he was able to buff out an unsightly scrape in my wife's brand new car. Seriously, so much time is spent on every nook and cranny of your car you'll wonder how one man can do so much work in a day. If you're like us and have young children and lightly colored leather interior, the back of your seats tend to look like black tar has been smeared al over. Thi made the seats look brand new! And the full body wax on the exterior left the car sparkling. I highly recommend this service and plan to use them in the future. read more

Thi does an outstanding job of detailing. I have been using him for years and everytime the vehicle come back immaculate. We have a 10 year old car and a 4 year old SUV with plenty of dog hair and both look brand new in/out and under the hood. Thi is easy to reach and has always kept to the schedule and time needed. I hIghly recommend Thi. Rick G. read more

I feel like I'm driving a brand new car! Thi did a fantastic job detailing my 2007 car. When I brought it to him it was looking pretty bad. In six hours he transformed it into a thing of beauty. He got all stains out of the carpet and upholstery and every inch of the car is perfect. The wax job gave a satin finish to the car. I will definitely recommend Thi to friends and use him again in the future. read more

I was beyond impressed with this detail service. At first the price tag is a bit shocking, but you absolutely get what you pay for (he spent ALL day working on my vehicle). His work was impressively meticulous, even by my standards (and those are high standards). The car went into his garage after a cross country move with a dog (imagine all the fur and debris and general filth) and came out as though I had just purchased it off the show room floor. He even cleaned the weathertech floor mats better than I have been able to do in the past. The wax and protectant spray is so beautiful and shiny, and you can physically feel the difference on the paint. I HIGHLY recommend this business. His service is unparalleled from anything I've found in 10 years. read more

Great detail on my 2013 Audi S4! I went with the platinum package because we just purchased the car used and we wanted a clean start. This included a steam clean of all the upholstery inside the cabin and trunk and now the car actually smells brand new! He even got the alcantara fabric (fancy, synthetic micro fiber) on the seats looking brand new, which is very difficult to do. The paint finish is fantastic, he removed impurities with a synthetic clay bar (very time consuming and laborious) and then polished the finish with his array of polishers (he showed me all his equipment). It took about 8 hours for the full platinum detail and its easy to see, feel, and smell why! I highly recommend! read more

So Ti, from my review of about a year ago, got 5 stars and does this time as well. Our car looks new, well, except for that little ding in the left rear bumper that even Ti can't get out. It's an ouch for sure. Everything about the process and the outcome has been superb on both occasions. Plus, Ti is in every sense a gentleman and a pleasure to know. I am not related to him, for the record. Great Job Ti, thanks as always. Jim read more

We took two cars to Thi -- a 10 yo and a 13 yo -- and even with all his good reviews, we were not expecting the amazing results that we got. Both cars are immaculate inside. They don't look detailed; they look new and feel new. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Cannot recommend Haute Details highly enough. read more

I wanted to take the best care possible of my brand-new liquid metallic silver Mazda 3, so I washed it myself when it was only a couple of weeks old. In doing so, I put a gigantic scratch (over a foot long) into the roof panel. In a panic, I called Thi and he said he would take a look at it. He reassured me that I didn't need a body shop and that he could polish it out. He did an excellent job of removing the scratch and clayed and waxed the car so it looked better than new. I know he regularly works on cars that cost five or ten times as much as mine did but he treated my car with the same care and attention to detail as he would a higher-end vehicle. Since it's been waxed, the car has been very easy to keep clean. After my initial visit to him, Thi has been very willing to respond to my email queries and provide tips on maintaining my car. Excellent value for money...highly recommended! read more
