    What a horrible waste of time and money. I paid $750 for a full interior detail and 3 windows tinted. Jay calls this place a detail studio but can't even manage to clean glass properly. When asked to have it corrected the owner says he can't clean it. I removed the film myself because I was embarrassed by their bush league work and the contaminate came right off with the film. How hard did you really try? Owner still doesn't bother to correct his mistake. If your idea of a detail is a little dish soap and a sponge this place is for you. If your looking for a place that takes such pride in their work that they'll just film over whatever is on your window, this place is also for you. If you want a quality job, run like hell.

    I already posted on his Google page but the service was so good that I'm gonna review again! Jay's Detail Studio is rated the best in San Antonio for a reason! Scheduling my Model 3 to get tinted was fast and I was expecting it to be a long wait because of COVID but he got us scheduled in less than a week! He was super informative and will provide you with picture comparisons so you can gauge what you like. I like that he wasn't trying to up sell you or coax you into paying for the most expensive thing. During the appointment he even sent progress pictures and you can tell that this is his passion and truly cares about his business and his customers. Thank you for being so helpful and doing an amazing job!

    Jay engaged in deceptive business practices, installing a different (cheaper) paint protection film than the one he had agreed to provide. In addition, his workmanship was inadequate, resulting in minor damage to my vehicle, and peeling of the film he installed. This required multiple repeat visits for film correction, with some continued peeling thereafter. More information: I paid Jay to install a SunTek Reaction Paint Protection Film to my new car. Initially, I was planning to have the film installed over only part of the vehicle. However, when he offered to make a deal with me and apply the film to the entire vehicle at a lower cost than his competitors--PLUS add ceramics on top of it--I was convinced to spend the extra money. I was disappointed to find Jay hadn't given me a deal at all. Rather, he simply installed a cheaper film (SunTek Ultra), directly breaching our agreement. I brought this concern to Jay, who refused to disclose how much money he saved from his deceptive business practice. He became defensive and angry. He failed to lower the price or otherwise rectify the situation in any way. Unfortunately, Jay's workmanship resulted in some minor damage to the vehicle and peeling of the film in multiple locations; pictures of some of these defects are attached. The peeling film required several repeat visits to rectify, and continued to peel despite these visits. To Jay's credit, he didn't completely leave me out to dry and has fixed a good amount of the peeling, at least as of the time this review was posted--though there is still unresolved peeling to date and the damages were never addressed. His customer service was also unsatisfactory, with delayed response times and ignored messages. In sum, I regret using Jay's services and wish I had gone with one of his competitors. It is to be seen how he will respond if new or worsening issues with the film arise.

    It started with a trip to Gruene with my 7 grandkids. Of course one of them had to get car sick in…read morethe back seat of my 2023 Tahoe! Ugggh. What a nightmare!! So I thought..... Not a problem at all thanks to Fresh Start Detailers! I used Yelp's "find a service " Ai program. 3 companies came up. Nathan, contacted me immediately! (On a Sunday evening mind you) He was very friendly and gave me options. I scheduled an appointment to bring my car in the next morning, to drop it off and get my ride cleaned and deodorized. Upon arrival, Nathan met us and was super friendly!! He explained the procedures, gave us options and even showed us how splatter travels with his black light! Wow!! We thought we had cleaned it all up, but boy were we wrong. After choosing the package we needed, Nathan kept us informed of his progress throughout the whole process. When we came and picked up our car, we were thoroughly impressed at the meticulous job he did! Every nook and cranny was cleaned, disinfected and deodorized! He removed the seats to clean the inside of the tracks in the floorboard! It even had that new car smell again! I would definitely HIGHLY recommend Nathan and Fresh Start Detailers for your auto detailing needs! It was well worth the money spent!

    Nathan and his team are top notch! One of the best car retailers in the business. Customer service…read morewas amazing, professional throughout the whole process.

    Scheduled an appointment for a Paint Protection Film for my new car. My car dealer had recommended…read moreit and with all the construction going on around town and tons of trucks, industrial vehicles and weather around SA, I wanted to protect the paint. When we heard about the service, my husband called several times and no one called back?? They just corresponded via text and email, no personal interaction until we got to the shop. We even brought it up to our car dealer and he said that if we didn't hear back after a certain amount of time that he would try to reach out to them. Finally, they corresponded with a price via email and time available via text. I finally brought it in as I was on vacation for a few weeks. When we got to the shop, no one greeted my husband according to him as I was still outside. No salutations. He proceeded to tell them his name and what car we were dropping off. The rep was with another employee on the computer in the front desk. When they finally got to us, they took our info and the rep explained the process, other services they provide if we wanted in the future, e.g., Ceramic Coating and Window Tints, how long the job would take, how to take care of it and how long it would have to fully cure and to not allow water to sit on the top for now as it is a porous product. They also offer an Uber if you needed a ride home. After the paperwork was completed, I asked if we could look at the shop in the back so there's a waiting area with windows to view the process and application. Pretty cool and I noticed lots of high-end vehicles being serviced. You could really see the attention to detail when positioning the film on even the front Grill area of an SUV. It was going to take about 1-1/2 days to complete. We heard back in the late afternoon the next day so we told them we'd pick it up the next morning. When I picked up my car, there was a female rep helping me out behind the counter and I think she was being cross-trained but was very thorough. She also gave me a free Detail Spray with Microfiber Cloth kit. After explaining the warranty & paying, the original rep walked out with us to see the car. We looked at the seams, detail, checked under the hood, looked if there were any bubbles or imperfections. He said if there were any imperfections or bubbles that we notice, that we could just call and notify them. We wouldn't have to make an appointment. He reiterated how to take care of the car with the film coating & explained that brushless car washes are recommended because the brushes on regular car washes can damage the coating as well as your paint. Plus the brushes pick up other dirt from other grimy vehicles like trucks and can transfer them to your car. Good to know. He mentioned the other services again and mentioned that the Window Tints & how it minimizes heat esp. in the hot Texas summers. We were impressed at the work and in the coming days/weeks/months will monitor how it wears and if we see any imperfections.

    Can't say enough about the great service from xpel! Huge shout out to Chris! Stealth on the paint…read moreand clear on all carbon/roof.
