Absolutely stunning work, very time efficient & super friendly! I have nothing but good things to say about the service I had done as I'm extremely happy with the results!! Despite having seat covers on, (that I took off for the detail) my car looked really worse for wear. I have a large dog, and so the pet hair and sand from the beach was getting out of control. After the detail was done, you would think I just drove it off the lot, brand new! The communication was top tier as well. I requested a quote on Yelp & was able to get my detailing scheduled immediately. Between the phone call, email, and Yelp chats, everything was clear, concise, and great customer service overall!! The technician was super sweet, and has great attention to detail. My car looks better than it did when I first bought it 5 years ago! I had exterior plus interior complete detail and headlight restoration all done in 3.5 hours for an awesome price. Would highly recommend this business & will absolutely rebook when it's time for another detail! read more

The level of detail was great.! And communication is excellent. Appreciate the hard work put in & that they are easy to work with . Prices are very competitive. Took about a hour but they did a great job. Thank you I highly recommend & will Continue to use them as my personal car detailing. read more

I had been struggling to find a mobile auto detailing company that would come to my home and do a true deep clean of my car, including shampooing the seats. After reaching out, they responded within minutes, arrived in less than an hour, and had my entire car looking amazing in about an hour. The two gentlemen who came were incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient. They worked quickly without cutting corners, and my car honestly looks and smells brand new. The convenience of having them come to my house made the whole experience even better. I genuinely couldn't recommend them more and will definitely be using them again! read more

1-Star Review - Disappointing Customer Service I had my car detailed from 1:30 to 3:30 PM, and the following day my carpets were still so wet that water came up when I pressed on them. I contacted the company because I was concerned about excess moisture trapped in the carpet padding and the potential for mildew or mold. Rather than addressing my concern, I was told to roll down my windows and allow the car to ventilate. When the conversation continued, the company responded that discounts are not based on feelings or emotions, emphasizing their affordable pricing and complimentary booking gift. My concern was never about feelings or receiving a discount based on emotions. It was about the condition of my vehicle after the service and getting a reasonable response to a legitimate concern. Unfortunately, I found the customer service disappointing and felt my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed professionally. An affordable price and a complimentary gift do not replace the importance of addressing a customer's concerns after a service. The no air back light came on as well because they soaked my car and may have disconnected the bags. read more

Great customer service and attention to detail. I called last minute and the team was able to be onsite within an hour due to a cancellation. I strongly recommend this business for any of your detailing needs. They took a large, difficult job and made it seem simple. I will us them every time I need detailing services. read more

The Melvin crew did a great job on both our cars. Their operation is self-contained and they bring water and power with them. They also removed our HOV stickers from our EV SUV at a small additional cost. read more

Had them do both of our cars and we were able to book on the same day. Not a cheap service but both of cars look brand new. Thank you!

I am very happy with the detailing of my little Prius! I had a leak inside my car from the AC drain. Some mice got to the hose, and but the time I realized the problem, my carpet was pretty wet and starting to get musty! My carpet is like brand new and I'm really glad! Thank you! read more

Requested a quote via Yelp, got a phone call from them within an hour providing all the information I needed. Was able to get a nice detailing scheduled within two days and the service was amazing. After about two years of not getting my car washed, it looked brand new. Highly recommend! read more

Last year I bought a new car and made the mistake of taking it to get washed in those automatic car washes. A year later, I noticed my paint was scratched/ has swirls everywhere. So I decided to look up different detailing places here on yelp. Couple hours later I receive a phone call from Melvin Auto Detailing. They spoke to me about my needs and suggested different packages. They were patient with all my questions. With that being said, the customer service is amazing! I always love to support my people/raza and Melvin Auto Detailing does an amazing job. I ended up doing the five year ceramic coating in January and my car looks brand new! Recently, I got a maintenance wash specially for a car with ceramic coating and my car looks amazing! His prices are just and worth it! Especially because they are very detail orientated with their work. Overall, I am very satisfied with their work and I will continue to get my car details needs with Melvin Auto Detailing. MUCHAS GRACIAS! read more

SO WORTH IT. Came right to my house first thing in the morning. My 2013 Toyota Avalon hybrid needed some love. I got the 4-6 year ceramic and it looks brand new. I plan to drive this car for another 10 years and now it looks fabulous again. Definitely recommend. read more

Melvin Auto Detailing - 2013 Avalon - Car Wash Near Me

They were very polite on the phone as well as in person and I was able to book the service that day! They came on time and ready to work. We got interior detailing done for both cars because our sons are messy. They cleaned up the water stain in the SUV as best they could and the leather interior of both cars looked rejuvenated. All the crumbs were vacuumed up. I couldn't have asked for better service and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend their service and would definitely book them again. Thank you for restoring our car's interior and for your great customer service! read more

I had a great experience. Rod was super responsive and answered all questions I had about pricing and detailing services. I had to change locations last minute and they were on top of it with that change. My detailer (Alberto) was so kind and did the job well. I had some issues with the way my drivers seat dried and Alberto was quick to come back and find a time to fix the stain for me. Overall a pleasant experience. I would recommend if you want an affordable detail. read more

First time using Melvin Auto Detailing. My SUV was definitely in need of some TLC. They had a 20 percent off for first time customers. The communication was responsive for the most part. The only reason why I gave 4 stars was due to the technicians being late for my appointment. I had to message them first to see if they were still washing my vehicle. Nonetheless, the company quickly responded afterwards and advised me of their ETA. I forgot the technician's name, but he and his crew did a fabulous job. They took the time to thoroughly clean my vehicle inside and out. I would definitely use their service again. read more

Today I used their headlight restoration service, and these guys were the very first to respond to me. They provided a detailed explanation of the work, offered a 2-year warranty, scheduled a time that worked perfectly for me, and had the most competitive price compared to everyone else I contacted. On top of that, they polished my Honda emblem for free. Huge thank you -- I've already recommended them to my friends. Thank you guys for the excellent service and great communication! read more

Incredibly professional. On time, great service. Would use again. Melvin was on a great example of what a mobile detailer should be

In December 2025 I had a fall that broke my legs and then had complications that kept me in hospitals and care homes until end of March 2026. Unfortunately I had groceries and damp dog urine soaked laundry in my 2020 Rav4 that sat for over a month before a friend was able to remove them but by then interior was moldy all over and the smell was horrific. The car then sat empty for another couple of months. After explaining all this to Melvin and sharing photos Melvin said he could help me and explained the process for remediation of mold and smells. Other mobile auto detailing bids didn't respond with in depth detail or didn't respond at all. Communication was timely and thorough as he explained what the cost would be. Today one of his team came to my house and did an EXCELLENT job!! It was worth every penny to bring my car back to usable condition. I'm very glad I chose Melvin Auto Detailing and plan to use thier regular services to maintain my car. read more

They didn't do auto detailing, like they said they will. I tried contacting the owner via yelp but there is no solution. I was trying to resolve this manner with the owner Rodd with options, but he didn't give me options. He just gave me what he wanted. Of course my vehicle wasn't in good conditions. That's why I wanted a detailed interior with the seats, especially the rear seat washed. When you get the price and you specify what that price includes, you expect that that service to be done. Even though one of the workers who came here, he told me I'm gonna do what they told me to do regardless of what Ron said. Yes, my vehicle wasn't clean. That's why I wanted a detail cleaning interior with the backseat. Give your customers options whenever your workers don't do the job right. And why will they wanna come back for free? If you do it right the first time you have to come back read more

I haven't even signed up to receive service from them but am absolutely impressed by their honesty and transparency.

I reached out to Melvin Auto Detailing after accidentally spilling over 3 gallons of water in my car, and they were eagerly willing to take me in same-day, which I really appreciated! They came right to me, no need to drive anywhere or leave my car with them, and did an amazingly thorough job cleaning and drying everything out as best they could. When they were done, the car smelled super fresh and clean and looked spotless inside. Unfortunately, it happened to be during that incredibly heavy day of rain in San Diego recently and despite their hard work in those crazy conditions, the car stayed pretty wet for days afterward. I struggled to fully air it out, and it still has a bit of a muggy smell if I keep the windows closed. To their credit, they followed up by text a couple of days later to check in and offered to come back and re-treat it -- super professional and kind of them. At $229 for just the interior cleaning felt pretty steep, but given the mobile convenience and the quality of their work, I can understand it. Overall, great service, great attitude, and I'll likely reach out again once the weather is more cooperative. read more

Melvin Auto Detailing is the best in San Diego. My family was headed down to San Diego to check out the sites and the food when someone from our group had an accident and we needed one of the chairs of our car cleaned right away. I reached out to multiple detailing companies but none of them could do it the same day. They were the ones who could clean the mess that day. From the time we contacted them to the time they finished detailing the chair, it had only taken 1 hour, which in my opinion was superb. The attendant who worked on the chair, was very professional, kind and thorough in cleaning. The price for the detail of the chair was reasonable considering the circumstances. If I'm in San Diego or near the area and ever need "Bio-detailing" services again, I will most definitely reach out to Rod at Melvin Auto Detailing. read more

I had a fantastic experience with this company. Two polite fellas showed up on time and spent almost 2 hours turning my cubes interior from garbage to show room ready. The attention to detail was above par and I could not be happier with the outcome . I will be using them in the future and I really recommend them for all of your car cleaning needs! read more

April 2026, was recommended Melvin Auto Detailing by a colleague. They were on time - and smooth process, good communication for scheduling (with my busy schedule). I scheduled a complete detailing, inside and outside. Great service, like new condition of both exterior and interior. My car was in storage for six month overseas assignment and really needed the TLC. read more

**Wonderful, friendly employees **Very responsive to customer questions and inquiries **Super thorough cleaning (they spent 90+ minutes per vehicle and the cars look AMAZING) **Able to come out for same day service CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH!!! read more

I needed detailing for the interior and exterior of my SUV, but since my vehicle exterior has ceramic coating and PPF, it required special handling. Melvin's did a decontamination wash followed by special rinses for the exterior, which left it looking brand new! Absolutely beautiful! The interior looks super clean also. It was easy to schedule an appointment for 11 am, but it was 11:50 before they showed. However, I was very happy with the work! read more

First and foremost, I want all readers to know, my only intention of creating a Yelp account was to get offers to have my car detailed. I do not like Yelp's business model of having people provide reviews, and then they make money off people working free for them. BUT, because I feel so strongly about this particular service, that I have decided to keep my Yelp account in order for everyone to know about this Auto Detailer. 1. They responded promptly and specifically responded to my exact requests. 2. Melvin arrived on time the day of the detail 3. I showed him which parts of my car needed the most work. I had not detailed my car for a few years and there were food stains, children's paint stains, and other stains and marks on my seats. I told him no other detail company has been able to take the stains out. He PROMISED me that he is able to remove all stains. 4. When he knocked on my door to let me know that the detail was complete, I was not expecting what I saw. I was ready to point out parts that were not done right, because I am super particular and OCD about my car. 5. Other than when I first purchased my car in 2017, brand new and a few months afterwards, my car has never been SO CLEAN...ever. 6. I also thought "maybe when the car is wet it will look like this, but when everything dries there will be spots and marks." Nope, two days later and a completely dry interior, and the car is immaculate. 7. I do not like leaving reviews overall, but I just feel as though he has earned the accolaides and deserves to be recognized, as well as to let others who want to have their car look as close to perfect, to be able to do business with him. Seriously, I actually decided to keep my Yelp account open and I will not delete it, really because of Melvin and his amazing detailing. 8. I believe that Yelp can only prosper with real reviews and hate when I read reviews that seem paid for or do not actually review the service/product. This man, deserves to be known as he has earned my business. I have already told several friends and family about him. Some people are cheap and do not spend money on things like keeping thier cars clean. If you respect yourself, and respect your automobile, and like to drive in a well maintained and clean car, and have the financial means to pay for detailing......this is the person you need to call. read more

I booked an express detail which was $149 for my Honda HRV. The process was quick and I received a call quickly confirming my requested appointment. I also appreciate how everything is laid out on their website. When I booked I tried asking about the price considering the HRV is essentially a sedan. I was told that I am charged the same as any SUV though the Honda HRV is barely even a crossover. However I went forward with it hoping that it would be worth it. In the end, while the detailer was friendly kind and prompt I don't think the service for the size of my car was a good value. There were still spots on my side view mirror and streaks on my windshield and bugs on my exterior. The cleaning itself was what I would expect to get at a local hand car wash at a basic+ level. For this level I would expect to pay between 60-80 dollars. Overall I was underwhelmed with the service and value. read more

Had a mysterious stain on my car exterior that couldn't be removed, they used the clay bar, sand paper and buffer. When nothing worked the issue wasn't explained and they left with no guidance on how to proceed. read more

The service from Melvin's team was amazing. They showed up exactly on time and exactly where I asked them to meet me. No excuses, no problems simply what I asked. The detail they did on my bronco was A1. Perfect! It looked like a brand new vehicle for an extremely reasonable price. I'm having to come back to do my other car tomorrow. Can't wait. I will definitely be using them for all of my car detailing needs in the future. I'll also be forwarding their information to all of my friends and family. You don't wanna miss out on this company if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. You will be extremely happy! read more

I especially appreciated the very quick response and the ability to schedule for the next day. The outcome was ultimately well done with the inside of the car truly looking like new upon completion. The one challenge was that the conclusion after sunset did not allow for a quick drying and required a 30 minute drive with windows down to avoid overnight moisture beginning to smell. A recommended upgrade was not needed which is a positive comment that the base service was strong enough to complete the work. read more
