If you're looking for a good mobile carwash within the Los Angeles area (in my case, Sun Valley), then you're already at the right Yelp page! First off, I got to work not planning to wash my filthy SUV. It's a 7-seater Volvo XC90. Ricardo and his team happened to be washing about 10 cars when I get into work so they're already busy. However, he was kind enough to add my SUV into their tight schedule considering its size, and I was thankful for that. So here are my two takes: Customer Service and Quality.. Customer Service: Ricardo, as mentioned, took my car last minute amid his busy schedule that day. Regardless, he was friendly and communicative. I asked him his process of a simple wash (interior/exterior) and explained it to me step-by-step. That gave me peace of mind as I take care of my cars as if they were my babies. Quality: My car was filthy to begin with so any type of carwash is better than the current state; however, I am not taking away anything from his team's service. I personally think that they did an amazing job both exterior and interior! Yes, the car is squeaky clean and I can finally see the metallic flakes again on that silver paint, but one step that he did not miss is making sure that there are no dry watermark residue all-around the paint and windows (I think that's one thing that "other" carwash services miss, but not this one!). Wheels and tires are also cleaned-- tires topped with tire shine. Lastly, the interior vacuumed. I bring two dogs with my all the time and one of them is an Australian Shepherd (these dogs shed like crazy and their hair gets stuck in between the weird floor fabric). He made sure that these are gone! Overall, he did a superb job cleaning my SUV. He did a professional, high-quality job and I would totally use his services again. I would even recommend his services to my friends and colleagues! P.S. He also does other car cleaning services such as ceramic coating/ wax/polishing/restoration/detail/etc. I might give that a try soon on my other cars! read more

I used Ricardo's service a month or two ago. I was able to make an appt short notice, he was prompt, super helpful, did a wonderful job on the detail, and the pricing for what you get is impeccable too! Will continue to use his company for my details. Thanks so much! read more

Ricardo is amazing! I've been using his car detailing services exclusively for years, and he consistently delivers top-notch results. He's communicative, efficient, always on time, and takes real pride in his work. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Avoid this business at all costs. They sold me a gift card and will not return phone calls, texts or emails.

Angel did a great job, thoroughly cleaned the interior and exterior, communicated well and went the extra mile- highly recommend!

Ricardo did a fantastic job on my Jeep. He was quick to respond and made the vehicle look like new. I'll certainly be a return customer.

You get what you pay for! While Ricardo's isn't cheap by any means ($350 for the full package), I now have a brand new 4Runner! Highlights: -Cleaned off the camper on top which collects a lot of street grime. -Interior is totally dog hair-free & sand-free. -My lawn workers came by right in the middle of the wash and Ricardo didn't even trip about rewashing the exterior (I didn't even have to ask). -Arrived at my house sharply at the scheduled time. Will be returning for Ricardo's services in the future! read more

Ricardo was super responsive from the get go - he came to my house to give me a quote and then came back 2 days later to do a full detail on my car and help me buff out some scratches. My car looks amazing inside and out! I have a dog who sheds like crazy and he even got out almost all of the dog hair. Fair priced and fast service - all done in less than two hours. Will definitely use again - thank you!! read more

My first experience with a mobile car wash. Booking was super easy, upfront pricing, and all open days/times were available to choose at my convenience. Ricardo arrived right on time, and gave me a call when he did. He said it would take around 45 mins, $60 for a regular wash - I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee- and told me I could wait inside my house and didn't need anything. In 45 mins he texted me confirming he was done and waited for me to inspect my car and make sure I was happy. My car looked sparkling clean. Very happy. read more

I've used Ricardo a few times now and couldn't be happier. He does a great job, is always on time, and leaves my car looking like brand new. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an easy and hassle free mobile car wash. read more

They arrived right on time and did a thorough job cleaning & detailing my new truck. I am very happy with the results and am looking forward to using them again. read more

I texted Ricardo the morning that I wanted to have my car detailed, so it was very short notice for Ricardo and his team. After a few texts back and forth I had an appointment set up for later that same morning! My car (9th Gen Honda Civic) had some serious bug, dirt, and debris all over the outside. Additionally, I had lovely spattering of now-hardened cement from a truck that passed me on the 10 all over my right rear quarter panel and trunk. The detailer, Edwin arrived and I showed him all around and advised as to where he could park the car to complete the detailing. He was very clear and detail oriented so I felt like the car was in good hands. I gave him the keys and let him go to work for the next 3+ hours. Once he was done I came out and WOW. Not only has my car never looked so clean and shiny, but he got ALL the cement off the car without leaving any scratches behind! Overall, amazing job. I'm a very happy customer. Thank you Ricardo and thank you Edwin. read more

Ricardo's Mobile Detail - No cement spots anymore! Exterior detail. - Car Wash Near Me - Venice, California

Overall a solid wash. $50 for a wash is pretty steep, but you're paying for the technique/method of wash. Pressure washer, foam cannon, two bucket method, microfiber drying - that's what most, if not all, these mobile vendors do/use throughout the wash process. These are important b/c your car is less likely to suffer paint damage (swirls, marks) during a wash. You're not going to get that at a typical drive up car wash, which is why they only charge $20-$25. Ricardo's a great resource and very friendly as well. I'm well acquainted with the whole car detailing business/process so it was easy to converse with him about different sub components of the whole topic. He's very willing to help and seems passionate about his business. If you're the type that cares about your car's paint, these washes are worth it in the long run. If you're indifferent, then just use the traditional drive up washes, but definitely avoid machine washes. read more

Hands down the absolute best detail work I've ever had done on a car. My car is 32 years old and Ricardo made it look like it just came off the dealer floor. read more

Ricardo is the real deal! I was incredibly frustrated with how Tesla service had destroyed the paint of my Model 3 and marred it with swirls. I went looking on Yelp and found Ricardo and I'm glad I did! Ricardo spent hours and hours working on the car correcting the paint and giving me a lot of new insight into how much is really involved in making the paint look perfect. Afterwards he applied a ceramic coating and now the car almost doesn't even get dirty. I drove from LA to San Diego and back and save for a few bug splatters you would never know. Before the coating every time I would go the car would get very dirty. The best part about Ricardo is he is an hardworking and above all honest guy. His prices are incredibly good compared to the competition and he didn't try to nickle and dime me for anything even though I drive a Tesla (unlike almost every other detailer I talked to). Overall I would highly recommend Ricardo but with a slight hesitation because I don't want him to become so busy that he won't have time for me! read more

6 year old car looks like new again. The team was professional, quick, and very communicative. They were early as well!

Ricardo and his team did a high quality job on my Lexus. The car looks and smells brand new. I also had an appointment and Ricardo was able to come a bit earlier and finish earlier, which I appreciated a lot. Will definitely look to hire Ricardo and his team again in the future. read more

I used Ricardo's service to detail my car and I was extremally happy with the work provided and the professional service.

Ricardo was great; he arrived on time, polite, prepared and did an excellent job on 3 of my cars. looking forward to having him do full details on them next time - thank you! read more

I was putting off detailing the inside because of all the hassle I thought it would be, but this was the best by far from the time I emailed them, to getting all my questions answered, to booking the appointment, to getting into a brand new car. The service was professional, completely mobile (they had their own water and power supply), arrived ahead of time, were respectful, honest, kind, personable, and all around the best experience. This is going to be my choice of detail shop for as long as I drive a car. Thank you read more

I highly recommend Ricardo! He is extremely polite, friendly, punctual and a great communicator. I'd give him 6 stars if I could! He and his helper did an excellent job on a DEEP clean of my car which has not had proper attention in ages- filthy from kids using my seats as napkins and pet hair explosion! Looking forward to using him again. :) read more

Detailing done right Stellar work by Ricardo's Mobile Detail. This is just another example of a small team that's passionate about their work and knows what they're doing. We had a very tricky case: satin black wrap after traveling 1000 miles to California. On top of that - several-month-old hard water stains all over the wrap and windows. When I first approached Angel, he was very straightforward with me and said that he couldn't give me a quote without looking at the vehicle first and doing some tests. After that, we scheduled the appointment. Following the initial wash and fixing the most of aesthetics issues, he explained that some spots were impossible to fix due to acid staying for too long, but additional coating would mask them and protect the whole wrap from further damage. 4 hours later we took the car back, and it was great. He also came up with an idea to prepare a small cleaning kit so we could remove hard-to-get hard water stains on the windshield manually once we're back home. Social aspect: from my first and second impressions, Angel is very knowledgeable, straight-to-the-point, but also a kind person that's pleasant to be around. Answered all our questions and gave helpful advice. We also scheduled a couple of maintenance washes before we leave California, but whenever we're here - definitely stopping by to get our car in the best shape. Thank you! read more

This is an update from my last review. Ricardo really is a professional, he has all the right tools. I recently had a scrape on the front of my car on the bumper and I have no idea how it happened but it looked like there was paint all over there perhaps scraped from another car. Ricardo said he would do his best. I was so amazed that he removed all of the paint and it looks beautiful now. I am so thankful and he also did a great carwash afterwards. read more

Ricardo's Mobile Detail - This is before Ricardo buffed it out. - Car Wash Near Me - Venice, California

This is a very professional mobile detailing service. My car, a black 2011 Lexus CT, required some serious polishing work after a poorly done body shop repair that left swirls in the paint on one side. Edvin from Ricardo's Mobile Detail came through and got to work. After putting some time in with an orbital buffer and some polish, he showed me the results BEFORE adding a glaze or sealant. It looked very good. This is important - once a glaze and sealant are put on, scratches are cosmetically hidden away and hard for a customer to see. I've heard of plenty of friends going to get a detail, come away happy, but be disappointed a month or two later after the wax and glaze wear off and the scratches are exposed. This is the first time I've worked with Ricardo's Detailing Service, and am happy so far. I intend to report back in 1-2 months as a follow-up and see how the quality of the detail job is holding up. read more

Ricardo showed up on time and went through the car (Yukon XL Denali) with me. He showed me damage and other conditions that I never even noticed. When I asked about some paint detailing, he even said he'd buff out a noticeable flaw for no extra charge with the tools he had on hand (though as a consumer, you shouldn't EXPECT the same... just my experience with him...). Him and his guy got to work, cleaned every part of my car, inside and out. When he was done, he showed me what couldn't be done that day paint detail wise, and even took down my VIN so he could get a paint match for a detailing session we booked for a couple weeks from now. He also took out my son's car seat for cleaning, and non judgmentally told me he installed it even tighter since he thought it was a bit loose. What a guy! Very humble and honest. Doesn't up-sell and clearly cares about cars. When you go to a carwash, you get a basic wash from a bunch of guys who don't give a crap and just need a paycheck. With Ricardo's, who's price is easily 3x the cost of a basic wash from your average carwash, you get 10x the value and a passionate job well done. Will never have anyone else touch my car. Thanks Angel! read more

Ricardo is fantastic! I bought a year old black Golf Sportwagen and the previous owner messed up the paint leaving swirls in it that I wasn't sure could be eliminated. Ricardo examined the entire car and explained what he could do and how he would go about it. I think he was able to restore the finish better than he expected. He did an amazing job and I could tell he was proud of how great the car looked. He's also a super nice and friendly guy; I would definitely use him again and would recommend him without reservation. I don't usually write reviews but Ricardo's work is top notch. read more
