I have been coming to Cody's Shine Auto Detailing for some years now. He is the only person I'd trust to work on my cars. No detail is left undone by Cody and his crew. He also provides ancillary services such as wheel repair, ding repair, you name it. Don't go anywhere else if you want your car washed and/or detailed. Cody has a loyal following: Count me in! Pricing? The quality is so good that you won't even care. read more

Cody was nice and the amazing work he did on my car was great I was so impressed with the shine afterwards This was my first visit and I plan on telling all my friends. read more

I rolled into Shine Detailing at Mohawk Car Wash with a sand-dusted, trail-worn Jeep and left with what felt like a brand new vehicle--sparkling, radiant, and ready for summer. Cody and the entire crew took such good care of my Jeep, and you can feel the pride they take in their work. They didn't just clean the car--they elevated it. Every crevice, every corner, every detail was seen and loved on. The interior feels fresh and peaceful, the exterior practically glows, and the whole experience was relaxed, friendly, and surprisingly fast for such thorough service. These guys are pros--but even more than that, they're heart-centered, high-integrity humans doing beautiful work. Highly recommend supporting this local gem if you want your ride to reflect your own inner shine. Thank you, Cody + team. You brought the soul back into the shine. read more

I am speechless. I took my 2018 Jeep Wrangler in today to have it detailed and got back a brand new car. Cody and his team absolutely crushed it. He even fixed a scratch I've had for 2+ years. Can't recommend enough. read more

We are regular clients and Shine worked on both our cars this week. Cody is a great person to work with and Brittany took care of the interiors of both vehicles and they look like they did when the cars were brand new. It's nice to work with local people, who are nice people and do an amazing job. Keep up the great work!!! read more

Top notch meticulous workmanship. Owner is a perfectionist. Car looks fabulous. He won't be fast (or cheap), but he'll do a heck of a good job read more

I took a car to Shine Detail a few years ago and they performed an exterior paint correction and sealant application and I wrote a nice review (I will note I had already clayed and buffed the car with an aggressive cleaner and polish, so it looked pretty good to begin with). I recently acquired another used car and Cody quoted me $450-500 for a similar treatment. He said he could also have a body shop price out the cost to repaint a couple of trim strips on the roof, while the car was being detailed, and that he would call me with the price before starting. I happened to drop in while the correction/sealant work was underway only to find out the body shop person had already removed the trim strips from the roof of the car without any authorization from me nor a call from Cody as promised to give me a price. I was upset and asked that they remount the trim strips because the price to repaint them was $450-$500, way more than I wanted to spend for a cosmetic item. When the exterior detailing job was done, Cody said I owed $550. I reminded him of his original quote of $450-500. He said he quotes a lot of cars and didn't remember (maybe better to write the bid down on a card and give it to the customer at the time of the bid). He agreed to $500. Then a few days after picking up the car I noticed the roof covered with a haze of swirl marks all over the clearcoat. I asked Cody about this and he said he paint corrected the hood and trunk, but not the roof because it was "not that visible" and he was trying to keep the cost down. My response was it was very visible, that he bid the job for the entire car without any exceptions for the roof panel, so I assumed this included the needed paint correction. I asked that he correct this condition as part of the original job but he refused. He said he could correct it, but wanted another $100. He said he wanted a happy customer but apparently was not willing to spend an extra hour to complete the job to make me happy without asking for more money. It's not a good idea in my mind to make customers think you are doing an entire car, then skip a major panel without telling them. So between asking for more money than he had originally quoted, removing the trim strips without prior approval and then skipping the paint correction on a major panel, I will not be using his services anymore. read more

Cody took care of some light scratches on my car and made it look brand new again!! He took the time to explain how he planned on removing the scratches and the products he would detail my car with. You can tell Cody is a master of his trade. Top of the line service and very reasonably priced, I will be returning to have him detail my car again in the future! read more

Well, somehow I missed the memo that cars need waxing to protect their finish ‍ my poor 2013 Tesla hadn't been waxed in about 4 years and so when bird droppings fell on the hood, they reacted with the finish and turned a bright orange! Not being careful and researching how to remove it safely, I used a green and yellow sponge, abrasive side down, and scrubbed it off once I got out into the sunlight, I could see all the scratches I had put into the finish. Still I didn't know wax was needed so then another bird came along with the same reaction. Finally a male friend noticed this disaster happening and began my education. He used a wax buffer to make it look a lot better and that held me over until I could find the pro's at Shine Detail. I first brought my daughters 2014 Honda Civic and they worked on it all day to get it ready for her drive back to college. It looked amazing and thoroughly moisturized all rubber/plastics and waxed paint so that it was now protected for parking outside for the next year. Then I brought my Tesla and they took a full 3 days to make it look like new!! I got a ceramic coating put on so my tendency to forget about maintenance won't be an issue (for my car at least. :)) Cody and Devin and the whole team are artists, perfectionists, love what they do and the ultimate in over delivering on their promises. And prices were beyond reasonable. I definitely recommend and will be sending everyone I know their way. Thank you Shine Detail!! read more

I was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail provided by Cody and his team at Shine Auto Detailing. My 2001 Lexus was parked in a field for 3 years and I wanted to sell it. I took it to Shine and after their meticulous workmanship, the car looks better than ever, including under the hood! They will be my go-to auto detailer and would recommend them to family and friends. read more

10/10 would recommend. I came to Cody and his team for an interior detailing after purchasing a second-hand car. When I came to pick it up there were still some things that didn't meet my expectations. Cody was amazing and took it under his wing to keep it another day to be sure the odor was removed and details covered. I really appreciate him going above and beyond in his service to meet customer needs. Again, would definitely recommend. read more

Cody has exceptional customer service! My car had tiny scratches all over it and he was able to completely remove them. He has great attention to detail and went beyond expectations. Cody was easy and professional to work with and we will definitely use his services again. read more

Cody, the owner gave me a recommendation for Encinitas Auto Body, for a car repaint. This is the place to take your car for a excellent work inside and out. read more

Cody at Shine Auto Detailing is the best. He made a scratch on my car totally disappear and the car looks like new. He is super nice and accommodating and went out of his way to help me when I was having a bad day. He is prompt, reasonable, and delivers what he promises. I highly recommend him. read more

I just picked up my 2017 Ford Explorer and it literally looks better than when I bought it! The guys were so personable and genuinely so proud of their work and took the time to show me what they did. I was amazed. Never thought a full detail could look so good! My husband also gets his 73 Ford Bronco detailed there and honestly he doesn't let anyone else touch it ! haha read more

Great work done on our SUV. Car was about 1.5 years old and definitely in need of some love as there was sand and plenty of dog hair. Got a quote over the phone and easy to get scheduled. Upon pick up the car looked fresh off the showroom floor. The exterior looked great but it was the interior that really was impressive. Not sure how they got every grain of sand out. Will definitely be back for future details. read more

Super great job done by the Shine guys!! Cody and Eves were quick, efficient, courteous and more than professional. I'll be a regular with these guys! I want my whip to look new all the time. Oh and BYW, Eves was a manager at the old Lloyd's detail out of Carlsbad. Thanks guys!! read more

Devon and Cody took excellent care of me and my car. For a very reasonable sum, I have a shiny, clean car and they were able to accommodate me with very little advanced notice. Cody clued me into the fact that my car would benefit from an upgraded treatment to keep its gloss and sheen. I am exceedingly pleased with how this shop takes care of its customers and I will be back soon! read more

What an incredible business! Cody goes above and beyond any expectation to see to the complete satisfaction of the customer. My first experience there, and requesting an emergency and seemingly impossible total fix for a car parked on Boston's streets for 3 years of weather: autumn leaves, slush, salted roads, city grim, debris, mold, moisture from hot summer days, caking the rubber, rusting the finish, coating the finish, streaking the interior.... He worked tirelessly until dark, and the result was astonishing! Every inch of the car was completely spotless! I didn't know it was possible. Then, opening the hood, the engine and whole compartment again: spotless! the trunk: spotless! Every corner, every angle, every piece inside and out: spotless! What a wonderful surprise, and so much more than I ever could have expected. Communication throughout the day was seamless and the result fantastic! read more

Best auto detail EVER, by far. Cody and team were responsive, courteous and meticulous. My Range Rover Sport was trashed from 4x4ing, and the interior was completely dusted. They brought it back to NEW, plush and conditioned. The exterior was badly scratched from trail brush and they brought back the luster and completely removed every single mark on my paint. I was AMAZED and delighted by their very fair pricing. Big fan!!! read more

This is by far my favorite car wash and auto detailing in San Diego. Cody and his team go above and beyond with their work on not only my car but all of the cars that come through. They are always booked which is proof to how great of a team they are. Even though the days get booked pretty fast they will always make the time for you which is so amazing! Thank you Cody for your time and effort & thank you team for being such amazing people. This is the only place I will ever get my car wash/detailing done! -Taylor Metcalfe read more

I took my Jeep here to get the engine cleaned after an oil leak and Eves did a great job! They were super quick, the owner Cody even dressed up the wheels no extra charge. Very friendly and knowlegable guys, definitely coming back here to get my whole car detailed. read more

My car looks great! The guys are super nice and laid back but very professional. Prices are well worth it for the way my car looks. Thanks guys for doing such an amazing job! I highly recommend these guys to do your detail. Even higher end cars! Thanks again for getting my shine back on!!!! read more

I cannot say enough about Cody and his team. Our BMW 550, that I worked so hard to purchase, arrived on a car transport after a cross country trip caked in dirt and covered in grease and oil that dropped from a car above. To say the least, I was irate. I went Cody immediately, based on yelp reviews, and he addressed the grease issue immediately, in between appointments. The next day he detailed the exterior and interior and it looked better than new!!! I felt he cared more about my car than I did. I think he just loves making cars look beautiful. I'm a customer for life and you should be too. read more

Cody was great! Totally accommodating, quick, efficent, detailed. Great great service and attitude as well as attention to detail. Highly recommended. read more

Based on the reviews below, perhaps I caught this place on a bad day, but I was completely underwhelmed with the detail job I received here. My main concern was getting an interior detail--I have cloth seats and they needed to be shampooed, BAD. However, he insisted that I get an exterior detail as well. It was extra money, but I figured whatever, why not--still stressing that my main concern was with the interior. He had my car for over 3 hours and while the outside looked great, that wasn't even my main purpose for getting this service. When I looked inside, the carpets and seats had been shampooed and taken care of, but other interior elements were absolutely not up to par. There was dust in crevices that could have easily been removed with a q-tip or another detail-oriented item. There was gunk in my cup holder, which he claimed to have been unable to remove with anything he had available. I got home and took care of it with some Goo-Gone in under 3 minutes. I know my criteria for interior detail seems to be pretty anal, but to me, the main point of a detail--and paying someone that much money--is for them to pay attention to the details of the vehicle, rather than just doing a simple wash, which is what it felt like I received minus the fact that they shampooed. At the end of the day, I judge a detail job by this: if I see the work and feel as though I could have done a better job myself, I'm not impressed. The guy was incredibly nice and I still tipped him like $25 bucks (I believe in good tipping karma), but at the end of the day, the actual work just wasn't quite up to par for me. read more

These guys are the BEST! They detailed my car while on a work trip and did AN incredible job. If I lived in the area, they'd be my place of choice. I highly recommend them! read more

I've had my car for nine years and never bothered to take much care of it, other than routine maintenance and repairs. I had scheduled to come in on a Saturday for just a car wash and interior cleaning but I was so impressed with the result that I decided to take the plunge and have them go the extra mile to bring it back to life. My car looked awful and I wanted to fall in love with it again. Cody was able to fit me in their schedule for the following Monday while I was at work, which turned out to be incredibly convenient. Now, it feels and smells like a brand new car. Cody even drove the car back to my office to complete the transaction. The guys here know what they're doing and they're damn good at it. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

So I spilled kefir (milk version of kombucha) all over my new car...frantically calling around and chose this place based on reviews. I am SO HAPPY that I did. If I didn't get this taken care of immediately my car carpet would've reeked and would have been ruined. Cody seriously did an amazing job, he actually had to remove my passenger seat to clean it, very detailed and thorough! I will 100% be getting my car detailed there when needed. He had a really fair price and is definitely good at what he does. Thank you, guys!!! read more

My car was a dirty disaster before coming to Shine Auto Detailing. The constant rain we've been experiencing combined with 40 to 60 minute commutes to and from work did a number on my black MINI! However, after taking it to Cody and his team at Auto Shine my MINI now looks brand new, just like it did when I bought it from the dealer! Cody and his team are professional, quick and extremely well priced. I'll definitely be back so Cody they can take care of the upkeep on my car! Thanks again Shine Auto Detailing! So happy with my like-new MINI Coop. read more

Cody and team will take care of you and your vehicle! Awesome / convenient location and a self service wash right there too

These did an incredible job. My Z4 got keyed and I was quoted $1200 to repaint the hood. I took it to Cody and he got 95% of the marks out. You can't even tell. He's got a lot passion about what he does, which is why he does such a great job. Definitely a regular customer now. Can't recommend enough! read more

Excellent job washing and cleaning the car! Will definitely go back.

Cody and his crew are true professionals with excellent attention to detail. I messaged the business last Friday (10/13/17) about a quote and I was able to bring my Dodge Charger by that afternoon for Cody to take a look at to get a better idea for servicing. I was given an estimate and they were able to schedule an appointment the following day. Even though it was a Saturday, I dropped off my car promptly @ 8:30am and they were done with it by lunch. Not only that, but Cody offered to pick me up since I live nearby. This was very convenient. I was very impressed with the quality of the paint correction - nearly all of the blemishes and imperfections were eliminated and my car looked showroom ready. I will definitely be bringing my cars to his business in the future. Thanks again Cody read more

This place hooks up the best detailing in town! Great location, great price, and most of all EXCELLENT service! It's walking distance to the beach and other shops, so I just drop it off and enjoy the scenery! read more

Great service!! I can't say enough good things about what Cody has done for both of my vehicles. Based on a need to make my vehicles last in our coastal climate, I took Cody's advice on applying a "paint sealer" to my new vehicle. It not only looks amazing, but really makes the shine last between washings, truly providing protection to the paint! When it is time to wash it, the road filth sprays right off. It performs so well, I had Cody apply it to my 8 year old truck and it looks like new! I HIGHLY recommend the paint sealer treatment that Cody applies! Worth every penny many times over! Thank you Cody! read more

I have 3 kids and one dirty disgusting car. I tried many places but I hit the jackpot here!!!! They did an amazing job cleaning everything!!!! I will never let my kids eat in the car again. I highly recommend this place. Great customer service and sparkling job. read more

I have mixed feelings about my experience here. For starters Cody was so kind and worked with me on when I could drop off my car. He was very accommodating and I was super grateful for that. Another plus was that the exterior of my car looked awesome! We had gotten back from some muddy salty off-roading over the weekend and they did a great job getting off what I imagine was some pretty gnarly mud. I have no doubt that they spent a long time trying to get the undercarriage clean. Ultimately this was my biggest concern as salt of course is the enemy of metal so I was very happy with that side of things. My only complaint is that it seemed as though they were just not very thorough with the inside. Parts of the doors were clearly not even wiped down. The seats still had some mud and water spots on them. When I brought this to Cody's attention he did wipe down the doors where I showed him there was still mud and explained that sometimes those fabric seats hold stains and need more work. I took his word for it, but when I got home and attempted to clean these spots myself they came off with very minimal effort which lead me to question if they actually shampooed the seats all all or simply spot cleaned what they noticed and didn't notice everything. I realize I'm being picky here, but I would hope for the price being almost $100 over every other place I called that their standards and attention would be higher as well. Descent work, just not what I was expecting for the price and stellar reviews. read more
