Prestige Mobile Detailing did an A+ exterior and interior detailing job on my old car. If you're…read morelooking for a great, reliable, and reasonably-priced mobile detailer in the Triangle, I recommend these guys.
I found Prestige via Yelp. I did a search for mobile detailers in my area. I actually landed on New Life Auto Spa first. I used Yelp's "Request a Quote" button to get an estimate from New Life. Yelp ended up sending out requests on my behalf to five different mobile detailers in the area. Prestige was one of them.
It turned out New Life only does mobile detailing for Apex and Cary (I'm in Chapel Hill). Ladean at New Life quoted me an outside detail for $275 if I brought my car to his shop. For my small car, that's expensive. In 2020, I paid $85 for a wash and wax from Wash N Werk. In 2021, I paid $79 to Showroom Shine for a wash and wax. Before tip. So, New Life's $275 quote for an exterior detail alone seemed exorbitant to me. It must have included extras I didn't know about.
Josue, owner of Prestige, replied to me on Yelp with a quote of $75 flat. The best deal yet. However, I believe you get what you pay for. Prestige exceeded my expectations and provided great value. Josue was a good communicator and answered all the questions I had via Yelp messaging and text. Josue was flexible and available when it came to scheduling. He showed up promptly at our appointment time of 10am on a Thursday morning.
After meeting Josue and his assistant Justin in person, I asked Josue if he could do an interior detail too. Specifically, I asked for my leather to be cleaned and conditioned. He said he could do it for an additional $65 and that he usually charges $80 for it. So, $140 total for the exterior and interior detail job. Considering I paid about $155 total to Wash N Werk for an exterior (including ceramic sealant) and interior detail job a couple years ago, I thought Josue's additional quote was reasonable. I ended up tipping $20 for a $160 total.
Prestige did something to my interior that no other detailer has done - they made my rubber mats look new and shiny. I also noticed a fine attention to detail to the nearly 22-year-old chrome around my gear shifter. They cleaned and polished it to a level I hadn't seen since I used to detail my car myself. It was shiny and spotless.
Payment was done via Square. It was convenient because I could pay using my phone. I didn't need to hand over a physical card or cash or anything like that.
Take a look at the pictures I uploaded here on Yelp to see the outstanding job that Josue and Justin did. My car is a 2001 model year, built in 2000. At the time that Josue and Justin worked on it, it had 284,300 miles on it. Original paint, trim, molding, wheels, headlights, leather, etc. They made my car look terrific, inside and out.
Josue was very responsive via Yelp messaging and text. He told me he uses wax products (spray, hand, buffing) from P&S and Chemical Guys. He also mentioned clay bar to me. I don't know what all he and Justin used on my car, but I did tell him up front that I mostly care about protecting and extending the life of my paint, leather, headlights, etc., which Josue understood.
Josue told me he became the new owner of Prestige in September 2021 (coming up on a year now), but has been in the car detailing business for years. He and Justin arrived in an unmarked white work van. They worked on my car for a solid 2+ hours which is a little longer than most mobile detailers I've used, but that's not a bad thing. What I love about mobile detailers is they come to you and there's certainly value in that.
