Nathan at Texas Shine is the real deal folks. It's rare to find a one-man wisdom tree when it comes to all things detailing and paint repair. I took my recently bought black BMW X5 in for a rock chip on my tailgate that I unfortunately caused by opening it into my garage door :( The rock chip was about the size of a finger nail. I went to many well rated places all over Austin to get quotes. Most of them wanted to repaint the whole panel, including replacing the BMW emblems. While I understand many paint repair places are looking for perfection, I really wanted to match the scale of the chip with the scale of the repair. Having to repaint the whole panel felt very unenvironmental. Nathan has mastered the art of targeted chip repair. He went through all the steps carefully: finding the right paint match, home-breweing a mix with clear-coat, filling the chip, allowing it to dry over two iterations, sanding it down, then buffing to finish. The results are amazing and definitely worth every penny. On top of that, I am a weekend warrior that does my own hand-washing. So the sheer amount of wisdom I was able to learn from him regarding detailing was amazing. I will definitely be incorporating some of his techniques into my own weekend hobby. If you've got any sort of job related to paint repair, coatings, detailing packages. You're in some of the best hands that exist in Austin. Definitely swing by his shop if you have any interest and he'll be happy to chat. I will definitely be returning again soon! read more

Nathan coated my new vehicle with Revivify and it looks great! Even after a few weeks, it still looks showroom new. I really appreciated his prompt communication and how education into maintaining the car. Thanks!! read more

I talked to a number of detailing shops when I decided to ceramic coat my new E450 and had high expectations for Texas Shine, based on their reputation - but I was still surprised at what an amazing experience I had there! Nathan carefully went over all aspects of the process: how to handle delivery from the dealer, all of my protection options, and detailed instructions about aftercare and maintenance. Most importantly, they did an amazing job with my car, and at a fair price. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would recommend them without hesitation! read more

I was looking for an authorized installer of CarPro C.Quartz Professional ceramic coating for my new Tesla Model 3 when I came across Nathan Alhades. When I called him, I was impressed by the way he took his time to educate me on the products, and to help me figure out exactly what I needed and why. After a 30-minute conversation, I understood my options a lot better, and decided to meet with Nathan. We then sat down and had an hour-long conversation that allowed me to get to know Nathan, make some decisions, and understand the whole process. Nathan goes over and above to build relationships with his customers from the ground up, very rare in our current rush-rush environment. I decided to go with Suntek PPF Ultra wrap (10 year warranty) over the entire vehicle and CarPro C.Quartz Pro Finest Reserve ceramic coating (3-year warranty), plus Llumar FormulaOne ceramic window tinting for the four side windows. Nathan installs the ceramic coating, and partners with Jason and his team at Sunbusters Window Tinting (in Austin, TX) who install the wrap and window tinting. These wraps and coatings are not cheap, so I wanted the best installers I could find. After a minor glitch during the installation process, Nathan and Jason bent over backwards to make sure the final result was perfect and that I was a very satisfied customer. The final result was gorgeous, and I now feel more confident when driving that a small flying rock is not going to take a big bite out of my paint finish! Plus, during recent rains I've seen how the water beads up and rolls right off, and the car is much easier to keep sparkling clean! Nathan has also scheduled a free service visit that he does for customers in which he'll come out to my house and show me the best washing products and techniques. Nathan has been doing this kind of work basically his whole life, since developing a passion for it when he started a detailing business while in high school. He is a true perfectionist, is highly ethical and skilled, and values his customer relationships to the utmost. I would highly recommend Nathan of Texas Shine Auto Detailing and Jason with Sunbusters for all your vehicle wraps and ceramic coatings in the Austin, TX area! read more

Nathan at Texas Shine is a true professional who goes above and beyond in terms of quality of work and customer service consistently. I had been looking for a professional car detailer in the Austin area for a few years when a friend gave me Nathan's number. I initially called Nathan to get some info on how his pricing works, and we ended up chatting for 20 minutes to address all my questions, concerns, and talk through the services he offers that would benefit my car the most. The results were phenomenal and he was able to make my 2005 Audi A4 look like a brand new car again. I would definitely recommend Nathan to all my friends and family for their car detailing needs. He definitely won over a life-long customer with me! read more

Nathan at Texas Shine does amazing work. Our 4 year old truck looks like new. Nathan sold us the right product that we needed for our particular situation. He didn't try to "up sell". He is very detailed oriented and takes pride in his work. Nathan is also very personable and professional. I HIGHLY recommend Texas Shine. read more

Nathan and team did an amazing job on the ceramic coat on my Porsche. Nice guy and very communicative. The results are fantastic! read more

Nathan Nathan did an incredible job on my detail. He was extremely thorough and you can tell he is very experienced with over 17 years in the industry. Not one to leave reviews, but this experience was top notch! read more

They do a great job on the car, but their service isn't good. Hard to get a hold of and don't return phone calls. Be very careful of giving them money in advance. read more

Recently had my 2012 Mustang detailed. The results were outstanding. Not only was the exterior like new, the engine compartment looked like I had only driven the car for a few weeks. The glass had no streaks and for the back glass that is no easy task. Nathan was able to remove a few of the scratches on the car and reduced the visibility of a couple of others. Two people in my neighborhood thought I had bought another Mustang. If the ratings allowed I would have given Texas Shine 4-1/2 stars. The 1/2 star deduction would be it took a couple of calls before I was able to make the appointment, and then the appointment was supposed to be between 7:30-8:00AM but he came around 10AM. I understood the reason but I had to contact Nathan to find out what the delay was. Would I use Texas Shine Auto Detailing if a future need arose? The answer would be an easy "yes." read more

The owner of TX Shine is a great guy--Nathan Alhades, and he runs a tight ship over there. His hard work and attention to the customer's individual needs is impeccable, and his environmentally-friendly products like poly's make a lot of sense they use minimal water, look AMAZING, and are SUPER low cost! I would recommend this detail shop to anyone with a boat, suv, bus, van, motorcycle, car, R.V., or probably PLANE! They do a great job at a low rate every time, not to mention the Poly's keep your car conditioned & protected for weeks! TX Shine is where it's AT! read more

I purchased Poly's from Texas Shine for detailing my motorcycle as I take pride in my 1997 Honda Valkyrie which was the very first one purchased in Austin, Texas. (I'd have Texas Shine detail it but it's a hobby/passion for me to tinker with my motorcycle). This product is AMAZING! Motorcycles are subjected to just about every possible element, manmade and Mother Nature produced. Poly's keeps the road dirt, dust, and rain pollutants at bay as it repels about anything that comes into contact with the painted surfaces, chrome and the like. However, I haven't found anything that repels 70 MPH bugs that hit the windshield. LOL I highly recommend Poly's and Texas Shine for any detailing need you might have including your autos, boats, motorcycles, wave runners, and yes...even airplanes! They are absolutely the best in Central Texas. read more

I've recommended a lot of detailers in the past, but I have to write a special review for Nathan and Texas Shine. Like many people, I thought I knew what a good detail looked like. I've had my cars detailed by several different companies with somewhat varying results. I've even done my own work, though I lack the time and materials to really do it correctly. I can see now that I was wrong. I didn't know what I was looking at. Certainly, all the major detailers in town do a great job, far better than the results most people get in their driveway. When you see your car really shined up for the first time in years, it feels magical and you think whoever did the work is the best guy in town. In my new business, I've had the opportunity to work with most of the high level detailers in town. I can tell you now who does a good job, who does a great job, and who just has really good marketing. The differences really can be night and day. Nathan is one of the best I've seen. I've seen cars come back in after a week of driving around that still look better than some cars that were freshly detailed by other guys who get rave reviews. I've watched how he works, and I see the things he gets that others outright miss. I know why he charges what he does, and honestly, for what you get, it's a bargain. That alone would be enough to recommend Nathan, but his professionalism and friendly attitude push him past the "simple recommend" stage. He's easy to talk to, easy to like, and he does exactly what he says he's going to do exactly when he says he's going to do it. No excuses. I see at least four or five different detailers a month and I've seen almost every detailer in the area. Nathan is my go-to guy. read more

I have used their services a number of times and they are very professional. They always tape off my top, which is really appreciated. I have yet to find another service that tapes off the top before detailing my car. They like advance appointments, but have been able to accommodate me last minute on more than one occasion. I highly recommend this service for exotic and classic car owners. They also do boats. read more

I have used this service for both my husband's car and my truck. I spend a lot of time in my car commuting to different job sites and I never really realized how much the condition of one's car can effect one's morale. After Texas Shine got through with my truck it really felt new again to me. It smelled good and looked great and I really started to enjoy driving again. I found the service incredibly convenient and courteous. The owner personally booked out appointment at a time that was best for our schedule, and he oversaw the detailing himself. I was just ecstatic at the outcome! Getting our vehicles detailed was mine and my husbands compromise in lieu of trading them in for new cars - so the detailing not only helped our driving experience, but, our pocketbooks too!! read more

Nathan has been taking care of my rides for seven years. He corrected overspray and other more subtle issues that his trained eye noticed. He does an especially good job on black vehicles. read more

Texas Shine Auto Detailing - Another amazing job by Nathan his crew at Texas Shine. He's taken care of all my rides over the past 7 years. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Austin, Texas

I used their online service to request information and received a phone call almost immediately. He (I'm sorry - I should have gotten a name) was very friendly, informative, caring, and helped me make the best decision that was right for me. He was incredibly judicious, courteous, and thoughtful. It sounds like this is a place to go if you have a higher-end car that wants incredible detail and attention or if you're about to sell your car. Five stars for excellent preliminary customer service. I have no doubts their detailing is just as excellent as their customer service. read more

Best auto detailing job I've ever had. These guys work on all my cars and spend so much time that I'm sometimes surprised they're even making money. They are car lovers and very, very serious about every single imperfection and detail. I'm very happy I found Texas Shine, especially compared to some other experiences I've had in Austin with other detailers. I haven't tried their monthly thing yet but intend to soon, and I'll update my review in a few months to cover that as well. read more

Nathan at Texas Shine is amazing!! He gave me a reasonable quote over the phone and completed the work on my car in less than an hour. If you ever spill coffee in the gear shift of your car---Nathan with Texas Shine is the man to see to clean it!! He took the console apart and cleaned inside all the nooks and crannies; and steam-cleaned the carpeting and seats. My car looks and smells great again! Nathan at Texas Shine is now my go-to guy for auto-detailing! read more

I'm one of those people that has a keen eye for details and particulars. Sometimes this is good and sometimes it isn't so good (just ask my wife). When it comes to keeping my two vehicles clean I typically take on that task. Up until I took my vehicle to Texas Shine I thought I did pretty good. These guys are simply amazing. I personally like that when I call Texas Shine I'm speaking directly to the owner, Nathan. Nathan has always impressed me with his perfectionist approach to car care. He simply won't accept anything less than the highest standard. read more

This is the second time I have used Texas Shine for my vehicles, the first time being on my beloved Indian Chief (motorcycle). This time, Nathan coordinated with a body shop, as my vehicle (new) had been rear ended during the Xmas holiday season. I knew I wanted the paint to be perfect, as this car is my dream car. After much discussion and questions, for which Nathan was extremely patient and detailed, I settled on a CQuartz Finest Coating and the associated services. The end result was simply fantastic, with a depth to the gloss that is simply stunning and the best part is the lack of wax for the coming two years. I highly recommend Texas shine as they clearly are the "Elite" in their industry. read more

I was uncertain about spending the $$$ to get a ceramic coating on my new Tesla, but after I had a few spots from rain and bird droppings that I couldn't remove, and knowing I would be keeping this car for a long time, I decided to take the leap. Nathan patiently worked with me to explain several options. He made sure I was comfortable with the services I decided on. Although my car was new, he made it look even better! He followed up few weeks later and even came out to my office to inspect the job to make sure he hadn't missed anything. read more

Texas Shine detailed my unridden '99 Harley DWG in my home. Required extra effort to protect the room and to clean multiple parts. After 16 years of only occasional dusting, the bike looks like it did on the showroom floor! read more

This was a great bargain and worth every penny. The time I saved not having to go to a brick-and-mortar location, and the value for money, was fantastic. The work was prompt, courteous and spot-on. I would recommend this service to anyone who wanted their car detailed. I'm so glad I didn't have to go to a detail shop and sit around for hours at a time to get my car done. It was completed at my house and I got some things I needed to do around the house while this was done, and it freed up my time to do other things. I will definitely be using them again. read more
