    CAR
    Ricky M.

    Mel is the best hands down once you take your vehicle here there's no need to go anywhere else from customer service to knowledge on what he's gonna be doing to your car and what even he can't do to your car which nowadays honesty is key thanks again Mel! And The Detailing Pros

    Water damage from my unit's flood

    Mel is absolutely the real deal! He did a phenomenal job repairing my neighbor's car after it was damaged from a water leak in my unit. The water flowed along the roof of our parking garage, landing on the car with not only hard water, but concrete mixed in as well. Mel was very transparent in saying he may not be able to get the damage completely out, however his work made this 11 year old car look good as new! Mel is super passionate about what he does. He even took the time to explain how newer cars nowadays don't have much paint on them and that protecting your paint job and waxing your car regularly is an absolute must if you want your car looking good for years (he likened it to our face- you have to keep it clean and moisturized if you want it looking nice). He does an excellent job for a reasonable price. Thanks so much, Mel!!

    Mel is absolutely amazing. I bought a 2021 range rover and wanted to make sure that she was ceramic coated as we live at the beach and it can be rather harsh. I never dreamed when I drove her away from Land Rover of Newport Beach she could look any better. Mel worked his magic and oh my goodness, she is actually even more beautiful than she was on the showroom floor. Thank you so much you are a true artist.

    Omg our Tesla is so deep and glossy in color and literally looks mirror like

    Absolutely insane results the car literally looks wet!!!!! It's the finish you only really see on show cars but REVIVIfy was able to achieve with no problem.

    Mel updated me the entire process on what he was doing and how it was going.

    I brought Mel my 2000 Mercedes Benz SL 500 for a ceramic coating. Mel not only exceeded my expectations, he also went above and beyond. My car looks better than brand new!

    These guys are absolutely amazing! I had a little situation and Mel was very helpful and took care of me right away. I had a scratches all over the car and now it seems like the car is brand new. I'm a local business supporter and you can't go wrong coming to this place. Not over charged and excellent service in a timely manner. Thank you Detailing Pros!!!

    Phenomenal job from Mel!

    I took my 1992 Acura NSX (Black) to Mel. It was full of swirls and he took care of it with a full paint correction. I had him get it ready for an event that I went to in Vegas. After a long weekend there, it rained and spots were all over the car. I called Mel to see what we can do, and he just told me to bring the car to fix it. Superb customer service. Mel keeps it real. Thank you HB Detailing pros!

    Mel is THE BEST! I had awful water spots all over my black Jeep from our sprinkler -- all over the paint and all over every tinted window. I had also done the terrible thing of letting it sit with all of that on there for almost 8 months. I brought it to Mel and he was amazing!! Fit me in right away, super cool guy and my Jeep looks INSANE. He even completely restored my fenders and bumpers as well. The car looks brand new and it's 6 years old! He also completely cleaned my entire engine as well. It's obvious he's great at what he does and really enjoys his work! He is the man! Cannot recommend him enough!

    Mel is a master. My 5 year old black car was starting to look dark gray. Mel was able to restore the color and depth of the paint back to better than original. His keen eye and expertise on auto finishes is evident. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants their ride looking great and protected.

    UPDATE: Updating my review since the business owner…read moreobviously likes to respond to all his negative reviews to try and control the narrative - saying customers are lying, leaving false reviews, or weren't even customers to begin with. To start, the business owner is saying I lied about my experience and I was "belligerent" over them being late. He edited his response to me four different times (see emails). To address his original comments: 1.) "you provided two different numbers" -- this information is correct, however, the business owner ONLY used the primary one (just for clarification) and never contacted the other number throughout this experience. 2.) "over an hour before arrival, we informed you our technician would be running late" -- I wasn't contacted by anyone from this company until *I* reached out first, by this time, the technician was already late by 10 minutes. 3.) "we completed your full service including the engine bay detail, which we have clear photo evidence of" -- business owner offered free wash, wax, and engine bay cleaning due to being late - the wax was not done, or done poorly, and the engine bay was not cleaned, we were picking leaves out of it and its dusty, as you can see in the picture. 4.) "after the job was finished, we spoke directly" -- no? We didn't speak directly. I spoke to your technician and thanked him for his work and tipped him - but since he showed up late, we were pressed on time and needed to be on our way and didn't check the car throughly. 5.) "I still gave you a courtesy discount due to the delay" -- for clarification, no discount was given on the initial cost of the Interior Only detail. Only the offer of free services that were not completed, other than the wash. 6.) "you were belligerent over us arriving 30 minutes late, even though we had already let you know in advance that we were running behind and confirmed before booking that you had the entire day open." -- apparently, a customer being short and annoyed that your technician was running late with no notice isn't allowed lmao. If a woman says "hi." or "no, I don't want to cancel" is considered "belligerent", I suppose that's a whole other issue you have. Again, I wasn't told in advance that your technician would be late, and I never once said I had the entire day open. 7.) "Throughout the entire process, your behavior toward our team was distasteful and confrontational." -- when your technician arrived, I said hello, and politely asked him to move his car from blocking the driveway. That was the only interaction I had with him, aside from tipping him. We let him do his work and we sat in front of the house in the sun for about 20 minutes, on our property, several feet away from him. Overall, this company lacks professionalism and can't admit to being wrong. Cya

I'm so grateful for they being able to fit me into their schedule! Steve came to my apartment to clean my car, and was super nice! He did a great job getting rid of any stains and odor. My car smells brand new. There were some small areas that he missed, however they were pollen stains that even I couldn't get out if I tried, and some paint chips on the hood, but there's always a risk if that with pressure washing so I don't really care. He also threw in a clay coating since he was running a little behind, which was super kind! The price for the exterior and interior silver package is pretty consistent with other car detailing services. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend!

    Found Xtreme Edge thru Yelp back in 2017 and decided to give them a try when I bought my BRZ then…read more Allen and his crew did such a nice job that it only felt natural that I go back to their shop this go around when I got my GR86. From the initial messaging thru yelp about their services and pricing - not only were they responsive in responding back but almost mindful and giving you some grace when the scheduled time moves last minute. The materials they used, the workmanship, and the attention to the smallest detail is second-to-none that it's no wonder car people go to their shop for ppf/tint/detail work. Allen will work around your budget as well and understands the investment that a customer puts in to their vehicle. He treats you more than a customer - but rather a friend that you once had a few drinks with. I've always believed in the saying buy once, cry once.. but with Allen and his team, you get more than what you paid for and the results bring nothing but smiles knowing it was done meticulously. You will be happy you went to their shop!

Xtreme Edge have gone above and beyond - not only did they reinstall the PPF, they fixed the damages that the auto repair shop caused. The amount of care they have for their customers is beyond anyone's expectation. They constantly kept me updated about my car and are such honest people. Alan really took care of my car. I highly recommend this place.
