California Detail Shop

I’ve had my car for five years now, and I’ve gotten my share of car details. This is by far the most thorough, and most effective detail I’ve ever gotten. In fact, the car looks better than the day I bought it. Steve’s prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the amazing job they do. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Unilocal Warning: it’s not a car wash. I took my car for interior shampooing, and they did a fantastic job. The owner takes a direct interest in the business and is sometimes there. Good price and quick service.

Hey, this place rocks! I thought they would be too busy to get to my car the same day, because of how many cars were parked in their space. But they got my car nicely detailed in about 3 hours. Bonus: The Glendale Galleria is within walking distance. I ate and did some shopping while waiting for my car.

I would like to start off by saying I can’t believe i ever refered so many people to this dump. Don’t be fooled by all the 5* reviews. This place is a joke. I had taken my car here a few years ago and they did a so/​so job. It’s the closest detail shop near by so i made the mistake of trying to get my car detailed there again.
I called and made a appointment 2 days prior. I arrived 15 minutes early to be told that there isn’t enough room for my car and that i would have to come back another day. The owner was not there and I was speaking to the «manager». I feel as if he racially profiled me. He was very rude and even threw out a few names at me in spanish as I walked out.
Just want to put it out there that I have contacted the better business bureau and I will pursue consequential actions for as long as it takes.

Loved how clean my car got!

Super great experience. Steve was so nice and friendly while I was waiting. The guys postponed their lunch break just so I wouldn’t have to wait. Definitely not necessary, but very kind. If you need your engine steam cleaned or just want everything detailed, these guys do a bangarang job.

Very Dirty Job (Micky mouse job) we took a truck and we ask to clean wash inside and out and the engine too and was No seat in it was open we went next day we took the truck we check inside was not cleaned or washed they only spray oil shiny spray on dirt we can see all old dirt under the side wall panels i start wiping the oil from dash and floor the towel was getting black dirt, in stet they use that BS oily spray just wash and clean with rag and that is it they are fooling costumers with that oily spray. Never ever take your car to that place.

I had my 2013 Chrysler 300 washed and detailed last week and it looks amazing. their customer service is on point and they did an extraordinary job on my car. I haven’t seen it shine like this since I bought it! I’m lucky enough to live right around the corner from the shop but they did such nice work, I would drive 100 miles to come back to these guys. attention to detail, care of my personal belongings inside the car, AND they got it done fast with 5 – 6 other cars ahead of me. I will not go anywhere else now that I’ve had the best!

Just got my right headlamp polish wax & buffed for only 20 bucks amazing work they did it looks bran new and great customer service for sure! Highly recommended!

White cloth seat. Chinese food. Days of waiting. Rock hard stain.
I took the coche to this joint because reviews. $ 75 later, the interior is spotless, and the stains are gonzo!
Pro tip: Call ahead, their lot is CROWDED.
Pro tip: hit up Gina’s across the street for some killer legit tacos and refreshingly rude service. And don’t forget, they have frijoles.

Best detail shop in Los Angeles all my cars and family cars only go here for the past 5 years!!! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately I am going to have to give a one start. It could have easily been a 5 star if there was more attention to detail. I actually waited a couple days before I posted try and help but its been almost a week now and the problem is too big to ignore.
To start off I brought my car in on a Saturday early in the morning. I dropped my car off at opening time and picked it up at closing time. When I arrived the car looked perfect. They did an excellent job with the cleaning and waxing of the exterior. The interior was done well also. I was happy.
The bad part was I guess when they cleaned the trunk they put way too much liquid or didn’t vacuum the water out well enough. Two problems then occurred. First, the immediate problem which kind of sucked. I had my backpack with all my school supplies inside. Books, homework, paper. When I picked it up and opened it. All my stuff was wet. My notebook and book now have pretty bad water damage. I kind of shook that off since the semester is almost over.
Second problem is the one that sucks even worse. I started to smell mold through out the car. I already had an idea since my backpack was wet that the material in the back was not dry. This is where I tried to give it a couple days to see if the problem would go away. Almost a week later and the smell is even worse. I am going to have to bring it some where else to get the material in the trunk redone.
I doubt this is a normal problem seeing their reviews but maybe it was just too busy on a Saturday. Like I said would be a easy 5 star if the trunk situation did not happen.

We have no time today ?! Really so I made an appointment being recommended to this place by mechanic is an appointment an appointment or get here early like 15 min before my appointment mean I have no appointment. The communication isn’t clear. I wouldn’t recommend this because I don’t how well there work is if there communication sucks ! Really they need help why have a phone !

My car needed a detail so I searched and found the great reviews here. I had an errand to run in Eagle Rock so decided to try it. I brought it in and though they offered me a ride to get my errand done, I had some work to do, too, so I chilled in the office and got some done. Pedro is a really nice guy and the owner seems to be A-​ok, too!
It was done and I noticed my leather seats hadn’t been fully cleaned; there were still dust particles and some debris between the lines in the seats but I had to go to my appointment so I left and came back to get it taken care of. Pedro and his co-​workers were more than happy to give it a second cleaning.
Overall, I am happy with the service I received. The car looks pretty new again but the chemical odor is a bit too strong for me. I would probably come back here but ask them to go way lighter on the chemicals if I had an errand to run in the area. Otherwise, it’s a bit too far out the way for me. But friendly and fast service.

I’d give 6 stars if I could. Pedro and Steve were great. And my first detail job was awesome! Will definitely be back…

These guys were great. Restored my corolla. Prices are on website. Good deal for 120. Would come back.

Pedro helped me! My car was ready in 4 hours. They did an incredible job.
$ 100 was a totally reasonable rate. I will definitely recommend California Detail Shop to all my friends. My interior and Exterior are looking fresh and clean. Very Professional. Five Solid Stars! They offer rides if you need them, I had a friend drop me off and pick me up, but now I know for the future.

I would never and ever take my car to this place. They had to do detail my car but the only thing they did is to put lot of oil on my seats. I paid $ 145 for just a regular car wash and one of the plastic part inside of the car is broken after I got the car back.
Avoid this shady place!

Pros & Cons to make your life easier:
PROS:
-$ 100 was reasonable for the level of work they did, especially compared to every other car wash I’ve been to in LA.
–Stains/​marks that had been there for YEARS (that i thought were not removable because other car washes did not remove them) were gone.
–My car looks as shiny as a brand-​new car.
–Pedro, the gentleman who helped me, was SO courteous & pleasant. He allowed me to look at my car after they finished, and every time I noticed something that I wanted cleaner or something that wasn’t cleaned completely (which was way too often, to the point where I felt uncomfortable pointing out how many dirty spots I noticed), he didn’t act annoyed or bothered AT ALL. He just cleaned whatever I asked to be cleaned. Which leads me to the CONS…
CONS:
–I shouldn’t have to point out so many dirty spots. Some places that you think would have been cleaned for a detailing were not cleaned (smudges on vanity mirrors/​rearview mirror, black marks on the interior of the doors, etc). But again, Pedro was extraordinarily polite and did not act annoyed at all when I pointed out any concerns.
***To their credit: I arrived when they opened at 7:30 a.m. and told them that I needed my car cleaned by 9:30. Also in their defense, my car was pretty disgusting to begin with — however, the interior was actually very clean to begin with, so there’s no excuse for me finding crumbs and whatnot on the floor.****
–When I got into my car, the seatbelt was soaking wet. It would have been nice to be warned of that in advance.
PRO OR CON?
–There are no prices listed anywhere. I overheard what appeared to be the owner (he did not introduce himself to me, which was awkward — he just asked me what I was having done and how much I was being charged) on the phone with someone who asked about a cleaning, and he told them $ 70. So would I have gotten a cheaper quote if I had called in advance? It’s a little sketchy to give prices over the phone when it was my understanding that they tell you how much it will cost based on looking at your car.
CONCLUSION
When I think «detailed» I think PERFECTLY clean. I would not call this job perfect, but I would say it was very good considering I gave them a limit of 2 hours and my car had many exterior stains. I also felt $ 100 was reasonable by LA standards.
I plan on going there again in the future — maybe it will be more «perfect» the second time around.

Woohoo indeed! I got my car’s interior done (just the interior) and man oh man it looks practically brand new in there. Albeit there are some stains on the seats that they just couldn’t get out, which is definitely understandable. I don’t expect a completely new looking seat upholster.
I dropped it off during my lunch break and then picked it up in 3 hours. Couldn’t be happier with the results!
