5 Point Auto Detail

The guys at Daniel’s tire are THE NICEST AND MOST PROFESSIONAL mechanics around! I have pulled in twice with stuff wrong with my car and they have solved my issues quickly and given me the best advice on how to inexpensive my fix my car. If that is how I am treated with minor stuff, I will MOST DEFINITELY be going there with my major car issues. These guys are legitimately nice and very honest. Highly recommend them!

Short version: Excellent place to get your car detailed, even if under a budget.
Long Version: I have two vehicles. My first one I brought to the shop was a used vehicle, and being in CA multiplies the rate at which a car gets dirty, but that’s another story. Anyways I had gotten the exterior cleaned up a little bit and gotten the windows tinted as the car has leather seats and you know what sun rays do to certain types of fabric and other surfaces, and I must say I was impressed.
Now for my other car, if I had to give it a rating between 1 and 10 it would have been at the highest a 2. This car’s interior was dirty, and I don’t mean just the wear and tear version, it was that bad. Sadly I don’t have any pictures to place on here to show the before and after but I highly recommend if you go to take before pictures, and if they request it allow them to take some too, and when you get it back take after pictures and compare them. If you saw my vehicle you would not believe it was the same car, they brought it to an 8 of 10, and the only reason it wasn’t a full 10 was due to some scratches on the car that I didn’t request removed, which I regret now (not their fault).

When it comes to interior detailing, there’s average, great and OCD. This is the only shop in San Diego that falls into the last category. Also, really nice guys — seem like a bunch of scientists the way they talk about their craft. The elite of San Diego for a reason.

I usually have my car detailed by another group that does mobile auto wash but I figured I’d give these guys a try due to the glowing reviews. I’m usually skeptical of the sheer positivity so I wanted to check it out personally. These guys do not dissappoint! Chris is fantastic and knows how to treat customers. He takes his time and explains the services, gives you straight forward answers, and does not try to upsell you on everything.
As for the quality itself, I had just bought a new car and wanted it detailed. It looks like it came out of a showroom floor! Unfortunately, with black cars it’s dirty again the next day.
Although a bit pricey (relatively I guess), it’s definitely worth going with 5Point if you only want the best. They also do window tint so my next visit will include that.

A great experience from beginning to end. I got an interior detail on a 370Z and the car looks like new now. The attention to detail (no pun intended) is amazing. Thanks Chris!

I had contacted this place on a quote for my 2007 suburban. There was a little confusion on the size type but they were very reasonable and worked with me on the price. I got the full 5 point detail service and let me tell you, my vehicle wasn’t best kept, very dirty inside and out. I trusted their work with my previous car I had done there. I picked up my suburban a few days later and it turned out better than I had hoped, Not 100% but better than I had expected. They did an amazing job bringing life back into my vehicle. Thanks Chris for working with me and keeping me informed of what they did to my vehicle. I will defiantly return if and when my car needs a good scrub down.

Consistency, consistency, consistency! Their world-​class costumer service keeps me coming back and the results speak for themselves.

This place is great — awesome customer service. After reading all the great reviews I decided to bring my white BMW in to get the basic detail ($ 50 which is a fantastic deal by the way) as my car was way overdue for a good cleaning. I was able to work with them to drop my car off after business hours and also to pickup after business hours and paid over the phone which made my life way easier.
When I picked my car up, it looked amazing, better than it looked since the day I bought it 3 years ago. Upon getting into my car, I found that my cigarette lighter cap was missing and I searched for it in the car and was unable to find it. Fast forward to the next day, I call 5 Point to see if they have it and indeed the man found it in the morning and said he had it at his desk. Instead of just asking me to come get it, he went out of his way to offer for me to wait until my car was dirty, bring it in for a free quick exterior wash that was I didnt have to drive all the way there just to pickup a plastic cap.
I thought this was going above and beyond and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants their car taken care of by good people.
5/​5, definitely coming back.

If you are looking for the best car cleaning services in San Diego, this is your place! Make sure to book an appointment because they fill up quickly!
This was my second time coming here & I could not be happier with their work!
Wash $ 30 — Takes about an hour. You can wait in the lobby & free wifi is available. Leo took care of my car, listened to what I wanted, & made sure that it was spotless! My car was filthy with all of the debris from the El Niño & afterwards, it was silky smooth. They also took care of the car jams & trunk space.

I can’t commend Adam and his awesome crew enough for the quality work that they’ve consistently done with my vehicles. All of my friends, family members, and co-​workers have also headed down to 5 Point Auto Detail to get their cars Ceramic Pro’d! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable on the products and services that they offer, but most importantly they are very courteous and just a cool bunch of car guys that are really passionate about their work. My quick highlights on the Ceramic Pro 9H treatment: it is the craziest gloss you will ever see, if you have a black car it looks literally like ink, the CP on wheels means no brake dust and less cleaning, VERY hydrophobic which means less car washes… and the best part is you will never have to waste time waxing! I’ve recommended Adam, 5 Point Auto Detail, and Ceramic Pro to everyone I know… why go anywhere else but get it from the CP source! Thanks again, Adam and crew, for the «magic» you guys do for my rides!

I was referred to 5 Point from a Ferrari 458 owner. I’m so glad I made the trip down to get an estimate and meet Chris. Impressed immediately with their professionalism and showing interest my vehicle. Last week I finally brought my Audi S5 and my wife’s Porsche Macan for some work. Stage 2 correction with Ceramic Pro Sport on Audi and Complete Exterior detail with Ceraminc Pro Sport on Macan. I could not have been more pleased. Hopefully they can get a shop in North County some day. I think they would do very well in Encinitas, Carlsbad etc…
Anyway, Leo, Chris and their team are terrific. I will refer everyone I know because of their genuine love of cars and customer service. Thanks again 5 Point!!!

If I could give more stars I would. These gents where excellent in my opinion. I took my 1969 Chevelle in for a nice polish and cleaning. They touched up small blemishes and made my paint shine like it was new. I will never go anywhere else for detailing. I truly mean that, I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

First of all I would like to thank Chris and his crew for doing an outstanding job on my 2016 M3.
Chris was very knowledgable, detailed and thorough at introducing the product. In a comprehensive manner, Chris explained the different stages of the process, answered all my questions, and even illustrated by drawing up a graph/​diagram to help me visualize and understand how the product actually worked and the results I would expect after the entire process was complete. Chris was quite impressive, and equally so, was his team of professionals that help do the job. Those guys are all about business, and I could see the seriousness, focus, and the great attention to detail that they exhibited. When I saw the finished product — my shiny M3, I was amazed! They touched every nook and cranny! I am totally impressed, and totally satisfied! Thank you Chris and team for making my 2016 BMW M3 look impeccable!

5 stars for 5 point! They did an excellent job with my car’s interior. I can’t believe how they turned my hot mess of a car into a clean awesome smelling fresh ride. The staff is very professional and helpful. Go see them!

I really wish this business was a one stop shop for all my car needs, like for oil changes, new tires, tire rotation. I would give them all my money for the positive, professional and knowledgable team over at 5 Point. When I first contacted them through Unilocal,I received a response the next morning from the owner and a phone call from Leo. They both answered my questions thoroughly about interior and exterior CeramicPro protection and window tinting. Not once did I feel pressured to come in or did I feel their answers were gimmicky or salesy. I made an appointment to get my windows tinted only and came in this week to get them done. When I arrived I was greeted by Chris who was helpful with walking me through the different tinting options and what it would look like. He also answered my questions thoroughly and I didn’t feel rushed to make a decision. when I decided, I gave him the keys and hung out in their waiting area, which is equipped with wifi and a table so that I could work while I waited. When an issue occurred, the staff brought it to my attention immediately and went above and beyond to accommodate instead of leaving me cluelessly waiting for hours. I am still really impressed that they value their customers enough to correct an issue before a customer becomes irate or leaves a bad review online.
I’m also really happy with the tint on all my windows! I went with a clear tint on my front side windows and darker in the back, plus an eyebrow tint on the windshield. The eyebrow tint is awesome as it cuts down on the glare that the sun visors barely shield your eyes from. The car is noticeably cooler and my kids are much happier with a shadier backseat.
I mentioned «thorough answers» multiple times throughout my review because I’ve had a fair amount of icky experiences at car places — the biggest peeve for me and a lot of other women I know is the «Mansplaining.» This is one of the only places I’ve been to that offers car services, and my questions were not answered by drawing me a picture of a car (and a crappy drawing at that) and circling parts of the car, or throwing around words that don’t exist. So thank you, Adam, Leo, Chris and team for keeping 5 Point a Mansplain-​Free Zone!

Leo is super honest. We were quoted $ 975 from autobody shops to repair a clearcoat damage on my newly purchased Lexus ES 350 driver side door. He took a clearcoat friendly solution, worked it right off in less than a minute and didnt even try to charge us for this. You gotta love genuinely honest people like this. Thank you again Leo for taking care of us!

Ok Let me first say that 5 point Auto detail is as good as it gets. I had both my BMW and Toyota truck detailed and paint protected there recently. They do an amazing Job! I couldn’t believe the quality of workmanship and results. They treated me with dignity and respect and at no time did I ever feel like they didn’t mean it. Everyone we dealt with from beginning to end was super professional and cared about my cars as if they were there’s. Both my truck and car came out shining like it was brand new and the interior was impeccably worked over. I recommend highly getting the paint protection as it looks amazing. Even in the worst rain storm rain just bounces off like its not there! So impressed with these guys. Highly recommended! Thanks 5 point 5 stars for sure!

The 5 Point Detail package is worth every penny! My black Nissan Juke shined like it was brand spanking new.
The team is very professional at 5 Point Auto. Adam followed up with my appointment inquiry online within the hour. Chris did an excellent job explaining the various services they offered. And Ismael did an awesome job detailing my car inside & out. I paid extra to have some scratches removed and other than some minor indentation, they were practically removed.
The experience at 5 Point was top notch! I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Chalio and Miguel were awesome. Went above and beyond the call of duty…3 cars in one day. They were very detailed in their work and had a smile all day, even when I sprung the surprise that I wanted my 3^rd car (beach car… packed with sand) washed and vacuumed as they were getting ready to leave.
I will use them again for sure.

Went to the guys at 5 Pt, and was completely impressed and happy with the results.
Chalio did a great job on my daughters first used car and took special care to the details knowing we were worried about the cleanliness of her car.
We were impressed with Chris and the team as well. They made sure to clearly state what they do and ensured there was no surprises.
We are planning to take our newer car there for detailing and care.
Thanks guys!

I returned to the 5 Point Detail team to get the Ceramic Gold Pro coating inspected after a year (part of the annual inspection for warranty). As always I was kindly taken care of by Chris, Adam, and the rest of the staff. Adam is a true car guy and enthusiasts. He appreciates a cool car when he sees one and is willing talk about BMWs all day if he could!
I scheduled a couple days in advance and the car was ready in the estimated period. The new (ish) location is great and lots of things to do in the area while waiting.
My CP coating and window tint still look great after a year. I will continue to comeback and recommend friends to 5 Point because they treat their customers’ car as if it was their own.

This was a great mobil detailing spot. Chalio H came and made my dull car shine like a diamond. I found them on Unilocal and they are the best I’ve used so far. My 2013 Honda Accord Sport looks brand new. Keep up the good work.
Thanks

I can’t say enough good things about 5 Point. The entire company staff is amazing. While I’m here they will always get my business. Ceramic Pro and Clear Bra are next for me and I couldn’t be any more happier to have them do it. I truly recommend them to anyone.

Took my brand new Fiat 500e here. I told myself I would never own another black car, but I did. To alleviate my anxiety, I talked to Adam. I’ve heard nothing but good things about 5 point, so I decided to give him a try. He recommended Ceramic Pro, so I went for it.
After a couple days of constant updates and teasing pictures, I picked my car. I’m in shock. It is incredible. The black paint is so deep and wet looking. I’m in love with the Ceramic Pro. Being that it’s a black car, I will probably wash it twice as much as I do with my white one, so I’m glad that it’s a lot more protective than an ordinary wax.
They warned me that the worst part about the Ceramic pro is that I would want me to bring the rest of my cars here… They were right… Why didn’t I come to 5 Point earlier?!
Thanks Adam and 5 Point!

a week ago, I brought in my other car a black Honda Accord, it is only six month old and already the paint showed signs of «spider web» swirls and from a previous polish job from the AutoBody shop, «halogram» swirls. I bought it in on a Friday for my appointment, we talked about different options. But i knew already that to get it to the level of perfect i had to end it with their sealant Ceramic Pro.
i forgot to bring my camera with me to take some good photos but they did post a pic of reflection shot on their instagram page. talk about mirror finsh. i chatted wit the owner very nice guy and very informative. give them a try if your car needs some professional help or if you want ultimate protection on your ride.

Long story short:
If you’re deciding on a place with great customer service and auto detailing/​paint protection skills, this is the place! They are very detailed-​oriented! If you read through all the reviews, Adam and his crew does go above and beyond. If it was a bad day and they didn’t deliver, he will make it right! If you’re wondering if ceramic coating is worth the money, yes it is! Whether you have a Honda Civic or Ferrari, they will take care of you! (I saw both today in the shop)
Long review for paint protection:
First, I would like to thank all the Unilocalers who reviewed 5 point especially Jill. Her review persuaded me to consider 5 Point for a ceramic coating. I am also an auto detailing nerd. I considered doing the prep work and application myself but I do not have the time! I work and I go to school which is why I considered getting coated in the first place. I simply do not have the time to spend hours and hours on my car each week even though I enjoy doing it! Maintenance will not be as bad. Water and dirt should repel better than traditional waxes and sealants. The car had Carpro’s Hydro2 and it kicks ass in the hydrophobic department as far as spray on sealants go.
I initially emailed Adam for an estimate for the Opti-​Coat Pro service. Turns out, among other authorized installers, are opting out of this service. I believe their chemicals and pricing have changed as of 2014. He did have some back stock and offered to install it on my Lexus for a fair price. He offered the Ceramic Pro 9H package but I was hesitant because I have not researched it. It was between Opti-​Coat Pro v. Cquartz Finest.
About a month later of contemplating, I’ve decided to take Adam’s offer on the last batch of Opti-​Coat Pro. I really wanted to do Cquartz Finest but it was out of my budget. I did have other projects for the car after all! I thought about doing Cquartz UK because I like Carpro products but Ultimately I chose Opti-​Coat Pro because of the deal and I still use Optimum Polymer Technology Products.
We made the appointment and I brought the car over. Leo inspected the car and it did not need major paint correction. I took care of the paint the past few months. He made sure I wanted to go along with the Opti-​Coat service instead of the Ceramic Pro. He offered me a good deal but I was set on Opti-​Coat. Six hours later, my car was finished! About 1−2hrs before my expected time! He also vacuumed the car!
Chris did the installation and went over the car with me. I was really impressed! I never got the rims to look like this! The gloss was great especially for a white car! He does take his time, as I seen him working on other cars.

It’s thrilling to see business owners who actually care.
After leaving initial review, I was contacted by the owner via cell and Unilocal message offering to take a look and remedy the problem either at the auto shop or my home/​work.
While I was working, he came, I quickly showed him the problem spots. He went above and beyond reworking the entire car! Did an astounding job.
No regrets coming here

These guys are great. I was very impressed with their attention to detail! They go the extra mile and really go out their way to make your car look GREAT. It was like watching someone washing their OWN car !!! Leo, was great… and even came out after my car was done to take a second look at the finished product and assisted in hitting some small spots that might have been overlooked.
If you REALLY care about your car and how/​who washes it… I would definitely recommend 5 Point Auto Detail.
I took my car to one of the those «drive thru» car washes and a couple of guys dry it afterwards with dirty towels and they SCRATCHED my hood with those dirty towels they use on EVERY car.
Leo pointed out a few blemishes and scratches and recommended the right detail for my car and I have to admit… my car looked so GOOD, that I had to bring my girls car there the same day to get cleaned!

I got my NSX detailed here about a month ago. I found many great reviews from Unilocal as I am very anal about who touches my car. I made an appointment over the phone with Leo and he was very professional and polite.
I came on a busy Saturday and was greeted by Leo. His customer service and mannerisms were outstanding. The guys were prompt with getting my car worked on. All of the guys were very funny which kept me entertained through the entire wait time.
They were even kind enough to touch up a ripped spot on my clear bra.
The only thing I found a little strange was a picture of my car posted on a SD parts forum? I found out about it after other car enthusiasts saw it and sent it to my phone.
Other than that, the service and results were amazing.
