I would HIGHLY recommend Tim and Adonis. After doing a ton of research on PPF's which could be installed in one piece for my new Porsche Macan GTS, I found Tim and Clearguard Nano SR. I personally don't like the look of the seams you get with the other available products. Other shops told me it couldn't be done on a Macan but Tim was able to install CGNSR without stretching the film. Tim let me know it's a difficult install but his attention to detail and eye for perfection resulted in a great install. I'm very happy with the result and have since let my dealership know about Adonis. I have Carrara White paint and the brilliance of the metallic paint still shows through. You can't tell it's on the car. That was another concern I had with other films. Tim also did paint protection on the entire car. I've since washed the car 2 times and it's SO easy and QUICK to wash. The painted Sport Classic Wheels clean up easily even with heavy brake dust. I'm loving this car and If you have a Macan and want to get PPF, I encourage you to speak with Tim. He's a PRO and great to work with. I'm very happy with my investment. read more

I saw some of Tim's work prior to dropping off my car and was impressed. Tim is very detail-oriented and does phenomenal jobs! He kept me updated on the progress of my wrap and it is perfect! It was a mission for me; ~55 miles. Well worth it! I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Tim wrapped my white Carrera T. A+++++++++++ read more

Called Adonis detail to get a quote for detail job on our truck. I was asked about color and all kinds of details and then quoted a price of $650. When I called back couple of days later to make an appointment I was told that they had time to think about the price and that they would not make any money on this. So if I want the detail done, I need to pay between $800 and $900 depending on material used. read more

My truck is 7 years old, and it now looks like it rolled off the showroom floor! I'm extremely meticulous about my truck and have been disappointed by many auto detailers. Tim is the best I've ever found and his work speaks for itself! From your Chevy and my Toyota, to his exceptional work on Lamborghinis and Ferrari vehicles, people can put their trust in Adonis Detail for the best looking detail job around. I know now that I've protected my car investment for years to come! You'll be proud to be seen in your car after Tim is done with it! read more

I had Tim do the CQuartz on my Mercedes E63 Wagon and his work ethic, honesty and attention to detail is impeccable. I was and am beyond happy with the results and his very thorough documentation of the process. It's now been 5 months since he preformed the work and my car still looks stunning in any light. Thank you very much Tim! read more

Mini Update: Modesta is working like a dream. Did a quick wipe down since I had some bug guts on the hood and it came off like nothing. My M4 stays cleaner for longer as well. Definitely better than Ceramic Pro 9H by a solid margin. read more

I've scoured San Diego for the best detail shops and gotten quote on a few of my previous vehicles and even with my S5 and after all the research and trial and ERROR, I couldn't help but look into Adonis after i was referred by ANOTHER DETAIL SHOP. I took my 2009 Audi S5 to Tim Coats after first asking another company if they can clay bar and fix some swirls and then put a sealant on the beast. They instantly referred me to Adonis and Tim Coats specifically. He called Tim up on the spot, and after a few questions and a quick quote we figured out just about what we were in for. The work done was Stage 3 Paint Correction, 2 Dents removed, de-badged the car, full detail and C-Quartz Finest installation, and not to mention the DELIVERY. I was leaving the country soon so my big thing was, where can my car be picked up when he's done? or if he could bring it to my storage? and if I'd be satisfied when i came back in 3 months? Tim answered all of those questions, and Tim also suggested I get ahold of TAG Motorsports because we discussed that i wanted more work done. A few days after we talked, I showed up to his shop and we talked for nearly an hour about what we're looking at, he answered every possible question I could have, and afterwards he even said he'd deliver it to my storage unit, put my car cover on it, and check the battery before I returned. The quote he gave me over the phone and in person was spot on. When I left my car with him i had full trust that he would be taking good care of her and I was more then excited at the final product. Tim was very professional, and he really truly cares about the product he puts out. So much so, he installed a clear bra that didn't take well because my bumper has simple good dimples in it that couldn't help but show with the clear bra on, and he offered to remove it and not charge me due the fact it was not "perfect". When it's all said and done Tim certainly exceeded every expectation I had and gives me confidence in him to go back there for maintenance upkeep and even my next vehicles paint protection. Thanks again, she's looking gorgeous still, and ready for the car show in 2 weeks. read more

Before my Porsche Cayman GT4 arrived I did extensive research over on the Porsche Forum and from friends regarding Paint Protection Film installation. I checked out a few shops that had excellent yelp ratings close to me here in Los Angeles but I did not like the few examples that I saw first hand. Since my car was still months away i casually browsed the Forum and came upon Tim's post regarding a car he just installed PPF on. I was blown away and his attention to detail was excellent. I gave him a call and we discussed options... Answered all my questions and told him i'll call him again when my GT4 arrived. As soon as my GT4 arrived I scheduled my PPF installation with Tim. 2 hour drive to Carlsbad to drop my car off and left it in Tim's hands. He recommended a product by Prestige Films called "Clearguard Nano" and I was sold on the clarity and glossiness of the product. I also had him install Ceraluxe Ceramic Tint and Modesta Titanium coating over the film to further protect it. During the time Tim had the car he kept me updated daily on the cars status with pictures. Upon pick up the car was immaculate... I couldn't be happier with the work. This man is known as the GT4 whisperer among the GT4 club. Tim takes extreme pride in his work... Pictures don't do what he can do justice. If your looking for PPF look no further. read more

i accidentally hit a curb when driving my wife's car and scratched up the bottom pretty good. i thought the scratches were too deep to fix, but a friend of mine recommended Adonis Detail, and said if it can be done, then this was the place. I dropped it off with the owner Tim and he said he would do what he could and also take care of some of the other small scratches already on it. tim called me the next day and said the car was ready for pickup. when i got there i noticed the car was waxed outside, tires dressed and the inside was spotless. not only that but he was able to get out a majority of my scratches...i knew i did a number and was more than happy with what he was able to do. read more

Tim will take excellent care of your car and you will not be disappointed in the results. His customer service is second to none both before and after the job is done. Shops like his are a rare find and I'm only reluctant to write this review for fear he'll become so busy I'll never be able to get my car back in for future detailing. I love the results and my car couldn't look any better. read more

Tim is a perfectionist and has an eye for the small details that most would overlook. Great guy, will take great care of your car.

I just picked up my 2014 Porsche Cayman S from Hoehn Porsche in Carlsbad, CA after doing a European Delivery at the Porsche Factory, Zuffenhausen, Germany. After driving in Europe for 1500 miles in all weather except snow, the car was used a lot! I researched online and in person all the detail places in San Diego. My car is a "daily driver" and not a show car. I wanted to have a strong protective coating, AND be able to take care of it myself very easily, as being 71 years old i do not want to get down on my hands and knees and spend hours (as I used to do) cleaning everything. I decided on Tim who owns Adonis Detail after spending time with him. He is very knowledgeable, and very interested in groaning his new business, which he operates out of his garage in Carlsbad. He just finished my car with C Quartz ceramic coating which took him 10 + hours and an overnight "curing" of the ceramic coating. Just SPECTACULAR! He is coming to my home in a week to show me how to maintaing this with "Waterless Washing" which I can do in my garage regularly to minting this coating. Tim's prices are very reasonable compared to all the competition; he is determined to grow his business. I highly recommend him. read more

Absolutely best decision I made with my Maserati QP! Only wish I had done it sooner. My car was beautiful to me, so I had it washed constantly. Unfortunately, I was also plagued with swirls and marring in the sunlight, even after a fresh hand wash. Tim and Adonis Detail set me straight with paint correction and the hybrid nano-coating! I mean this service/product is amazing. If you're like me, you always want your car looking its best. However, my QP is also my daily use vehicle, which makes upkeep of its appearance a real task. After the paint correction and nano coating, I swear it looked like it came off the new car lot! Mind you, I had the car a full year before finding Tim. Now, the car has this beautiful glass like coating constantly. Its like a permanent wax detail. After a week of driving, all I had to do was spray my car down with a power nozzle, wipe away the excess and dress the tires. It looked AMAZING! I cannot recommend Tim and Adonis Detail enough. Tim is friendly, professional, and makes the service seamless. I will never own another vehicle without having it undergo the Adonis treatment. Do yourself a favor, run don't walk! read more

I brought my Audi A4 2016 to Tim of Adonis Detail, 2332 La Mirada Dr #400, Vista, CA 92081 after some aesthetic enhancement made by TAG Motorsports. Sean of TAG Motorsports recommended Adonis Detail after I asked him who he thinks is the best paint protection installer in San Diego i.e. XPEL paint protection and Nano coating application. Tim is the MAN! He did an amazing job with my car!!! He is great person to work with and very knowledgeable of the work he does. His high level of attention to detail is obvious and he put more time and effort on the car he is working on and treated as if it is his own. He explained to me the step by step process including the type of product he used. Prior to bringing my car to his shop, I did a little research and read the review on yelp and found out all 5 stars. I went to his shop to check it out in person and saw several high end cars and I knew it is the right place to be to entrust my car. I don't get anything from marketing his business but I just want to share it to people who are car enthusiasts and who are looking for a subject matter expert for paint protection film and nano ceramic protection. I strongly suggest you bring your car to Adonis detail. It is worth it! His shop doesn't have the hype as much compare to other paint protection installers in San Diego County or Orange County but I tell you, Adonis Detail is exceptional! I promise your car would be in good hands and you'll be amazed with the results. read more

I was looking for a place to detail my new to me pre-owned car and also get windows tinted. Many were in San Diego and then I found Tim at Adonis detailing here in Vista. I saw the kinds of cars and reviews he gets and was impressed. I also saw his postings on an auto forum I subscribe to. I called Tim and made the appointment. He was great about taking my car at a time that was convenient to my schedule. He recommended detail services as well as some tint options. I was very pleased with the paint detail. I discussed tint options with Tim and chose the Photosync 45 and have been very pleased. The installation is perfect. All the cars I saw in the shop while I was there were very hi-end cars. read more

Tim is truly a professional when it comes to the art of detailing. I didn't hesitate having Tim give my car a full paint correction because I knew the other professionals he had worked with. His attention to detail and level of knowledge is simply amazing. My M3 came out looking better than ever and was worth every penny. Don't waste your money at the many "detail" places in San Diego. If you want a proper detail go to Adonis detail. read more

I found Tim and Adonis Detail through the Tesla forums. Tim was very patient and walked me through various options to protect the car. He did an amazing job and made it incredibly easy for me to have the service completed. read more

Tim coated my McLaren with Modesta and used Clear Guard Nano SR for the front end to protect against rock chips. He did an amazing job. No seems are visible at all, and the CGN looks like nothing is there. He is as much a perfectionist as I am. The paint really shines in the sun, and I am very happy. He works out of his own home and is willing to give rides to his local customers which really helps. His pricing was very reasonable compared to other shops in the area. I highly recommend. read more

I recently purchased a new car and wanted to bring it to the best detailer around to remove the defects, scratches, and marring in the paint due to the shipping process. After reviewing nearly every detailer in the SOCAL area I came across Tim at Adonis Detail. From the very beginning Tim was a professional; he thoroughly inspecting the car to determine the work necessary to correct the paint and providing an accurate and detailed quote. I was so impressed with Tim that I gave him my business and was nothing but impressed with the results. The minor defects in the paint were removed and the car was coated with a high performance nao-coating that not only protects the paint but make washing an ease. The end result is that the car looked better than brand new and that was due to the work performed by Tim. The point of all this is that if you need a detailer in the SOCAL area, go with Tim, you'll be glad you did. read more
