    Tesla model X ally detail
    Thomas A.

    I used to own a mobile car detailing business in town and I would send all of my clients to Ally Detail when I was busy and after I closed due to my new business. I've never once had anyone have a bad experience and now that I've had them come detail my car personally, I can say for his hand that they do a above and beyond excellent job and I know that I got a very good thing for my buck, worth every penny. I'm very particular about my car and the attention to detail was extremely good and I love the ease of having them come to me to give me a car wash and also being able to take my car in if I am needing a job done ASAP in case they're full, which they sometimes can be. They deserve six stars. 11/10 recommend.

    They did a good job of cleaning the first floor mat but the one underneath is still sticky. Stain visible at bottom of photo

    Had a horchata spill that needed to be cleaned. Quoted me $180 for an interior cleaning and got me in next day. The job took two hours and when I got my car back the smell has lessened but is still there. A stain and horchata residue remains and is visible. They did really good on the knobs/dash/wheel/cupholders and other parts of the car. The worker I interacted with was very friendly and nice so 3 stars for that, but the main reason why I went to get it detailed is to clean up the spill. I lift up my mats and it's still sticky underneath. The car did come back to me better than before but it wasn't a complete job. I give it a 3-3.5/5

    So many good things to say about this place that I don't really know where to begin. The responded quickly to my inquiry about how to get this mildew/mold smell out of my car after we had some rain. He told me to bring it by the same night if I was free so I didn't need to make an appointment or anything for the consult. They took a look (or rather a smell) and immediately told me what the issue is and what they'd do to treat it as well as a quote shortly after. I came back a few days to drop the car off and within 2.5 hours they'd done an enzyme treatment and used an ozone machine for the mold, pinpointed its location, as well as explained how the water got in/where the leak was so that I could take it to a body shop for them to fix. On top of that I got an overdue basic interior and exterior detail/wash all in the aforementioned time! Quick, professional, stellar work, and they have an amazing lounge with a super friendly dog named Frisbee, a big screen TV with all the sports and streaming services, a kitchen, and plenty of comfy seating and surfaces for work/study if you decide to wait there. 10000000% I'll be back. Thanks Tye, Joel, and the rest of the crew! I'll be posting this on their Google page as well!

    Good morning- How much to have clay bar and exterior wash/detailing and basic interior? Also how long would I need to expect for services to be completed on black Honda Accord? Thank you

    $160, if you claybar, you have to wax to seal up the paint again. With the information above, a good interior is provided as well. It would take about 1.5 hours to 2 hours max.…

Make model and year of car, lots of specifics on the exact detailing needs... I specified full interior detail with no need to shampoo carpets and full exterior detail including a complete wax. Two quotes were $120, EDC quoted $50-$85. I was very concerned that he misunderstood my expectations. Louis was responsive, quickly messaged back and forth and came up with a date and time. There was some minor confusion about the time but I think it was probably his first time utilizing Yelp for setting up a detail too. He came equipped with a pickup that is full of water, power washers, buffers, step stools and every tool you could expect s car detail expert to use. He did absolutely everything that I requested and honestly I am a Detailer's nightmare as my expectations are extremely high. The detail start to finish was very fast, a little under three hours, but not at the expense of the quality of the job. I didn't ask him his final price as the detail was well well beyond my expectations based on his quote. I'm sure he would have stayed within his $50-$85 amount but he ended up with a bit more. Uncharacteristic for my Scottish upbringing.

I hadn't had a detail in a decade and it was just filthy inside and out. It's a NEW car, minus the dent I need to have vacuumed or sucked out and the driver's seat.

Like no one ever smoked! It's shiny, shiny, shiny. They did the interior and exterior, plus engine. Elite detailing isn't cheap but if , like me, you paid cash for your used car and have no payments, who cares? It's like a couple months car payment or so. Do yourself a favor and call for a quote. The website has no prices but they also do ceramic coating, with several tiers of packages. You can do a mini-detail or just regular car wash but if you leave the car with them for a day, they will give you a NEW CAR back at the day's end. I'm still on Cloud 9. Floating!

He's iconically earnest and perfectly cantankerous about getting you the best hardware and/or service he knows of. And he knows everything. He has the tall trophies, broken bones, and big belt buckles from literally decades of rodeos. When I first started working with him about 10+ years ago, I couldn't quite tell if he was the real deal or not. It felt a little like I'd stepped back in time or something. But he came through so many times with texting support on weekends when I was trying to watch a football game on DirecTV. Or if was something to do with the high-end car stereo he'd installed, he'd say, "bring it in around 10am when we're a little slower and we'll check it out right away." Alan has stood behind every product or service he's ever sold me. We all know how rare that kind of integrity is in our world. His shop may not look "glamorous" for those used to shopping in Apple stores, but he's not selling image. He's selling and installing the best car stereos on the market. Brands and systems that are almost always better than what Toyota, Lexus, or Mercedes Benz installed in your brand-new car. My wife's new Toyota, with all the bells and whistles that Toyota throws at their "Limited" lines, still doesn't have Apple CarPlay that connects wirelessly like the one Alan installed in my 6-year-old RAV. I do not believe there is truly anyone else (in SB county!) who could possibly know as much--much less "more"--about this world than Alan Gold.
