    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!

    Finished Mazda looks brand new. Amazing!

    My husband and I are a one-car family in our 60's, but for this year, our son has moved to Scotland for school and left his Mazda3 in our care. The car has been living in IV for the past 3 years, while he was attending UCSB. It's probably been washed a couple of times in those years, and maybe vacuumed the same number. The car was trashed. The fabric interior had coffee and God-knows-whatall-else stains all over it. The floor had ancient Starbucks cups, sandy beach towels, stickers, twigs and leaves, coins, and a large volume of random grit, grease, and grime. Really, it was disgusting, in only the way that a 20-something year old guy can conjure. The exterior was equally gnarly. At some point, one of his asshole neighbors had put probably 30 Trump bumper stickers all over his exterior, which my son had torn off immediately. We spent Mother's Day 2 years ago with Goo B Gone and my bread scrapers, scraping Trump sticker residue off the hood, doors, and back hatch of that car. We got it mostly cleaned off, but I told Tye at Ally Detail, that there were likely some glue spots still grabbing grime. The headlights weren't any better. They were cloudy and yellowing. Overall, the car just looked like a trasher car, even though it was in good condition underneath the years of apathy. I booked Tye to pick up the Mazda3 the day after my son left, because I didn't even want to put it in my garage and risk brushing up against it. Communication with Tye was super easy. It started with requesting a quote through Yelp messaging, and then turned into direct text messaging. 100% of our communication was via text and super easy. Tye was extremely clear and responsive. In preparing his estimate, he had me send him pics of the interior and exterior, which I've attached to this review. There was no room for misunderstanding or miscommunication and I felt very clear about the $340 cost and the service that would be provided. Tye came to pick up the car at exactly 8 a.m., the time we had booked. The only thing we discussed that we hadn't already addressed in texts were the yellow, cloudy headlights, which I hadn't noticed earlier. He advised he would restore the headlights for another $40, which I agreed to. Tye texted me a couple of pictures of the car and headlights before he dropped it off, which I've also attached. Others have said it here on Yelp, but they really aren't exaggerating. The car really did look new. Unbelievable! I forwarded those shots to my son in Scotland, who was floored at how great his car looked. The total cost was $380 and he had the car for 6 hours, so the cost was $63.33 per hour and I believe there were at least 2 people working on it. That also doesn't include the pick up and delivery of the car to and from my door. This was a splurge and wasn't something I would do with my own car, but it was worth every cent I spent in getting that filthy car looking brand new again. My husband and I would have spent probably 8-10 hours working on it together. I don't even want to think of all the arguments that would arise from that task. Then, the next day, we wouldn't have been able to get out of bed with our wrecked backs, shoulders, and necks. Thank you, Tye. I hope I don't need you again, but if I do, I will definitely contact you. You checked every box, including taking payment through Venmo. It coudn't have been easier to do business with you. Ally Detail for the big ole Yelp WIN! (Before and after pics included)

    $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.…

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. Saab leather cracks sooner than other brands. My Nissan Pathfinder LE (1998) lasted much longer. I took a video but will get pictures later and upload to phone. I cannot believe the ceiling. 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!

Guillermo won't own up to either. One car is only 4 months old and was being washed for the first time. It ended up with a ding on the trunk, most likely from the end of a hose or something else hard being knocked against it. The other has a large scratch across the passenger door handle, which Guillermo informed me "looks like nails scratches." Even setting aside the damage, the cars simply were not cleaned well. There were spots and smudges all over one car, and an obvious spill on the center console of the other was left untouched. Needless to say, I won't be using him again.
