Avoid APC Auto Spa at All Costs We hired APC Auto Spa (Monroe location) for ceramic coating, paint protection film, and window tinting, and the experience was an absolute disaster. The work was so poorly done that we had to pay another shop over $4,600 to completely remove and redo everything just to fix the damage. The other shop had their entire team inspect the truck and unanimously agreed it was the worst work they had ever seen. Everyone who saw it in person said the same. Since having the work redone by true professionals, we've had zero issues. You can get one inch away and it's flawless. APC claims they offered a refund or to reinstall the film--but what they actually offered was to remove and redo it themselves. After multiple failed attempts and having to bring the truck back again and again, we had no confidence they could fix it and didn't trust them not to make it worse. They also claim the court "ruled in their favor." In reality, the case was dismissed because of a buried arbitration clause in their terms and conditions--not because the work was acceptable. APC kept our money, and we had to pay again to have the job done correctly elsewhere. Heather, the owner, was dishonest, rude, and completely unaccountable. She lied in court, twisted the truth at every opportunity, and made a terrible situation worse at every turn. Rather than owning the mistakes, she deflected blame, denied what was obvious, and hid behind fine print to avoid responsibility. The photos we posted weren't taken "during removal" as they now claim--we have identical photos taken in our driveway right after APC said the job was complete. They also try to justify their quality with a clause that states the work only needs to "look good from six feet away." That is actually written in their terms. If that's the standard they stand behind, it speaks for itself. This was the worst customer experience we've ever had. APC Auto Spa delivered unacceptable results, refused to make it right, and kept our money. Avoid this business at all costs. read more

I'd probably avoid this place. I gave them a chance last year on a new Pathfinder. I wanted the windows tinted evenly and they put 25% on it. When I showed up, I talked to him about it. I said ' that's not what I was asking for, but I took the car, drove away and it was fine and then I bought another one. I bought a Toyota Tacoma and I was very adamant about telling them we need to make this one better than the Pathfinder and it needs to be probably 15% to match the rears he ignored what I said and put 25% on it anyway after he was done, I went back into the shop and I showed him that's not what I asked for and it was very different than the back and he kind of pushed back on me saying the back is 22% or whatever he was saying but visually it's very different so then I called to ask how much to get it removed and put 15% back on. They said they'd remove it for free but I have to pay for the retint so basically ignored what I asked, put what he felt was necessary on my car and then wants to charge me to do it the way I want it done. It's really too bad as I buy a minimum of 2 cars a year and this likely costed them some repeat business. read more

Heather and her team at APC Auto Spa are absolutely wonderful! The level of service is second to none and from the moment you walk in, you feel appreciated and welcome. They offer a wide range of services to fit your needs and budget and will work with you to go over every little detail to ensure your satisfaction. They recently tinted my two front door windows and it took about an hour total. They look amazing and match the rest of the factory tint on the back windows of my Jeep Grand Cherokee perfectly. Whether you are looking for a full ceramic coating, protective film application, window tint, or an old fashioned detail, APC Auto Spa is the place to go! read more

I could have done what they did at the gas station for $1. The moment I got in they casually mentioned that they could not do everything they said they could that was listed on their site and had me sign something to say that I didn't mind. At first I thought this was okay because I thought it was just going to be minor things they didn't get to, but all they did was a quick vacuum of half the car. They didn't get to the trunk or wiping anything down and it was $60 for what they did. The price could have been worse but it was by no means worth it. It may be a different story if you give them a few hundred dollars for a better package but I will never find out. Edit - I spoke with the team and unfortunately did not get anything resolved. To be fair, they exclaimed that the $60 only covered a floor vacuum and if I had expectations of anything more than a quick vacuum I would need to pay about $100 more. I am sure their better services do a good job but I would still not recommend their $60 touch up. read more

The "event" started when I met Colin at 8:30am. He was polite, professional and respectful. What a way to start my day. We were there for the Gold Ceramic Pro treatment on our "new to us" 2007 Corvette Convertible. It was in good shape for a 2007 but we never dreamed it would look new again. We picked up our beauty at 5:00pm. Met Colin's partner and fell in love with that gorgious Monterey Red Corvette all over again. read more

Recently had a full interior/exterior service done on my Toyota Tacoma. My 9 year old paint was in need of correction. I opted for the extra 2 hours of stage 2 correction on top of the package I purchased. Appreciate being contacted before the extra time was spent on my truck. Very glad to not have a "surprise" extra charge. Only two negatives were the rear window still had some grime on it, and the headliner was missed. read more

We made an appointment online (with confirmation) but it was changed the night before, which caused a return trip and additional waiting for their loaner. They had no record of schedule change and weren't interested in investigating any issue. As far as quality of work, what they did do was top quality. I guess I didn't read fine print but for $373 they don't wash the car, they don't touch any of the compartments- armrest, glove ; we have four compartments. Apparently inside windows are also not included. This is a 'premium' service (at least in price) so you expect above and beyond, but these guys are more below and minimum. Disappointing. read more

I have had 3 cars done by APC auto spa and every single PPF and ceramic install has been flawless. All cars still look good till this day. They provide loaners and have a nice waiting area. Staff is also very friendly and they provide updates and photos/videos of your car if you want. read more

Heather from this retailer is a scammer! I purchased a product online and they did not fill the order because I was not an authorized retailer and refused to refund my purchase. They are thieves! And then she sent me an email ridiculing me for missing the fine print stating the item is nonrefundable and they weren't going to fill the order. This is not an honest business. I will never order any product from them or have any service with them if this is the way they conduct business. read more

Simply the best! I brought my car back for a minor concern and they went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you APC team and heather for taking care of my concern. If you are on the edge of deciding a new detail shop pick this one! It will be worth it! They have good customer service and will make your car look the way it should. I be coming back here when I have some money saved up for the gold ceramic pro package :) read more

They barely cleaned our car. When we arrived they said they can only do so much in the amount of time they were still open, but that was the time our reservation was for. The first time I got a detailing they didn't fill the windshield wiper fluid which was supposed to be included and i had to come back to get it filled. read more

Got a brand new car last year so decided to get the ceramic wrap both inside and out including my tires as well as paint protection. Price is definitely good and they get it done pretty efficiently. However, I have not received and type of complementary follow up like some other places do. I am unsure if I missed out or something.. Anyways the car looks shiny and new even in the rain and going strong almost a year! read more

Almost Perfect. I have had 3 cars done by APC Auto Spa: a Lincoln Continental, a Porsche Boxster and this time my Mercedes E350. They do an outstanding job of detailed cleaning. They went above and beyond by reattaching a loose spoiler and chrome lettering. They even cleaned the interior. However, I was disappointed with the exterior surface decontamination. I brought the car back hoping to have it addressed but was surprised to be told they couldn't even feel the remaining contamination. I could see there was no point in arguing so I didn't try and left in bit of a huff, for which I apologize. I went home and spent an hour with a Chemical Guys OG clay bar and Chemical guys lubricant, then added a polymer sealant. Now it's perfect. APC didn't do a bad job, they almost got it perfect. I recommend them and plan to come back. read more

I took my 2012 Lexus IS to APC Auto Spa. I spend most of my time in Woodinville, I heard APC was highly rated. I now see why! INCREDIBLE!!!   I did a complete detail. They paid attention to details, went above and beyond. I knew there would be somethings that they wouldn't be able to clean up. But they exceed my expectations upon arrival. The car looks incredible, inside, outside engine bay. I can't thank, the APC crew enough for making it look like new again.   I HIGHLY recommend, anybody that's looking for auto detailing, stop bye or give APC a call. You won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely perfect! My Z06 looks so shiny and they did the ceramic in just a day. https://youtube.com/shorts/cLQL3aoocVQ

Jay and the team at APC have made a customer for life. They were able to take my Jet Black 2020 Sierra and get some nasty car wash scratches corrected. They need some extra time to work on the truck and went above and beyond by not charging for the overages. I am happy with the job that they did and will be coming back for any additional detail needs in the future. I highly recommend APC! read more

The only place to go for a wash and detail. Stand up people who work and own the place. I don't like leaving my car overnight but I can always trust these guys. They always take care of my clients vehicles as well. Timely and clean and always on top of everything. read more

I asked APC for an exterior detail with the most bang for my buck without breaking the bank. The team there did not disappoint! They made my black 2011 Toyota Sequoia look GREAT again! It had been a long time since the exterior had any TLC and APC got it all caught up. The paint ended up smooth and so very shiny. Great communication throughout the detail with phone calls and text messages keeping me updated on the status and finish time. When we picked up the car we found that they cleaned the interior as well and put all of our belongings in a nifty APC canvas bag. Thank you!! We will be return customers for sure and I am telling all of my friends and co-workers to bring their cars to APC. read more

This place is fantastic! Both Scotty and crazy Seth are some of the best people to have working in this business! I dig the owners and partners in this company! The waiting room is decked out! They thought of everything! Charging station for your phone, wifi and huge TV to watch plus Xbox as well all at your disposal. Even the chairs felt comfortable and awesome! Place even smelled good!!!! The atmosphere is exactly what you want, they are NOT elitists and pretend to be something they are not! They are all great people and very professional! I couldn't recommend this place enough! I will be coming back here over and over again, you should give them a try as well. Also big shout out to my detailer Jay S! You are fanatic man! You treated my rig right you have genius level hands man! Thank you!!!! read more

I purchased a Toyota Tundra Rock Warrior in 2011 and I did not garage it. The paint was severely oxidized. I took it into APC Auto Spa for the Ceramic Pro Gold package and Ceramic Pro Interior. The outcome is astonishing; the oxidization is gone, and the truck looks 11 years younger! I highly recommend APC Auto Spa, for the quality of work, their knowledge, and customer service. The staff kept me apprised and informed on how the truck was doing throughout the process. Paul was the technician and his care and expertise on paint and the product used were awesome. read more

UPDATE: APC gave me a full refund for the services, so I will consider them for my detailing needs in the future. I just had my boyfriend's car detailed as a surprise for our anniversary, and I have to say that I am extremely DISAPPOINTED with the results. I got the APC wash, which includes a "light vacuum" and interior wipe-down. When I requested the appointment over a week ago, I made sure to ask for pet hair removal and they told me it would be $100/hour, which I said was fine. I even called yesterday to confirm my appointment and that my service would include pet hair removal But when I got to APC today, they said they wouldn't have time for pet hair removal but the vacuuming "should get most of it." They also informed me that the trunk would not be touched, as it was not part of the basic wash. Long story short, I went straight from this place to a nearby car wash and vacuumed the car myself. I was able to get a LOT more pet hair out with the car wash vacuum, which makes me question how much they really tried at APC. They also didn't remove the pet hair guard that was over the backseat to vacuum the seats underneath, so I had to do that myself too. The cup holders were still filled with crumbs (that I vacuumed out at the car wash), and I even found some Cheezits underneath the passenger seat that APC apparently ignored. I'm also gonna have to redo the interior wipe-down, because there are still crumbs and dirt particles in all the interior storage areas. When I was checking out, the man at the front offered me a 5% discount if I left a quick Yelp review. I declined, but that really makes me wonder if some of the other reviews on here are genuine... Overall, I would NOT recommend APC Auto Spa for your detailing needs. I paid over $80 for a job I could have easily done better myself. read more

Been coming here since I bought my car March 2021 and the whole team is simply amazing! I told myself when I got a new car I would start washing it myself again because my old car I would just run through the car wash. But after coming here my first time I've legit haven't had to lay a hand on my car to clean. I come here twice a month for life now! 10/10 5-Stars and honestly 10 stars if Yelp had it! I live all the way in Renton too and this place is an hour drive for me but I'm telling you it's worth every minute of my commute! Never going anywhere else for my car detailing. read more

This review is for the placement of ceramic pro on my 2014 black Nissan GTR. The paint on the GTR is extremely soft. After searching the net for a product to protect the paint, I came across ceramic pro on a car forum. After hearing positive reviews for the product, and after hearing that these guys have done multiple... and I mean MANY GTR's, I got in touch with Seth and scheduled application. Seth put Lance his lead detailer on the job. I had some imperfections in the paint buffed out by a local body shop and there were some significant swirls in the paint. Lance was able to work ALL of the swirls out. The finished product is amazing. The jet black pearl paint pops like never before. The hydrophobic properties are incredible. The GTR no longer looks like shit after driving in the rain. I don't post many reviews on Yelp. Seth and Lance are standup guys with a solid product and deserve recognition for their efforts. HIGHLY recommended. read more

These guys do incredible work! We had 2-3 years worth of toddler crumbs and stickiness in the back seats of our SUV and after 4 hours in their hands, it came out looking like it did when we bought it new. They managed to get into every little crevice and dig out years worth of nastiness. Their prices were reasonable (after looking at how dirty our car was they quoted me a price that included extra hours to get it completely done, but they finished early so I ended up paying less than their original quote), and the waiting area is really nice--I was able to bring my laptop and chill out on a reclining sofa where they also had chargers, an Xbox, and coffee. I regret not trying the blueberry shortcake K-Cup while I was there... maybe I should take my other car to them so I have an excuse. read more

Their work is amazing and customer service is top notch. Spoke with Brandon on the phone while scheduling my appointment. He was very knowledgeable and patiently answered every question and helped me understand the process and everything that I would be paying for so I'd get nothing less than a superior experience. I got the interior detail, 2 hours of deep clean, and exterior wash, and my car left there looking and smelling brand new after years of neglect. Thanks APC!! read more

Brought my 2005 CTSV in for a long needed cleaning. The team was personal and professional, I explored my options and we settled on a package that would work for my budget. They didnt try to oversell me and was able to get me what I wanted. The end result was as I expected and the quality of the work was amazing. This car still needs a lot more work but its a great start. read more

Me and my friends had three cars tinted today at APC. ( I had my other car tinted before) I live in Woodinville and found this place on yelp with 5 star review! They totally deserve it! They not only do the best work on tinting and wash, they have also got coating etc. another thing is their customer service. Seth replies on yelp all the time and the fastest and well. I had my cell phone left in he loaner car after they closed. I contacted Seth and got a immediate respond after their working time! He was going to drive 25 minutes to APC help me pick my phone. After I arrived, Brandon actually waited there for 90 minutes just for me to get back, he knew this is urgent. I have to say they deserve this 5 star review! Anyone should come to APC for your car! read more

APC Auto Spa offers a truly exceptional experience to their customers. I was treated so well, and guided through the entire process start to finish. While my car was being worked on I was given daily status updates and even 'in progress' photos. They even special ordered a sample of one of the products I wanted to use and had it shipped directly to me so that I could see it in person. What service! Best of all, when my project was done they even charged me less than my original quote as they were able to save a bit of time on several aspects of my project. I could not be any happier with them, and I am proud and happy to recommend them to everyone! Tremendous communication and stand out service that deserves to be celebrated. Bravo! read more

This is a fantastic place to get your car/truck cleaned. The people at the front desk are incredibly helpful and patient. And you just talk to them over the phone - several places I called wanted me to bring the car in so they could give me a price estimate and then bring it back again for the car wash. Seriously, I don't have time to do that! APC talked with me over the phone, came up with a price and scheduled an appointment. Easy. The job they did was the best ever! They were done on time and it felt like I was driving a new car. read more

During last rain storm my wife was in a rush and while carrying some items into the office accidently hit the "cool off" button the car remote and opened all windows and sunroof. When she came back out to car approx 1.5 hours of rain had been falling on seats, carpet, center console, etc in her new Honda CR-V. She was distraught over the incident. APC to the rescue! I called APC and explained what happened. They got me in the next day and a full detail later my wife actually thought i had bought her a new car. No windows fogging from the moisture, the leather and carpet looked and felt like we drove it off the lot. This is the only place to get your car detailed and is worth every penny. Thank you APC! read more

I am happy with my car detailing service and their hospitality. They are really good in answering questions and explaining their options in cleaning services they offer. Overall my experience with APC Auto SPA is excellent read more

I took a month to write this review as I really wanted to see if the shine would hold. I got ceramic pro on my BMW from APC auto spa. I setup the appointment and the got a nice discount due to Microsoft from them :) They were very courteous and finished the work on time. Its been more than a month since their wash, and I washed the car myself today. It was unbelievable, the beading is perfect. I just hope it lasts 5 years as they claim :) . Its so much easier to clean the car with this coating. I would recommend APC auto spa to anyone looking to keep their prized possessions shiny and clean. read more

I reached out to APC Auto Spa via Yelp's messaging on a Thursday, requesting an emergency detail for a show Sunday. Though their online booking program said they were full, Seth was able to fit me in for a spot the very next day. Communication throughout the whole process was great, Seth was very thorough in describing what he'd be doing during the walk-around, and also attentive to my car's particular needs (he recommended shampooing over a steamer for the 33-year old fabric on the seats, which I appreciated). He ended up working far into the night on it, and was in touch about when would be best to pick my car up on Saturday. And holy cow, I was blown away when he showed it to me. My car was in great condition for her age, but APC made it look better than I thought possible. I could go on all day about every part of the car and how immaculate they made it look, but what really spoke for their work were the 1,000+ viewers at the show the next day - every single person who looked at it expressed a level of awe with how clean she was. She ended up winning a show award that I may well have not won without their help. Top to bottom, these guys are knowledgeable, skilled professionals who care about the work they do, and it shows. I'd recommend them without hesitation, and will definitely be back. read more

I took my truck to APC Autospa for their Ceramic Pro Silver treatment and not only was a blown away by how good my car looked afterwards (they even cleaned the interior) but I was also blown away by their service. From drop off to pick up every employee I worked with was informative and helpful. Do you and your car a favor and go see these guys. read more

What can I say about APC Auto Spa. I have worked in the automotive industry for ten year and they are far and above any other shops in the country. Their attention to detail goes above and beyond what would ever be expected. My latest reason for needing their help was replacement of a clear bra that was done horribly on my 2015 Maserati Ghibli. They took the time to walk me through every bite that they thought was necessary to make the car the most protected. Even if I didn't live locally I would still have my vehicles services here. Thank you all for high quality work! read more

I thought my 2007 Volvo S60R paint was nearly flawless, shiny for being a "Black Sapphire Metallic" in color. After talking with Lance, the "Master Detailer" in charge of my baby, he said "I think you'll be in for a nice surprise when I'm done." He wasn't kidding. When I saw my car for the first time after going through their process I couldn't believe my eyes. The paint looks so rich, the sapphire metallic jumps out... WOW! I think it looks better than new paint! What a night and day difference, and I thought my car was nearly perfect before. The folks at Advanced Protective Coatings are second none in customer service! I will recommend these folks to everyone I come in contact with. No more waxing before car shows and events! I can hardly wait to wash my baby for the first time and see how the water falls off... Nothing but the best for my car and I found it with Ceramic Pro and Advance protective Coatings... Todd read more

This is the only place that I recommend for your auto detailing needs. The pricing is competitive, turn around time is fast, and it's the best customer experience I have found in the Greater Seattle Area. As someone who is not an detailing expert it's refreshing to work with Brandon and Jay who are not only obsessed with the smaller details to make your car look perfect but also super knowledgeable on their products/services/post care! read more
