Excellent result, good price for what I needed and wanted, didn't try to upsell like so many others, very upfront and honest. These photos are already 3 years old and the car still looks great. The ceramic seal definitely keeps the pain looking fresh and new, protected from bird and insect droppings (still a good idea to wipe off quickly). read more

Based on reviews and a referral I took my dual motor Tesla model 3 to Apollo Auto and had a great experience. I got the ceramic pro package with ceramic pro wheels. Sean was super friendly and knowledgeable and walked me through the whole process and different options. As an extra feature, Sean and his team painted my brake calibers 'Brembo red' for a flash of color - they turned out awesome and my car overall looks sporty and super clean. Thanks Sean and team for a great result and pleasant experience! read more

the best car detailing service in the bay area. I have been a customer for over 10 years and my 2006 BMW Z 4 is shown in all the local car shows. You won't believe what amazing results you will get from this amazing service! read more

I highly recommend using Apollo Spa for your detailing. Sean was highly knowledgeable and his detail to work went above and beyond. He was very responsive and was able to fit into my schedule. His pricing was competitive to others, and I believe you will get a more personal touch if you go to Apollo. The attached photos are two weeks into finishing the ceramic coating and I must admit driving around it looks great. read more

To Whom It May Concern, I went to a few detailers that wouldn't touch the hood of this car. I thought I was at the point of a respray so I left it unaddressed for about a year. Recently came back on yelp and found Apollo Auto Spa and I was told to bring it in to evaluate it and with no question they told me they could bring it back. Frankly I was skeptical. I attached some pictures and you can judge for yourself on a 17 year old car. I would recommend them and will be bringing my other cars in the future. Thanks Rich read more

He does good work and is very responsive. I had a deep scratch on my car and Sean patched it up. Let me know what to expect, in terms of end result, and it was beyond what I was hoping. Great guy, super knowledgeable, trustworthy, and funny. read more

I got my Tesla Model X coated with Ceramic Pro gold from Sean at Apollo Restoration and Protection, and also had my wheels powder coated. Sean also painted my calipers. The car looks amazing. This was my first time working with him and I will be bringing my other cars to him soon. From my experience, Sean does not compromise on the quality of workmanship. Highly recommended. read more

Apollo Auto Spa - Model X coated with Ceramic Pro Gold package, standard wheels were powder coated black, and then coated with 9H to get the "satin" effect. - Auto Detailing Near Me

Went here for the first time solely on the rave reviews I read on yelp. I ended up getting a ceramic coat on my car and here are the points I wanted to make about my experience. 1) Sean is extremely friendly approachable. He is clearly very passionate about his profession; this is obvious when you talk to him. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge and doesn't hesitate to share when you ask 2) The price he quoted me for the job was very reasonable and I had asked around the east bay as well as the sacramento area....actually more than reasonable considering the quality of the job. 3) He was very honest about the process. Didn't try to up sell me. Found the appropriate/perfect level of protection I needed for my car based on my ownership and usage. Ive already recommended him to a few of my friends. read more

Sean has helped us in the past to restore the finish and ceramic coat a problem-child low-mileage Honda Prelude SH and also ceramic coating a new Volkswagen Golf R; both vehicles were perfect after spending time at the spa. Sean has the skills and also the shear tenacity to figure out any problem; probably the best shop in the Bay Area! Looking at CS-II Titanium for future projects/work. read more

I recently purchased a 2016 Porsche Panamera 4S from a local dealership. After inspecting the car I noticed that there were a ton of swirls and scratches in the black paint and a few dings/dents. I reached out to a few local detailers and the only one who responded, same day even, was Sean at Apollo. I drive car over to his shop and he spent quite a bit of time explaining what he would do and how much time was involved. I could tell he was passionate about his work and delivering quality results. I agreed to have him do a CS II Titanium package and also arrange to have dents removed. I just picked up car last week and results blew me away! Scratches and swirls were gone, dents removed and the ceramic coating made the paint look incredible. Highly recommend Sean and Apollo. read more

You cannot bully someone to take down the review. And you cannot share someone's personal information like their phone number in reviews and replies. If you think you can scare me by using this method, you are wrong. I will be contacting Yelp and telling them that you shared my personal information publically. Please do not try to contact me again. No one forced me to do anything. For those looking to deal with you, I hope they see your comment before deciding to do business with you. read more

Brought my wife's ride in for Ceramic Pro coating. As expected, the results were fantastic. Sean was able to spot new car "blemishes" and remove all defects. The car looks better than new! Thanks again!!! read more

Sean is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous when it comes to his work. He ceramic coated my GR Supra and did the installation work for my carbon fiber spoiler/door garnishes. Absolutely superb job. I very much appreciate the care that he put in and took the time to explain to me the process after the work was completed. Pictures below! read more

I got a CS-II Titanium (Gold package) on my black Model Y. Sean's attention to detail and knowledge of his business is unparalleled. He went above and beyond to ensure my Tesla looked spectacular, despite multiple defects in the new car's finish after purchasing. Not only was the output flawless, but he cares about your car as if it's his, and I have complete confidence in the ability to return if any defects in craftsmanship over time and he'll fix hassle free (not that I expect any). I can't recommend him enough, and would recommend to do this with a Tesla or any vehicle in the future. I certainly will. read more

Sean has been awesome to work with and he worked miracles cleaning up the paint of my brand MB...if it wasn't for him I would have been a sad customer in a few months when all of the dealer coverups wore off. He had the car looking better than new and then put on a Ceramic Pro Gold Package and he's been incredibly responsive to all of my new car owner obsessive questions about maintenance :) He's a true pro and an easy selection for whatever detail or protection work you need. read more

I took in my new Subaru Crosstrek to Sean to restore the paint by removing the swirl marks. Sean took the time to explain the process and all the ceramic pro packages he offered. I got the opportunity to see firsthand some of the cars he was currently working on. I went with the Ceramic Pro Sport Package because it was within my budget. If I could afford more I would have gone with the Gold package. They did a great job on my car. In fact as they took it out of the garage he noticed minor imperfections I wouldn't have noticed. He went at it to take care of them. I think others would have just let me drive off. I could tell he takes pride in his work. My car looks great. The entire experience was positive. On my way home it rained. I didn't have to use my wipers on the freeway. The rain just beaded right off. Midway home it stopped raining. When I parked the car I noticed that it wasn't wet at all. The Ceramic Pro Sport Package Protection worked. I recommend you trust him with your car. At the very least you should have him take care of all your windows with the protective coat as I will on my second car. I saw firsthand when I took it home in the rain. Without using my wipers I had clear visibility of the entire highway. It's important to point out that in the few years that I've been on Yelp I've only reviewed three companies. Two very positive and one negative. I feel that it is important to give praise when it's due and warn others if it will help. read more

This is a late review. First time i ever spent that much on a car for extra things for it. BUT the Ceramic coating is AWESOME!! The owner, Sean, is a professional. He explained what is going to be done and how long it will take to complete. Answering dumb questions like a pro. He went as far to mount an accessory on my car. After a few months later, he responded to emails about issues what I thought were problems. He was happy to answer my concerns. read more

Asked Sean to add opticoat to three cars - 2014 Maserati GT, 2014 Porsche Carrera 4 and a Honda S2000. Sean spent over five days across all three cars and each came out beautiful. While the service wasn't inexpensive it was completely worth it as Sean was a true professional, pointing out flaws, swirls and chips which he fixed perfectly. Sean was also great providing referrals for adding clear bras to he maserati and Porsche. I couldn't refer a better auto detailer with tremendous knowledge of the cars he works on or someone more flexible in providing service on weekends. read more

Let me add to the glowing reviews. Three years; 86K miles; two years driving 4-5 kids in carpool; three years hauling dogs; multiple road trips to beaches, mountains, hiking trails, vineyards, dog shows and stables. My weekly hose-offs and vaccuums were not cutting it anymore. My car also had a dozen or so chips and scuffs from other cars, shopping carts, doors, etc. Sean spent nine hours working on it yesterday, which gives you an idea of the grime, as well as his level of detail. He retouched out the chips so well that I couldn't find them later. My car looks phenomenal. When he finished, Sean talked me through how to clean my car, which was simpler than I had assumed, and easier than what I had been doing. He also told me I could email or call him with questions about which products to use, or how to use them. Very professional and highly recommended. read more

I recently purchased a 2015 Acura TLX and wanted to ensure that a good foundation for excellent automobile care was laid down. Based on the glowing reviews here on Yelp, I reached out to Sean, owner of Apollo Auto Detailing, about what my options were for protecting my TLX. I think referring to Sean as a "detailer" almost seems unbefitting his skill level. More so an artisan, an auto enthusiast and auto-care craftsman. From the moment I reached out to him, he was engaging and was able to give me a clear understanding of what protectants are being used today. I elected to go with Opti Coat Pro ceramic clear coat as I felt this was the best option for protecting my vehicle long term. Sean was able to correct a few problems (yes, new cars have paint problems like minor scuffs) with the TLX. When it comes to cars, he's got the eyes of a hawk for evaluating paint. It was kind of funny as he showed me these minor defects and I strained to see them through my bifocals! Hehe. He doesn't miss a thing. He's also very willing to go over how to care for your car. His website has a wealth of information and links to products. His professionalism and extreme attention to detail are simply superb. If you want someone who genuinely wants your vehicle to look the best that it possibly can, whether it's a Lamborghini, an Acura or Chevy, a daily driver or a car you roll out a few times a year, look no further; this is the man you need to hire. read more

Apollo recently completed a Ceramic Pro coat on my Tesla Model S. We had some issues with the paint due to the HOV decals but Sean took ownership and had the bumper repaired. The car looks absolutely amazing. Highly recommend apollo for their attention to detail and quality of work. read more

i contacted Sean regarding detailing my 2007 black Tahoe and removing some quite noticeable scratches i had after living in SF for 5 years. I dropped my Tahoe off on a Sunday and left it with Sean over night. he mentioned having the extra time would be better for the waxes he uses as he can then let each wax cure for an hour. i also emailed him pictures of all the "problem" areas i had to better give him an idea of what i was looking for. after reviewing the photos i sent... he emailed back a very detailed message regarding each area and what he would be able to do... which helped set expectations on both ends right from the start. upon picking the Tahoe up... the huge key mark i had down my front quarter panel and down the driver door was gone... which was my main concern. Sean was upfront with how long it was going to take by doing a walkthrough of my car with me when i dropped it off. he also spent over two hours on clay barring my Tahoe. the day after it was done... there was a light rain which was not in the forecast. Sean emailed me addressing the rain and when it would be a good time to meet up so he could re-treat the exterior plastic again after it rained... saying the exterior protectants need at least 36 hours without rain to fully set in... this extra treatment would be free of charge. him offering to do this blew my mind... he could have very easily moved on to something else but instead he went out of his way to contact me to further treat my car. Sean also gave me tips on what to do down the road on keeping my Tahoe clean (i.e. which counties have the best water and which have the harshest). I would recommend his detailing to anyone and plan to use his services for two more cars before the summer is over. Tip: during the summer he is slammed with work so he barely answers his phone... its best to get ahold of him through email as he handles all logistics as well as is the only one doing the detailing work on his clients vehicles. read more

You won't get better - period. Sean is a fastidious, conscientious worker with a real eye for detail. Knows all the little tricks to get your car looking absolutely spot on. He worked a full day on my car and came back next day to finish off, and didn't hit me on the extra hour or so he needed. NICE attitude... as far as I am concerned I'll be calling him up to do the Porsche and the boat before the summer starts... Top man, top effort - a resounding 110%. read more

From the moment I dialed the number to inquire about having my car cleaned and detailed for sale, Sean has been a consummate professional. His attention to detail blows me away. The car looks like a whole different car!! He finished the car with CS-II Titanium. I do need to sell it but I almost don't want to because it looks so good now! I will definitely come back here whenever I need detailing work done. read more

I will be trading my two cars this week to pare down to just one new one. I looked on line and it was recommended that I get the car 'ready' to trade in and among the ready items was a good cleaning or detail. I found Sean on the Craigslist then Yelped him. Based on the reviews I called him. This is where it gets good. Sean came out on his Sunday early and rather than a lot of haggle we settled on a fair price for both cars. It was after sun down (10+ hours) before he finished. I own my business and can't tell you how much it is appreciated that a worker works until THEY say the job is done. Even if it goes into extra hours. Once Sean was satisfied he and I inspected the job. In a word "Excellent". Both cars are show room condition as they were 10 years ago. Do I recommend him? You bet - 100% Will I use him again? Did I mention I'm getting a new car? You bet I'll be calling him again and again. Thanks Sean! Carter Santa Clara read more

WITHOUT A DOUBT the most thorough, impeccable attention to detail, best car detailing I have ever encountered. I've had Sean detail our black Tahoe from when it was a baby. Just when I thought I'd had the best you can get.... he has even improved his technique and performance. All I can say is you ABSOLUTELY will not be displeased with his service. My three year old Tahoe looks better then the day we bought it - and I'm not exaggerating!!! Thanks again Sean for exceeding our expectations..... All my friends want your number!!!! :) read more

I contacted Sean today due to an "emergency." An entire gallon of Round-Up weed killer spilled in the back of my Prius and I was desparate to find someone good to help me. I called from work and Sean helped me right away. He knew the chemical well and gave me instructions that would save me from even more fume build-up until I could see him. I was amazed about how much he knew about this chemical and I felt instantly at ease. He was able to see me the same day and it only took about 45 min. It has only been a few hours since Sean cleaned the back of my car, but the odor is far less and I am sure he minimized damage to my car. He even rubbed out some dings afterward. I will definitely be back to have a full detail done. He gave me such excellent customer service and - I actually took time to write this review. Thanks Sean! read more

Sean is the best at what he does. Very friendly, informative, and skilled guy. I took my Subaru their, and it hasn't looked this good since I bought it brand new. And I'd even say it looks better than when I bought it. I love the ceramic wax they use. It's a wonderful product. I Will definitely be back Sean! Soon because I bought I new Tundra read more

Love my Ceramic Pro Gold package! While my BMW was at Sean's I had him paint my brake calipers and rotor hats black to finish blacking out my 535. Check out the video I made for him on his website: http://www.apolloautodetailing.com/ceramic-pro-2/ read more

I contacted Sean on the recommendations of a custom body shop in the area. Sean came out to look at my 2002 C5 Corvette which is black on black. It has only 26000 miles for a 2002 and was in very good shape - I thought. Sean proceed to carefully and with much care to work on my Corvette. It took 12 hours of polishing and sanding using very fine grit paper to remove all the scratches and swirls in the black finish. As he works it reminds me of an artist lovely applying their talent to a canvas but his canvas is your car. I highly recommend his work and if your are a Corvette owner, you will be very impressed with the care he takes when working on your Corvette. read more

Sean is simply fantastic... He stripped, clayed and then polished & sealed my brand new gloss black car, which has less than 3,000 miles. It's amazing how good it looks. The dealership would be surprised if they saw the car after his work. Absolutely perfect. I'm talking like a glass mirror. Just awesome, what can I say. He's a great guy, reliable, does fantastic work, and is so detail oriented. He even removed my rear plate, ID'ed an area where it was rubbing the body, and padded the area to prevent the scratching from reoccurring. He had the special tools required to remove my screw caps and anti-tamper license plate screws, LOL. His prices are very reasonable, especially considering the level of finesse and detail. To watch him and talk to him, you'd think he owned the car. My coworker, who also just bought a new car (black) wanted his number... read more

Sean detailed a 'new to me' 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan and a 'lets sell this thing' 2000 VW Passat. The minivan very, very dirty from the previous owner and he got the paint and interior (the worst off) in great shape. Melted crayons, coffee stains, all kinds of nasty stuff was ground in the carpeting. He got 10 years of oxidation almost completely removed from my Passat, though he warned me up front that he wouldn't be able to get it all. The first person who saw the car bought it. I'm sure this was due to it looking beautiful. I was very pleased with his work. He worked more hours than he'd quoted, but didn't raise his price. Honest, diligent, great guy. I will use him again. read more

Sean, I thank you for all the great work you did on the Infiniti M45, Toyota 4runner and Mazda. If your looking for a a detail oriented and genuinely hard working guy he is the one. I've been detailing as a hobby for 20 years. Sean has a great ability to get the work done right the first time. With a busy life like most people finding someone who actually knows what he is doing is not always easy. I've recommended Sean with great success to all my friends. All of them very happy to say the least. Please feel free to contact me with any questions in regards to a recommendation. Clint read more

My husband and I were moving out of town and were going to give away my 2000 Honda Civic prior to leaving - the only problem was my car had been well covered in fur from our beloved hound-shepherd mix and needed to be deeply cleaned prior to giving it away. I called Sean based on his Yelp reviews and he did not disappoint! Sean managed to get rid of all the dog hair that had practically become part of the cloth seating. He had also vacuumed and washed the inside of the car so well it was hard to believe this was a 10 year old vehicle and not a brand new one! The same goes for the exterior - he waxed it and put a shine on it I hadn't seen in almost the entire 10 years I've owned it. When we move back to the bay area and need a car detailing again, Sean will definitely be the first person we call! read more

I had posted shop was closed. It is NOT closed. Sean contacted me through Yelp. I appreciate his quick response

I brought my new Tesla to Sean cuz I appreciated the time he took to explain my options and the follow up on my emails because I had a ton of questions. I had my car wrapped and Ceramic Pro coated by Sean. Based on his enthusiasm and knowledge of his product I decided going out of the way to get my paint protected by him was worth the trip. Knowing how lazy I can get keeping my car looking new has been easy so far with the coating. read more

Extremely rude individual this guy charges 700 for detailing I called and he had a very bad attitude do not recommend.
