    Dodge Ram truck
    Joe R.

    Christian and his assistant did an awesome job on my dodge ram. Beautiful inside and out and there were some stubborn areas in the chrome wheels and plastic trim. Highly recommended!

    Got rid of most of the paint! Which couldn't have been easy

    They did a stellar job and the car that used to be full of dog hair and paint. Blew me away

    Very friendly, had a good experience and they did a thorough job with both cars. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for mobile detailing

    Highly recommend Christian and his mobile detailing service. I was preparing my car to sell and needed to get some stubborn, stains and sand out of the interior and get the exterior shining. He did an extremely thorough job doing a full detail and my car looks spotless. He was on time, and courteous communicative. I can't recommend him enough.

    My husbands response when he got in his truck right after!

    Having Christian clean our truck was such a great and easy experience. He was extremely professional, able to get me in quickly, and did an incredible job. We did a full detail, and he even spent an extra 30 minutes making sure he got the dog hair and sand out of the vehicle. Definitely will use him again and would recommend to all my friends! Incredible value for an incredible price!

    I am so impressed with the service I received from Christian at Bo Bax detailing. He came right to me and was super professional, timely and courteous. He did an amazing job with my 2009 Honda Civic and made her look brand new as I'm trying to list her to sell. I did a lot of shopping around and he was definitely the most convenient with the best price and did an amazing job, I will definitely be a returning customer!!

    Bobax took my work raptor and made it look GREAT almost exactly like off the showroom floor. Trust me when I say, they started with a truck that went thru the ringer. Ever inch of the truck looked like it was 10 years old especially the stains from sap dripping on paint. The finished product was ten times better then what I expected.

    Let me start by saying I read many of the reviews on this place before I took my car here…read more.. There are some very nasty negative mean-spirited reviews that in my opinion... Are not to be at all the case with this establishment. I thought they were absolutely wonderful!, Incredibly on point... Very organized, courteous, beyond professional... The place was quick and thorough and they have a great little gift shop with fabulous cards you can buy... Sometimes the best cards are at the car wash! I paid 39.99 for mine and got the silver wash... Rivan was the man who helped me when I first pulled up. I told him I wanted to put a bottle of water from my car into my window washer fluid... I was going to do it myself, and he kindly offered immediately to do it for me. So nice! And in the car wash that I bought... It comes with an interior scent. I'm not a fan of these scent sprays in those packages so I asked if I could swap that out for one of the little scented trees in the gift shop. He said no problem... I thought that was incredible! Everybody here is really nice and you get the feeling that there's a lot of really good teamwork going on here... And they even have a little coffee station and a very lovely waiting room with beautiful leather, modern furniture... They took a lot of time to detailing my interior and dressing my tires with the shiny stuff... Felt like a very luxurious experience and I think the price is incredibly fair. when I came out to my car, the gentleman who had been wiping my interior dashboard... I asked him if I could use the towel and just wipe a couple spots that were bothering my OCD... He gave me the towel, no problem and was so kind and sweet towards me. I love this place! This is my new place... I used to go to the one on Pacific Highway down by Seaport Village... And I live over there! I happened to be in La Jolla today so I came here but this is now going to be my new car wash... They are the best! So happy... I even tipped five dollars on top of the car wash. So well worth it.

There are too many other choices in San Diego County and this one needs to be avoided. It all starts with first impressions as a new customer. Even though the online booking time was convenient, the manager, Alex, clearly does not care about your business. There is a "comments" box in the online booking process that was completely ignored with my question. The detailer was late to my appointment. Time means money and they don't care about wasting your time. The work vehicle was trashed when it showed up. Dents all over the place, door molding hanging outside the door. Invest some money and take all those dents out. It gives a bad look like they don't care. Before the work was started I was verbally told it would be an extra $45 for all of the work with some stubborn stains. Okay I understood, the car's interior was quite dirty. After working four hours on the car, the stains are still there. None of the ones on the seats and the carpet floor were removed. He tried was his answer and then asked me how long have I had the car. How is that relevant for the work performed? It is none of their business. Training is an issue obviously. On their website they claim "superior customer experience." Not so much. "Real time updates" during the four hours did not happen once. "Follow up care with maintenance recommendations" was non existent. The recommendations given was to keep the windows down because it still was wet inside. They couldn't dry the vehicle first? Yeah keep the windows down so all the dust flies in - so smart of them. At the end of the appointment I requested an invoice for their work. No was their answer but if you pay by credit card and pay the 4%+ surcharge, we can do it for you. What? That makes no sense. Their other payment options are cash, Venmo or Zelle. For a company that is detailer certified I am disappointed. Yes they are certified - certified waste of time. Take your business elsewhere.

We were impressed and definitely will use them again! Bonus to have them come to our house versus us having to drop the car off somewhere and wait.

My car honestly looks better than the day I bought it. The interior restoration was phenomenal. Every surface was meticulously cleaned, conditioned, and revived. Justin saved me about 1400K in detailership repairs. He was able to renew and restore my center console to factory settings. The leather looks rich and hydrated, the trim has a beautiful finish, and even the smallest details were handled with care. You can tell they truly specialize in restoration, not just surface cleaning. What really sets them apart is their focus on preventative care. They didn't just make the car look incredible he protected it. The treatments and protective coatings they applied give me confidence that the interior and exterior will stay in top condition for the long haul. If you're looking for a detailing service that delivers luxury level and results and treats your vehicle like it's their own, this is it. Outstanding work, exceptional attention to detail, and absolutely worth every penny. Hands down I will not go to anyone else or recommend my friends or Sailors to anyone else but him. He is outstanding at his craft and passionate.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

I called around a few places the day after and Aqua Detail was available and gave the best price. Other places wanted to charge an extra fee for "biohazard" cleanup. Chris Pierro came to my work and did an amazing job with my car and I couldn't be happier. It was like nothing had happened! He even discounted the price more after he was done since "it was only a spot job." Even though this happened a few years back, I still saved his business card (which I just recently stumbled upon). Based on this experience, I would definitely recommend Chris and Aqua Detail.
