It's a beautiful Saturday morning in DC, when I get notifications that the Instagram account for this business is harassing me on my account, completely unprovoked. Why he's spending his Saturday morning bothering me, I may never know. But, if he has clients, he should be tending to his business. Maybe, if he focused on his marketing instead of calling me a "MySpace girl," he would have more than 72 followers. read more

I have taken my cars to Certified Auto Detail for years! Professional, reliable, and trustworthy! A fantastic job throughout! I had some headlight damage and they were so bright after restoration! No need for new ones! Light scratches on my paint were looking like new after a buff job! The best detail company I have ever been to and I continue to go back! read more

Certified Auto Detailing - Sparkling like a fine champagne! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I made an appointment with Dave for two cars. He arrived with an assistant so it wouldn't take that long. He was here about five hours and both cars came out GREAT. The interior on our Honda Accord was revitalized and the Armada looks brand new even if it's a 2006. Having them come to the home made it easy because I had one car available to pick up my son from school. I highly recommend Dave and his company. BTW, I never had an issue regarding his responsiveness. read more

Recently had my 1965 mustang shipped out from the east coast where it had been in storage for 3 years. To make a long story short when my car was delivered out here there were a lot of noticeable surface scratches and webbing on the paint. Mind you my mustang is black, so every little imperfection could be seen. I found Dave through Yelp and gave him a call to see if I could swing by his shop to give me an estimate. He did a thorough walk around of my car, and after chatting with him I felt like this was the right guy who could take care of my concerns with my car. Yesterday morning I dropped off my car and he gave me a time to come pick it up. When I walked in his shop to pick it up I was blown away. The car looks just as good when it was painted 12 years ago. I am so happy with how the car turned out. Literally looks like glass and the pictures attached don't do it justice! Dave is very honest, upfront, and easy to communicate with, which coming from the customer perspective is refreshing. I couldn't be happier with bringing my car to Dave. If you're reading this review, and are looking to get your vehicle detailed, I highly recommend Certified Auto Detailing! Thanks Dave! read more

Certified Auto Detailing - Auto Detailing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I have had my last 3 vehicles done by Certified Auto Detailing. From washing and waxing to restoration and paint correction every job comes out perfect! It's important that my car always looks nice inside and out so even if I'm working my car will be picked up and delivered back. I recommend and refer my clients as well! The ability to have their vehicle attended to while they work out is so convenient. :) read more

Worst experience... terrible service. Rudeness... attitude ... overpriced and lazily done... items missing from car after detail and no one helped when I called about it. I would definitely avoid this place if you can. read more

LIFE SAVER ALERT! I called Dave after I backed my golf cart into my car (I know, who does that?) leaving a scratch on the golf cart. He assured me that he would be able to buff the scratch out of the golf cart as well as meet me at the house since the golf cart wouldn't be able to make it to his shop. Not only was he extremely accommodating but he also was very professional and thorough. After he was done there was no sign of a scratch or damage! I highly recommend this spot! read more

He was great until he started taking my car back to his shop for weekly washes. The last appointment I had with Mr Nola was for a full detail. He brought the car back dirty had only steam cleaned the leather and wrecked passenger side rims! would not recommend his service. He seemed to be agitated so i just paid for the leather cleaning it cost me $240.00 to fix my rims. read more

Been going here for about 2 years now. And I wouldn't let anyone else touch my car! This place always gets the job done the first time and they do a great job at it! Make sure to set a appointment because he is very busy! Had my head lights all sand blasted. And he made them spotless quick! Thank you very much! 6stars not 5!!! read more

Certified Auto Detailing - Thanks for keeping my car so clean over the years!! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

My wife had Dave come and pick up her white Mercedes CLK350 for a wash and interior detailing. When she got the car back there was a fairly large irregular shaped area on the right front hood where the Clear Coat looked like it had been eaten away. I immediately called Dave and explained to him what was there and he immediately denied any wrong doing and blamed us for doing it after we got the car back. He didn't even offer to look at the problem to see if it was his fault. I took the car to our body shop and he confirmed that it was indeed a chemical that was used and it ate the clear coat off down to the primer. He had seen this done before with other customers. The cost to repair is going to be approx $500.00 and Dave wont return my calls any more so i can explain the cost, Going to small claims on this one. Very bad Experience and will report him to the Better Business Bureau read more

Please don't go to these nasty people!! They are absolutely rude and don't deserve your business. read more

This place used to be good but the business has largely fallen apart. The service is terrible and I was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the last two jobs I had done. I'm done with this place. Will not be returning. Ridiculous. read more

A while back this business ran a deal on the local TV station daily deals. I purchased a certificate for a $100 detailing for $40. I called to make an appt. for detailing on a specific day and time. When I got there there was no such address but there were buildings with numbers above and below that number I was given. I called and called to try and get directions but all I got was voicemail, I left several messages explaining and asking for a call back. Finally I had to give up and just go home. I never got a return phone call. Then a friend of mine who had purchased the same deal called and made his appt. and everything worked out fine for him. He didn't have to find the place because he made a deal for the guy to come and pick up his car. When I saw the job that was done I was amazed at the quality of the work. the car was gorgeous. That made me want to try again so I called and made another appt. and asked why I was unable to find the place the first time. He said that even tho his address was an even number it was on the odd number side of the street Now why he doesn't tell prospective clients that I have no idea. Any way, on the appointed day I showed up at the agreed upon time and again had difficulty finding him because even tho this time I could find the building, he prints the wrong unit number on his certificates so I was looking for unit 12 as stated but he is actually in unit 6. ??????? I waited around for a while and he didn't show up so I called and this time he answered the phone and said he would be there shortly. It ended up he was about a half hour late and then he said that he had to take his dog to the vet but that he had someone else to start on my car til he returned and that the car would be ready between 12 and 1PM. At about 12::20 he called and said that he would be starting on my car in a little while???????? I read him the riot act at that time and he promised that now he 3 guys working on it so it would be done in about an hour and a half. It was about 3 when I finally got the car and it seemed to be OK but in the bright sun it was difficult to see with all the glare. After I got the car home and in my garage I could see that the workmanship was awful. The wheel wells weren't done, under the door handles was not done, the mirror was all smudged with dried cleaner, and there were buff marks all over the car where it was never completely buffed out. There were also marks all over the car that should have been removed with a normal buffing job. So, my opinion is that this guy is hit and miss. If you happen to get him on a good day maybe you'll be OK but if not, well your car will look like mine. I wouldn't waste my time and money again with this business. read more

Pretty bad customer service. Purchased a Desert Deal and tried calling the number listed. No one EVER answers the phone. I called morning, noon, and night over a 2 week period and no one ever answered. After leaving several messages for a return call, no one ever called. I asked for a refund from Desert Real Deals and they were more than happy to return my money. There is nothing I hate more than poor/bad customer service. read more

- Same thing that happened to Letty S ., happened to me. - I initially left a message to schedule an appt., No one returned that phone call. - I called back numerous times and left messages over a three week period (making allowances for the holidays). They never returned one phone call. - They did, however, answer a call from a number they did NOT recognize during that time frame. read more

The location is out of the ordinary, but Dave is more then accommodating and produces a great result in car detailing. Dave kept me informed the entire time and went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy. I would definitely utilize Dave and his services again, recommendation is a must. read more

My boyfriend and I have had Dave detail our cars several times. I have also recommended him to a couple friends and my parents. We were all very happy with our like new cars. Dave does the best details at the best prices. He is worth going to. He gets the job done right. Thank you Dave :) read more

I recently had my PT Cruiser detailed at Certified Auto Detailing and was very impressed with the quality of work done!

Great job. My car hasn't looked this good since it was new. Very honest. He found my diamond earring and gave it back to me!!! Price was good also. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

We had an appointment last week to detail two cars that we had to cancel for medical reasons. We rescheduled for this week and cleared our schedules to make both cars available. Certified did not show up at the appointment time so I called and was told that they would not be coming as they failed to put us on their schedule. Sounds like dependability could be a big problem... read more

I first met David when he came into my office about a year and a half ago...He took my car and when he brought it back it was almost unrecognizable...David did an awesome job...way beyond what I was expecting...price was excellent as well. To this day David continues to detail my car and I hope he is around for a long time. I never have to worry if my car will come back half clean, it is always over the top. Keep up the fantastic work! read more

I have the same complaints as S.w; over a dozen messages left with no return phone calls...FINALLY made an appointment and when I got to 42nd Avenue I could not find such an address at 74818. Tried calling; someone disconnected during the phone call after hearing we were lost. Tried calling back 6 times and NO RETURN PHONE CALL ALL DAY. I had a "Coupon Deal" as well and have been trying for months to redeem. I am done trying. It is not worth $45 to waste my time chasing this guy. I guess his name is David? Crazy to think people run businesses like this. read more

i have had a terrible experience with david nola of certified auto detailing ( the owner ) he broke the the windshield in the car he detailed for me. he would not stand up to the cracked windshield that was broken while he worked on the car. it was not cracked when taken to him he admitted. i'm sorry to have to write this, but fair is fair and the offer of a free detail does cover the cost of a new windshield read more
