    I have an appointment set for next week to get a car detailed. I know everyone likes to review a business after they've received services however, as a former business owner myself I am very impressed with the communication, professionalism and cleanliness of the shop. Alex takes pride in his business and its easy to see. His shop is spotless, the staff is friendly, all wearing matching uniforms, and office space looks professional. Im not concerned about the outcome of my detail because he took time to thoroughly inspect the car including using a paint thickness meter before providing a quote. Im happy to found Clean Max.

    Gross parking garage stains all gone thanks to Clean Max! (This is a before photo, no after photo taken because I'm lazy lol)

    I had some awful stains from a parking garage that wouldn't go away despite a thorough car wash, but Clean Max took care of my car immediately and the stains were removed!

    Alex and his team did not disappoint. It's been one year since I did the opti coat ceramic on my car and it was time to do the annual maintenance. Johnny was very helpful in scheduling and answering some of my questions and I was able to schedule an appointment on Saturday. I also added on interior detailing. I was able to secure a Saturday appointment which worked perfectly with my schedule. When I dropped off my car, I was greeted by Alex. He gave me an ETA for completion which was about 4 hours. Without fail, about 4 hours passed and I received a text that my car was ready. When I picked up my car, it looked as though I had just did the ceramic. The interior was exceptionally clean. This was the first time for an interior detail. For the amount I paid to do the ceramic maintenance and interior, it is worth the price I paid. The attention to detail and precision is on point. Definitely recommend Clean Max Auto Detailing!

    Alex and his team were very helpful and great. Service is great. Location worked well for me. My car looks amazing.

    Alex and the team are so amazing! They detail both my RED and BLUE Lexus ISs! Wow! Can't express how much I appreciate all the work and effort they put into my cars! If you are looking for great service, come check out Clean Max Detailing off Ward.

    Had my wife's car detailed and coating done. Looks brand new. Should have done this sooner. Alex is very detailed and a consummate perfectionist. Tanya is very responsive to our questions and appointment requests. We have found the only place we'll take our cars for detailing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Clean Max Auto Detailing!!!!

    I called and I spoke to a polite and helpful person named Tania. She made it quick and easy to scheduled my appointment. The technicians working on my car did a phenomenal job on the interior and exterior of the car, I cannot say enough! This place was worth every penny. Absolute Pro shop here . Thank you to the entire shop for excellent work and service! Mahalo.

    Fast, friendly service they go the extra yard must try This is my second time. I will try to take pictures every time I go so you guys can check it out.

    Beautiful work

    Owner explained different service options and why and also how to protect each investment option. Nice guy and straight up. Good quality work and great value for what you're getting. Let's face it Toyota doesn't have the greatest paint job that last so this is a great way to protect and prolong your investment and baby. The service was awesome and the boys did a great job sorry the inside was a bit messy. Thank you for the nice work and explaining how to take care of it. We will be coming back for our periodic maintenance cleaning

    I added another photo to my previous review.. it's been three weeks and my Volvo. XC90 still looks immaculate. The glossy white exterior still has the showroom Look. I highly recommend Clean Max Auto Detailing. See Alex for a quote.

    These pictures don't do the work justice but we got the Opticoat Pro service that comes with a 5 year warranty.
    Cheryl S.

    10/10, highly recommend. The service here is top notch; they were responsive, easy to contact, knowledgeable in their products, and just all around easy to work with. My husband insisted that we ceramic coat our newest investment to protect and extend its' paint life. After researching and calling referrals from friends, we decided on Clean Max Auto Detailing based on other reviews, the service we received when requesting the quote, and the reputation of the products they use. The excellent customer service continued when we dropped off the car and again when we picked it up. To say that the car looked better when we picked it up from Clean Max than when we first drove it off the dealership lot is an understatement. They made the exterior and interior so sleek and shiny that it impressed my very critical husband.

    See all

    This place is great! I had been a die-hard McKinley's girl forever, but since my new car has…read moreceramic coating it's recommended to use touch-less washes, so here we are! Great location (just a few blocks from McKinleys) on Ward, on the side street across Ward from the Patagonia store. The lot is small, only fits 4 or 5 cars in driveway - but I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get started. (I used the time to gather up all my junk so they could thoroughly clean the interior). Service absolutely is fantastic. You drive yourself into the washing bay under the direction of the service guy. Then you back out and park under the sunshades so the team can hand dry the exterior and all door jams, AND then thoroughly vacuum out the interior. They ask you to step out at sit at provided table (under shade) or pay for service while they're doing all that. There's a service charge for using credit card that is waived if you pay cash. (SUV $29+tax) A tip box is provided on the wall - fill that baby up because these folks are so deserving! Bottom line - excellent service, location, price, and so quick and easy!

I'm looking for hand wash so I call and the person who answers says "Oh just bring it by, if it's not a detail you can just pull up" So I pull up. The guy then says "Oh you need an appointment" I said oh the guy just called said I didn't need an appointment to pull up.. then he says " oh, that was me." Then he tells me to wait and says he probably won't have time for it today if I can come back tomorrow. So I said what time? Then he says 12. I said how long does it take? He said 45- 1 hr. I said OK that works if I can get out because I have a doctor appointment at 1:20pm. Then he said " oh, just bring it by after" so I said what time? Then he says " or maybe on Saturday" I'm like huh?? I said I'm trying to get a car wash today or tomorrow then he says " oh, you can just go McKinley then." I'm not usually a complainer, but the whole interaction was just so irritating and the person I was interacting with just gave off IDGAF vibes, puffing on his vape and then just telling me to go somewhere else. Bummers because location wise they were convenient and if service was good I would have been a repeat customer.

I was a little hesitant on how the next business owner would be, but I decided to give him a try. I'm so glad I did because I've been coming here for months now. Booking an appointment is easy and Colby (new owner) is very responsive. He usually gets back to me by the end of the day. LOCATION: They are located in the Pacific Guardian Center... the entry to their building is on Alakea Street. Pull a ticket and drive up to the 10th floor. COST: Depending on what you wanna get, he hand wash and dries your car... I have a black car so I don't trust taking my car to an auto car wash place. Inquire with the business because the prices my change. Overall, for the convenience and quality, it's definitely worth it. SERVICE: Colby is very responsive via text message or phone. I usually drop my car off and then grab a bite to eat downstairs and catch up on some reading. When he's about done with my car, he texts me and then I head back upstairs. The garage ticket is also automated. So you don't have to worry about paying for the garage fee on the way out. I've been coming here for a few month now for a hand wash and quick vacuum of the interior. It's really convenient coming here because I live a very busy life. I'll be sure to add more photos the next time I'm there.

    NEWEST UPDATE: Aloha folks -- i've updated my review as…read morethere has been some progress. Greg reached out to me explaining that based on the video I sent, it appeared that the ceramic coating was working, but not how it should be. He asked if I could bring the vehicle in so that his team could wash it, and verify this in person. We agreed that I would drop my vehicle off on Friday. This will allow for a pickup on Saturday. Upon drop off, his guys, Zane and Kato accepted the vehicle and tested the ceramic. Right away, Zane said that it wasn't reacting correctly. I left my keys with them and was told that the vehicle would be ready for pickup the following day and I would be notified by call or text. Saturday -- Premiere is open until 6pm. Once 5pm came around I was admittedly starting to get a little bit nervous seeing as how I needed my car for work on Monday, and I knew they were closed on Sunday. I attempted to call and received no response. Living closeby, I just decided to head over. I got there about 540pm. Greg was there detailing the interior of a car. He had plenty of vehicles to take care of. He was friendly and apologized for the lack of communication, citing that he was swamped with the influx of vehicles. He explained that my car was "done" but that he, himself, had taken issue with it. When we approached my car, it was clear that work had been done. But upon closer inspection, there were water spots on my glass and streak marks on areas, exacerbated by the light from his cell phone flashlight. He was able to quickly wipe some of them off. He again apologized and said that he didn't like the work that was done and asked if he could keep my vehicle until Tuesday so that it could be completely redone. This I respect. Alot. For a boss to take ownership of their work and the work of their employees goes a long way. I left it -- picked it up on Tuesday. The car looks fantastic. Here's to waiting it out and see if the ceramic holds this time around. Very glad that I chose the boys at Premiere. Will update in a week :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aloha all! Second time using the boys at Premiere Island Auto Detail. They did an amazing job on my camaro, that I felt it only right to use them for our SUV. My last interactions with Greg (the owner) and his team were nothing short of amazing. He is a personably guy. I reached out to them asking for an interior and exterior detail on my 2023 Mazda CX50. After some back and forth on the services, I ended up changing my service to a "basic" ceramic coating (which includes an exterior detail to prep it) and full interior detail. The price was amazing. Greg takes care of his customers. I wont mention it here as pricing can always change. As a reminder to anyone reading this -- its always a nice gesture to tip them, though, not required. Greg was able to take my car pretty quickly. I made the appointment for a drop off on Saturday. For those of you that don't know, ceramic coatings require a curing time, and therefore, I needed to leave my vehicle overnight. The garage is secure and under surveillance. It is easily accessible in the downtown area. I came back the next morning to pickup my car. It looked stellar! The lighting really makes the cars pop too. The exterior looked brand new (minus water spots that apparently weren't able to be removed from the 3m decals). The interior also looked great. I had some minor pet fur still embedded, but nothing to harp about. I noticed that the trunk space wasn't addressed though. No biggie. Now the reason for my decrease in rating: I want to start off by reiterating that Greg and his team are excellent dudes to work with. They are friendly, fast, and do good work. My Mazda, this time around, just isn't what I expected from them. I haven't been able to get back for the car wash because the weather has been awful -- so its been a little bit of time since the coating. There are some spots where the ceramic is noticeable. Particularly under the side mirrors, you can see the coating is still there and streaked on. The new formula that they used on this "basic" coating, definitely shows a difference. Maybe this coating only included one pass over, i'm not sure, but the beading effect just isn't there. Dirt and grime still clings to the car and it doesn't wash off with water. The roof doesnt appear to have been coated, but I could be wrong. The wheels were not coated. I am unsure if the glass was coated. The trim appears to have been coated but not wiped off properly. Anyway, do I recommend them? Absolutely. I still think they do good work at a great price. However, I would strongly encourage you to ask about their options for ceramic coating and not get a lesser package. Mahalo Premiere

    I cannot say enough incredible things about Premier Island Auto Detail and Greg…read more I first met Greg during a very special (and stressful) time in my life--just one week before giving birth. I needed my car to be immaculately clean, and what he delivered completely exceeded every expectation. When I picked up my car, I was honestly in awe. It looked and felt brand new. What truly stood out, though, wasn't just the quality of his work--it was him. My family was with me, and Greg treated all of us with such genuine kindness, respect, and aloha. That moment has stayed with me ever since. He is truly one of those rare, good-hearted people you don't forget. Fast forward to recently--I had what I thought was a total nightmare situation. After a fishing day with my family, squid juice spilled into my car and soaked into the carpet. The smell was awful. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't go away, and I genuinely thought my car was permanently ruined. Of course, I reached out to Greg--and once again, he worked his magic. Not only did he completely remove the odor, but my car now smells (and feels) brand new again. I honestly don't know how he does it, but his attention to detail, work ethic, and level of care are unmatched. Greg is the only person I trust with my car. I recommend Premier Island Auto Detail to everyone--my friends, my clients, my family--because when you find someone this genuine and this talented, you don't keep it to yourself. Thank you infinitely, Greg. Your work and your spirit truly make a difference.
