Returning customer! Doug does an amazing job and it is not questionable at all! Would definitely be a loyal customer

This is Doug!!

WOW! My interior detail was beyond fantastic... I bought a 22 year old/1/2 million mile BMW back in 2022 and it had been previously owned by a mechanic as his work car. Most likely last cleaned in 2016. It now looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor! Doug showed me the cleaning water afterward and he much have taken 20 pounds of dirt out of that car! AND he got rid of all the mechanic's grime and grease! There is construction going on where I live so I have to wait to do the outside, but I have great hopes! You can have Doug clean your car with complete confidence!

Doug did an excellent job on the hand wash and wax. Car looks and feels brand new! He went above and beyond both in service, quality and detail. Will be back again for all my waxing/detailing needs.

Im very particular about who cleans my car. I want it to be hand washed, eco friendly and most importantly done with love. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I had a sense that Doug was my guy. I was also excited about supporting a local small business. I reached out to him a couple of times but I never heard back from him. A stickler for good customer service, normally I would not have continued to pursue him. Something told me however, to just try to stop by his shop one day. I'm so glad I did. Yes, he's hard to reach by phone( because he's a one man shop and his regular clientele keep him very busy). I probably shouldn't be disclosing this because he might get even busier :), but trust me he's worth the extra effort to get into. Stop by the shop and if he can he will get you in.

I trust Doug with all of my cars. I recently purchased a car and Doug is the only person that will touch it. He is professional, dependable and detailed. He takes lrode in his work and goes above and beyond expectations. He put a ceramic coat on my car that when it rains the water bounces off and is a show stopper.

Across the country and back, every mile with my 80lb fur ball friend drooling on the center console. Aaaand we back!

Doug brought my truck back to life after a trip back in forth across the country, with an 80lb slobbery dog, in the middle of summer baking bugs to the grill. Meticulous and Professional. Thanks Doug, I'll be back under cleaner circumstances for the regular wash!

Well deserved title of Altadena's Hidden Gem.

My car was a dusty dirty mess after driving up/down the cajon pass for work and skipping a proper wash these last few months. Doug did an amazing job and even put in some extra elbow grease to remove the sticky residue I had on my trunk from a sticker I had pulled off. His set up is kind of hidden and located in the alleyway. Believe the hype, bring your car in for a quality wash, and support small business!

Every time I get my car done with Doug I can be rest assured that it will be absolute quality. Been going to Doug's for over two years and I wouldn't trust anyone else to wash it. I just recently moved further, but the 45 min drive is worth it! I always get compliments from others on how it looks and recommend them to Doug. Don't hesitate with Doug, you won't be disappointed!

See all

Doug is awesome. I've recommended him to my friends. He's behind a building and under a tent. He's very funny and reliable.

He took his time with my girl's car, it was a regular car wash but it felt like a mini detail.

The car came out looking really good, and it's clear they take pride in the actual detailing. That said, I had a frustrating experience with pricing that I think needs to be called out. When the technician arrived, we walked the car together and I was given an agreed upon price. After the wash was completed, I was then told the car wasn't properly evaluated and the price would be higher because it "took longer than expected" - not due to anything unforeseen. I don't think that's acceptable. Pricing should be clear and agreed upon before any work begins -- not adjusted once the job is already complete. In this situation, it was never communicated that the price may be adjusted. It puts the customer in a difficult position and takes away from an otherwise positive experience. Again, the end result was great, which is why I'm not rating lower. But the pricing process needs to be more upfront and transparent. I'd recommend double confirming a firm price before they start to avoid any surprises.

They were able to get the stink out in one detailing and I am so thankful. The SUV ended up having another spill I was not aware of from the trunk. They cleaned that up as well. I will definitely reach out again to them for my sedan. It was so easy that they can come to your house and the price is competitive. I also love that is is a father and son company.

I had several questions about their services, and David took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understood the entire process. I decided to get PPF on the front of my car along with a ceramic coating for the rest of the vehicle, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My car looks incredibly glossy, and I've already received several compliments about how shiny and brand new it looks. The quality of their work definitely speaks for itself, and I truly feel the price was well worth it. When I picked up my car, David walked me through everything that had been done and gave me great tips on how to maintain the finish so it stays looking its best. That level of customer service really stood out to me. I highly recommend Birds Auto Detail to anyone looking for quality work and excellent customer service. I would absolutely use their mobile services in the future. They've definitely earned a lifetime customer!! Thank you for taking care of my Toyota!

I haven't been able to contact him since the fires, so I hope he is ok. There's a ton of mobile detailers, and it's hard to find a good one that actually cares enough to know and explain why he uses the products he uses. He charges an extremely value price for his services. Throughout the years I've used 4-5 different detailers and his prices are by far the lowest. I usually tip 30-45% because it's that low compared to the competition. He also doesn't advise unnecessary services. My car had a ceramic coating that was only supposed to last 2 years but even at 5 years it's still in great condition. He took a look at it when it was 4 years old and mentioned it still has a lot of life left. Again, hope everything is good and he is safe.

I was in the middle of what felt like a crisis because water made it into my car through my darn sunroof. I was on vacation when this happened so upon entering my car, yuck!! The wet carpet smell was disgusting to say the least. I wasn't sure what to do except get it cleaned before resorting to reupholstering my whole SUV. Lucky for me, I found Vladimir and he was out the very next day, where he did a full detail. He did such an amazing job my car felt practically new again. He literally made every car wash & car detailing I've had before look like trash. Lol! His work was meticulously executed and he helped get rid of the odor from my car. I plan on using him for all of my future car washes & detailings. By far the best service and value I've spent money on in quite some time. Thank you again Vladimir, I appreciate your hard work!
