I can not make enough positive comments about the quality of Stu's car detailing. My 12 year old Land Rover looks like it just came out of the showroom. He didn't overlook one thing. And, on top of that, he is just a really nice and genuinely honest guy. Many in my neighborhood use him. Do not hesitate. Best detailer in the Tampa Bay. The photo does not do his thorough work full justice. Every nook and cranny was cleaned. read more

My father in law has this weird habit of needing the exterior of his truck to be clean, because a dirty exterior embarrasses him... dude should worry about the INSIDE of the truck instead. My description had been "smells like a dirty old man" and no one disagreed with that. And thus the need for detailing and getting the dirty old man (DOM) smell out. I had tried a different place for getting our less dirty and much older Toyota Prius detailed at, and they did an OK job but not worth the price for the job. This truck being beyond filthy really needed someone with attention to detail and dedication. Sent out a request for quotes through Yelp and got 3 responses. Two of which were "call me for a quote" and one, Elite Care Care Auto Detailing, that answered the request with a quote and information. So already a plus. My description in the original request was thorough, I don't have time to be calling a bunch of places for a quote I already told you the details about. I made arrangements with Stew to drop the car off early, he was very professional and accommodating to my weird schedule which made this so much easier for me. I dropped it off, and I could not believe it was done within about 4 hours. As you can imagine, it made me skeptical of the job done. He stowed the truck for me to pick up the next morning and I was curious all day. When I picked up the truck I was thoroughly impressed with the job. Way more than my experience at a different place for a higher price. The interior was spotless and smelled fantastic. No more DOM smell! No more feeling like I needed a shower every time I got in there. The truck went from 4 years of grime, dirt, dust, spills, snow mud, and who knows what else and NEVER being interiorly cleaned even superficially, to a brand new looking truck. I will without fail take any future vehicle to Stew at Elite Car Care, he and his work impressed me and that is not an easy thing to do. So overall, superb job on the interior clean, great price, highly recommended. read more

Car looked new when I got it back-inside and outside!! The detailing was finished very quickly. Highly recommend him read more

Great job! I've owned this car for 5 years. I bought it CPO in Arizona. I drove from AZ to FL in March 2021. Needless to say, there were a lot of chip and fine scratch damage all over the body. "Stu" was friendly and honest, he was up front about what he could and couldn't do. I agreed that the damage to the car that was down to metal was beyond repair. I dropped the car off at 8am and picked it up at 2pm. The car looks just as good as when I bought it. He was able to get about 85% of the fine scratches removed. The car looks alive again with a great shine. He removed the stains in seats and headliner. The biggest surprise was how well he restored the headlights. The car looks great and I'm happy with the service. Would recommend my friends and family to Elite! read more

I was looking for a good place to get a detail with the engine steamed out as well. Not a easy feat in our neck of the woods but googled places to get a car detail and read the reviews. After that I took it up to have an estimate done on it and set up a time to come in. At the same time I had mentioned that I had a few spots on the body that needed a touch up and had some paint to do so. The gentleman told me to bring in the paint with the car and he'd touch it up. My car is a 2006 and it looks absolutely brand new! I had a hard time taking photos to attach as the mirror finish showed everything around as a reflection, as though looking into a mirror!! More than pleased with the job-well done!! Thank you so much and will now not hesitate to refer others and will be a definite returning customer! read more

I used Stu at Elite for 2 of my vehicles this Thursday and Friday. Both black. The 1st was a 2017 BMW X5. When I first talked to him about doing it I was ready to pay for paint reconditioning because I thought that is what it would need. We bought it used and the paint was never right no matter how much I washed and waxed. He could've easily agreed with me and charged me to recondition the paint however he said that wouldn't be necessary and he could get it to where I was looking for for a lot less money. The 2nd was a 2009 Cadillac SRX I recently bought that was in even worse condition. The previous owner had allowed his sprinkler system to spray on the car for months and the water spots were horrific. I tried cleaner wax on my own and got nowhere with it. Both cars turned out great. The BMW looks better than it's ever looked. On the SRX the water spots even under flashlight were completely gone. The price was more than reasonable, he communicated very well and did what he said he would. I will be recommending him to my friends. read more

Consistent, quality care for all our vehicles. Been usung Stu for a very long time and we are never disappointed. He takes the time to take care of unexpected details and our cars look and feel like new. read more

My car looks like a million after Stu waxed it. He is very proficient and detail oriented. I highly recommend and will be back!! Johnny

Very good job. No complaints got all the stains out for a good price.timely and friendly

I am new to Florida and the Pinellas County area. I found Elite on Yelp and I could not be happier with my decision to utilize this business. Starting with Kristen on the phone all the way through meeting Stuart (the owner), Kristen (his daughter), and Nicole (their dog!!) This was an exceptional experience performed by exceptional people. The service itself was top notch (I had an interior cleaning done) and almost hard to believe what a good job they did. The only thing that surpassed the great job they did was how welcome they made me feel. There is a very comfortable waiting area with free wi-fi that allowed me to bring my laptop and get some work done while I waited. I would recommend this business highly and I will most definitely be back!! read more

I contacted Stuart at Elite months ago based on all the excellent recommendations here on Yelp. I never followed up until this past week. He was very responsive and got me in and scheduled a special time just for me. He did an awesome job my car is spic and span inside and out. Easily accessible location! read more

Wow my car looks amazing!! The work Stu did on my car is incredible. He really worked hard to bring out the best in my vehicle. 5 stars - highly recommend!!! read more

I knew the minute I saw his eat off the floor shop I had made the right choice. Stu is so nice and made me (a lone female) feel very comfortable. I wish I had before and after pictures. The transformation was truly amazing. My poor little Honda Fit was was in bad condition. Covered in white dog hair and dirt. I'm not exaggerating it was bad. Stu worked his magic and it it was beautiful, shiny, and clean. No dog hair at all. I Absolutely recommend Stu and his Elite Car Care. I am a legitimate customer and have no ties to Stu or his company. read more

Had a gallon of white paint rollover and spill all over the flooring of my three month old Mustang. I pulled in, Stu stopped what he was doing, and in just 1-2 hours, had all the white paint gone and the car good as new. Thank you Stu!!! read more

Elite Car Care - Auto Detailing Near Me

Read great things about Stu and Elite Car Care so I figure I'd give them a try. Stu stayed in close communication prior to me bringing in my car and updated me the minute he was finished with it. When we were talking, he said that he loved what he did and the quality of his work clearly reflects that! Even if you don't drive the most expensive car on the street, Stu cares for your car as if you do. I will certainly be bringing my car back in the future! read more

Stu is great.. Awesome work and service. Very professional and outstanding job done. I would recommend to everyone! I sure will be returning. Definitely worth it. read more

I took my car in a couple of weeks ago to get my rims fixed as the paint was chipping away on them. They did an amazing job and the price was very reasonable. Their attention to detail was amazing and it only took them a day to fix all 4 rims. I couldn't recommend them enough! read more

My car is three years old, and has probably been washed three times... I have a 6 year old, so suffice to say, my backseat was covered in slime, dried ketchup and miscellaneous goop. I had several scrapes of color transferred from parking lot dings and there was mold coming from my gas cap creeping onto the body of my car. Stu was able to bring my car back to the first day I drove it off the Toyota lot. I was amazed just seeing the outside. And my mouth hit the floor when I opened the door! Spotless! Not a speck of sand! This guy works magic... and he's very pleasant and kind to deal with. I'd recommend anyone to go to him!! read more

Very friendly staff nice people to deal with. They did a great job detailing my vehicle. They took out two stains I had on my interior. Vehicle looks great now. I will use them again. Just had my truck detailed as always they did a great job read more

I recently purchased a 2008 Honda Element from an older gentleman who literally never took care of the interior of the vehicle, from the moment it was purchased. This car was a mess...so bad I felt as though I had to wear a hazmat suit inside of it. Yes that bad honest-to-God. After doing some Yelp reviews I found Elite Car Care. I have to say I am incredibly impressed with what they did to the interior of this vehicle. The interior looks brand new. They cleaned absolutely everything inside the car, and out, including what appeared to be two year old Coca-Cola that had been, spilled, pooled and hardened at the bottom of the coin tray. Everything was spotless. Animal hair, gone. Seat stains, gone. Bio-residure, gone. The exterior the car is rough do the weathering but they managed eak out a shine on the paint which is much appreciated. Overall just an amazing job for a fair price (and every bit of 4 hours) based upon what condition this car was in. Highly recommended! read more

I have been searching for a good auto detail for some time. I am so glad that I found this place. Stuart and his crew really pays attention to detail. read more

Highly recommend! I brought my large SUV in for a platinum package, my car has never looked better! They renewed my black paint and easily dealt with scratches, old stickers, and very dried on sap. They vacuumed out all the sand, got all the kids' handprints and gunk out from the second and third rows, and went above and beyond in their attention to detail. I really appreciated Stu calling me when I scheduled my appointment! He talked through what I needed done, explained the process, and answered all my questions. When I arrived that morning he met me within seconds and we went over the car together and showed me the sap removal process-cheers to business owners that take the time to welcome and appreciate their customers! All the employees are incredibly friendly and genuinely listen to concerns and requests. Will be back again soon! read more

Spilled battery acid in the back of my van. I called a lot of places and as soon as they heard battery, they wanted nothing to do with it. I called Elite and not only was Stu willing to take care of it, he offered suggestions for me to try prior to letting him clean it. To make it worse, I was flying out early the next day. The following morning, I was there bright and early, he got me in and I was out of there in less than an hour. And the price was unbelievable. I'm not from the area but look at his reviews. Elite Car Care is that good. Give them a try. read more
