Steve provides the best quality services I've ever encountered, hands down. My truck looks like new every time he details it.

As a birthday present I wanted my car cleaned and detailed. Steve did an excellent job. I chose EXL based on other reviews and was not disappointed. I dropped off my car to Steve the night before and was able to pick it up the next afternoon. Some long-time stains (my car has black interior so you can see everything) were gone and my car looked and smelled great. Still does! I'll definitely use Steve in the future and recommend him to everyone. He does detail high-end vehicles, but mine was just your average Mazda. :) Look no further, call Steve. read more

I am having a hard time describing just how incredible this interior detail job was. Over the course of the last couple of months I have used my car extensively to clean out an apartment as well as a storage unit. Dozens upon dozens of trash bags have been hauled in my car as well as dirty cardboard boxes and dusty heirlooms. Additionally I have had my two dogs in the car, quite a bit, as well. There fur is short, dance, and slightly coarse. In other words, it's sticks to everything. EVERYTHING. Not to mention, it is the middle of winter, so therefore the interior is dirty from ice salt and melted snow grime. While the interior of my car did not look like something from a mad Max movie, it was pretty close. However, after Steve returned it to me it sparkled. Literally, it looked better than the day I drove it off the car dealership, brand new. He was an excellent communicator, letting me know when he was leaving his shop, letting me know when he got to my office, letting me know when he was on his way back. From start to finish, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to have the interior of the car detailed. He also washed the car before he returned it, even though I only paid to have the interior detailed. That was awesome. read more

If you want to keep your car's exterior and interior in tip top shape, call Steve at EXL. He does excellent work, and takes great pride in his workmanship. His latest endeavor for my car was a color correction and ceramic coating. This 11 year old red paint job now looks brand spanking new - I kid you not - and red paint is the kind of color that time and the elements can be unkind to!Steve's work is impeccable and will give any car a new life. read more

Words cannot express the transformation in my car. Steve worked miracles. The car had not been detailed for 3+ years. It is back to looking new. I highly recommend Steve! I will be going back this spring to get the outside done. read more

10/10 job. I had a ton of scratches and Steve minimized or completely removed them way more than I thought would be possible. read more

I contacted EXL through Yelp to get a quote and schedule an appointment to have my 2007 Odyssey detailed. The van looked *amazing* after the cleaning! Communication was quick and responsive, payment was made easily with several options available. read more

I am very impressed with EXL, I did the "Essentials" package and it totally worth it! I didn't clean the interior since last winter, and it was really messy. The leaves and snow stains were there for almost a year. I tried to clean them by myself with vacuum, but it didn't work at all. Then I found EXL on Internet. I dropped vehicle Friday noon and picked up Saturday (the job was done by Friday night). I was surprised when I saw the car: the exterior was cleaned and shining with a layer of paint sealant; the whole interior was cleaned include dash, console, panels, and leather seats. I had stuff in my car and they were carefully stored in a sealed bag during the cleaning. Unlike other business in Iowa City area, I think Steve takes his business very serious. I had car detail with another detailing place at east Iowa city before, and their work was rough. But EXL did a great job! I am going to tell this business to my friends. If you are looking for a place for car detailing, this is it! read more

Does an amazing job! Had him extract my girlfriends jeep back seats that were absolutely disgusting. After he was done it looked brand new. Great price for what your getting. read more

Steve did a great job on Jeep Compass, it looks better than new, smells clean but not over powering. Removed the dog hair and the stains a wet dog leaves. He picked up the vehicle and returned it when he said he would. Price was very reasonable, very easy to deal with via email & texting. Great experience with EXL Auto Detailing they will be the only ones detailing my vehicles. read more

I just picked my van up from Steve and to say that I am happy with it is such an understatement. I dropped off a van with a seat full of vomit, chocolate melted onto another seat, a solid six or seven years of food dropped by small children and ground into the carpet, and overall just a nasty vehicle. It was so bad that my ex-husband used to call it a dumpster on wheels. I just picked up a vehicle that is probably the cleanest it has been since the day I purchased it. No yucky smells, stains vanished, super clean and very pleasant to drive again. Will absolutely be bringing all of our vehicles here to be cleaned up. read more

Steve did a great job on my Forester! I had a slight scratch across the front of the hood. I didn't even mention it to him and when I got the car back it is now impossible to even detect. He even did a quick clean of the floor mats when I was only having the exterior done. read more

Steve did an amazing job on one of my cars. It brought it to him with an incredible amount of dog hair in the back and the car was filthy overall.This car was my girlfriends car which was used to transport out 100 lb German Shepherd. But Steve and his team killed it, the car looked better than brand new and he gave me an incredible and reasonable price for that service too. In addition Steve also helped me with paint correction and installing ceramic coatings on my cars too, his level of attention and care is out of the world. I whole heartedly recommend Steve for his level of work and I will continue to go back to him. read more

Steve did an exceptional job. He was flexible regarding scheduling and left my car cleaner than it has been in years all while maintain social distancing. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Extremely happy with the work I received. I got the "awesome interior detail" package and amazed with the job he did. His pricing is also very reasonable. Would highly recommend to others! read more

Steve was amazing. So much so, I ended up just giving him an extra $20 just because I was so happy with his work. Not only did he save my car for half the price other places would have, he went above and beyond by doing extra things such as cleaning my headlights and tires although I only paid him to clean my roof/windows. Would come back any time. read more

What an amazing job! My car looks brand new! Everything was great from the service to pick up! Thank you so much! I am going to recommend EXL to everyone! read more

Wow, I was really impressed with how good my car looked after getting it detailed. It looked almost as good as it did when it was new, it's a 2009. I've had it detailed before but don't remember it looking this nice. I will definitely be a return customer. Great job, highly recommended! read more

For the most part I am pleased with how my car turned out. The inside of the car is back to smelling clean and he was able to get most of the dirt out of my seats. My only complaint is the lack of attention to detail. There were many spots all over my center counsel that noticeably dirty still. I had to fix these areas when I got home as they bothered me too much. With that said the service was timely and the pricing is pretty fair. I would still recommend his services. read more

I left a more detailed review on the Facebook page, so go there for more info. Steve did an incredible job on my Honda! The interior and exterior look immaculate. He pays so much attention to covering every square inch of space inside and out. I felt like I was driving a new car off the lot. Thanks for the fantastic work!!! Highly recommend to anyone. Several packages to choose from. And Steve is a great guy--very easy and pleasant to work with. Call and get your detail service scheduled! read more

Steve did an absolutely wonderful job on our Hyundai. By far the most impressive thing was the removal of a giant, well set, coffee spill stain on the front passenger seat. All "evidence" was totally removed and there is no sign of a spill remaining. We also have a medium shedding dog, and there are no signs of hair in the car. The exterior also looks great, especially the headlights which were getting a little cloudy but now are very clean. The whole car looks like it is showroom new! Steve was also great with communication, and very flexible with our schedule. He provides a great service and I highly recommend this service to anyone. read more

EXL did a great job on my car. Very friendly and easy to work with. Their website also does a good job of listing their detail options and their pricing structure. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Wow, what a great experience! I e-mailed the owner Steve and asked when he could fit my car in for detailing. He responded promptly and helped me choose a package. He came to my work and picked up the car and returned it when it was completed. My car looks fantastic inside and out! Steve is friendly, makes the experience hassle free, and does an excellent job. I highly recommend this service. read more
