    Our 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman

    This is the third car I've had Christian at Finesse detail (this one is my mom's). My daughter also had her Jetta detailed by Christian. She had parked under a tree and the sap had made her car impossible for her to clean. Christian made the car look better than when we bought it! This time I inquired if I could get the windows on the Mini tinted. The car's design always made heat a real issue and the AC just couldn't keep up. Today I drove the car with the new tint and it feels so much better. Christian has been easy to work with and I look forward to working with him again.

    Proof of incoming call from Anton almost one hour after my scheduled appointment
    David E.

    Found them on Yelp yesterday and booked an appointment online after receiving an email from the owner. The appointment was today at 1:00 pm and they make you pay 50% down. We'll, it's 1:35 pm and they are a no show/no call. The voicemail box is full and they are not responding to text or email. How to you spell RIPOFF??? Horrible first impression Update: I received a call from Anton Alejandre (619-577-0174)who threatened me and used really demeaning language( gay slurs). Refused a refund unless I removed my Yelp review. Blackmail!!! Someone else contacted me claiming Anton doesn't work for them but why did he call about the detailing? i am being issued a refund but he said this review is unfair!!! WRONG

    I did the interior and exterior 399 package

    Christian owner of Finesse Auto Detail was quick to respond and have open availability to come to me. He is super kind and he did a great job!! This is the second time I've used Finesse and I went with the interior exterior $399 package and my car looks as new as the day I bought it! My car shines bright and the inside is super clean especially since I have 2 dogs. I'm going to keep using Finesse and I would recommend them to everyone.

    A few weeks before my auto detail!

    SUMMARY: If your car needs some TLC, Christian and his team at Finesse Auto Detailing will take care of you, your car, and will go above and beyond! Just look at my pre and post detailing photos if you are not convinced yet! Communication, Value, Quality, and Tenacity: A glowing 5/5 stars from me! Thank you to Michelle, Eloy, and, of course to the owner- Christian!!! ------------------ I am at loss for words to describe how AMAZING Christian and his team is. From their responses, amicability, professionalism, and of course, the actual quality of their work, they passed my expectations with flying colors. Heck, they even went FAR above my expectations! I gotta stop raving and talk about the actual detail. You see, my baby is getting old. She's a 2008 Acura TSX that I acquired in 2012. She has normal wear and tear and, unfortunately, key marks from a**holes, which is extremely upsetting since the car color I have is considered somewhat rare. I am ashamed to admit that I've simply gotten lazy over the last few years and haven't bothered to deeply clean the interior. Since last month, it made me feel bad that I let my car "go," and I REALLY wanted to get it professionally detailed knowing I would feel so much better about myself and my car, specially since I've been pining on getting a brand new car when I can just spoil and treat my current one! So then I inquired with Finesse Auto Detailing due to their overwhelmingly positive Yelp reviews a few weeks ago. At that time, they offered me a different service and even some complimentary services based on the photos I showed of them of my car. However, I was not ready then; it was not until yesterday when I pulled the trigger. And boy, here I am, still coming off from my first auto detailing. They made me smile from ear to ear from start to finish. For instance, they accommodated me more times than any businesses I've worked with has: they offered and given me complimentary services, worked with me in terms of the location where the detailing would take place, and even gave me a ride home back to my condo! My car is super shiny; the carpet, leather, and other surfaces were deeply cleaned with shampoo (and I think even conditioned?)! It smells so good in my car and everything is so soft! All the years' worth of neglect that my car took is all gone including dirt and grime from the floor to the ceiling of my car and, most notably, the oxidation build up on my headlights. My car is now extremely clean that I could sell it in its condition, haha. The value of the work and quality for the price is truly unbeatable. I ended up going with the Interior Detail and I believe this is a great option for those that is willing to splurge some money but is still on a budget. Let's just say that if I could give them extra Yelp stars, I would in a heartbeat! Thank you again for the hundredth time! I am so happy I committed to this with Christian and his team. I will be requesting another service in the next 6 months because that's how GOOD my car looks like now!

    My husband and I purchased a gift card to Finesse as a gift for my in-laws. We really liked the fact that they are mobile and they were easy to reach by phone. Living out of the area, we found the whole process easy to navigate through their website. My in-laws were SO excited about this gift and were able to schedule an appointment pretty quickly. Finesse came out at 7am and the vehicle looks so good! My in-laws were really happy with the results. We wish we lived closer so we could also use this service!

    I just purchased a used Lexus...in amazing shape but headlights were yellowed and showed age. Christian did an amazing job and done within a half hour. He was courteous and even added some free ceramic coating protection and sage advice on retaining their gloss. I'd recommend Finesse and would use them again in a heartbeat.

    Waxed and cleaned exterior, looks better than I imagined.

    These guys were easy to talk to, they came on time and where I asked. They were quick and efficient and my car is 4 years old and looks brand new. It was covered in dog hair, sand and mud inside and had never been detailed before this I would definitely recommend these guys, 10/10 worth it.

    LOOKS BRAND NEW!

    Christians crew came out and did an full detail on my wifes 2017 Honda Civic today and NAILED IT! I couldn't believe how much more the color of the car POPS after they worked it over. Interior is sparkling and I'm happy! I've used these guys before and always do a really nice job. On time, friendly and they clean up the area like they weren't even there. OH, and on this detail, they even buffed out the headlights (I had already used a home kit to do, but they made them much better!)!!

    I recently contacted Christian because I was interested in ceramic coating for my Lexus ES350. The vehicle, which is black, also needed paint correction and polishing to remove dealer installed swirl marks from poor washing. From the moment I contacted Christian he was professional, courteous, and responsive to my questions. He was in the area (Chula Vista) and offered to take a look at the vehicle to give me some recommendations. In the end, Christian's work was impeccable. Now having seen his work, I can highly recommend him. Here are the reasons you should consider hiring him: 1) Work quality: Christian has great attention to detail and removed almost all swirl marks and scratches from my vehicle. He took a few days to perform the correction and polish to ensure it came out perfect. 2) Quality of products: He only used the best quality products. System X ceramic protection coating left my vehicle looking better than new. You get bang for your buck with a 6-year coating to keep your vehicle looking as good as possible, for as long as possible. He is a System X certified installer and he was recommend by the company after I contacted them by email. 3) Knowledge: I was interested in PPF for my front bumper, and he went out of his way to make some calls. He recommended Luxury Image in San Marcos and even tho it was a drive, Christian was looking out for me and got me a good price. Both the clear bra and the detailing work were performed at a professional garage and they coordinated their work so as to complete it in steps. For those seeking mobile detailing service, he does that too. 4) Honesty and value: I got the quality service I wanted at a great price. Christian honored his quote, helped me find a PPF installer, gave me great information on how to wash the vehicle without scratching, and offered to perform maintenance work for the coating. Price, value, and quality. It cannot be beat. If you are seeking a high quality, knowledgeable detailer--whether your cars worth 10k or 100k--Christian is your guy.

    Christian did a great job of removing the large amount of mold that was all over the interior of the car. We left it at the shop and he did great in communicating progress on how the car was being detailed. He went above and beyond to make sure every bit of mold and pet hair was removed.

    Got some splatters off the roof!

    Ask the Community - Finesse Auto Detail

    Do you do hand wash? And how much?

    It's a small operation, so they'll do whatever you want, but *just* a hand wash by itself may seem expensive. But maybe not so bad if you buy a few in advance?

After shopping around at a couple of other places, she decided to go with Car Stereo City. Emad is the man... he laid everything out. He presented several options, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the brands, the features, and so forth. It came down to a choice between Pioneer and Kenwood. She ended up going with the Kenwood. Emad explained what they would do and gave her a nice deal. He provided an estimate of how long the work would take, and it was actually completed a little earlier than expected. They kept the car clean, no trash or debris anywhere in sight, and nothing on the floor mats. The installation was nice and clean (see photo). Emad took the time to show her how everything worked and answered any/all questions she had. The shop itself is very easy to find (on Claremont Mesa Boulevard near the 163 freeway) and the show room is super clean. They have a lot of products laid out and you can ask for a demo. Overall, we had an excellent experience here. Service was exceptional and this shop is super clean with a huge selection of products. Whatever you need for your vehicle, they can do... security, audio, cameras (dash and backup), navigation, tinting, and more. They have a nice website with photo galleries and other information...

    I brought my new Lexus GX 550 in for the Ultimate Armour package (just under $5k)…read more Scheduling and drop-off were both straightforward and easy, so no complaints there. Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

It looks amazing and I'm glad they heard me out and gave me exquisite customer service.
