    Clean car and a beautiful girl riding shotgun

    The Melvin crew did a great job on both our cars. Their operation is self-contained and they bring water and power with them. They also removed our HOV stickers from our EV SUV at a small additional cost.

    SO WORTH IT. Came right to my house first thing in the morning. My 2013 Toyota Avalon hybrid needed some love. I got the 4-6 year ceramic and it looks brand new. I plan to drive this car for another 10 years and now it looks fabulous again. Definitely recommend.

    I had a great experience. Rod was super responsive and answered all questions I had about pricing and detailing services. I had to change locations last minute and they were on top of it with that change. My detailer (Alberto) was so kind and did the job well. I had some issues with the way my drivers seat dried and Alberto was quick to come back and find a time to fix the stain for me. Overall a pleasant experience. I would recommend if you want an affordable detail.

    They didn't do auto detailing, like they said they will. I tried contacting the owner via yelp but there is no solution. I was trying to resolve this manner with the owner Rodd with options, but he didn't give me options. He just gave me what he wanted. Of course my vehicle wasn't in good conditions. That's why I wanted a detailed interior with the seats, especially the rear seat washed. When you get the price and you specify what that price includes, you expect that that service to be done. Even though one of the workers who came here, he told me I'm gonna do what they told me to do regardless of what Ron said. Yes, my vehicle wasn't clean. That's why I wanted a detail cleaning interior with the backseat. Give your customers options whenever your workers don't do the job right. And why will they wanna come back for free? If you do it right the first time you have to come back

    After passenger seat

    In December 2025 I had a fall that broke my legs and then had complications that kept me in hospitals and care homes until end of March 2026. Unfortunately I had groceries and damp dog urine soaked laundry in my 2020 Rav4 that sat for over a month before a friend was able to remove them but by then interior was moldy all over and the smell was horrific. The car then sat empty for another couple of months. After explaining all this to Melvin and sharing photos Melvin said he could help me and explained the process for remediation of mold and smells. Other mobile auto detailing bids didn't respond with in depth detail or didn't respond at all. Communication was timely and thorough as he explained what the cost would be. Today one of his team came to my house and did an EXCELLENT job!! It was worth every penny to bring my car back to usable condition. I'm very glad I chose Melvin Auto Detailing and plan to use thier regular services to maintain my car.

    Came 1 hour late. Finished interior detail with shampoo in 30 minutes. Did not have great attention to detail. I could have done better myself.

    I may be the most frugal person in San Diego, and it wasn't cheap - we got the interior detailing and the hand wash exterior.

I got a…read moresuper shine wash for $21 and while it cleaned my very dirty car, there were some significant spots left behind. The process was really smooth and easy, but for $21 I was hoping for a bit more shine! I will definitely return though since it's so convenient, the workers are really nice, & it's located close to me.

But during my most recent visit, I arrived about 15 minutes before closing after a long road trip, only to have the vacuums shut off exactly at 8 PM and the nearby canisters dump their contents into the dumpsters. The sudden cloud of dust covered the front of my freshly washed car, undoing all the work I had just put in. I hadn't even started vacuuming yet, and the staff didn't seem interested in addressing the situation beyond repeating their closing script. It was disappointing because in the past, arriving shortly before closing was never an issue, and the vacuums stayed on long enough to finish the job. This time, the experience felt rushed and dismissive, which isn't what I expect from a place I visit regularly. They actively made my car dirtier, and now I have to carve out more time on a different day to finish what should've been a simple wash.
