I took my Lexus in to get detailed here. Jim is absolutely amazing. When I say he knows what his is doing it's an understatement. Many detailers will fly through a car just applying the wax and buffing. Jim actually did it at the right speed, covering the right amount with wax at the right speeds. He went through 2 different types of compound and got every scratch out of the car. He spent more than 1 day on my car and didn't charge me anything extra. I felt like I definitely got my monies worth. Ive used Mobile Detailing people before, but they don't come close to the attention to detailing of a place where you drop your car off. I wish I could post before and after pictures on here...it's absolutely insane the scratches he go out of my black lexus. I didn't even think it could look this good! If you care fore a really quality job he's your guy. The owner actually does the detailing and has been doing it for 25 yrs, comes from NJ where they all know how to detail a car right! My car was painted before and the previous person didn't even buff the area out right, jim fixed all the overspray and left over residue in the door jambs, One of the best detailing jobs I've gotten and will definitely be recommending him to all my friends! read more

Years of carpooling left many marks on my car, from the snacks eaten and spilled in the back seat to the mascara stains the teenagers left on the ceiling and the unclaimed stains that I really don't want to know about. The carpooling is done and I brought the car to Jim. The transformation almost made me feel like I was in my 20's again. Every part of the car - tires, trunk, floor mats, steering column, the area behind the backseat headrest - everything was clean. He must have some secret formulas for removing the mystery stains because they were gone. The car is so clean my now mostly grown children are keeping it clean out of respect and awe. They can't remember when it use to look this way. The car looks and feels new. My husband, a car geek home-garage motorhead of 50+ years who got into cars in the early 60's restoring a Model A with his father, said he has never seen a detail job of this quality. He has resolved to bring all of our current and future cars to Jim, and has insisted all our offspring do the same. And check out is paraphernalia and art collection in Jim's office! read more

If the results and service I received are the norm, then the name of this business is no exageration. I could not believe how good my car looked when i went to pick it up from Jim's shop. In fact, I'd name it Beyond Perfection Auto Detailing. It was like when you see people on those cable shows where they make over a house before the owner puts it on the market, and all the sudden the owner doesn't want to sell it any more because it looks better than the whole time they lived in it. The carpets are spotless, the stainless trim gleams with no spots, the wheels, which had brown spots on the chrome, now look practically new, the paint sparkles (including a patch that the original painters had never buffed out. I didn't even point it out to him, but it's shiny now), and the interior is cleaner than I think it has ever been. Anyway, no exageration is necessary here. I thought the price was fair going in, but when I saw the results, I definitely received more than I paid for. Aside from that, Jim is professional and polite, and it's clear he takes pride in a job well done. read more

I took my car in to see Jim after three and a half years of unkempt college life. I was simply praying that he could make it look like something a grown up drives. I was amazed. He made the entire car look brand new. I am not exaggerating - I am the kind of guy who hang dries his t shirts to avoid pilling, and this just made my week. For a rate cheaper than some of the "super car washes" Perfection Auto will find, and clean, places in your car you previously did not know about. Concrete Details: The buttons on my radio. The side pockets are not just hastily vaccuumed, but truly clean He even worked to successfully remove paint from my windshield where someone dinged my car. Not to mention, anything you lost between a seat months ago will be preserved in a plastic bag, just in case. Jim is extremely courteous and responsive - he worked aroundy scheduling and was friendly and helpful throughout. He's one of those guys who makes Austin a better place. If you value your car, and the investment you are making in detailing it, go see Perfection Auto. read more

I am a huge fan of Jim and Perfection Auto Detailing and it's simple to describe why. When you bring your car to a large shop, they sell you some wash package and then have you pick from some ridiculously over-priced list of detailing services that they bang out in a couple of hours. I have gotten my cars back from these places with tree sap and scuff marks just waxed over and every part of my car that wasn't easily visible still coated in dirt. Not with Perfection. For a full detail, Jim takes ONE CAR A DAY and spends the whole day doing absolutely everything - if you've got tree sap or over-spray or god knows what on your car, he'll clay bar it, buff it out, whatever it takes. Every surface will be spotless, and every nook and cranny will be clean. Simply put, he cares - you can see his face beaming with pride when you pick up your car and it's always flawless work. I take my new daily drivers as well as my cherished classic cars here and I always recommend Perfection to anyone I know looking for a great detailer. Just awesome. read more

My 10 year old car looks and feels new. I was actually considering getting a newer car because mine is older and was looking so shabby inside and out, before I decided to come here for the inside and outside detailing. It is literally amazing. My car feels, looks and smells new and I really can't believe it. This is my first ever yelp review, and I hope that it will help some people who are feeling like their car is beyond help, just because of how it looks. Bring it to Jim, who is extremely nice and so talented at this, and see how you feel after he is finished. I am so impressed by what he did to my car. The outside is beautiful, and the inside is a complete transformation. All the little hard to reach and see places are clean. My car sparkles now and I hope that I can keep it this way for awhile. It is convenient if you are South and really worth the drive if you are not. This was such a great investment to me, as I no longer feel, at all, like I need to consider a newer car. read more

I've lived in Austin for four years and my BMW M3 has never been properly cleaned and detailed in that time -- despite many attempts to find a quality service. Perfection Auto has ended my search for someone committed to making my car look as good as new. Not only did Jim deliver the best detail I've seen since I left Seattle, but he was genuine, personable and dependable. Not only was he ready to greet me by name when I dropped off my car (even though my husband had actually done the scheduling), he gave us a recommendation for a BMW mechanic, chatted with me while my husband fetched cash to pay (no cards, BTW), and had a Matchbox car to give our three-year-old son! I am beyond pleased with the job Jim did on my car and with my overall experience. Whether you have a flashy ride or a humble beater, Jim will treat you right. Don't waste your money on any of the other second-rate services -- just schedule your appointment with Jim. read more

I have an old 40 year old Volvo which i decided to treat to a detail. A few months back I was looking for a place that could do some automotive upholstery and I ended up calling Jim who told me about a great place that ended up giving me a great deal... so I decided I would take my car to Jim for a detail... He did a fantastic job. He made my 40 year old carpets look like they were only 10 years old. At one point I sat down with some bar keepers friend and spent an hour trying to remove all the rust from my hubcaps... nothin. But once I got my car back from Jim there was not a spot of rust on any of them. And to be perfectly honest I had called a few other places about a detail only to find them appallingly expensive. I was treated well at Perfection Auto Detail and I plan to go back when I want to treat my car again. read more

I called Jim at Perfection Auto Detailing and set up an appointment. Jim was super friendly and accommodating. When I went to pick up my car I was honestly totally blown away. The high gloss on the paint looked like the day the car was purchased! After closer inspection, I noticed that every door jam, every crack, and every space on the car had been cleaned and waxed. The interior was equally as impressive. All the door panels, dash, etc. looked totally brand new. The money I spent was worth every penny! Jim is a rare kind of detailer. He actually spent the time on my car as if it were his own. If anyone is looking for a detailer who is "the best" then I strongly urge you to call Perfection Auto Detailing. Amazing work! read more

My girlfriend and I took our ridiculously dirty Infiniti SUV In to see Jim. He is a very nice guy, took great care of us, and the car looked as good as new. Even the exterior blemishes were harder to notice. Needless to say we were very impressed. My brother has been in the car business for 10 years, and even he was very pleased. Mind you, it takes a lot to convince my brother that anything has been done right when it comes to vehicles. Jim's attention to detail and thoroughness is very much appreciated. You really get what you pay for. We are late to write this review, but have been reminded seeing how as we are taking our Civic in there on Wednesday. He has our business, I can't see any reason he shouldn't have yours. read more

After months of letting my daily and my classic devolve into greasy, dirty chaos, made a quick trip back to Jim and, yup, he's just as AMAZING as he was the first time around! He also showed me how completely repulsive my headlights had become -- they were filmy, yellowing, and it was no wonder I was having a hard time seeing at night. He's offering a new service, doing "headlight restoration," and after seeing a sample of his work, I was absolutely sold! I can now see at night, and my headlights look brand spankin' new! Jim is the ONLY person I trust either of my cars to here in Austin! read more

I took my wife's 2007 Audi Q7 to Jim for a thorough interior cleaning and the whole car now looks almost brand new. He did a fantastic job of cleaning out several years worth of small children destruction in the back seats and even got all the stains out of the carpets. He apologized for not getting the floor mats as clean but frankly it was so dirty that I was almost too embarrassed to leave it with him in the first place. On the outside, every single nick and scuff was gone and the car looks amazing. I highly recommend Perfection Auto Detail and hope that you will do the same. read more

I used to refer to my car as a "CrumbPost Pile." My car had gotten so dirty that my husband refused to drive it. To make matters worse, I had a dying cat urinate on the seat as we were heading to the vet. As you can imagine riding in my car was very unpleasant. Let's not forget the vomit from kids having suddenly gotten a stomach bug, yuck. This is no longer the case. Jim is incredible!!! When he returned my car it looked new. He is trusty worthy and fastidious. I'm proud of my car and no longer embarrassed to give anyone a ride. Give Jim a call, you won't regret. read more

I recently bought a used car and YIKES did it smell like someone else's dirty dogs. I called several car detailing people around town and while they were all similarly priced, not a single one sounded professional. Jim answered the phone like a business should, was polite and I loved when he said he was a perfectionist. He wasn't kidding! I just wanted the seats clean but he did everything in the interior even the ceiling! The dog smell was gone!! He was fantastic and I recommend him constantly. If you want a clean car - Jim is the man to see. read more

I just recently moved to Austin, Jim is the first place I've had my car detailed and I will NEVER go anywhere else, no lie, this guy takes pride in his job, and that is something very few shops can offer, my 06 GTO has never looked as good as It did today when I picked it up from his shop. You get way more than what you pay for with this guy! Phenomenal is an understatement of how incredible his work is. I have many cars and friends and I will send every single one of them his way. Thank you Jim! read more

Believe the other reviews- this guy is an artist. The interior of my 96 Jeep had never been cleaned beyond the complimentary vacuum they give you at Jiffy Lube. After a latte spilled on floor made the whole car smell like decay, I was forced to finally address the situation. WOW is all I can say. The car looks amazing and the putrid dairy smell is gone. Of course there were some stains that wouldn't come out but given the age/condition of my Jeep- I was totally impressed. read more

The owner did an AMAZING job on my Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I have a six year old and my back seats were filthy. (Sad to admit) But there were some deep stains that I thought would never come out. I scheduled an appointment about two months ago (because I read the awesome reviews, I decided to wait), and it was worth it! The inside of my car looks factory new and I was very pleased with his service. He even got those yucky stains out. I definitely think the wait is worth it! read more

We took our Honda Pilot to Jim to remove white paint splattered on the right side tires, splash guards, and quarter panel. I was not optimistic because the paint had been on there for a while and I had not been able to remove a single speck, even by scaping it to the point of marring the vehicles paint. Lo and behold, the car came back looking like nothing had happened except a professional detail job. I believe I will entrust my Vette to Jim to make it pop. read more

My minivan was somewhat less than pristine after years of hauling 5 children and their stuff around. It takes someone very, very thorough to clean up years worth of kid rubble/goo and lingering mysterious odors and make a minivan seem really pleasant again, but Jim from Perfection Auto Detailing did it! It's like new inside! And he did it with charming customer service and a reasonable price too. I've never had a van detailed before, but I am now hooked! read more
