Pristine Mobile Detail is the best mobile detailing service in North County. To start, Michael is a stand up guy that will not sugarcoat the truth just to capture a job. If he says he can do something, he'll do it (and that includes being punctual to an appointment). Conversely, if you're asking for results that are beyond his means of delivery, he'll say that too (and in my case, had even to passed up the work to another local shop to make sure I was covered during my first call to him). This etiquette of honesty is unparalleled especially in the automotive industry (per my experience). I cannot comment on the pricing as his pricing seems to be on par with other detailers in the area - however, if you consider how much your time, and if you value that time to have a job done right the first time, and then you'll likely side with the fact that Michael's rates are well worth its weight in gold. Thanks to Pristine Mobile DetaiI, I now have a black Tacoma that probably looks better than it did when it was sold to me off the lot. Give him a call. You'll be happy you did. read more

Made an appointment on Friday for a interior detail early the next morning. Someone cancelled so he was actually able to come out same day. I was at work, the job he did was excellent, and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for efficiency. read more

Michael is very professional and explains services to be rendered in a clear manner without trying to up-sell. The quality of work is exceptional (and I'm very picky with my cars). I will only use him in the future. read more

This service is the BOMB!!! Michael is professional, prompt, and just a pleasure to do business with. My car thanks him for making her look her best. read more

I noticed that my paint felt a little "rough" albeit still had some shine to it. Knowing that it most likely required a clay bar application, I contacted Michael. My wife had previously used Michael and I had seen his mobile service in our neighborhood as well. He immediately answered the call, and was at my house within the hour. I had Michael do an exterior detailing, including a wash, clay bar and a ceramic polishing (not sealing... different process). He was extremely professional and I could not be happier with the results. Although Michael does not like to use this word, my SUV looked brand new. I plan on continuing to use Michael and look forward to a complete interior and exterior detailing. read more

Pristine Mobile Detail has done fantastic work on our vehicles. We drove across the country with four kids and a yellow lab in a Honda Odyssey. The vehicle was in bad shape, but looked like new after Michael was done with it. We have continued to rely on Michael to wash and detail our vehicles, and have always been completely satisfied. If you need a true professional to make your vehicle look new again, give Michael a call. read more

Excellent customer service! I'm selling my car, Michael was very helpful in walking me through the whys and hows of approaching the car prep for the sale. Much appreciated! read more

Had a really excellent car detail two days ago from Michael at Pristine Detail. I've had many over the years and this was far and away the best. Not cheap but great service never is. The cherry on the cake came when it rained the day after detail. Michael stopped by my house that night to touch up the car at no extra charge. This is the service you want for your fine autos. Michael can be reached at (760) 822-6363. read more

He did an awesome job detailing my Subaru, very knowledgeable when it comes to what products to use and cares about your car and the quality work of his work shows. Very satisfied and will be a continuous customer. read more

Fast response and schedule time. Mike is great. Friendly, fast and he does a great job and gives great advice. My car looks awesome and he brings the whole car detail shop to your driveway. AWESOME!!! read more

You get what you pay for. Michael was very thorough, on time, and my car looks like it did the day I bought it. Highly recommend!

Just had a detail for the first time! Very professional and great service! Love the hourly rate so he shampooed the carpets in our second car when detailing the first! Didn't need full detail on the second car. Car looks immaculate and very efficient. Very competitive price. read more

Michael is meticulous, very professional, and extremely thorough. Having 2 kids under 6, he had his worked cut out for him cleaning our cars, but I have to say, the cars look like new! We have used him 3 times now and I would definitely recommend! read more

Michael of Pristine is great. He arrived at my home within 15 minutes of talking to him. I had water leak and the dye from a peach M3 Post it note leaked on my passenger seat. Some black leaked as well. Michael is very knowledgeable and will try everything in his possession to get it out. Michael explained everything and although easily got the black out, was unable to get the peach dye out (not from lack of trying) and would not charge me. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for an honest guy. On top of that he is very nice as well. I will use him any time i need a detail guy and feel lucky to have found him. read more

I own a Ferrari, Cobra and several other expensive cars. I am super picky about who works on them. Yesterday was my first time using Michael, and he impressed me by doing a very thorough and excellent job. Plus, he uses top quality products, he didn't try to up-sell me, and he's a nice guy too. No, he is not cheap to hire, but he is worth what he charges. Especially if you have a really nice car, or just one that you like to take really great care of. In the future, he is the only detailer that I will use! read more

Michael is not cheap by any stretch but does a killer job to the point that a basic car wash is as good as other places do a detail! I have a new Jeep and he gave me great advice to keep the paint in good condition, long term. He doesn't miss a spec! I highly recommend him if you want it done right the first time. read more

Michael did a great job on my 4 years old car. Got quote over the phone, appointment was set within 2 days. Michael came to my place, did a great job on exterior and interior and car looks like new again. If you are looking for great, reliable and fast service, give Michael a call. It is worth it. read more

Awesome job by Pristine! Michael knows his stuff and cares about the quality and attention to detail that you want! Mike - Encinitas read more

To start, I needed some cleaning done within my car. Michael is who I called and he gave me some amazing advice. He really explained what I should expect, in detail, and gave me some advice before moving forward. He didn't even see my car, he just helped me out! I really appreciated the time that he gave me. Very professional and extremely friendly :) read more

Michael is the best! He is a meticulous and hard worker. He is professional and never tries to upsell. We have several high end cars and I will not trust anyone else to care for them. He is even willing to come by free of charge to touch up my cars if they get caught in the rain after he cleans them. read more

I couldn't possibly give this company enough praise. After sifting through tons of local detailers I lucked out with Pristine and not only got great service and rid my car of its former owner's disgusting cigarrette smell, but it was all taken care of in a few hours the same day I called. All I ever hear about auto detailers is that they are flakey and unreliable, therefore I feel extremely lucky that I finally found the exception to the rule. The personal and informative website got me to pick up the phone and I couldn't be happier that I did. Thanks!!! read more

Absolutely the worst. Took business calls while doing the job, was very late, missed apparent areas, charged an enormous price for the work. Buyer BE WARE!!!! The photos shown are not the work you will receive. read more

Michael is amazing. He arrived for a same-day appointment and made my Mercedes shine! I asked him if he could also give my fiancee's car a quick wash. He detailed the exterior, but not wanting to leave a job unfinished, Michael came back the following day to finish the interior. He is knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with concerning schedules and cost. We will certainly use him again and would recommend his service to anyone. Thanks Michael for making our cars look better than new! read more

Michael has been keeping our cars looking like new for over three years. He truly loves his work and is an artist in world of auto detailing ~ On time, takes his time, friendly, and professional. Detail or wash, we recommend Michael without hesitation! read more

I have used Pristine 3 times and have been very happy with the outcome. Michael is prompt, friendly, professional and really makes your car shine. I highly recommend him. read more

Michael was phenomenal. Gave my Ford Edge the best cleaning I've ever seen, as it really needed it after sitting outside the last 4 months. The entire process was ultra professional and smooth, and I would recommend to anybody looking for a thorough wash or detail. read more

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Michael for rescuing my Mom car last minute. I had to get out of town on a business trip last minute and hand my car over to my husband for a week. I only purchased my car new 4 months earlier. I did not want my husband to lecture me about not caring for my cars interior and needed a quick miracle. I pulled up my yelp app on the way to work and checked out about 3 mobile detailers. Michael retuned my call within minutes and luckily had time for me the same day. My car war retuned to me unrecognizable!! Thank you so much for your flexibility and skill and for making my ride so much more enjoyable. Five starts for sure! read more

Michael does beautiful work, takes time to educate about best car care, and to follow up on the work he did. I was so pleased to see my car gleam again. High recommendation read more

The first time I used him I had a good experience. However, this last time was a total joke. He completely missed two compartments in my center console that we're still dirty. There was also water spots on my chrome wheels. For $300+ dollars I would expect my vehicle to be completely...well, pristine! I went to a local place and had it detailed for under $100 and it looks brand new! read more

Michael was extremely professional and easy to do business with. He was willing to detail my car wherever was most convenient for me, was flexible around my schedule and did it all with a smile. My car looks beautiful and brand new again! read more

All I can say is WOW! My car was filthy inside and out and full of dog hair, stains from the dog, and scratches. When Michael finished his complete detail on my car it looked like it had just came off of the showroom floor! I just couldn't believe it. Michael was personable, professional and right on time. I would totally recommended his services!!! read more

Michael is a lifesaver! I spilled a large coffee all over my front seat, steering wheel, driver's side door and floor mat. The stain was large, dark, sticky and the smell of coffee completely overwhelming. I called him and he was at my house within the hour and did a very thorough shampoo on the entire area. The stain in completely gone as is the odor. Michael is very personable and highly professional. Thank you Michael! read more

The quick response as well as the timely willingness to detail our SUV was amazing. Michael did an amazing job in the timer quoted and had everything he needed. I would recommend Michael and his company with no hesitation read more

Michael did a phenomenal job detailing my metallic black paint that had been damaged with swirl marks from another detail shop. He was able to schedule me right away, was flexible and met me right on time. After polishing my truck he walked me through some detailing tips to make sure I didn't leave my own swirl marks when washing it in the future. Michael stands by his work and if you see a spot he missed he'll come back and fix it, no questions asked. With Michael you get what you pay for, he's a professional and I highly recommend him. read more

Such a great find on yelp! Michael has a vast knowledge of his craft and makes me feel comfortable with what I don't know about picking a mobile detailer. He truly does do a pristine job and stays true to his word. read more

I rarely write reviews and when I do I tend to be more critical of the product of service, well here's to an exception to that rule. I had an outstanding experience with Michael. Professional, friendly, on time (and under budget), a rare mix for sure. My BMW looks as good as it did when I drove it off the lot. Great job Michael, thank you. read more

The best way I can describe Michael is top notch. And my truck looks in mint condition. This guy is the best out there.

Michael is the only person I trust when it comes to maintaining the exterior and interior of my 2016 Lexus NX 200t. He is meticulous, knowledgeable, and professional. So glad I found him on Yelp. read more

I had excellent service on some hard water spots. Mike was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I did my research, found Mike and would recommend again. read more

Let me tell you about the kind of guy that Michael is...I drove my husband's BRAND NEW car less than a week after he bought it and managed to spill leftovers in the front passenger seat. Grease stains on tan interior. UGH! I was freaking out. I called Michael (after hours) expecting to get a voicemail. Instead he actually answered the phone, and even though he had a full day scheduled the following day he agreed to meet me early in the morning because the longer the stain waits, the worse it would get. He was so nice and told me honestly that grease on a cloth tan interior might not completely come out. He made the stain MUCH lighter (you can hardly see it) and then, get this, since it didn't completely come out, he didn't charge me. I mean, who does that? Such a great guy - when the new car needs a detail I will definitely be bringing it back to him. My husband hardly noticed the stain, so I managed to live another day. lol :-) read more
