    2004 Toyota Tacoma pick up truck

    Very pleased to have 2004 truck detailed for a friend. Richard spent several hours getting what looked very old & tired into a "New Shiny Dime" ! I would highly recommend: Richard's Mobile Magic Auto Detailing David

    Fully cleaned car.

    I had a yellowing stain on interior leather that wouldn't go away. Called Richard and he came out and within just a few minutes it was gone. He offered to go ahead and give it a good wash since he was here and the car looked batter than when I drove it off the lot. Highly recommended

    clean clean car thank you Richard!

    Certainly, I'd be happy to help you rephrase it. How about this: Richard unquestionably stands out as the absolute best. When I had a last-minute detail to attend to before my important date, he not only came through but also dedicated an entire day in the sun to take care of it. I'm immensely grateful for his outstanding work. He really brings great value when it comes to his work. Thanks Again

    Haven't detailed my car in a couple years and Richard made it look as beautiful as the day I got it. Great price and great communication. He did my interior, exterior and restored my headlights to their former glory. Highly recommend!

    Richard did a fantastic job on our vehicle. We searched around online for a mobile wash and decided to use his services. He responded promptly to our home and completed the wash in our driveway. His rates were very reasonable. We'll definitely be using him again.

    Ran over some street paint that was yellow on one side and white on the other side

    See all

    My girlfriend comes here regularly to get her car cleaned, and since I hadn't had mine…read moreprofessionally cleaned in a couple of years, I was actually really excited to try it out. First thing to note--this place is easy to miss. I embarrassingly drove right past the entrance the first time because it's a pretty small opening and hard to spot if you're going even a little fast. Had to loop around the block and try again. Also, there's only space for about two cars to queue before you're basically spilling into the street. My girlfriend and I parked one behind the other, and honestly, another car behind us would've been halfway in the road. There is street parking nearby though if their little alcove is full. When we pulled in, there was a ton of activity--cars constantly moving through, getting cleaned, etc.--so it's clearly a popular spot. My girlfriend mentioned there have been times she's come and had to leave because the line was backed up into the street, so I think we got pretty lucky timing-wise. Price-wise, I think it's solid. For an exterior wash + interior clean, it felt reasonable. Since we came together, I think they held our cars to finish around the same time, so it ended up taking about 1-1.5 hours. Honestly not bad, especially since there are a bunch of cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you want to kill time. They also have a really nice waiting area--I even saw someone working on their laptop, so I'm guessing they might have Wi-Fi too. Now... my one big issue. They threw away my parking sticker. You know those apartment gate stickers that automatically open the gate? I had mine on my dashboard (still on the original backing because I sometimes lend it to friends who watch my cats). I get that it might not have been in the usual spot, but it very clearly wasn't trash. What made it more confusing is that they didn't even fully clear out small trash in my car--there were still a couple random paper/sticker backing pieces left behind, so it's not like they were just tossing everything indiscriminately. Also, for context--my car was clean going in. I don't keep stuff in my car beyond a reusable grocery bag or my tennis bag sometimes, and this was one of the rare times I even had a little bit of trash. So I don't think this was a situation where my car was cluttered and something got accidentally swept up in a bigger cleanup. That part was honestly frustrating. Overall, I would come back because they did a good job cleaning the car and the price is fair--but I'd definitely make sure to remove anything remotely important beforehand so there's no confusion next time.

    I rarely take my cars to get a car wash since I prefer to do it myself. However, when I do decide…read moreto let someone else do the job, I only go to Ultimate Custom Car Care. It has been over a decade since I've been coming to this place for my car washes and ceramic coating. They do a solid job and the prices are good for the quality you get. Everyone here is friendly and efficient. Steve, the owner, is great to work with and used to man the front of the house here. However, I've noticed that he's not always here and he has someone else taking care of the phone calls and checking in. All in all, great service from everyone. Prices are up-to-date on their website, which I appreciate. They have a really small area to park your car into their garage for the wash, so be mindful of the limited space when you come during busy times.

    I recently took my car to Unique Car Wash and Detailing and I am absolutely blown away by the…read moreresults. From the moment I pulled in, the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. First off, the attention to detail is unreal. I thought my car was "pretty clean" before -- I was wrong. They made it look BETTER than the day I drove it off the lot. The paint was glossy and smooth, the wheels were spotless, and somehow they even got rid of little interior stains I had completely given up on. Every surface inside felt fresh and restored without that overpowering chemical smell some places leave behind. What really stood out was how thorough they were. They didn't rush the job. They treated my car like it was their own -- carefully, meticulously, and with real pride. You can tell this isn't just a quick in-and-out wash spot; this is true detailing. Customer service was also top-tier. They explained the services clearly, didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Pricing felt more than fair for the level of quality and care they provide. If you're in Costa Mesa (or honestly anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and bring your car here. Whether you need a quick refresh or a full detail transformation, this is the place. My car has never looked this good -- and I'll absolutely be back.

    I went to drop off my car. Initially went because I wanted the interior deep cleaned but exterior…read morejust a standard wash, but I got upsold to do a full interior and exterior wash + detail for $185, then was provided a discount on this price. Picked up the car and didn't think anything of it, didn't inspect the paint too closely because I assumed by the high reviews I'd be fine and taken care of. After going to fill gas at Costco the next day, under their great lighting, I noticed that my paint had swirls in it. Then I opened the gas cap and saw layer of dirt on the cap area. I've only had the car washed twice in its life (new car) and it was both done by Unique Car Wash, so there's no way it was done elsewhere, and even if it was, a wax should have taken care of the swirls by filling the scratches. This is probably the result of the place not doing a proper 2 step wash, using dirty microfiber towels and not even waxing the car. Other places offered the same service for $150 and offer claybar, wax, and other services. So I paid for a high end service, received a mediocre interior and exterior cleaning, and swirls in my paint. Don't recommend going here if you actually care about your cars paint, and if you want quality work done for a good price. Might as well take it to a drive through wash.

    Orange Hand Car Wash is still the best hand wash I've been able to find in the area. Though I will…read moresay, the prices have gone way up and I don't come as often as I used to. It's just too expensive. However if you can afford it, as the name indicates, everything here is done by hand. This is important when it comes to car washes, as the process allows for greater attention to detail and an overall superior result. Mechanical car washes tend to be indiscriminate and rough. Plus if you have a really expensive car you would not want it getting messed up by a machine and this is the solution to that issue. If you have specialty paint, or your vehicle is unusual in some way, this is also a good option. I've seen all sorts of different cars here from huge trucks to lowered vehicles. They offer the full range of standard car wash services from basic car washes, to detailing and waxing, to headlight restoration. They also have a ceramic coating treatment which I have been considering.

    I paid for the most expensive option -- the "Executive Wash" -- expecting quality service, and…read moreinstead I got the opposite. I specifically asked for no interior dressing, yet the inside is so greasy it looks worse than before. The dashboard and surfaces are slick like a teenager's forehead. The exterior isn't any better. The roof is covered in streaks, and there's an entire section of the car that looks like it was barely touched. For the price charged, this level of work is honestly unacceptable. Please do better. If you're charging premium prices, the results should actually reflect it.

On the day of the incident, the supervisor informed us that we could return the following day between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM to review the security camera footage with the owner ("Jimi"). When we returned at approximately 10:30 AM, we were told that the owner had just left. The supervisor then showed us, on his phone, a screenshot from the security camera footage clearly showing the vehicle prior to entering the car wash tunnel, without any windshield damage. The supervisor subsequently contacted the owner and informed us that he would be on-site on Saturday, May 2, 2026, between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, at which time we would be able to review the full security footage together. For the record, the vehicle was delivered to your facility without any windshield damage, and the damage was identified immediately after the service was completed. I look forward to reviewing the footage and resolving this matter promptly, including repair or replacement of the windshield, or reimbursement of the associated costs. Regards, Jose Luis C.

    1 Star - Extremely Disappointing Service and Poor Handling of DAMAGE Claim…read more I went to Bristol Car Wash and had a terrible experience from start to finish. First, the car wash itself was poorly done. The exterior had visible water spots all over the windows and dashboard, and the interior cleaning was unacceptable. The inside windows were left with spots and there was water actively dripping down the glass when I got into the car. This alone would have been frustrating, but the situation became much worse. More importantly, my brand new 2025 Honda Prologue (less than two weeks old) was scratched next to the door during the wash. The damage was never mentioned to me by staff. I discovered it myself afterward and brought it to their attention. I spoke with the assistant manager, who had me fill out very questionable paperwork for a claim (some parts i refused to fill out) , but no refund was offered for the wash, even after reporting damage to a brand-new vehicle. I then went to Fountain Valley Collision for a preliminary assessment, and the estimated repair cost is $800-$1,000. While at Bristol Car Wash, it was obvious the facility was understaffed and overwhelmed. Cars were stacked up, employees were rushing, and at several points it looked like vehicles were about to hit each other. One employee kept running back and forth moving cars in a panic just to prevent collisions. This environment clearly led to careless handling. What made this situation worse was how Bristol Car Wash handled the follow-up after almost 2 weeks. Their response claimed: * The damage was already present before entering the wash * That their "100% hand wash" process makes this type of damage impossible * That the water spots were caused by hard water from sprinklers * This explanation is misleading and dismissive. My car is always parked inside my garage, not outside near sprinklers. The hard-water claim conveniently ignores this fact. Additionally, stating that damage is "impossible" during a hand wash is unrealistic--human error is exactly how damage does happen, especially when staff are rushed and understaffed. Offering two complimentary car washes in response to nearly $1,000 in damage is insulting, not a goodwill gesture. Their response shifts blame instead of taking accountability and completely avoids addressing the chaotic conditions I witnessed during service. I trusted Bristol Car Wash with a brand-new vehicle and left with poor cleaning, physical damage, and a dismissive response that blamed everything except their own operation. Overall, this experience shows poor quality control, lack of transparency, and an unwillingness to take responsibility when something goes wrong. I would not trust Bristol Car Wash with a new or well-maintained vehicle, and I strongly caution others to inspect their cars very carefully before leaving--if you choose to go at all. If you value your car--especially a new one--I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This experience was unacceptable.
