    At first, I was very reluctant about the company. I did a few searches regarding the company. The company had good reviews, 5 stars on Yelp, and customers were impressed and satisfied with their service. I called the company for an appointment, within a few minutes, a text conversation of vehicle information such as paint conditions, year, make, etc. and afterwards, I was given a good price, name of product used, and offered a windshield protection since I'm a veteran. I am very pleased with the service provided. I was given instructions how to clean the vehicle after the Ceramic Coating. I recommend for anyone who is looking for reasonable priced vehicle paint detailing.

    We had our BMW 750i xDrive ceramic coated by Fernando recently and he did great job. We were super happy with the results and the car looks great. Not only that, but Fernando is a super friendly, down to earth person who is passionate about his craft. Support small local business

    Fernando was amazing through every step of the process. He communicated upfront exactly what he will be doing in regards to his Ceramic Protection Process. Easy to talk with and answered all my questions in great detail. He picked up our car and went over again all of his services. One day later he brought back our car. See for yourself in the photos he sent us to let us know it was done. It feels and looks amazing. I highly recommend his services.

    This was my first professional detail, ever... and I am glad I chose Ridin' Clean Auto Detailing. It started off with a phone call from Fernando to go over some details about my car and its current condition. Then he went over the details of the ceramic detail package and additional services. I chose the ceramic package + interior cleaning, ceramic wheels, and polish wheel lips. My trunk had many scratches and residue due to removing the spoiler when I removed it to send off to paint. Fernando spent almost 2 hours taking off as much as he could and he didn't charge me extra... Seriously? What a guy! Anyways, the results shows in the finish of the car. You got a customer for life. Thank you!

    Rarely write reviews but I had to take a min to compliment Fernando on the excellent customer service! I requested to have my vehicle detailed and ended up going with a full ceramic coating service based on how knowledgeable and friendly he was. He really pays attention to detail and communication during the whole process was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Fernando for all of your auto detailing needs, he's awesome and the value of his prices are great. He's definitely earned my business and has moved up to my #1 spot for anything auto detail related!

    Great experience overall with Ridin' Clean! I needed two cars detailed and Fernando was great every step of the way. Was quick and clear with his communication for pricing and scheduling, even helped adjust the date when I incorrectly chose the wrong one. He arrived on time, and took the time to provide a consultation. We even worked out a deal on the detail for both cars, and the additional services I ended up adding. Really good value for a detail, clay bar wax, and deep cleaning for my seats! In the end, my car looks great! Like it's back to brand new. Thanks Fernando, I'm back to ridin' clean!

    I'm genuinely disappointed to be writing this review because I previously trusted this company…read moreafter having a great experience with my first vehicle. When I purchased a new car, I immediately came back for a full front PPF and ceramic coating package. I was quoted a 2-day turnaround and promised regular updates, but communication quickly became inconsistent. After multiple delays, excuses, and missed deadlines, responsibility for my vehicle was passed between employees without clear communication. I was eventually offered a complimentary full-body PPF for the inconvenience, but despite agreeing on several deadlines, the work was never completed. One employee completely stopped responding to my calls and texts, and I later found out he was no longer with the company without my knowledge. At this point, my vehicle still does not have the promised PPF installed, the interior ceramic coating was never done, and the exterior ceramic coating wasn't even completed properly. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism throughout this process has completely destroyed my trust in the company. I'm honestly at a loss for words. UPDATE: Danny eventually got back in contact with me and finally completed the PPF work on my vehicle. Unfortunately, the quality of the install was terrible. I brought the car to multiple reputable PPF shops for inspection and received the same feedback from every single one. Several shops told me it was one of the worst PPF installations they had seen. They also pointed out that my clear coat is now lifting, and warned me that removing the PPF from my bumper will very likely peel the paint completely off, meaning I may now need to have my bumper repainted. After everything I went through with the delays, broken promises, lack of communication, and being completely ghosted, I'm now potentially dealing with paint damage caused by the improper installation itself. I have completely lost trust in this company and am extremely disappointed with how this entire situation was handled. I asked for a refund and he is purposely ignoring my messages, I don't think he realizes that I can see when he reads my messages. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THIS COMPANY PLEASE!!!

What also stood out is that they're using a legitimate professional system, not off-the-shelf products, and applying it properly.

    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.

There are too many other choices in San Diego County and this one needs to be avoided. It all starts with first impressions as a new customer. Even though the online booking time was convenient, the manager, Alex, clearly does not care about your business. There is a "comments" box in the online booking process that was completely ignored with my question. The detailer was late to my appointment. Time means money and they don't care about wasting your time. The work vehicle was trashed when it showed up. Dents all over the place, door molding hanging outside the door. Invest some money and take all those dents out. It gives a bad look like they don't care. Before the work was started I was verbally told it would be an extra $45 for all of the work with some stubborn stains. Okay I understood, the car's interior was quite dirty. After working four hours on the car, the stains are still there. None of the ones on the seats and the carpet floor were removed. He tried was his answer and then asked me how long have I had the car. How is that relevant for the work performed? It is none of their business. Training is an issue obviously. On their website they claim "superior customer experience." Not so much. "Real time updates" during the four hours did not happen once. "Follow up care with maintenance recommendations" was non existent. The recommendations given was to keep the windows down because it still was wet inside. They couldn't dry the vehicle first? Yeah keep the windows down so all the dust flies in - so smart of them. At the end of the appointment I requested an invoice for their work. No was their answer but if you pay by credit card and pay the 4%+ surcharge, we can do it for you. What? That makes no sense. Their other payment options are cash, Venmo or Zelle. For a company that is detailer certified I am disappointed. Yes they are certified - certified waste of time. Take your business elsewhere.
