I got my old car detailed in the spring and David did a fantastic job! Although the car was 11 years old, it looked showroom ready when I went to pick it up. I didn't realize how dirty the seats had gotten from hauling my senior dog around because I vacuumed the car once a week and thought I had kept them clean. They were practically a different color because of all the dirt David had gotten out of them. I was very pleased with the work that was done, especially for the price! Now that I have my new (to me) car, I am planning on returning to The Detail Doctor to have him clean this UPDATE: David cleaned my new (to me) which had a strong smell of cigarette smoke & some other unidentified horrible smell. It looks wonderful & there is no more smell. He used his ozone machine on it & said if the smell came back within the next month I could bring the car back & he would use the ozone machine again for free. I really appreciated that but there was no need. Very pleased with the work! read more

What a scam. The owner, who is the detailer, took advantage of seniors by charging a large amount of money for a horrible cleaning of their vehicle. The car was filthy. The owner should be ashamed of his cleaning job. Don't use his business. The job was disgusting. read more

I was looking for professional service and that is exactly what I got. Speaking and working with David was like doing buisness with an old friend for years. Friendly, accommodating and professional. Very satisfied customer read more

Extremely happy with the service I received. The car looks like it did when I brought it home from the dealership. They are wonderful people. read more

We took our 5 year old Grand Cherokee to David for some TLC, and boy did he exceed our expectations! I knew our car would look awesome when he was done, but it looks brand new! We take our Jeep everywhere, as well as our dogs. He cleaned out all the dog hair and smells so clean inside! David pays a great attention to detail, cleaning inside and out. I definitely will be back! Thank you David for making our car feel like new again! read more

The Detail Doctor - Auto Detailing Near Me - Eureka, California

Would not recommend. They refused to clean our patrol vehicle. I have sense spoken to 2 other auto detailing companies, West Coast and Primeire, that said they would do the cleaning. To clarify, we do patient transports. A patient vomited in the back seat. The owner said he doesn't clean vomit, feces or blood. After seeing this review the owner of the company threatened to sue me, for slander. It's also odd, but the owner seems obsessed with the bad review. I posted this originally 8 months ago, and just got an update. If you deal with this business and have a negative view, prepare for harassment and bullying. read more

Hands down the best detail shop in Humboldt County and he's got the reputation to back it up. Every time I get my rig back it looks and smells and feels brand new. Top notch professional service David and Anika are a pleasure to work with. Completely county compliant now for Covid19 reopening and super glad I got to support this local biz today!! read more

The Detail Doctor - Auto Detailing Near Me - Eureka, California

Looked great but upon closer inspection, shortcuts were taken. The wax was applied throughout but he totally skipped the clay and polish on the front bumper, back bumper and roof. Sure he brags about the "awards" and can BS but one person can only handle so much business. Notice how many cars hes got lined up in a day. read more

My car was covered with with dog hair and hadn't done much with the interior since I purchased the car.he did a wonderful job. My car interior looks like new. and it smells like new too. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I am a brand new Lyft driver (one of the few in Eureka), so I hunted for an auto detailer with expertise and value. David at The Detail Doctor is absolutely awesome ... very detail-oriented, willing to negotiate the price by what the customer needs done, knowledgeable, experienced, easy to talk to, and extremely thorough! I was very pleased with the result - and he even pointed out some things about my car I hadn't known, as in someone had taken the time and effort to paint both the carpets and some of the plastic moldings (the ones in question are black). He also said he found a LOT of sand in the carpet, using a tool he has that deep cleans into the fibers, and I haven't been near the beach in that car (bought in January). So, very good experience, very happy with the car, and definitely recommend The Detail Doctor!! read more

They did a truly excellent job with my vehicle! Communication was easy and friendly and the car was done and ready to go when they said it would be. The car looks absolutely brand new- it smells amazing and looks like the day I bought it. I had never had a car detailed before and after reading reviews of places all over Humboldt I went with them and I am so glad I did- price was very reasonable and I feel like I have made an investment in my car. I can't recommend these lovely people enough. What a wonderful Christmas gift to myself! read more

We brought our 2007 BMW 530i to David, The Detail Doctor. The car looked worn after a year in the desert of Lake Havisu, AZ and needed a professional's touch. David transformed our car! It looks brand new and the paint is so beautiful now it looks like a different color. The interior is so clean and the car sparkles inside and out. David truly cares about providing the highest quality service and taking exceptional care of his customers. We highly recommend his service for any car or vehicle. read more

I cannot say enough good things about David's work or him as a person. The way you will feel after picking up your car is worth EVERY penny and more. My car feels brand new and I feel like a brand new person. He has it down to a science and is very passionate about what he does, not to mention he is very kind and professional. Highly recommend! read more

I want to start by saying my car is normally spotless. I've recently volunteered to be an advocate for children in foster care who have pretty bad behavior issues (mother is an addict). They had meltdowns and ended up with sand all over them. This was pretty tramatic for everyone, including my car, that has NEVER seen sand. There wasn't alot of sand, but it was in the door jam area and a bit of the carpet. I probably made the mistake of not taking everything out of the car, but I hadn't planned on stopping that day. I asked for a quote through Yelp with very specific detail as to my needs and car model. Got this response. "David R. Price estimate: $50 My prices vary from $50 to $500. Please come by my shop and we can go over the best package for you. 4075 Broadway Eureka all a phone call to 442-3597 or 672-9596" This is not a quote at all. Anyway, I stop by the shop at about 12:30p. David was busy cleaning a car, but walked over to me, asked me what I needed. I asked him for a quote and he points to a menu board, says "those are my prices" and turns to walk away. I honestly thought I was being punked. He wasn't friendly at all. I told him that we had spoke online and he told me to stop by. He said he was really busy, and I would have understood if he asked me to come back. He didn't. He walked to my car, opened the passenger door and I started to tell him what I services I would like. He cuts me off, and says "let me do what I do!". In other words, shut the F up! I was speechless. He says "is that sand?!" I said "yes". He raises his voice at me and says "YOU KNOW THAT'S DAMAGE!! SAND IS DAMAGE!!" What? Obviously there is a more customer friendly way of saying this. Again I was speechless. He said "I can tell by your face you're confused! Sand on the carpet is damage! If you were to take this car to Hawaii, they wouldn't accept it!" WHAT?!!! Ok, this started to sound like tweeker talk. He continues to say, "I won't be able to get all the sand up. It will be $300." He starts to walk away without even giving me an opportunity to make an appointment. I don't ever remember being so disrespected by a business owner. Having a bad day or a busy day are not reasons to talk down to your customers. It's unfortunate that good work and good customer service are not attributes of this business. read more

Holy cats!! I was expecting to get my car back clean - but what I WASN'T expecting was for my car to come back SHOWROOM clean. When I brought my car in it was dirty through time and kids and coffee and life. It came back IMMACULATE Well worth the money. The Detail Doctor is the man. read more

We had our 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid painted six weeks ago. After waiting for the paint 'to cure' we had David do a deep ceramic wax job on it. We had thought that the new paint looked great but now we can see that it wasn't quite so. In the sun our Highlander damn near sparkles! I, being a sceptic, carefully peered at the car very carefully to see a mixed spot, or anything else, and was surprised. David is better that his reputation! It's no wonder why he has won The Best in Humboldt County for the last six years. And a bonus - he's a fun guy to talk with. We could not recommend him any higher. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dave and his work!! I took in a FILTHY ranch truck - caked in mud, poop, hay...that was the outside. The inside had years of dust, spilled coffee, and more dog hair then I should admit to. I picked up a SPARKLING brand new truck the next day. Heck if he'd hired someone to get the dents out I wouldn't have recognized my own vehicle!!! Now I don't want to take it back to work and get it dirty again. This is a Yelp success story! I found him here and now I know why he is highest rated in Humboldt!! Good, affordable, and honest - it's a great investment into your vehicle - you'll love it! read more

I had David and his wonderful wife detail my truck and they made it happen on a Saturday and I tell you they did a amazing job and in a timely manner. Thank you Detail Doctor and the Detail Nurse for the Saturday service and making my truck look NEW again!! read more

I bought a used car from a family friend and wanted it detailed so it would feel newer. I wasn't going to mention my allergies to dyes and preservatives assuming that they would only use the chemicals they are used to, but it came up in conversation with David and he volunteered to do a chemical free cleaning for me. I'm so happy that it came up and that he offered to do that because it made things a lot easier on me and I don't have to worry about having a reaction to the trace amounts of chemicals that would get on my skin from touching the car. It obviously isn't going to look quite as shiny nor have the same smell as if he had used the chemicals, but for me the trade off is totally worth it. The car looks beautiful and smells like nothing, which is how I like it. read more

Another 5-star all the way review for David!! I took my son's filthy, stinky SUV in and got it back looking AND smelling like new! He even fixed an issue with the console that was stuck open with something jammed underneath the cover! I had tried using 2 different kinds of spray cleaners on the leather seats that didn't even begin to get all the grime off, so I wasn't even sure it was possible to get it clean! He cleaned every nook and cranny, even in the back cargo area! I had the pleasure of meeting David's father and his son when I picked up the car and the whole family is very pleasant to deal with and very friendly. I can't recommend them highly enough!! read more

My 10 year old car looks brand new! David did an awesome job! Water beads up BIG TIME! It' been out in the rain three times, and no spots anywhere! I even went to cover it to keep it clean, and the cover won't stay on. Just slides right off! Hey David! You are THE MAN! read more

I had such a great and amazing experience at the Detail Doctor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Dave and his crew are extremely friendly and professional experts at auto detailing! My car was covered in and out with red clay from the hills. I called Dave, left a message, and he called right back with an immediate opening for that day. I had called a couple other places before him, but they weren't able to get me in the same day. That was important because I was leaving to go on a trip for the holidays the next day, and I didn't want to drive or show up with a clay covered vehicle. I was a little later showing up than the time he had given me, and it wasn't a problem for him at all. I dropped my car off and in a few short hours, Dave had turned my work car into what looked like a brand new vehicle! If you know anything about red clay, you know it stains and orange/redish color on fabrics. I wasn't even sure if it would come out of the floor carpets, but sure enough, the Detail Doctor did the job! The prices are fair, and you will absolutely be more than satisfied with the outcome! Thanks Dave, we will definitely be returning next time we need a clean! read more

David did a GREAT JOB. I called him earlier this week and he sqeezed me in to do a detail job before the criise in fortuna. Neber used Him before. IM VERY SATISFIED. HIGHLY HIGLY RECOMMEND HIM. Did it very thurough and quick egen picked me up and dropped me at hotel. Great price too. Thanks David. read more

Had a great experience. David did an excellent job, and was friendly and professional. Price was reasonable, too.

Amazing work!!! Really can't say enough good things about the Detail Doctor. He's detailed three of our cars -- all on short notice, and did an amazing job on each. Seriously, the cars looked completely different. He also sends progress photos and videos as he's doing the work, which is pretty cool. Not to mention he's super nice and friendly, and clearly cares a lot about his craft. Go Detail Doctor! p.s. He now operates out of a store, across from Pierson's in Eureka. read more

Awesome job! Courteous, friendly, professional, and skilled at detailing inside and out. Great service. I drove away happy, in a vehicle that looked and smelled like a brand new car. read more

My husband brought my car here to be detailed inside and out. The owner was super friendly! He did it all on one day and my card was a disaster on the inside. I have 2 small children that sit in the back seat. If your a mom you know what I'm talking about. Also I rarely clean the inside and I have owned this vehicle for 7 years. The inside looked brand new! The outside as well. I didn't originally want the outside done as the vehicle is old and is not in perfect conditions. My husband and the owner talked me into it and I'm so glad I did it. I would highly recommend this business!! I wish I thought to take before and after pictures to post. read more

An unexpected illness yielded vomit on the inside of my car. I figured I could get rid of it myself using typical cleaners from around the house. However, after realizing that my efforts would never fully clean vomit (especially the smell) from a car interior, I found the Detail Doctor on Yelp and got in touch with David. I wasted no time setting up an appointment a few days later for an interior detailing. After I got my car back, not only were all traces of vomit gone (including the smell), but I simply had never seen and felt such cleanliness in my car. I am very satisfied with the Detail Doctor! read more

Brought the car here for a good interior and exterior clean. The interior had a sour smell due to a milk spill that had occurred a few weeks ago. They managed to get the smell out of the upholstery and gave it a thorough cleaning inside and out. Also didn't need to wait long. read more

I got my boyfriends truck detailed for a Christmas gift & I thought they did an amazing job! When he was done he even came and picked us up at the movie theater and brought us back to our vehicle. I will definitely come to him when it's time for my vehicle to get detailed. read more

The Detail Doctor made my cars look great. Dave is a very friendly guy who enjoys what he does. He will come to your location and spends about an hour or so detailing your car for a reasonable rate (extremely reasonable if you get the Costco special). Higher priced details involve more precise cleaning and shampooing of the upholstery and carpets. The only problem with his service is it is easy to get hooked on it every few months when the car starts to get a bit dirty again. It was worth the cost just for what he did with my windshield. Amazing. read more

UPDATE 5/22/2014: Having Dave detail our cars again this year, still does a fantastic job! Detail Doctor detailed two of my family's cars this weekend and did a fantastic job for a great price. I've gone to the same detail business for 10 years until they retired this year and I was very disappointed. I've found my new detailing service for the foreseaeable future, though, and even my super picky dad was thrilled with his car after they were done. And, you can't beat having someone who comes to your location with a fully equipped van so you can avoid the hassle of drop off/pick up! read more

I loved that Dave came to my place so that I was not waiting somewhere with my young child. My car was pretty filthy. I got it used and felt hesitant to tackle the cleaning myself because of how overwhelming the dirtiness was. David did an awesome job. My car now looks a thousand times better and actually quite nice! Dave was friendly and worked hard. No complaints! Would use him again. read more

Very friendly and convenient. Dave is very personable and does a great job. He was great about working around my schedule.

I was very happy with David's detailing service. He came to my house in Trinidad and did a full cleaning & detail. He was super friendly & answered all my questions. My SUV was actually cleaner then when I drove it off the car lot. Will def use his service again. read more

Dave did an excellent job on my SUV for a fair price. When a couple of spots on the upholstery showed up the next day he came right back fixed them and thanked me for calling him, that's service. Definitely worth a call. read more

I had a really great experience here! Owner was so nice and a great communicator. My car came out looking brand new. He really went above and beyond what I was expecting. Thank you!! read more

This is crab season. I thought i wrapped my crab well enough but no! Somehow it leaked in my pathfinder and down into crevasses. 4-5 days went by before calling David. He waved his detail wand. Crab smell be gone! In twenty minutes my car was rescued. No more stinky crab smell! This guy knows his business. Tip: transport crab in plastic container with a lid. read more

David detailed my car. I'm very happy, it looks great. He's a super likeable guy and his Dad came too. He's very thorough, I'd totally recommend him. read more

The detail doctor did a great job on my car under super short notice. I don't think I'll use anyone else in the future.
