    Right after getting car revivified.

    So glad I found The Detailing Pros, Team Revivify. My car looks amazing and the revivify coating speaks for itself. I spoke with Mel and he did an amazing job explaining the steps and product details. Mel kept it real and honest as he is very knowledgeable and is a genius in the car detailing business. You can see the passion from all of team revivify as they showed more interest and care for my vehicle than myself, which is amazing! As I wanted the best for my car, revivify hands down lives up to what it's advertised to do as my car has never looked this good and shiny. The experience was amazing as well as I received text messages and even video messages of team revivify progress on my car throughout the day. Thank you Team Revivify and I would highly recommend anyone who has car detailing needs to take your vehicle here as you will not be disappointed!

    Mel is the best hands down once you take your vehicle here there's no need to go anywhere else from customer service to knowledge on what he's gonna be doing to your car and what even he can't do to your car which nowadays honesty is key thanks again Mel! And The Detailing Pros

    Water damage from my unit's flood

    Mel is absolutely the real deal! He did a phenomenal job repairing my neighbor's car after it was damaged from a water leak in my unit. The water flowed along the roof of our parking garage, landing on the car with not only hard water, but concrete mixed in as well. Mel was very transparent in saying he may not be able to get the damage completely out, however his work made this 11 year old car look good as new! Mel is super passionate about what he does. He even took the time to explain how newer cars nowadays don't have much paint on them and that protecting your paint job and waxing your car regularly is an absolute must if you want your car looking good for years (he likened it to our face- you have to keep it clean and moisturized if you want it looking nice). He does an excellent job for a reasonable price. Thanks so much, Mel!!

    Mel is absolutely amazing. I bought a 2021 range rover and wanted to make sure that she was ceramic coated as we live at the beach and it can be rather harsh. I never dreamed when I drove her away from Land Rover of Newport Beach she could look any better. Mel worked his magic and oh my goodness, she is actually even more beautiful than she was on the showroom floor. Thank you so much you are a true artist.

    Omg our Tesla is so deep and glossy in color and literally looks mirror like

    Absolutely insane results the car literally looks wet!!!!! It's the finish you only really see on show cars but REVIVIfy was able to achieve with no problem.

    Mel updated me the entire process on what he was doing and how it was going.

    I brought Mel my 2000 Mercedes Benz SL 500 for a ceramic coating. Mel not only exceeded my expectations, he also went above and beyond. My car looks better than brand new!

    These guys are absolutely amazing! I had a little situation and Mel was very helpful and took care of me right away. I had a scratches all over the car and now it seems like the car is brand new. I'm a local business supporter and you can't go wrong coming to this place. Not over charged and excellent service in a timely manner. Thank you Detailing Pros!!!

    Phenomenal job from Mel!

    I took my 1992 Acura NSX (Black) to Mel. It was full of swirls and he took care of it with a full paint correction. I had him get it ready for an event that I went to in Vegas. After a long weekend there, it rained and spots were all over the car. I called Mel to see what we can do, and he just told me to bring the car to fix it. Superb customer service. Mel keeps it real. Thank you HB Detailing pros!

    Mel is THE BEST! I had awful water spots all over my black Jeep from our sprinkler -- all over the paint and all over every tinted window. I had also done the terrible thing of letting it sit with all of that on there for almost 8 months. I brought it to Mel and he was amazing!! Fit me in right away, super cool guy and my Jeep looks INSANE. He even completely restored my fenders and bumpers as well. The car looks brand new and it's 6 years old! He also completely cleaned my entire engine as well. It's obvious he's great at what he does and really enjoys his work! He is the man! Cannot recommend him enough!

    Mel is a master. My 5 year old black car was starting to look dark gray. Mel was able to restore the color and depth of the paint back to better than original. His keen eye and expertise on auto finishes is evident. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants their ride looking great and protected.

    Another flawless experience with Hago's Auto Wash and Gerardo!…read more I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is hands down the best car detailer in Southern California. The level of care, attention to detail, and pride Gerardo puts into every vehicle is second to none. My car looked better than the day I bought it. What continues to impress me is the value. His prices are unbeatable for the quality of work you receive. From the interior to the exterior, every inch of the vehicle is cleaned meticulously, and he never rushes the job. Gerardo is professional, reliable, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. If you're looking for a mobile detailer who consistently delivers amazing results without breaking the bank, look no further. Hago's Auto Wash has earned a customer for life. Highly recommended

I have 2 husky mixes and the hair is basically gone. You can tell he really cares b/c he took 5 hours instead of 4 to make sure my car looked good. He removed some of my stickers I've requested. I'm very happy and will be going back to him consistently.

    UPDATE: Updating my review since the business owner…read moreobviously likes to respond to all his negative reviews to try and control the narrative - saying customers are lying, leaving false reviews, or weren't even customers to begin with. To start, the business owner is saying I lied about my experience and I was "belligerent" over them being late. He edited his response to me four different times (see emails). To address his original comments: 1.) "you provided two different numbers" -- this information is correct, however, the business owner ONLY used the primary one (just for clarification) and never contacted the other number throughout this experience. 2.) "over an hour before arrival, we informed you our technician would be running late" -- I wasn't contacted by anyone from this company until *I* reached out first, by this time, the technician was already late by 10 minutes. 3.) "we completed your full service including the engine bay detail, which we have clear photo evidence of" -- business owner offered free wash, wax, and engine bay cleaning due to being late - the wax was not done, or done poorly, and the engine bay was not cleaned, we were picking leaves out of it and its dusty, as you can see in the picture. 4.) "after the job was finished, we spoke directly" -- no? We didn't speak directly. I spoke to your technician and thanked him for his work and tipped him - but since he showed up late, we were pressed on time and needed to be on our way and didn't check the car throughly. 5.) "I still gave you a courtesy discount due to the delay" -- for clarification, no discount was given on the initial cost of the Interior Only detail. Only the offer of free services that were not completed, other than the wash. 6.) "you were belligerent over us arriving 30 minutes late, even though we had already let you know in advance that we were running behind and confirmed before booking that you had the entire day open." -- apparently, a customer being short and annoyed that your technician was running late with no notice isn't allowed lmao. If a woman says "hi." or "no, I don't want to cancel" is considered "belligerent", I suppose that's a whole other issue you have. Again, I wasn't told in advance that your technician would be late, and I never once said I had the entire day open. 7.) "Throughout the entire process, your behavior toward our team was distasteful and confrontational." -- when your technician arrived, I said hello, and politely asked him to move his car from blocking the driveway. That was the only interaction I had with him, aside from tipping him. We let him do his work and we sat in front of the house in the sun for about 20 minutes, on our property, several feet away from him. Overall, this company lacks professionalism and can't admit to being wrong. Cya

I reached out to Shyne Mobile Auto Detailing and I spoke with Connor. He was extremely prompt and gave me all the information up front. I did let him know that I was looking around still and I would reach back out to him. I was looking everywhere for a detailing service and the prices are extremely pricey and those prices aren't including interior. I reached back out to Connor and let him know that I'd like to set up an appointment for the Silver package. He was able to get me an appointment the very next day. My detailer, Steve B., reached out confirming my appointment and was quick and responsive. I wasn't physically home since I was at work but my fiance was so he saw the process. I was blown away with Steve B's work. He made my car smell super clean on the inside and the outside looks like glass. I can say it's show room ready as if i just purchased it from the dealership. Steve B did an amazing job. I could tell he is passionate about his job, detail oriented and dedicated! I would reach out to Connor and ask for Steve B! They have a customer as long as they're in business!

Unfortunately, they failed to remove the stain and somehow made things worse by leaving what appeared to be low-quality dressing products throughout the interior. It was incredibly disappointing. Thankfully, we found Wash Me Now. I called on a Sunday morning expecting to schedule something later in the week, but they were able to come out the very same day. We live in a gated community with no access to a hose or water source, which can be a challenge for mobile detailers. Not for these guys. Their truck is fully self-contained and equipped with its own filtered water system, so they were ready to work immediately. For $180, we received a full interior detail that even included an exterior wash at no additional charge. The results were outstanding. The matcha stain that another company couldn't remove was completely gone. They cleaned up the residue left behind by the previous detailer and restored the leather to a clean, factory-like finish. The exterior looked incredible as well. The paint was glossy, the trim looked great, and the entire car looked better than it has in months. What impressed me most was the value. For less than $200, they corrected another company's mistakes, removed a difficult stain, detailed the interior, and washed the exterior. That's hard to beat. The Porsche honestly looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor. Professional, responsive, reasonably priced, and extremely thorough. Wash Me Now has absolutely earned our business going forward, and they'll be the first call we make the next time either of our vehicles needs detailing.
