I did a google search for a car detail shop (not a car wash that happens to do detail work too) and I found WaterShed. I called them and they were great on the phone, making the appointment was easy and they drove me back home after I dropped my car AND they delivered my car to me!!! My car looked great when they brought it back. It is a 2003 Mercedes so getting old and worn, but after WaterShed took care of cleaning it up it now looks fantastic!!!! I can't wait to get my truck over to them. Great job, good value. Thank you! read more

My car has a 115,000 miles on it and to be honest it was showing its age. It runs great and I take good care of it mechanically, but the exterior was looking a tired. I was referred to watershed by a friend, who said they do great work. I wasn't disappointed. They brought the black paint back to life and gave it a great shine. Could not be happier with their work and great customer service. read more

Detailing on my car turned out great. David went above and beyond to address the areas I was most concerned with. Will be back for sure

Watershed sent me "a note" about my tip to call in to verify one's appointment time. First of all, I would have approved it if it were accurate - I was not one hour late as they claimed (22 mins late). Second, most client-oriented establishments offer a courtesy call one day in advance, so I do not feel it is too much to ask. We all have lives, so naturally I cannot focus all my energy on remembering one appointment. Third, despite my stating that I thought I was early, they never showed me their appointment book which I felt was AWKWARD, ultimately gave me a bad feeling, and left me questioning their business ethics. Being that we were in disagreement, that would have been the best thing to do if aiming to provide the best customer service possible. (If any business had it on record and courteously showed it to me, then I myself would have apologized for the inconvenience.) Also, there was ALREADY another vehicle inside their garage, so how could I know they weren't lying to me? Anywho, I rebooked only because I had the Groupon. All in all I didn't feel the service provided was anything special, so I went back to Century Blvd to buy all my own detailing products. Watershed was decent at detailing, but without a deal you could probably find a better priced, same quality job elsewhere. read more

I purchased the LivingSocial deal for interior detail. Made an appointment. Took about 2.5 hours and came out looking brand new. My Prius was pretty beat up inside from my family. Blown away by the work. I will be back for exterior. Bravo! read more

Hands down the best detail shop in Ventura County! David and Ashley (Owners) are very professional and are very experienced in automotive detailing. I am a die hard automotive enthusiast. Attention to detail is very important to me and they definitely meet and exceed my expectations. I just recently started business with them not to long ago and they definitely have earned my business for many years to come. I truly recommend them to everyone out there, they are just simply the best. Prices are great and the work they do is outstanding. They offer full detail services such as waxing, carpet shampooing, paint correction, engine detail, and many more! Reading some of the comments below doesn't do any justification. Maybe those other folks should just bring their cars to the local car wash. They'll be definitely crying about swirl marks, scratches, and poor quality work! Amazing work and excellent customer service! Simply the best in the industry! Thanks Watershed Auto for always taking care of me! read more

My car had 6 years under the California sun and has never been garaged by the previous owner so the paint was starting to look dull. After I brought my car here the BLACK paint looks deeper and more clear than I have ever seen it and the wax that was used is of very high quality and the paint feels like glass when you rub your hand across it. Several scratches were removed with ease and my rims look new and my brand new tires have a nice dressing on them to keep the tire from getting dried out and gives it a nice clean look. I did not pay for any interior work but they were nice enough to vacuum the inside and save me some time which I really appreciated. Nowhere else in Ventura County compares to be honest, David and his wife are very hospitable and explain to you exactly what needs to be done and how they will do it, honesty goes a long way in business and they are very honest. I will be a repeat customer many times in the future and my loyalty is secured. read more

WaterShed Auto Care - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS after detail at Watershed. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Best auto care business out there! David takes excellent care of your car - basically treats it like one of his own. Take all of my cars to get detailed every 6 months. Won't take my cars anywhere else. Super reliable and trustworthy. If you need a detail (inside or outside), window tinting or want your car wrapped, take your car to David. read more

I just bought a brand new car when a gate closed on it and scratched up the fender. I was so upset and asked my neighbors for referrals. A bunch of replies recommended this place so I decided to take it in. I met David and he immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was his attention to detail and how knowledgeable he was about his profession. Even when I was beyond satisfied by his work, he continued to go above and beyond with his work. If you are searching for an honest, reliable, perfectionist to take care of your vehicle, do NOT hesitate! I will never take my car anywhere else and I am singing my praises to all my friends! Thank you, David!! read more

Thanks to all on community forum for the recommendations to watershed auto detail.I took my car in for an engine detail and headlights cleaning,what a surprise when I picked up my 2002 Honda passport.the engine and headlights looked like showroom new very reasonable prices and personal service.I will be taking my 1995 jeep grand Cherokee in next week for the same service.Thank You to David Rothenberg for providing a professional service to our community. read more

I found this place an yelp and could not ignore all the great reviews. I brought my M5 here for a full detail and ceramic coating. By far the best detail I've ever had. David knows his stuff and doesn't try to sell you something you don't need. Very satisfied and will be coming back for all my wash and detailing needs. read more

David did a great job on my Lincoln. It usually doesn't get the respect it deserves, being that its a little older and a lot of folks around here have uber new rides, but I've put a lot of money into it and its my baby. He made it look great, the inside is like new, smells new, and I will definitely use him for my other two cars. Reputable auto shops are hard to find around here, surprisingly enough, and I have been screwed twice since movin here 3 years ago. Thank you David and wife. :) read more

After purchasing a Groupon I thought I would try this detailing place. I read the restrictions and called to make an appointment. I was told between 8 and 8:30 am. They called the day before to remind me and said my appointment was at 8. I said I could make it at 8:20 as I had to get a ride from someone from their place. They said no, they would have to cancel if I could not be there at 8. I rearranged my schedule to get there at 8 on the dot! When I arrived I was then told that I had an up charge of $10 for my SUV. I said this was not in the restrictions and was my car not an SUV (it's a crossover that only has one row of seats, no four wheel drive and no more cleaning area than any sedan). Well admittedly I was unhappy by now and the lady helping me said she would nor serve me because I had a bad attitude. Seriously? I even said fine, I will pay the extra $10 but she still refused citing my attitude as the reason. I left without a detailing, a useless Groupon and a desire to let anyone I know that this is SO wrong. The owner of the company should fire this woman. Ultimately, I think they do not want to redeem Groupon's. I am generally a kind person who hates confrontation. I was prepared to leave a $30 tip for the people who did the detailing knowing that a coupon often leaves them underpaid. I am appalled however at the lack of service and rudeness represented by this company. read more

Great Place!! Got my 1999 Buick Regal cleaned today. It's been years since the inside was detailed. The car looks "Great" I'm so happy with their work. We are going to take in our other cars!!! Thank you for a great job!!! read more

I came to them via Groupon. It was a great deal, but they have earned my repeat business with the no-hassle professionalism on the desk and the complete attention to detail in the shop. read more

Awesome!! Got my car detailed today after all those random rainy days and my car looks amazing! Very friendly staff that know what they're doing! Nothing like having someone clean your car and actually CLEANING it!! Learned a lot about they're products that they sell and they definitely sold it! Definitely recommend to everyone! I'm a very happy customer :) thank you WaterShed! read more

I purchased the $59 get's you $120 worth of Service coupon from AmazonLocal. I called to make an appointment. David told me that they couldn't do my car for the coupon I purchased. I have a Toyota Venza, "the coupon was intended for smaller cars". I asked him how much it would cost if I wasn't using a coupon. He said "That would be between $95 and $120"!! Really??? I purchase a coupon for $120 worth of service but I can't use it for $120 worth of service!!! How rediculous!! He couldn't understand how I didn't understand the difference. He said because my car required more work than a "compact" car. I reminded him I only wanted the seats done, and that would be the same as any four door. He said they couldn't because I purchased a coupon for an entire interior detail. I told him that I felt their ad leaned toward unethical. He said too bad I felt that way. Now I am going to contact AmazonLocal. And I won't be giving Watershed ANY of my business, ever. Obviously this company is not doing very well, otherwise why the coupon? But to not honor the coupon is highly unethical. I would caution anyone who is considering doing business with them. Amazon Local refunded my $59 coupon purchase. read more

Love this place! Always hooks it up right! Car looks brand new!! Thanks David!!

No joke! I went there because my wife bought a Groupon deal. I had my 2003 Acura done on the outside and a inside vacuum. When I went back to get the car I couldn't believe how brand new the paint looked. It feels like silk. I will go back because they are very good.. read more

Had my 2010 Prius' interior cleaned, & upholstery shampooed by WaterShed. They did a great job and I think they are reasonably priced. My car was done in less time than I thought it would take, and they were able to address my areas of concern with the upholstery. The interior looks great and they were nice enough to direct me to Yelp for their coupon deal. I saved $25! Very nice touch to their customer service. Thank you WaterShed. We will be back and send people your way! : ) read more

I found this place on yelp I had a new car prep done on my Audi A6 looks great ! I would definitely recommend this place!

Came back yesterday with 2 cars detailed by Watershed - AWESOME WORK! I wanted to reiterate the other reviews...David is absolutely honest, professional, courteous, and meticulous with his work! Both he and Ashley were very clear about expected work to be done, timelines, and even followup once the cars were ready. Talk about awesome customer service! They absolutely run a business like everyone else - I hope they continue success and everyone gets to experience!!! THANK YOU! read more

I' recently found an Amazon Local deal for this place a few weeks ago and decided to purchase it. If I can recall it was for an exterior only detail with interior vacuum for $54.00 bucks--a voucher for a $135.00 value. I called and made an appointment to drop off my truck in the morning and then pick it up after work. Upon dropping off my truck I was greeted by David who was extremely nice and very customer oriented. To me this really shows he truly cares about his customers. He gave me a very thorough breakdown on how they were going to detail the truck and prior to handing him my keys, he inspected the truck for any dings/damages. I got off of work early purposely so I could get back to the shop before they closed. Fortunately, David advised me that they can wait for me even past business hours, which was a plus since I work in the valley, with traffic and picking up my kids it meant cutting it close to pick up time. I didn't want to inconvenience them of keeping the shop open and just waiting for me--but thankfully there was another vehicle still getting worked on when I got there. Anyway, I couldn't believe how good the truck looked!!! It had that wet look to it and soft to the touch feeling when I rolled the back of my hand on the hood. Keeping in mind I haven't washed my truck in months. We recently did renovations at my house and a ton of overspray from paint and demolition dust/dirt settled on my truck. Given the weather we've had it pretty much baked on my hood. My truck was completely pampered after bringing it to Watershed--looked almost brand new, granted it's a 2010 with only 31k miles. I will definitely take it back in the next few months. No more going back to the regular car washes. Thank you David and Watershed for your service!! read more

I made an appointment for an exterior detail for my Toyota Highlander. While dropping the car off and speaking with the owner, David, I decided to have the interior done also. I just got it back. One word review...FANTASTIC! If you are looking for a quality detail operation done by someone that really knows what they are doing, stop looking and call these guys. Their prices are reasonable, their work is great. I will be taking my other vehicles to these guys. Good, reliable detail guys are not easy to find. I am so glad I found Watershed, you will be too. read more

What can I say about Watershed, David, and his lovely wife, Ashley that hasn't been said before... These guys are hands down the best auto detailers in the SoCal area. Look, this is a competitive industry and that is a bold statement to make, but how many detailers do you know make their own chemicals, offer very fair prices, are honest, and will treat your car with more respect than you do? I would guess not very many if any. They take their job very seriously and will take good care of you and your car. It really doesn't matter if you roll in with your 1993 Honda Odyssey, Subaru STi, or Porsche GT3, every car gets the same expert level treatment and care. Whenever I am in SoCal I stop by for a Stage 2 detail for my 2012 STi. I encourage you to do the same. They won't disappoint. read more

See all

I brought in my 3 series BMW to get a showroom finish for an up and coming bimmer meet. I couldn't have been more impressed with Watersheds attention to detail. While the staff instantly got to work on my car I was accommodated with complimentary coffee and TV in there beautiful waiting room. The time flew by as I watched numerous episodes of my favorite TV show TOP GEAR. I would highly recommend watershed to any car owner looking for quality work with a leisurely experience. I encourage you to check out there waiting room while they are servicing your car, it was as if I was in my own living room providing a relaxing and yet "homie" feel to a business. Keep up the great work you guys! read more

I have a new 2014 Accord and not even 3 days old some inconsiderate driver decides to leave a 3 foot scratch all along the passenger side door. I do a search and find Watershed and their reviews look great. Call them up and ask to see if someone could look at my car and they say come on in. When I arrive I am greeted by David. Very kind and knowledgable person. He assesses the damage and explains everything to me in detail. I liked that a lot, he was honest with his assessment and explanation of length of time it would take to fix the issue. He did a wonderful job making my new car look new again. I definitely recommend this place to take your car too if you want it taken care of correctly! :) read more

I thought his prices were high, but David promised that my car would look like it was "just out of the showroom" ! Needless to say , it almost looked like they simply ran it through the car wash and back. Prices are astronomical and work is sub par! On a second note, they need to work on their customer service skills. Definitely will not be back !! read more

I purchased 2 car details coupons from WaterShed. I had my husband's van done. Wasn't too pleased with the job that they did but didn't want to complain. Brought my car back another day. They were very rude. No customer service in mind. The owners are a young couple, they have much to learn about treating customers right. Canceled my coupon and got a refund because the man was so rude.....No thanks! Go someplace where they treat you nicely and do a good job at the same time. read more

This place did a great job. They really made my daughter's car paint really pop. Not to mention bringing our 7 year old car's finish back to life. The price was very reasonable as well. If you need detailing in the Simi area. This is the place. read more

absolutely outstanding! Watershed always does a wonderful job on my vehicles. they are very professional and certainly know what they are doing. i am always amazed to see how like new my vehicles look after bringing them to watershed. very knowledgable staff and certainly the best in ventura county. the only thing that you will regret is not taking before photos!! thanks again watershed for another job well done read more

David and his wife did a great job on my 2015 GTI! The wax and product they used on my car are superb and the water just beads and runs right off my car! His tinting was fast and great as well. I didn't have to wait long for my car to be done and man did it look good! I need to schedule another detail soon can't go with a dirty car for too long! Give this guy a try and get the stage 1 detail if the exterior is all you need done! read more

My husband and I recently sold our Mazda CX-9 to our Aunt, and before we handed it over, we wanted to get it detailed so it would be looking like a brand new car when she received it. We dropped the car off with Dave and the guys early in the morning, and by 5pm when we came to pick it up it literally looked like a brand new car. So much so that I started to wish we hadn't sold it! These guys went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and they were super nice to deal with. We are bringing our other vehicle and our new car to them next week for a few things. You should give them a try! read more

I usually do not write Yelp reviews, but I believe this company deserves it. My car had some tough spots worked into the paint, and Watershed took care of all of it. Car came out looking like new. On top of that, when watching them work with my car, they treated it as if it were their own. Nothing but great things to say about David & Ashley of Watershed. Thank you again! read more

I am so happy with the way David explained how he was going to take care of my truck. Honesty is important to me and I was so glad he told me what he thought he could and couldn't do. I highly recommend WaterShed. read more

Seems the groupon users received poor service, unless they owned a luxury car. Other cars were in the bay when I arrived. They did not offer me a ride home after saying how I lived only a few blocks away. Had my vehicle for 6 hrs. and it still wasn't clean. I had to call them over 2 times to clean obvious areas they "just didn't see". Waste of time, money, inconvenient, poor customer service. read more

My honest reaction when I picked up my car was "WOW!!!" We took our 2015 Honda Accord, black on black, for a much needed renewal. It had seen some wear & tear beyond what the car wash could handle, being our daily driver, carting kids around, school and LAX parking lots, etc. WaterShed exceeded my expectations doing an exterior, interior, and engine detail. The engine looks better than when the car was new! The interior is now immaculate and protected. He removed some scuffs and scratches from the exterior, and left our black car shiny and protected. Take your care to WaterShed, you will be happy. WOW! read more

WaterShed did an excellent job of detailing the interior of my SUV. I am very happy with the results.

This review is long overdue but just recently decided to create a yelp account. This was one of the places coming back to review because of their attention to detail and they treated my car as if it were theirs. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Never thought my 97 would ever look this great. Nothing is half assed here and great attention to detail. No reason to go anywhere else.
