Great experience with Dennis Auto Details! Our Detail Technician, Noah, did an amazing job on our RV. He was very polite, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly before and after the service. He was also able to buff out the scratches on our RV, and the results came out great. The RV looked fantastic when he was finished, and I was very happy with the quality of his work and attention to detail. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of service provided. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend Dennis Auto Details, and a big thank you to Noah for doing such a great job!

I have an older 5th wheel that needed serious attention. Noah and Dennis explained after examining the exterior their process, what to expect given my trailer’s condition. A thorough wash and front cap de-oxidation removal, polish brought the trailer back to life. Very pleased with their efforts! I’m all set to travel the road. Recommend Dennis Auto Details highly!

This is my 2nd time booking with Dennis to have my car detailed. I’ve had both a Nissan sports car and a Honda CRV detailed by Pablo. Pablo is very thorough, patient, polite, and did excellent work on both cars! Update - just rebooked an additional two cleanings for both cars now!

Our mobile detailing services use specialized products designed for coastal protection, including ceramic coatings that create barriers against salt damage and UV protection.

Basic car washes only provide surface cleaning without protection or interior care. Mobile detailing delivers showroom results at your location.

Yes, we specialize in complete pet hair removal using specialized tools and techniques. Our ozone treatment ($129) eliminates stubborn odors at the molecular level. We deep clean carpets, upholstery, and air vents to remove all traces of pet-related contamination in your Carlsbad vehicle.
