Platinum Detailing

Got a great deal on a used car which I still love. Excellent service. Straightforward and fair.

The 1132 Bishop Street location is so convenient! I always get my car washed here! Awesome customer service!

These guys are first class! I have gone to other detailing places and nothing compares to Alex and his boys! From the time you get there it’s no pressure at all. I you are looking for a great job make sure these guys are first on your list!

Great experience, great job! Got to meet Alex the owner who is passionate about what he does.

They did a great job getting my seats clean and making it odor free! They also got the water stains off of my window. These stains were impossible to take off with regular cleaners. They kept at it even though they couldn’t get it off in the beginning. Great customer service too! Would definitely recommend them and I would go back!

This review is for the Platinum Detailing location on Bishop St and Richard and his crew. They do excellent work, use quality products, super convenient with their downtown location, and they are inexpensive but do quality work. I usually get the standard wash and it’s a great value. I always feel i got much more than what i paid for. I also hired Richard for a full paint correction exterior detail recently. He was super cheap compared to every one else and went above and beyond by also doing a quick interior vac and wipe down, dressing all exterior trim, cleaned and dressed the wheels (i have satin black wheels and he used and recommended Adams In and Out Spray), and cleaned the chrome exhaust tips.

Very satisfied with the 1132 bishop st location you guys should definitely check it out phone number 8 083 589 411

Great value, I bring my car in at 8:30, in an hour I was already out. Car looks pretty good, I feel like they did more than what I paid for.

Alex and his staff will take awesome care of your Automotive Needs! Two locations to service your vehicle! I highly recommend this Detailing service!!!
Check it out! You won’t regret!

I just went there to get a basic car wash. Alex was very helpful in helping me decide on the right service for my needs. Nice place with very professional staff and did a great job making my car look great. I think next time I’ll try their detailing. Totally worth the $ 30 for a basic wash though.

There is a saying that at home your married with your wife but on the road your married with your car.
This place is a one stop place for to handle any of your car needs.
I have my cars detail and even fix here. Their work and service are 100% excellent as my car looks like or even better like new when I picked it up yesterday. You know for sure that they have spent labors and craftsmanship of a hand of a professional not only know their product but also proud of their service they do.
The staffs are all professional and you can tell that how the owner run his business it reflects to all the workers around him and the important thing to me which you hardly see to a business like this is the place and the surroundings are clean and don’t forget the show room and retail area as well.
Not to forget they also sell Adams car products.
I’m happy with the service and the price are reasonable that makes me wonder that I could have pay more if I went to other place and get the same service for my vehicle.
I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Platinum Detailing is a TOP NOTCH detail shop. I had my BLACK 2006 Trailblazer SS detailed today and WOW I am impressed. I tried to not let my expectation go through the roof when I went to pick it up but of course it’s natural to let them do so. Well my expectations were met to a T.
I was referred to Platinum Detailing by Matson’s (company that ships vehicles from the mainland). Well when I went to pick my vehicle up I was expecting the vehicle to be a bit dirty due to the fact it took 3 weeks to get here. One of the workers at Matson to me they were washing my vehicle becasue there was bird poop all over it. I told them «No, I only hand wash it!!» He assured me it was being hand washed. Long story short it was scrubbed down with a brush and they put some ridiculous clear coat scratches over the entire vehicle. I was definately pissed and filed my claim. I then went to Platinum Detailing and met Alex (owner) and went over the vehicle. He assured me he could correct the paint no doubt. And thats exactly what they did. I looks like glass now. And now we will be dropping off my wife’s Black 2012 4Runner next Saturday. We will for sure be Platinum Detailing customers while we are living on the Island.
I would highly recommend Platinum Detailing to family and friends. If you are on the fence or unsure, go for it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Alex and crew.

Summary: Platinum Detailing is exactly what the title says: platinum service + platinum friendly staff (if that makes sense) made my FIRST detailing a Platinum experience! (See what I did there :-P)
I’d like to consider myself an amateur car self-​detailer for as long as I’ve owned cars. But this time I decided that I didn’t have time to detail my Mazdaspeed3 to prep it to sell privately. Enter Platinum Detailing.
I was referred there by a friend and he introduced me to Alex the owner. He was a very friendly guy and very straight forward, I like straight forward. He said he was very busy but he’d find a way to squeeze my car in and make it «pop» (inside and out) as if it was new.
Holy cow! Sure enough he delivered! More so than I ever expected! The interior was LIKE NEW: carpets were spotless (I had grass EMBEDDED I there for years!), the leather was shiny, all that was missing was «new car smell.» My wife’s comment was «I have NEVER seen it like this since he bought it!» The exterior I already thought I had a handle on but again it «popped» like it was straight from the dealership: paint was super «wet» and shiny, the car was spotless, literally, as they remove waterspots too, and even down to the wheels as the tires were wet and the rims were shiny as well.
I won’t quote the price because every package is different depending on car, service, etc. But let’s just say it was worth EVERY PENNY.
BOTTOM LINE — SUPER-​Professional detailing at a great price and for great service! *i highly suggest calling ahead to check their availability.

Five stars. I just love the Adams products they sell. Especially the Adams VRT for the tires and the Adams Leather conditioner. I use the leather conditioner on all of my interior, plastic, leather and any non-​cloth area of my car’s interior. Makes it shine and glow! The Adams VRT for the tires makes it shine, yet lasts a long time (not like those liquid greasy spray shines, which lasts only for a few days).
Detail spray, detail spray, detail spray. Can’t say much more than that. Don’t think I water washed my car in over a year because of this product. I just love the detail spray! My cars just glow using this. I love it! I highly recommend using detail spray on your vehicle!
Anyway, another highly recommend for Adams car care products sold here.

Met the company while they were at Blaisdell for some home product show, what’s good is they are straight forward with everything. I inquired about getting my engine bay cleaned (was planning on doing it myself) then mina suggested to stop by and let them handle it, scheduled it for 15 June. Well the day has come and went to the company, they remembered me after a few seconds and got started right away… Highly recommend for everyone to go to to them, good people, no bs pricing and their work is quality… Mahaloz guys

Sometimes you go to a business and you just get a good vibe. That was the case with Mina at Platinum Detailing. I just felt he genuinely wanted to help me get my car looking like new. He cared about the service he provided and wanted me to be happy with the result.
Now, I’ve never had a car detailed. I took in an 11 year old Toyota that I just couldn’t get to look as clean as I wanted. For a $ 400 quote they gave it a really nice wash and multiple coat wax/​buff, full leather restoration, and an upholstery facelift. The interior of my car literally changed color as a decade of slow accumulation of patina was removed. The rims looked nice and sparkly and the engine compartment immaculate. They even offered to remove some old peeling pinstripes that some prior owner decided looked cool. I didn’t expect my older car to look like new, but now the leather and upholstery is as clean and nice as a new automobile. That will stave off my new car lust for awhile!
Overall, I was a little apprehensive about the cost and the job took two days, but the end result left me very satisfied. Five star rating!

I first saw this company at the First Hawaiian Bank Auto Show. I was curious about the Adam’s detailing products and Alex had given me the full rundown on how to take care of my vehicle. I try to keep my car as clean as possible, so I got the detailing kit and was very satisfied with the products.
My friend had recently gotten a new vehicle and was looking for some car wash supplies. I recommended going with the Adam’s detailing kit. So we went to the shop on Republican St. (My first time being at the actual shop) I was surprised to find out that they actually detailed vehicles there too. While my friend was getting the detailing kit, I set up an appointment to get one of my vehicles detailed (due to being extremely busy lately). I took my car in later in the week and told Mina what I wanted to be done. It took a few hours for my vehicle to be done, but it was well worth the wait. When I went down to pick up my vehicle, it was immaculate! They did a great job getting out all the water spots, cleaning the undercarriage, and even minimizing the visibility of the scratches. It was better than I could ever clean my vehicle. This was showroom quality. Thanks Alex, Mina, and all the staff at Platinum Detailing!
If you like to detail your vehicle yourself, I highly recommend getting the Adam’s detailing products. You won’t be disappointed!

Wow… I’m pretty surprised that I’m actually giving a one star rating to a business, but this is one deserved. My boyfriend had a $ 150 gift certificate that he was reluctant to use… he’s in the automotive industry, and he knows how some businesses can be not «up to par». I saw these two raving 5 star Unilocal reviews for Platinum, and convinced him that this was an upstanding business that made 2 different people satisfied with their work. We brought his truck, and was told we would be called when it was done~ an hour, hour half tops. Hour half to kill in a ghetto, industrial area wasn’t ideal, but whatevs, I felt it would be worth it. We didnt receive a call from them, but walk back to see his truck parked on the street. It was a while before someone came to help us, which was irking because the employees saw us, and one or two weren’t doing anything. One guy finally approached us with a key, except it was someone else’s. We could have walked away with another car! We get the right key, and he walks away. What? No walk through on what they did?
None of the above really bothered us until we discovered the quality of their service. We walked to my boyfriend’s truck and realized they didn’t lock ANY of the doors. If we hadn’t taken out our valuables beforehand, someone could have stolen our stuff or even hot wire his truck. The truck looked washed, and the wheels were shined. I can’t really say how good the wash job was, as it was drizzling. On closer inspection, the truck didn’t feel or look waxed. We were severely disappointed when we saw the interior… did they even do anything? The floor mats looked vacuumed, but that was about it. It looked like a 10 minute job, they didn’t even vacuum the dust from the shift boot! $ 150 for what we could have gotten from a $ 6 car wash? Pitiful. I can’t explain why there was such a difference from the other reviews. They didn’t touch the bed of his truck, so it can’t be because it’s a truck and not a car.
Bottom line: Went hopeful and excited, left frustrated and angry (gotta be honest. especially with money nowadays, who likes to get nothing for $ 150?). Spent the first 45 minutes at home cleaning the interior ourselves.

You know your car looks bad when you text your father that you’re finally using the $ 100 gift certificate he gave you for a wash and wax and he immediately texts back that he’s «so proud of you.» Had I known it was that easy to make dad happy, I would’ve quit college, gone to clown school like I planned to, and washed my car every day. But things happen for a reason and I’d like to think that had I not completed college, I would have not received the awesome services from the guys at Platinum Detailing.
I scheduled my wash and wax for 9 am today and the guys told me to come back at 1 pm. Platinum Detailing is located in Kalihi’s industrial complex, so if you don’t want to be stranded in Kalihi for three hours, either find a ride or bring some comfy shoes and walk into town like I did. I recommend the latter if you’re up for it because I got to go on some mini adventures while I waited for my car to be beautified.
I got back by 12:45 pm and they were just wrapping up. They told me to take a seat upstairs which was nice because I was tired from all the walking and really appreciated comfy chairs and air conditioning. Fifteen minutes later, one of the guys came up and fetched me. He was a really nice guy to deal with and he gave me the low down about my car.
He was completely truthful in the way an Asian mother’s truthful to her daughter who’s wearing a tube top and has gained a few pounds. He told me straight off the bat that my car was pretty bad. «So many water spots!» he said, «We were wondering how you were able to drive without seeing the back.» They were able to get the water spots off of my most of my windows and being able to see out my windows again has me wondering how I’ve been able to drive the past year. They did as much as the gift certificate paid for, but something tells me they did more than that given the faded state my car was previously in.
Before I left, he did recommend that I do further services on the car in order to get it back to its original state but he was honest about it and said it would be around $ 400 and take all day. As someone who considers rain showers as free, organic car washes, I’m not gonna be dishing out that kind of money any time soon. But I would definitely recommend these guys. They seem really genuine about wanting to do a great job on your car.

O M G! I took my car to a different detailing place and they got it looking better, but Alex’s crew got my car looking almost brand new! The water spots on the windshield I’ve been living with for years are gone, the dull paint from not taking car of my car now is shiny and glossy. They even boxed up the stuff I had in the car and put it in the trunk for me. I don’t even remember the carpet looking that good, and the inside doors and dashboard are now all one color and so smooth. Yes I paid more but you really get you pay for, it was worth every penny I spent for them to make my 2001 white Toyota Celica look fantastic. I guess now I need to worry about someone trying to steal it.
