Manteca Auto Detailing

This place is a complete joke. My husband went to make an appointment for monday the guy tells him make sure to let him know ahead of time if he isn’t going to show up. My husband makes appointment first thing Monday morning shows up nobody there. Sits around 20 minutes gives them a call. The guy says he’s not going to come in to reschedule for the next day. So he wanted my husband to be considerate, but had no consideration for husband’s time. Yeah we all can just schedule our lives around when they decide they want to show up for work. Don’t waste your time go somewhere else. Would have gained a lot of business now some other more deserving business will.

The owners Brian and Cheryl are awesome. They detailed a large old RV for and it came out great.

I took my Mazda I had just purchased there for a detail. The car had been sitting for a while so it need some attention. Brian quoted me $ 250 for a full detail. Brian was pretty cool to be ok with my wife coming to pick him up and take him to get my car at the house while I was at work and he is a nice enough guy so he get one star for that. I had pointed out some scratches and decals I wanted removed, along with some clear coat damage from some other stickers that had been removed. Brian called me later on Firday to say that removing the stickers was peeling the paint and he wanted to know if I wanted him to continue, I asked if there was any other way to remove them without damaging the paint his answer was no, so I told him to proceed, because I wanted them gone. He called me on Saturday to tell me my car was finished. When I arrived I inspected the car and it was terrible. I expected the paint to be peeled everywhere the stickers where but it was only chipped in a few spots as if he had tried to use a tool that chipped my paint all the way to the bumper. There was sun flower seeds still in my door, the vents were dirty, there was still wax on the car, the front grill had no shine on it, there was molding shine on the windows, cleaner/​gloss splattered on the door, among other things, I pointed them out to him and he took care of them. So I paid and left. When I got home I started to inspect it a little more in the sun light and it was a bad job. Under the seats wasn’t even touched, there was guck down in around the parking break and the P, R, N, D indicators, the vents were STILL dusty, there was dust in my steering wheel, the door jams were dirty, the carpet was still dirty and my engine looked like it had been steam cleaned just wiped down. So I waited until Monday since he was closed and called him (I really didn’t want to write this review, I just wanted to handle things with him privately in a reasonable manner) and told him that I didn’t feel that the job I received was worth the price I paid. He said that He had spent a lot of time on removing the decals and trying to buff out where some else had previously removed the some stickers and peeled the clear coat (which he didn’t look any better than it did before, though he said he could improve it). I explained all the things that had been left undone (I spent 3 hours at home completing the stuff left incomplete) and he told me that he spent a lot of time on my car and that I got my moneys worth. First off I didn’t set his price and his price was for a full detail, something I did not receive. If you quote a price for a job and you under quote it, that’s your fault and you eat it on that job. It happens to me in my business sometimes, but giving good customer service is more important, not at Manteca Auto Detail. I should have just not paid or done a better job of inspecting the car when I was still there. But really I shouldn’t have to do that! The very name «detail» expresses attention to every little thing, thoroughness, but apparently not to Brian. The really messed up part was I wasn’t even expecting a full refund, since I realized that He actually had time invested into my car, i just want to pay less since I didn’t get a complete job, but nope. BOTTOM LINE DON’T TAKE YOUR CAR HERE NOT WORTH THE HASSLE! TRUST ME!

I have a black Infinity which was left outside of the garage for about 6 months and was heavily covered with hard water spots on one side. Brian & his assistant didn’t give me any false hopes of having it back to showroom but he would do his best. All I can say is my car is beautiful!!! The attention to detail was remarkable and his customer service was impeccable. I will be taking my car back to him every six months for a detail wax just to keep it up. Looking forward to see what he can do with an interior detail. I will let you know. Give him a try — you have nothing to lose!

Took my truck in for the works. $ 275, $ 25 of which was because the truck is black. Showed him a few spots I wanted extra attention paid to, a few scratches, most of which should have pretty easily buffed out. Came back a few hours later and the truck looked nice, however the scratches remained. It didn’t look like too much attention was paid to them really. They did look better, but equally as better as the entire truck looked. All but a 1 or 2 should have been buffed out. Engine bay looked good. Interior looked good. After driving away, I did notice some white substance splattered on the front doors, looked like it dripped out of the mirrors and the wind splattered it onto the doors. It wiped off easily though. Not entirely disappointed but for the cost, I will probably try elsewhere.

Follow up on my review — I have since gone to another detail shop and for $ 200 they were able to remove the water spots that Manteca Auto Detailing was not able to as well as fix the damage caused to the paint by Brian at Manteca Auto Detail. Now I am working with my credit card company to get the $ 154.20 I paid Manteca Auto Detail refunded (glad I paid by credit card for the buyer protection) While I have been told I could sue them in small claims for both amounts I don’t want to go through that, I just want my money back now that I have everything resolved and my car is back to it’s normal shine!
Quick lesson, always pay for any service by credit card just in case the end result is worse than what you started with.

Took my Kia Soul in for the works after a fishing trip where we drove through dirt farm roads and a sandy levee. Tracked it all inside and out. Picked up my car in the afternoon. Spectacular results. Looks like I just drove it off the car lot. Under the hood, the entire engine compartment including the engine sparkles. Very fair price for the job!

I have a dark blue nissan maxima and next door neighbor used a power sprayer to stain his fence so car ended up with red fence stain all over it. Went and got an estimate to have exterior detailed and stain removed. Price was reasonable and comparable to other places. Scheduled appt to have car done, I had to cancel rescheduled for next day but again I was unable to make appt. but forgot to call and cancel, few days later went in and rescheduled and was no problem they knew who I was and had no problems with prior cancelations. Dropped off car on day of appt and later that afternoon went to pick up, noticed there were still a few spots of stain still on the car Brian apologizes and said to bring it back tomorrow and he will take care of it. Took car back picked up few hours later and car looks great no more red stain marks.
Outstanding job I highly recommend them. Plus asked for estimate for full detailing of a ford expedition price VERY reasonable well below any other place around…
Thank you…

Took my black car here looking like crap with hard water marks and scratches all over it. I was amazed when I got it back, it looked like brand new (except for the few deep scratches which I did not expect to come out). The interior was equally impressive. This place did a great job and I couldn’t be happier with the results, and for almost $ 100 cheaper than car pretty!

Owners are 8heryl and Bryan Summers. I got to speak with cheryl and she took the time patiently answering all my questions. They are very honest. They do a wonderful service for a great price. Look in your local big bopper shopper for coupons and deals.
