Pablo was very professional. Was able to schedule a interior/exterior detail with headlight restoration within just a couple of days. Whole process took about 2.5 hours, and I am very impressed with the results!

Pablo's communication is top-notch. After sending him pictures of the inside of my car, he followed up quickly with a detailed response outlining what will go into the interior detailing service. Not only did he list everything he would do, but he also provided a fair estimate, which instantly made me feel confident about his professionalism and transparency. The actual detailing work he performed was fantastic; he'd even given the exterior a quick, but thorough, wash as a complimentary gesture (at no charge). I will definitely be returning for my future car car needs. Highly recommend him to anyone in search of a trustworthy, skilled and customer-oriented car detailing service!

Pablo provided excellent service to my vehicle. I recently had a friend that had a “little” accident in the backseat of my car. I tried cleaning it myself, but to no avail. I was hesitant at first of having Sterling Autodetail come to my place to clean, but now I fully regret that thought and am embarrassed to have thought so after seeing the amazing job he did at cleaning my seats and getting rid of the smell. Please if you are need of some deep cleaning and detail to your car, please have this young man come out and have his service done. Would highly recommend!
