I had the interior of my car detailed today. Clintonville Auto Detailing provided excellent communication and everybody to whom I spoke was incredibly friendly. I dropped it off Friday evening after they closed and it was done Saturday afternoon. Their customer service is top notch. I have a dog, a Saint Bernard, and they got every last shred of hair out of my car, and I think there was quite a bit. The floors look like new, though they did charge an additional $50 for the hair removal - they communicated this to me ahead of time, which I appreciated and understood. The vinyl surfaces in the car (steering wheel, controls, shifter, center console etc.) and door jams all look fantastic. There was some residue from something they used, maybe to wash the windows, streaking down the side of my car following the job. I was able to get this out (I think/hope) with a damp rag. There were several similar stains on the exterior of my car, mostly just surrounding the windows, which I know were not present prior to service as I had washed the exterior of the car before I took it in. There are also some stains that were present on the seats before detailing that are still present now - it's entirely possible that these stains were just too persistent or too old to remove. I also have a tan interior, so any stains are glaringly obvious. They aren't red wine or ketchup stains or anything crazy and are pretty small - part of me feels like they should have been able to get them out, but I'm not an expert. There were also some dirty spots remaining on the dash and in the cupholders which I was able to scratch off with my fingernail - not a big deal. Overall, I think Clintonville Auto Detailing did a good job. I would take my car back. The price was not totally unreasonable (maybe a little on the high side) and the interactions with their detailers was excellent. When I took my car in, the interior was probably a 5 on a scale of 1-10, not factory new but not like, Chernobyl. I'd put it at an 8.5 now.

This review is coming from a girl who was raised by a truck driver and raised that your car should always be cleaned and washed by yourself - however I gave Clintonville Auto Detailing the chance to take on my very messy car due to my busy schedule and I just have to say even after all these years of cleaning my own car, they did at least 50 times better than I ever could and my car was covered in probably a year of dog fur and dander (and nose prints on the window of course) - not a single speck of any of those were left in my car when I picked it up after they cleaned it. My car is so smooth that it’s smoother than a babies bottom and smelled so fresh. I highly recommend them for any car cleaning and detailing ever needed. I will 100% continue to use them in the future.

The guys at CAD are amazing and I can't rate them highly enough. Service was fast and friendly; we were able to get a booking within 48 hours which was huge since we were having the car detailed as a present for my daughter and time was limited. She's going to love it - it looks fantastic!

These guys were great. Got the Interior-Only detail. No up-sells, they just did the job well. The car hadn’t been properly cleaned since it was bought 11 years ago. Now 2 kids later ALL of the melted crayon, candy and other stains are out of all the fabric and vinyl cubbies. Only problem is I forgot it needs at least 24 hours to dry, and we don’t have an empty garage. If that’s the same for you, plan ahead when there’s no rain to leave it out with all the windows & hatch open overnight.

Made an appointment 2 days before drop off and end up dropping the SUV off night before. Appointment scheduled for 9am. Didn't receive any calls on status of service being performed. Called was told service had been completed hrs ago. Go to pick up SUV and there were many things not to my satisfaction. The detailer had left and wasn't returning back to correct what was not completed. The "Manager" -Terry steps in to address the concerns. Was advise to let the carpet air dry over night and leave windows down. Oblige, next couple of days past leaving my windows down parked in the garage and my SUV had an unpleasant smell of wet carpet. Call in inquiry suggestions and received a totally different level of customer service. Was talk to like as though it wasn't my problem. The price of paying for the service requested and to be given a half a** job of service. Was not acceptable. In the beginning of contacting the business was a wonderful experience. But day of service being rendered was not the best for an expensive request of service. Not that they care I WONT be RETURNING! There was no "Oh!! We're sorry let's make it up with a partial discount or partial refund" Best of luck with the company and staff.

Amazing service. The technician did a wonderful job of explaining to me what he was going to do to the vehicle before he even started. The prices are definitely fair for quality if the work that you receive. Everything is laid on on the price list so you know exactly what to expect and there are no hidden charges. I will never take my vehicle to any other detail shop and will absolutely recommend them to my family and friends.

Dropped car off for interior detailing and exterior wash and I was told they would call if there were extra charges. Was never called and there were $50 in "extra charges" added end of the day. No explanation given. Were they legit? Probably. Would I drop my car off in a place that adds charges with no explanation? Not again. Would I recommend to a friend? Nope. 2 Stars because the car is definitely clean and the original price was fair.

People were nice but they had my car from 9am -5pm when I first got it back I was very excited it looked like they did a nice job but my seats which are not leather were SOAKING wet. The aftercare instructions told me I needed to leave my windows down till it completely dried…. 5 days later my car is almost dry but there are water stains in my seats so after spending nearly $200 and waiting an entire day then leaving my windows down 5 days which was very inconvenient my car looks like it was barely cleaned. I cannot recommend this service I’m very dissatisfied feels like a waste of money.

This is the second time I’ve been to Clintonville Auto Detailing. The first time, I went for an interior detail for a spill and they did an amazing job. The car looked better than when I bought it! This time I gifted my husband the VIP package for Father’s Day and they did yet another phenomenal job. I can’t see myself going anywhere else for a detail job.

We got our car detailed here. When we brought it in, it was a mess. It had mud and gravel throughout the backseat, and our pet’s fur was everywhere. When we picked it up, I felt like I was looking at a brand new car. It smelled amazing, and there was no evidence it had been driven before. Amazing detail, worth every penny and very friendly staff. Much appreciated and we will be back!

I called on Friday afternoon hoping I could bring my car in over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised that I could bring it in the next day at 9 am. My car was pretty wreaked. I had motor oil spill in my back seat last summer and never properly cleaned it up. I also have a dog so there was quite a bit of hair. When I dropped my car off Saturday morning the guy behind the counter was very friendly. I got a call around 1 o'clock saying the car was ready to go. When I arrived to pick it up I could not believe how clean it was. It was pretty much in the condition it was in 2014 when I purchased it. I was unbelievable happy about the backseat as well. I didn't think the oil would come out but they did a great job and it seems to all be gone. Not only will I be coming back for all my car detailing needs I will be telling all my friends and family this is the place to go! Wonderful job all around, very pleased. Also they have great prices!

I am from out of town and got car sick on my way up to Columbus. My car was a mess and in need of a good, thorough cleaning! CAD did a great job detailing the inside of my car! A little pricey, but worth it. I’m personally not a huge fan of the after scent, but my car was pretty spotless. Unfortunately something happened to my radio screen during the process as well (radio worked but the screen went black). Other than that, I was thankful they were able to squeeze me into the rotation unexpectedly and get my car taken care of! Response: There was no issue with the screen up until leaving your establishment. Nonetheless, you guys took care of me and I appreciate it. Best wishes!

My car had almost five years worth of stuff in it from all of our adventures. Including muddy dog fur, sand from various beaches, dirt, mud, spilled coffee, dog nose smudges all over all of the windows, etc. in it. All of this literally caked into everything. I mean our two big dogs would always be covered in wet mud or sand and I didn’t ever put a seat cover back there. Never cleaned back there either. Threw muddy hiking boots in the foot spaces. Drove it on several beaches and never cared to shake off before getting in. Their was probably half a 5gal bucket worth of sand on the floor. It was pretty bad. I recently bought a newer car and so decided to sell it. I tried cleaning it to the best of my ability but I didn’t get far before I realized I honestly needed professional help. Being local to this place and seeing the reviews it has I called them and explained the situation, and I didn’t sugar coat it, and they were very nice and helpful and scheduled a day for me to drop it off. I am completely blown away by how clean they got my car. IT LOOKS BRAND NEW. I did not think this car would ever look this clean again but I needed it at least better than it was.The only cleaning I’ve done on it was occasionally a drive through wash (like once a year maybe). I’ll never do that again compared to what these guys accomplished. They even cleaned the wheel wells. I wish I would’ve taken before and after pics. There’s not a single spec of sand, a single dog hair, and the seats are now their original color again (they got ALL of the mud out). The paint on the outside of the car looks better than it ever did. Even the tires are cleaner than I’ve seen them. All of this and they were extremely nice, and at a very fair price - which I was a little worried about because most of the cars in the queue were luxury types. Won’t hesitate for a second to recommend this place and we plan to utilize their services again. Also, they had a really sweet dog inside.

Took our daughter’s car in for mini detailing, 12/26, at opening, 9AM. Was told it would take 2 to 3 hrs. Called to check on it at 11:30AM. Was told it would be another hour. We showed up at 12:30PM, because she needed to get back to NYC. The detailing had NOT begun. I CANCELLED. They could have given me a courtesy call, that they were running behind.

Best Auto Detailer's in Columbus. They Earned this 5 Star rating. My Interior was wrecked and they did one hell of a job bringing it back to life. I will recommend you guys to all of my friends.

They were very nice men. But if I’m paying over $200 for an interior clean, I expect it to be cleaned and worth the money. There are other spots in my car but here are a few pics

I paid 300$ plus a 50$ tip for an interior detail due to my truck being so dirty from work. When I got it back everything looked good, I noticed a few minor spots that were missed but overall very good job or so I thought. A couple weeks pass by and then I go to use an air vent and a piece just falls off (Pics show the broken one and a good one for reference). I wish I had been informed that this damage to my truck had taken place so I wouldn’t have left a tip.

Clintonville Auto Detailing is amazing!! They did such an incredible job on my car- it looks brand new! I felt like it wasn’t that dirty when I brought it in, but after picking it up I realized how bad it was before bringing it in! I’d highly recommend as they are easy to work with, kind, and incredible at what they do. Great value and great people!

After drying, my fabric seats looked worse than before I took my car in. I called to have them fix it, and after another ~30min appointment, they are still significantly stained. Otherwise, the job showed little attention to detail, and I had to wipe my windows off after how greasy they ended up. You’d think they would do better for $175. Attached pictures are my seats after the detailing job AND follow-up.

I've gone here several times over the years and they generally have done a great job. However, the last 3 times I went, they used something to try and clean the dashboard where the instrument read outs are and they left some kind of residue/film on it that made it extremely difficult to see the displays. I told them about it the last two times and explained I tried goof off and several other products to try and get rid of it but was unsuccessful. I asked if they would please clean it and get rid of it. Well the last two times I went, they made it significantly worse and as you can see from my pictures, they just scratched the heck out of the display. It is now permanently difficult to read and if I want to fix it, I'll have to replace it. They also use some kind of cleaning oil that leaves the entirety of the inside of my car EXTREMELY slick with an oily like substance that gets on everything it touches. I had asked them to use it lightly or not at all but I guess the message never got passed along to whoever they had cleaning. In general they do a pretty decent job but based on them completely scratching my display and leaving an oily residue every single time, I'm now going to have to look elsewhere. I also requested an estimate for a paint job and they said they'd give me one but never did. When I called a few times to inquire about it, they said they'd call me back but never did.
