Jose was awesome. I am a stickler when it comes to detailing my car. I am a black car guy, and when I picked up my most recent car the previous owner had no idea how to maintain black paint. It’s not for everybody. I clay bar and wax all my vehicles myself, but with my most recent purchase I knew it would need a proper paint correction. I went with the two step paint correction and couldn’t be happier. The price was fair and Jose has hands down the best communication skills. I felt like I was talking to a friend showing him what I needed done, sending him multiple photos of areas on my car I wanted corrected, followed up with him sending me before and after photos and videos of the same vehicle with paint correction he had done. My car came out looking new, and I highly recommend him and the crew! Thanks Jose!

Our car had a huge amount of dog hair. My 110 pound German shepherd sheds like crazy and we have tried everything to clean all the hair out but with no luck then we found Jose at Essence Auto Detailing and he is a magician. He removed every single hair in the car and also cleaned the dash, center console and door trim for one amazing price all in about 2 hours. Jose now will get all our business when it comes to our vehicles plus he is very polite, professional and just an awesome guy. If you want fantastic care for all your vehicles you need to see Jose today👍. Tom Dowd I brought my 2017 Escalade Platinum to Jose to have him do a full Murder out package and it came out amazing. Jose is an artist and takes amazing pride in making vehicles look better than amazing. Attached are before and after photos of my Escalade. If you want the very best service to make your ride stop traffic come and see Jose. Service, attitude, pricing are second to none. Thank you my brother for making my Escalade a true head turner.

Juan, the owner, knows his products! His crew and himself did an amazing PPF front wrap and full clear ceramic coating all around. Car is new, but man, he made look way better!

Best ROI investment when selling your car! Your potential buyer will love your car. Paid $360 and it enabled me to sell my car well above kbb price probably $2000+. Absolutely amazing service from Jose and made it look like a brand new car. This is 2nd time visiting for the service. I feel like I want to get this service every year if my wallet allows it.

Immediately brought my new-to-me Mercedes to Jose at a recommendation from my workplace car club. I needed to have a PPF panel replaced on the front fender and a full ceramic coating. You can tell from talking to him he is detailing professional and there is a reason his instagram is full of exotics. He told me his honest opinion about fixing a few things and how to do it the right way. He completed his work on time and for exactly the price he quoted. I will be 100% back for upkeep on the car and coating.

I had a wonderful experience with Essence Auto Detailing and communicating with Jose! It wasn’t hard to choose this business after all the great reviews of his work and demeanor, and the initial communication I had with him (he was quick to respond even on Christmas Eve). Jose answered all my questions before, at and following the service. At the appointment, he helped me understand all the different options to protect my car and made me feel good about what I ultimately chose. Jose did a ceramic coating on my brand new Mazda CX-50 SUV. It feels good to have gotten the ceramic protection done right away while everything’s brand new. So happy with the work and my newly found understanding of how to maintain my vehicle and keep it looking its best. Jose provided a thorough explanation of the work done, and he did an excellent job on all of it! - the exterior, windows, trims, side view mirrors, and rims, inside/outside. He also gave me advice on how to maintain the protection, and recommended car washing products. I would highly recommend Essence Auto Detailing to friends and will be going to him again for additional services. Thank you so much!

I had two cars done here back to back... had PPF & Ceramic on a 2025 Rivian R1S & and detail & ION Coating on 2001 4Runner. The Rivian was straight forward, Jose gave me advice on what should be done with a new car and we moved forward. He did a great job so asked if he can help me with an older car. He gave me options what what can be done...but what I liked is there was no up selling & no pressure. I feel good about paying for these services. He gave me time lines for each job and delivered with quality work. Humble, honest shop with solid work, I will come back in the future.

Busy dad and hardly have time to review. But this one, I felt compelled to. I took my 2021 sprinter van to Jose at essence auto detailing for a ceramic coating. My van looked brand new when I picked it up! He had some lights next to the van, and I swear the reflection from the van is just as bright as the lights themselves. This is probably more of a testament to the material he used, silver package with 5 year warranty, but nonetheless it takes a master to apply it so beautifully. I was truly amazed. You can see the resulting pictures attached. Jose is very pleasant and easy to work with. Very responsive and easy to reach via text. He is very accommodating and had gone far above and beyond to satisfy his most discerning customers like me! When I picked up my car, I noticed a scratch that was probably there before I brought it in. I pointed it out and Jose went to his toolbox and brought out a polisher and immediately took care of it. I also noticed the mirror housing and other plastic pieces looked great. Jose had applied some material similar to armor all. He even used clay in some area due to contamination. It shows that he takes pride in his work and would not settle for less than perfection! None of the extras were expected but I greatly appreciate it as it completes the whole package. Most importantly, the price is reasonable. I've called around and decided to go with Essence auto detailing for the raving reviews he had on Yelp. I can honestly say I am a believer too. Overall I had a very pleasant experience. If ever I want my car to look spectacular and detailed again, Jose is my guy. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this place! José is amazing. High attention to detail, extremely kind, and very easy to work with. We just picked up our Porsche Cayman after getting full-body PPF (Ceramic Pro brand) and ceramic coating on the wheels, brake calipers, and glass. It looks fantastic!! We waited several months to get the car, and José was great about staying in contact with us and allowing us to drop the car off as soon as we picked it up from the dealer. We’ll go back in 10 days for a PPF inspection at José’s insistence (indicating he really stands behind his work), but so far, I couldn’t be happier. No bubbles, and because it’s done custom (not via a machine), the lines of the PPF are neatly tucked away, making the car look very clean. Also, this place was much cheaper than the dealership. Look no further if you’re searching for a place to get PPF and/or ceramic coating on a vehicle — Essence Auto Detailing will not disappoint.

Got PPF and ceramic coat done on my new Elantra N. They had really good pricing, and were able to work around my schedule. I had good communication and the work was done very professionally. He gave a lot of good options and explanations, and I could tell he had a real passion for his work. Thanks to them also for the thorough post care instructions. I would highly recommend Jose and his crew. Likely will come back for some more work!

I recently bought a 2007 model full size SUV. The previous owner used it as a family vehicle, so it had 18 years of stains and dog hair throughout the vehicle. I brought it to Essence Auto Detailing for a full interior detail. Jose took good care of us. Now the interior is like new. Seatbelts cleaned, steering wheel and seats all refreshed, carpet was shampooed, headliner and floor mats thoroughly cleaned. Doors and cupholders look immaculate. There are no stains and no signs of dog hairs anywhere. Amazing work and attention to detail. We will definitely be going back with our other vehicles. Thank you so much!

After doing a lot of research and checking out different ceramic coating services, I decided to have Essence Mobile Auto Detailing apply ceramic coating to my Lexus. Jose was super helpful and friendly when I asked him questions, and he made me feel really comfortable during my visit to the shop. He really took his time and made sure everything was done perfectly. The ceramic coating not only made my car look better, but it also protected it from the elements. Jose even coated the wheels, tires, soft top, and seats, so my Lexus will stay looking great and safe for years to come. I’m really happy with the results, and I know my car will look pristine and protected for a long time.

I had FFP and Ceramic coating applications to my new Tesla Model Y recently, and I am very satisfied with the professional work done by Jose. My car is pristine shining throughout. Jose is a honest and hard working person, he has the experience and the expertise in all aspects of car detailing. He gives suggestions for the best benefits you will get from the product and the price is also reasonable. After the initial application process, I was invited to come back in one week to Essence where Jose inspected the car again and applied the necessary finial touch up free of charge. That is a very nice after work service that is much appreciated. Highly recommended.

found Essence Auto Detailing on the Ceramic Pro website listing them as an elite dealer which offered the Ceramic Coating i wanted: Ultimate ION package (details of package found on Essence Auto Detailing Website). I HIGHLY recommend Jose and his team. They were friendly, professional and finished my car quickly. The cost for the package is expensive no matter what, but Essence Auto was competively priced! THE DETAILING ON, AROUND AND INSIDE OF THE CAR IS IMMACULATE. This was better quality detailing than the dealership when I bought my car weeks before bringing it to Essence. The Ceramic coating looks amazing and is evenly coated. I will be returning to Jose at Essence Auto for my hand wash and detailing (which is suggested for best optimal Ceramic Coatic performance and longevity) I could not be more satisfied. You would be a fool to go elsewhere.

Was referred to Essence Auto Detailing by a friend and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I took my new car in for PPF on the full front of the car, ceramic coating on the rest, and tint on all the windows. I was shocked to see how much shinier my paint looked! I was very happy with the attention to detail and overall customer service. 10/10 highly recommend!!
