Testimonials
Low-water and low-impact car detailing, and affordable! The guys from CARBONita were great. They came to my office and, when we didn’t have an electrical outlet handy, they took the vehicle to another spot for cleaning and delivered it back promptly. My car is so clean it is like a brand new car! I will definitely use them again – for the fact that the clean is low-impact on the environment and for their level of service and individual attention. Give them a try, you’ll be glad you did!

The boys were gracious and polite. My car has leather interior and I have bought numerous products to get the light gray leather clean, to no avail. After my car detail, my seats look brand new. It smells new, too. No more sweaty football boy smell! And I know they used environmentally friendly products so I’m not getting poisoned with the smell. The exterior looks brand new and is really smooth. Plus, the convenience of having them come to my house…priceless!

Definitely did more than they’re suppose to…. cleaned inside and outside. Quality definitely reflects the time that they put in… good work!

This is a great business — first, they are eco-friendly. Second, they do a meticulous job cleaning the inside and outside of your car…they washed and did a clay bar treatment on the outside and completely detailed the inside including upholstery, dash, console, etc…seriously, my car didn’t even look that good years ago when I first got it! Third, they are super accommodating to set up a convenient time to come to you (it’s a mobile service.) Fourth, great communication! [...] Next time I need a top-to-bottom/inside-outside job done on my car, I know who I’m calling!

100% delighted with the cleaning job and service provided by CARBONita.
Let me start by saying my car was very, very dirty. We got it used from a family that had several young kids, so it had a base layer of crumbs and kid gunk from the start. Then, over the last five years the interior has been subject to: sheding dog, dirty hiker husband and his hiking buddies, several roadtrips, a few spilled coffees, several sandy trips from the beach … I could go on. Honestly, it was really embarrasing how gross it was.
Then comes the nice fellows from CARBONita (who don’t make you feel bad for having such a yucky car!) My car interior looks brand new. They cleaned all the nooks and crannies, deep cleaned the carpets (good bye coffee spill), treated the leather and made the windows shine. The exterior looked equally as fine. My car shines like new and the tires looked great too. Now I can cart my coworkers to meetings and not be embarrased that they may emerge with dog hair or goldfish crackers stuck to their suits!
If your dirty car is need of a clean up, this is the team for the job!

Here in San Diego, we’ve got to be smart about the water we use. So, I was very excited to hear about an eco-friendly way to clean your car. I met Bryce, the owner of CARBONita Detail…; he just relocated his business to San Diego in January… He detailed my car so I could accurately describe to my readers what CARBONita Detail does. Some of the highlights include: CARBONita Detail uses less than 1 pint of water to detail an entire car. All of their chemicals biodegrade. Having a car that transports kids, dog & equipment I was a impressed how clean they were able to get my car and very pleased! In fact, it looks new again. I loved the fact that that CARBONita Detail comes to you.

Well you gotta love this thing we call the internet and most of all Social Media… I found this little business CARBONita on Twitter
All I can say is WOW!!! What a great, great, great guy and even better car detailer. The inside of my car was taken over by my 3 year old and that is all I have to say…. right?…. and after CARBONita was done it looked as if no kid had ever been in the car. It has been well over 3 weeks since they did my car and it still looks fabulous!!! I hate to say it but they did such a great job I will not need them to come back soon….
So with that said it is WELL WORTH every penny, in fact in the long run I am paying WAY less to them come do my car the taking it to the “Local Car Wash” every other week!!
Thanks CARBONita!!!!

CARBONita Detail is, quite frankly, the best car detailing service I have used in the past decade. I recently moved to La Jolla from the East Coast and my beloved Subaru Impreza WRX was transported on an open carrier across the continental US. It arrived in one piece but in a pitifully dirty state. I ran it through the local car wash several times but it just wasn’t doing the job. After researching online for an environmentally friendly detailing service I came across CARBONita Detail. The website was nicely designed and after talking to the owner on the phone it was clear [this company is professional]. To top off everything, they came to my house on New Years Day, the day after I returned from Europe, and started work on the car. After 2 hours it was looking so much better, and… after another 4 hours and my car looked better than when it left the showroom. It was nothing short of a miracle. I rate CARBONita Detail 5 out of 5 stars. I don’t think I’ve felt this good about my car since I bought it. Money definitely well spent.

My husband and I have had our cars detailed before at local car washes and were always a bit disappointed with the results. I have to say that is NOT the case with CARBONita Detail. Our cars look FABULOUS…
Not only do they use eco-friendly products which require only a fraction of the water of traditional car washes, they also come to your house. …[removed] the year-old coffee stain out of my light gray floor mats, (and) made the paint on my car feel like glass.

Quick, Professional, and keeps appointments. Could not believe how my car looked inside and out. Would recommend even to my own mother.

CARBONita Detail uses less than one pint of water to detail an entire car. All of their chemicals biodegrade. Aside from [being environmentally conscience], even my husband (who can be extraordinarily picky) was pleased with the results. My car looks new again. It also had pollution specks ground into the paint (that would have rusted) from being parked outside. I never noticed them until pointed out. They are now all gone.

A few months ago, I parked under a tree and a bunch of sap dripped onto my car. By the time I got around to it, the sap hardened to an almost petrified state; nearly impossible to get off. In fact, I took my car to one place to try to get it off and was told it would take several hours to get off, plus it may scratch the paint. CARBONita Detail not only got the sap off without a scratch, but fully detailed the exterior of my car in less than two hours for a much more reasonable price than the other guys. My car looks better than it ever has! I would definitely use them again.
