      For my sons birthday I had these guys wash my sons 3 cars: a Volvo V60 Cross Country, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Toyota Tacoma. They made it quick and painless with mobile home service. You can tell Alec is passionate about cars and he was very meticulous.

      Based on their attention to detail the name is fitting. My son is a former auto detailer and was very impressed with their work. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend The Detail Guys.

      This was my first time getting my 4 year old GLC 300 detailed and the Detail Guys made it look brand new! Located off Morena in Bay Park, you'll come up to a closed gate with a phone number painted on to call to let them know you've arrived.

      My husband booked me an exterior wash with clay bar, wax, and polish for a reasonably competitive price. The car felt so sleek and smooth. The whole thing took about 3 hours, in which they called for a heads up before the car was ready for pick up.

      Wonderful service done by Jason and excellent communication with Steve! I will definitely be back to get more services with them. Highly recommend!

      Exceeded all expectations. Jason did a great Job on my Lexus ES 350. I bought this from a family member who didn't take care of it, and they brought the leather seats back to life and did a great job cleaning every crevasse. Worth every penny. Thank you!

      Super quick and efficient. Squeezed me in the evening before 4th of July in order to take care of an rust/oil stain that dyed my white car from a pipe leak. Quickly got the job done and for a decent price as well! I was very grateful to have my car looking back to normal and stain free before the holiday and business closures!

      Wow! Jason did a fantastic job detailing my car. We were "blown out of the water" when we came to pick up the car.
      The car never looked so good! Will definitely be returning to get our other cars detailed.

      Have been looking for a reliable and afforable detail shop in sd that can take care of my new suv and I'm glad I came across these guys!

      They replied so quickly on Yelp when I inquired. I set my appointment for an exterior wash. The price was so great especially since they did such an awesome job! My car looked completely new. Jason took care of everything for me and also made sure to double check with any other concerns I had, such as scratches. It took a little over 4 hours.

      You will pull up to a closed gate. Do not call the number that is on the gate! That is not their number. There's two business in that spot. Call the number that you texted when you booked an appointment and they will buzz you right in.

      There is a market and a coffee shop across the street if you wanted to wait but they will also text you when it is ready!

      The exterior detail was so well done and the interior wipe down was just as beautiful. Dust free, everything. Way cleaner than how I received it from the dealership. You can tell they took their time. Will recommend them to anybody looking to get their car detailed and I will definitely be back! Thanks Jason!

      Easy booking process (call for availability), and Jason and Steve were friendly and communicative. I got a mini detail done in 3 hours, and their online pricing is up to date. They paid attention to all the fine details and cleaned my rims way better than I or other hand car wash places could have! Once you pull up to the gate, call the number to have it opened. There's a cafe and brewery with food along their street if you plan on waiting nearby.

      Wow. Im so extremely happy that I decided to take our old Prius to the Detail Guys!

      My husband and I just bought a brand new car and it made us realize how neglected our old 2011 Prius was. It had never been detailed and only had basic cleanings. We have a dog and we're worried that an interior detail would cost us an arm and a leg. The Detail Guys we're extremely responsive via Yelp and gave us a quote on the spot.

      They were really flexible and worked with me to reschedule when something came up last minute.

      Upon arriving, I pulled up to a gate and got buzzed in.

      I dropped the car there at 9 am and then walked a few blocks away to do work at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. They texted me and gave me updated as when I could come back to get my car.

      I came back around 2 pm and was SHOCKED at how the car looked. I really really wish I had taken a before photo to show the difference but the Detail Guys was able to remove a decade of grime, crumbs, pet hair, and dust. The controls on the steering wheel used to be illegible because it was covered in grime but now it looks almost new!

      I could tell that the Detail Guys really take pride in their work and I was very grateful. I think the quality of their work far exceeds what they charge.

      I promise we won't wait 10 years before we bring our cars back next time!

      Took my BMW E90 for a detail engine cleaning. Jason was very pleasant to work with. I am very pleased with his work and plan to take my other family car there in the near future!

      Steven is a complete lifesaver! We unknowingly left spilled milk in my wife's car for 3 days. The smell was beyond bad...really bad. My normal detail guys tried to get it out, a friend of mine who has a commercial carpet cleaning van tried to get it out to no success. I called Steven and he told me to bring it right over! The same day! I left it over night and he did an amazing job. There was no attempt at upsell, no shady sales tactics. He managed expectations up front and set a price that I thought was VERY reasonable. He went above and beyond and did an amazing job. We could not be happier. Steven gained a customer for life!

      AMAZING JOB!
