Andrewās attention to detail and knowledge is amazing! He took a keyed line that was across 4 panels on our truck completely out. Next he applied the opti coat ceramic to my car and she looks brand new! The ā51 MG is next, just in time for car week. āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø service!

Andrew at A Brilliant Shine has outdone himself again! I just picked my car up from a window tint and annual Opti-Coat maintenance wash. The tint looks amazing and I canāt wait to see how it handles the heat/glare when it warms up. For the annual detail/wash, he removed my wheels, fully cleaned them and recoated (much needed for glossy black multi-spoke wheels!). As for the Opti-Coat Pro I canāt recommend it enough. Iām entering my 2nd year of its 7-yr warranty, which A Brilliant Shine performed. Washing the car (which I do by hand) is a breeze as the water just rolls off and there is zero need to wax. Andrew is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and truly loves what he does which is reflected in his work. If you want quality and consistency, this is the place for you!

Andrew and his team are the best customer service I have ever received for any type of service industry. His pricing is phenomenal, he is extremely knowledgeable, and his professionalism is second to none. They are very honest and do a great job. Communication is top notch! Wish I would have known about this business years ago! Would've saved me a lot of money as well as headaches!!

Just picked up my 98 Porsche 911 from Ceramic Pro in Carmel Valley. Words cannot describe how great my car looks. It hasn't looked this good since it was brand new! Thank you Andrew, Chase and Landon. You now have a customer for life.

Let me start by saying that as automotive enthusiasts my wife and I treat our cars as members of the family. This means we strive to take exceptional care of them and Andrew at ABS most definitely shares the passion. We took my wifeās pride and joy (1965 Volvo Amazon) to Andrew for paint correction, ceramic coating, and paint protection film and I couldnāt be happier with the result! He was able to make the paint look like glass and fix a lot of errors in the paint job. Iām not easily impressed...but he went above and beyond in his attention to detail and quality of work. I cannot praise the results enough! Simply incredible. So if you are looking to have your car detailed, wrapped, coated, or tinted then this is the absolute best you can do. He was prompt in returning my calls, delivered when he said he would be done, and is very affordable. We will now be bringing our kids to him for spa day once a month!

I was introduced to Andrew through a friend who was getting his car detailed, after talking with him and seeing how well my friends car looked I decided to get my car done as well. Andrew is a true professional, he walked me through his process and gave me a quote upfront. A lot of places dance around that part but he was upfront. When the job was done I had no ride to pickup my car so he came and picked me up. I am very happy with how the car turned out, looks like I just drove off the show room floor. There were some extra things he did that made it pop even more, I appreciate that. If you are looking to have your car detailed by a true professional give Andrew a call, you wonāt be disappointed.

I like doing business with businesses in Carmel Valley (even though I live in Carmel-by-the-sea and do lots of business in Monterey). I find businesses there to generally be more customer-centric, satisfaction-focused and harder working. I can now add A Brilliant Shine to my list of highly rated CV businesses. As others state in reviews, the ownerās focus on communication and customer-satisfaction is front-and-center in every interaction I had with him. Heās a great explainer, informative, flexible and helpful. Based on his advice, I was able to choose the car detailing package that was right for me. My Mazda had never been professionally detailed, and all the little paint scratches and general haze made the 10-year-old car look really tired. Then I stupidly tried to remove some glue with an SOS pad and left a small spot on the driverās side door badly scratched. I got a bid from a mobile paint and dent repair company to repair my damage, but I just didnāt trust the guy. And he insisted on completely repainting big parts of the car for big money. On the other hand, Andrew at A Brilliant Shine said he could not only repair my scratched driverās side door, but could give the whole car a refresh. Cut to the finished product: It looks terrific. All the swirl marks and scratches are gone. The damage I did with the SOS pad is no longer noticeable. And the two-tone paint has a gorgeous, vibrant, deep-dark look and feel ā just like when it rolled off the assembly line in 2014. The interior is spotless. And Andrew even provided me with a post-wash spray to keep the paint looking good. Iām thrilled with the results and highly recommend A Brilliant Shine.

I canāt say enough wonderful things about A Brilliant Shine! Andrew was so incredibly helpful, honest, and went beyond to make sure my experience was exceptional! From the first phone call to the very last Andrew made sure I was happy and all my questions were answered. I want to thank Andrew and his crew for their beautiful work. I am a forever customer and will share with others what a great place A Brilliant Shine is.

The team at A Brilliant Shine applied PPF and Ceramic Pro coating to my two Porsches and I could not be more thrilled at the results. The cars look better than new, the care and attention to detail the team gave my cars really "shines" through! Andrew is such a great guy and is so laser focused on Customer Satisfaction it makes working with A Brilliant Shine a great experience.

Andrew and his guys know their stuff. My 8 year old Benz looks better than when I bought it new. The proof of how good they areā¦Iām bringing them my second car and then my boyfriendās and my best friend and my dadās. This is the place, they can do it all and they take pride in blowing their customers minds. They found stuff I needed to fix I havenāt even noticed that could have gotten me into trouble. Trust me. Iām so glad I have them.

I have a 1991 BMW 850 I I have owned since 1993 - Itās a labor of love to enter restoration years as parts become unavailable the vehicle becomes rare .I had a team for my car 2 years ago I moved here to Monterey and itās time to put the BMW on the list for some care heās getting dirty! I shopped around once I met Andrew we made the appointment and I could not have been more excited and THRILLED - My car was glowing - Easy process no hassle -same frame of mind and outstanding pricing ! I have a few other projects I know I have this part of my 30+ year old cars care team chosen for detailing !! It was soooo gorgeous I drove round all night taking pictures of it all around town !!

A Brilliant Shine indeed! If our new Bronco Sport was off the showroom floor, A Brilliant Shine put it on the podium. Paint Correction and opti-coat pro made our 2021 Bronco Sport as close to perfect as possible. Andrew and his team did an exceptional job tinting as well. Top service and follow through given. Picking up vehicles from A brilliant Shine feels like Christmas. Picture dull and faded when you look at the redemptive work Andrew did to my mother in laws Mercedes convertible. Andrew knows much more than buffing and polishingāheās an exceptional resource.

I can not say enough great things about Andrew, and his amazing team here. I brought my new Mustang Mach-e GT here, and had PPF put on the front end, a three year ceramic coating top to bottom, a pair of racing stripes, and the front windows tinted to match the rest of the stock tint. My car looks amazing (Andrew said itās the best one heās ever seen)! Their service was on time, and perfect. I would recommend them all-day, every-day!
