My car's exterior now looks better than new! I went in because I wanted my car's exterior to look 'new' all the time, especially being black, so I was interested in paint protection/preservation. Nick provided incredible service and craftsmanship at a huge value for my 22 Forester. He analyzed my car and provided me with several options. I went with a wrap on the front end (the more exposed areas) and a ceramic coating on the rest of it, and he's also treated some specific areas like the dash and inside the door handles. As far as results, I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm not sure how he makes that wrap conform to all the creases and crevices of the car body, but Nick's work is masterful. I am very satisfied with my experience.

My neighbor recommended Colberns to me and I am soooo happy with the results. Nick responded to my inquiry within hours and I was in his shop the very next day getting my car fixed. The work itself did not take long at all. The price was very reasonable too! Definitely recommend Colberns Detailing!

My car was transformed! I highly recommend Colberns Detailing. Nick will take care of you in a professional and knowledgeable manner. He applied XKote to my car which was severely scratched and faded. It’s yellow and fogged headlights were also treated with a paint protection film. When I picked up my car, it looked brand new! Like right off the showroom, possibly even better. The scratches were gone and the headlights were returned to a like-new condition.

I went to Nick for a full body paint protection film (Xpel) and ceramic coating for my 2022 Grand Wagoneer. This is actually a second vehicle which Nick done for me. The first one was 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Nick is a professional and explained everything to me. He prepared all the calculations and help me decided which option is good for me and what to choose. It was very easy process and Nick always does something more as a surprise. The vehicle is shining even more than from the dealership and it is absolutely stunning. And I am glad that I don’t have to worry about rocks on the highway and pinstripes from trees and parking lots 😁 I am extremely satisfied with his job. I’ll be definitely back with my next cars.

I was looking for someone to hand wash my truck because most businesses in the Ventura area are drive through first. I came to yelp and headed to Colberns. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the owner himself and told him what I wanted. In return he gave me options in detail and it wasn’t like a sales pitch. It was straight forward what he could do to make his customer happy. We walked out to my truck so he could give me an estimate on what it would cost to detail the outside. Nick explained what he was going to do and gave me a quote. I was planning on needed to make an appt but he was able to get me in a couple hours later. I got lucky! When I came back there was no wait and my truck was taken back to get washed. The lobby is really nice, they offer refreshments of all kinds. After they were done Nick came up front and he didn’t just treat me like a business transaction. We had a fun conversation, I felt really valued. I instantly started asking about more services. Nick walked me to my truck and noticed there was a tire that needed dressing so called his crew to address it. In my opinion, it was perfect already but he wanted to make sure I left with the utmost quality. The whole experience was great and I’d give 10 stars if I could. Thank you to Nick, Sergio, and the rest of the crew I didn’t meet. You all did an excellent job!

Nick was great to work with, he listened what I wanted to achieve and then offered various options and prices. The results of the paint correction and ceramic coating are amazing and the paint simply pops and looks outrageous!

Practically a brand new car after Nick’s outstanding detailing. Nick is both highly personable and extremely accountable, and there’s a lot of trust that he will do a fantastic job. I always learn a new thing or two about vehicle maintenance when I bring my car in, and Nick is a top-notch communicator. This is business at its best!

I took my 23’ Tacoma in and Nick pointed me in the right direction for my truck needs to keep the paint protected long term. Nick’s truly a professional at his craft and he even helped me with to and from the enterprise rental place. It’s nice to do business with people who care. Support local 🤙🏽

I have used Nick for a number of vehicle projects, detail, ceramic coatings and protective films. Nick and his staff are true professionals/artists with what they do.They take personal pride in every vehicle they touch. I recently had my 2022 Sprinter ceramic coated and protective film placed in exposed areas. All I can say is WOW the work they do is truly top shelf. Communication is always excellent, they are only shop I would recommend for any and all car, boat or RV detail needs.

I had Nick and Sergio do a simple wash on my Road Glide before selling it. Almost made me change my mind with how good it came out - and for a great price, too! Great service, awesome products, and very knowledgeable! Even explained how he can do Paint Protection Film on bikes for the future!

My C4 Corvette got splattered with white paint and was in need of a serious detail. I brought it into Colberns and could not be happier with the result. In addition to getting the white paint removed, they were able to get my car looking like-new and added a ceramic coating to ensure it stays clean and shiny. Working with Nick was great and my car has never looked better! I'll definitely be bringing my Corvette back to Colberns for all of my future detailing needs. See before and after pics:

If you want honesty, quality, and flawless results, Nick at Colberns Detailing is the one you can trust. I cannot say enough about my experience with Nick and Colberns Detailing. After dealing with a nightmare at another shop, I was referred to Nick — and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made for my brand-new $135,000 BMW X7 M60i. From the very beginning, Nick set himself apart. He provided outstanding customer service, keeping me fully updated and communicating every step of the way. He didn’t just take the car in and disappear for days — he checked in, explained what was happening, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. That level of care is rare, and it made all the difference. Nick is the kind of professional who clearly takes immense pride in his reputation. He is honest, straightforward, and transparent about every detail — no upselling, no games, no shortcuts. In fact, I ended up asking him to do several additional services because I trusted his advice completely. Every single one was worth it. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and the genuine passion he brings to his craft. The quality of work is absolutely top-tier — the finish on my BMW is flawless. He treated my vehicle as if it were his own, and it shows in the results. In an industry where it’s often hard to know who to trust, Nick is a rare find — truly professional, transparent, and committed to doing the job right the first time. After everything I went through, Nick not only restored my car, but he also restored my confidence in professional detailing. It wasn’t just a business transaction — it was an amazing experience where I truly felt valued as a customer. By the end of it, Nick and I felt more like friends than just client and service provider, and that says everything about the way he operates. 👉 I won’t hesitate to bring all my vehicles to Colberns Detailing moving forward. Nick has earned a customer for life. Stay tuned for photos — they’ll speak louder than words about the incredible work Nick did.

Nick and his team do outstanding work. This is the best shop in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Nick takes the time to understand what you want. Then he goes above and beyond. Paint protection, ceramic coating, leather protection, a wrap, Nick is the best. Cars and boats, no one is better, no one is more detailed.

We bought a used car for our high schooler, and the headlights were really fogged over. Colbern’s did an amazing job cleaning them up and added a protective PPF film so they won’t fog up again. They seriously look brand new, and she can see so much better now when driving at night. Super happy with the quality of the work — highly recommend if you want it done right and to last!

My truck looks way better then it did before. Having a black also means taking care of the paint and Nick explained to me the process completely of getting my truck completely ceramic coated, was friendly, very accommodating compared to other shops that were really as open as Nick was when we talked on the phone, got the job done and did a outstanding job. I had multiple questions and a request or two which were fully accommodating so I will definitely be bringing my next car to Nick and getting it completely detailed by Colbern Detailing. First impression do make a big difference and it goes a long ways. The pictures I did my best to get the shine however the gloss in person is the best part.

Nick and his team were awesome and I highly recommend their services. They did a full stealth PPF on my brand new Rivian R1S and did an amazing job. We also had the windows tinted, interior protected and they even threw in a few extras free of charge. We could not be more impressed and we will bring all our vehicles to them moving forward. Thanks Nick!

We brought our 2023 Tesla Y to Nick to get the car wrapped and the windows tinted. Nick was great with his communication and our needs. After a few proposals, we decided to get the whole car wrapped for protection and the windows tinted for interior heat protection. He explained the process and showed us different tinting options. We decided on a minor tint since the Tesla windows were already tinted. The window tint job is flawless. We also decided to get a matte look and it turned out even better than expected. We dropped off the car on Monday and got it back on Friday. We are extremely pleased and happy with the detailing work Nick provided us. We plan on working with Nick again in the future on additional detailing needs.

Second car I’ve entrusted to Colberns. Owner Nick takes time to educate and explain options that match my driving needs. Guarantee you will be happy. Communication is clear and efficient. No surprises. His goal is to make every car shine and have folks ask how we keep our cars so clean! Colberns ceramic coating! Linda DuBois

1 year ago I went to Colberns to have my truck detailed and ceramic coated. Paint protecting film on the bumper and head lights was also done. I brought my girlfriend’s new car in and he recommended rock clear for her car he said the color would be 40% richer and it was. I was very impressed and had my truck rock cleared. What a difference. Nick is very through and knowledgeable about his products. I was so impressed I brought him my trailer. His staff is very conscientious about their work. I highly recommend Colberns detailing for any work that you might need from washing to rock clear and paint protecting film. He can even handle small dents and scratches. 👍👍👍👍👍

The best detail oriented shop out there. Took a pair of headlights i had on my 1999 and brought them back to life with a 10 year PPF (paint protection film). Nick and Sergio here go over and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and pleased with any work done.
