Best place in town. Rodney is great at what he does and his guys are just as great. Perfect place for detailing.

Great guy, takes pride in his work. If you're not satisfied, he's not satisfied... My car comes out looking brand new every time. :)

I am a repeat customer. No one is better. Makes cars look wet when he is finished. This guy gives you a real detail (removes seats etc) not these discount half a$$ jobs. Removes swirls, overspray just amazing work -Todd

Won’t go back detail was garbage owner will tell you exactly what you want to hear but does not deliver. I recommend you get it in writing exactly what he’s going to do and cost. When he can’t deliver on what he says then at least you’ll have it in writing. Very disappointed $600 car wash not a full detail like promised.

Rodney with Independent Detail is by far the unequivocal best detailer in area. For me no one touches my car beside him and his crew. His attention to the smallest detail is a trait that you will not see at other shops....

If you want your car to look like it just came off the show room floor go to Independent Detail, they can also do a quick detail if time is of the essence. I'm always amazed at how good my car looks after an hour and I can chill in their office and work on my laptop. If you can leave it for a few days your vehicle will be gone over with a fine tooth comb and restored to perfection! Inside & out!

I have been with Rodney Bowser and his crew at Independent Detail from brand new, with my 2009 Chevy Tahoe. It will be 6 years this year , He detailed the inside and outside for the first time service,in 2009 and I have been a faithful customer every Friday at his shop for him to do his magic , that keeps me looking like new since the day I baught it.,Independent Detail and Rodney are amazing he can do anything in the most professional and prestigious way , and can tackle the most almost impossible jobs and make them like new , I am so impressed with him and his products , he can do anything and everything and is not satisfied unless its perfect I know this because I am the same way , any little imperfection he can fix and if he cant he knows who to call that usually comes to his business and fixes it on the spot he only uses the best no shortcuts.We just recently baught a new Chevy Silverado 2500HD four wheel drive and he had it in his shop from the lot and did all the services for us, tool box, spray on liner, and then to him to detail and seal the insides and the outsides , picked it up yesterday and it turned out gorgeous absolutely satisfied again in Rodneys wonderful work and his crew if you truly want to preserve your ride and keep it shiney and new ,take it to Rodney Bowser at Independent Detail, you wont be sorry ime gonna be there forever that's for sure, I couldn't be more satisfied and will never take it anywhere else.

I don't even know where to begin.....It's NOT every day you run into ppl like Rodney! He was AMAZING!!!!! My son was returning from the Military (Korea), and his father and I had the opportunity to "pick" his new car before he returned. He's always has his eye on the Dodge Challenger, so that's what he got....lol I negotiated w/Dodge to throw in a stripe/sticker. Dodge sent us to Independent Detail and that's where the story begins.....They did an AWESOME job on his car and he couldn't have been more thrilled when he first laid eyes on it. Everything was done in a timely manner (as promised) and service was A-1....My son will be adding a wing on the trunk and we will DEFINITELY be going back to Independent Detailing for that. I don't usually do reviews but I absolutely had to on this one!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Top notch service! Couldn’t have been happier with the way things went. On top of that Rodney is about as good a guy as you’ll find and the work they do is amazing. The cars they are trusted with speaks to their attention to detail. It’s worth stopping in just to see the cars in the shop. I’ll never use another shop in Bakersfield.

Oh my God where do I begin, I dropped my baby off and when I got him back you could have ate off the carpet it was so clean. They clean every square inch of the vehicle, it looked like a brand new car. I don't know how they do it but they're amazing, the whole crew is very professional! Also they can do a car wash inside and out in about an hour if you don't have a lot of time.

Our black Ford Explorer had some terrible water spots from sprinkler overspray. Rodney and his team detailed the exterior and interior of our car. It hasn’t looked this good since we drove it brand new off the lot. Highly recommend Independent Detail.

I went in to get a car that I just bought to get detailed a while ago and Rodney and his guys did SUCH an amazing job. My car had paint all on the side and they got it right off and didnt leave any paint on there got it looking brand new on the inside and the outside. Rodney even made the inside of my car smell like it was an actual brand new car. I also had my jack in the trunk of my car and I had forgotten to take it out and I ended up forgetting it at his shop. Rodney texted me telling me that he had my jack and I had forgotten and got so busy with other stuff I forgot to get it. I texted him after like 2 months and he said he still has it and he said that it is there waiting for me. These people have amazing service! And I really recommend going to here if you want to have a nice clean car and a smile along with it.

I had Independent Detail do a wash and wax on my 2014 Impala and I was overly satisfied with the end result, the customer service, and it was completed in the time frame stated. I have never met Rodney before then and he is one cool Dude! He takes pride in his work and seems to be a very greatful Man. I wish I would of found out about here years ago. I will definitely be taking my vehicles back to Rodney and crew.

Great service and friendly people, car ended up looking better than when it was new. Black car or not Rodney and his team of specialists will make your ride stand out in every way

Rodney did a job that went above and beyond. The quality of the work he did cleaning and waxing my vehicle was worth more than the price! My vehicle has a lot of scratches from four wheeling, and 120,000 miles.

Exceptional service, every time. I’ve been to a lot of shops over the years, and none compare to the level of care and craftsmanship you get here. Rodney runs this place with integrity, precision, and pride and it shows in everything they do. What really sets this shop apart is the attention to detail. They don’t just “fix” things, they take the time to make sure it’s done right. You can tell they treat every car like it’s their own, whether it’s a daily driver or a classic restoration. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly well-trained. Communication is clear and honest, no surprises, no upselling, just solid work and straight answers. I’ve recommended this place to friends and family without hesitation, and I’ll keep doing so. If you're looking for a shop that values quality and stands behind their work, this is it.

This is the shop you want working on your vehicle—hands down. Rodney is truly salt of the earth—an honest, hardworking, all-around great guy. I trust him implicitly with my cars, and when you see the quality of his shop and the caliber of vehicles other people also bring in, you’ll understand why. He’s built a team of top-tier technicians and holds them to an incredibly high standard. They don’t cut corners—ever. If you want it done right the first time, bring it here. Otherwise, you might find yourself paying twice when you end up coming to Rodney after another shop lets you down. Every single visit has been a positive experience. I can’t say enough about how professional, skilled, and straightforward these guys are. Seriously—drop by, take a look around, and see the difference for yourself.

Rodney and his crew did a knock out job on my son’s first truck. It was in pretty bad shape when I dropped it off and Independent Detail completely transformed it. Can’t say enough about this group of guys and their skill and passion for all things vehicle! Thank you!

My brand new Tacoma got scratched really bad in a car wash and everybody told me I have to get it repainted and there is absolutely no way to buff it out.Then after multiple quotes and referrals I came across Rodney and he dropped everything he was doing and buffed a test spot for me and power washed my truck. So I hired him to buff my complete truck and I couldn’t be happier with the job Rodney and his guys did. Rodney saved me from repainting my brand new truck at 3000. I cannot believe what his crew did.
