All reviews for McBride Custom Detailing

Hands down Tom is the best auto and house detailing business in town. Attention to details were incredible and my car interior looked brand new after 4 years of use and abuse with a dog. Tom is professional, uses the highest quality products and results will surpass your expectations.

My experience with car detailers has not been the best. In the past, I have had detailers claim they provide quality work, but when I find my door jambs are still dirty, my windows are still smudged, dust still on my instrument cluster... frustration settles in as I watch my money taken away from me by people who have no pride in the job they are doing. That all changed when I met Tom from McBride Custom Detailing. I have never seen someone be so passionate about making cars clean and shiny. While Tom is based in Oceanside, CA, he has made special exceptions for me up here in in central Orange County. I have used him for about 5 years now and I have seen his processes, tools and products evolve. To me, this means he changes as new technologies and methods become available which translates into a better service. For those of you who are on the fence about having your car detailed, let me tell you this, Tom will not disappoint. Give him a shot and I promise you, you will want him to come back to clean all of your cars and your house as well. Keep up the good work Tom!

Tom did a great job on my car. Excellent customer service with his auto detailing business and would definitely recommend him especially if you're in our around the
Oceanside California area. He makes sure that every detail of your car is clean so it's ready to shine on the road. Thank you!

Tom is impressive! I’ve had details before, but he cleaned and found areas no one else has. He found children’s toys and hidden treasures from the original owner that no other of my detailers, or the dealership I purchased from, were able to get to! On top of the amazing interior work, he applied the same level of detail to the exterior. My car now looks and feels brand new! Thanks Tom!

I recently purchased a new vehicle and enlisted Tom to apply a ceramic coat to it - and all I can say is I am sold on McBride Custom Detailing! His attention to detail and communication are like no other. Ceramic coats are a long, tedious process with extensive prep that must be done well and Tom put his all into it from start to finish, even with the complicated exterior styling of my car. I got frequent updates with pictures throughout the day and he was proud to show off his work when it came time to pick up. And, should there be a problem he's ready to make it right. Plus, just in talking to him you can tell that he truly loves making cars beautiful and gets joy from a job well done - this is what you want to see in an auto detailer. I've detailed all of my cars myself until now (and it was a chore), but I'm looking forward to using Tom's maintenance services to keep my car looking great!

If you are looking for someone to do a superior job cleaning your home, Tom is the guy! My wife and I hired Tom because we needed someone last minute when we had sold our home (3 story condo) and were going to be handing the keys over within a matter of days. Once completed, our home looked like an entirely different home as it was spotless!!! Tom is so detailed that while cleaning he found one of my wife’s favorite rings in the carpet that had been missing for over a year!!! I cannot tell you how good of a job he did, and would want anyone and everyone to know this so that they can have a great experience with a trustworthy company such as his!

Our experience with Tom was nothing short of amazing. He arrived on time , was very efficient and knowledgeable of his work .Tom was very conscientious and considerate about taking excellent care of our home. He did an amazing cleaning job,!!!! In addition, Tom was pleasant and easy to talk to.
Tom is a very polite and respectful young man , teamed with great work ethics, a plus ,plus !!
We highly recommend Tom and will definitely be using his services again soon.

Wow ! Just wow !! Thomas did such an amazing job !! Not only is his work amazing but also is his customer service . He definitely takes pride in his work and puts his all. My car was I wanna say what seemed almost permanently damaged with stains. He was completely honest with me and said he would try his best which I completely understood cause it was in super bad shape. Well let me say he definitely did his BEST and literally all the stains are gone! I couldn’t believe it. Thank you Thomas for doing such an amazing job and being such a kind humble person to work with !

Tom's detailing of my X3 was a fantastic experience. He returned my car, inside and out, to like new condition. He really cares about providing exceptional service and has the knowledge and ability to provide the best auto detailing available. Unbelievable service. You will not find better service. BTW, I am an impartial reviewer and found him on Google a week ago.

Great detail on my truck! I have animals and it looks brand new. Also great customer service - super flexible with drop off and pick times for working people. Highly recommend!

Talk about service with a smile! Mr. McBride's attention to detail is nothing short of meticulous. He came to my office and detailed my car as I continued to work.
Extremely convenient, cost-effective, and conscientious!

Update 11/29/2023:
Over two years later and I’m moving away and I will miss Tom so dang much!
Thank you for all that you did for my special edition vehicle and taking that extra care with it! Matte finish paint has never looked so good!
Thanks for driving to my work every time to detail it!

Tom did an excellent job. I have never seen my windows so clean! He showed up right on time for the estimate and the work. He is very upbeat and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend him to give you a high quality cleaning experience. Thank you Tom!

I got WAY more than I paid for. I found my new detail guy!! This guy is legit and seriously takes the time to do it right. I can tell he loves what he does and is super friendly. Thank you Tom!!

Tom did an excellent job detailing a vehicle that had been neglected for years. I highly recommend him for all your cleaning and detailing projects. He is kind and professional, shows up on time and gets the job done! Thanks again!

Tom and William arrived on time and began work immediately. Their pace was rapid and intense for the 8 hours they were here. Not only do they work hard, they are also very nice people. Absolutely the best house cleaning we have ever had and we were more than satisfied. We look forward to having Tom and William's services from now on. When they say clean they mean CLEAN. Can't imagine having anyone else take care of our home.

Wow what a difference! I’ve never had my car detailed and, after Tom’s thorough, efficient cleaning and amazing attention to detail, it truly looks like I just bought it off the lot! Tom was friendly, easy to work with, and transparent about price and services. I particularly appreciated his communication and punctuality. I will definitely use McBride Custom Detailing again and be happy to share the referral.

I have had my small SUV for over 6 years through raising two small children. It had never been detailed. Tom made the car look as good as new! I was hoping for miracles as I was starting to think that I needed a new car due to the wear and tear on mine, especially with a light grey interior. Kidding aside, Tom was meticulous in detailing the entire interior including hot steaming the ceiling and taking out scuffs and stains. My light grey leather seats sparkled again and my leather steering wheel had grip like before. Tom had to spend more time to complete the job than he had estimated due to the condition of my interior. I very much appreciated his attention to detail!! His friendly demeanor is also a plus! Thank you, Tom, for the amazing job! I love my car again!

Simply amazing! I needed all the exterior windows on our home cleaned after an 8 month extensive exterior remodel. I found Tom through Nextdoor where he had excellent reviews and had been referred by many neighbors so decided to give him a call. Tom first of all is super professional and courteous, I never bothered to get other quotes as I thought his pricing was super fair and I really liked his attitude. The day of the cleaning Tom was on time and quickly jumped into the massive task of cleaning our windows covered in dust, dirt, paint and stucco in some areas. He took his time to do things right the first time and the job he did was absolutely outstanding! He has an amazing attention to detail which shows in his work and he goes over and above to do the job right. My wife who has a very keen eye said that she has never seen our windows so clean. We will definitely be using Tom again and have plans to just schedule regular maintenance so things don't built up. if you need home or auto detailing, I recommend Tom and McBride Detailing all the way!

Tom is a nice man, hard working and does his job to the fullest. Highly recommend his services, he does an outstanding job.

From my first call to Tom to get some information about him and his business, he was friendly, professional, and communicative. I could tell he took pride in his work, all of this was confirmed by the amazing job he did on my car. Tom stayed in touch all through the process and sent pictures, all while taking the time to do it right. His attention to detail is great. The car came out looking better than I thought it would and I will definitely be taking it back to Tom for maintenance as well as other services. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Tom!

My car looked like new when Tom finished. His attention to detail is amazing especially since my car needed extra special care. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
