"A Perfect Experience" is a fitting name for this business. Shawn is a master of his craft, and he was able to explain all the details of his process in an way that was easy to understand (I had no prior knowledge about ceramic coating). He is highly professional but also friendly and personable. He went above and beyond by lending me his personal car while mine needed an extra days work; which he delivered to my home himself. Talk about service! Not to mention my car turned out better than I imagined. Couldn't be happier with the result and service I received.

APE was the most popular and highest rated shop when I was searching the web for ceramic coating for my Mercedes. They absolutely did not disappoint.Shawn, made the entire process very easy and made getting my car back effortless.I appreciate the way that they went above and beyond and I felt like I was getting a good deal as well as giving me some freebies along the way ( free chrome delete on the door handles and some trim ). Would recommend 100%. Make sure to be ready to spend a good chunk, ( a little above average pricing for ceramic coating ) but at the same time, also be ready to have your mind blown by the amazing attention to detail and unmatched value for every dollar you spend with them.

I would highly recommend this place! They definitely changed the look of my truck. The owner is very knowledgeable and doesn t just tell you what you want to hear. He explains the process and will make it understandable to somebody who doesn t know detailing. Very friendly place and a beautiful work space. Would highly recommend to anybody who needs any detailing done. Definitely one of the best in the business and I will definitely be bringing all my future vehicles here!

Overall 10/10 experience. The owner was very friendly, straight forward, very helpful & he got us in immediately. My car was a mess when we brought it in & it smelled terrible due to a milk spill. The staff was VERY nice & considerate of our time. My car looks BRAND NEW like the day I got it & it smells GREAT! I won t take my vehicle anywhere else from here on! I highly recommend them to anyone in the area. They WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.

The best detailing experience! I often feel like some of these guys will try and cheat you but not here. The owner was straight forward and listened to all of my needs and concerns on my car and delivered in every area. My car looks like the day I bought it 5 years ago. The staff at APE is Kind, honest, and considerate. Overall first round pick for detailing shops in Sonoma.

When shopping around for a detailer I am very cautious of where I take my automobile. My car is my pride and joy and I want to make sure wherever I take it, the car gets the respect it deserves. (I say this because Ive gone places where miles are added on the car that were unnecessary, meaning joy rides, ect) Shawn is the owner of APE Luxury and I couldn't be happier with the service he has provided. He was very inviting, knowledgable, and efficient with his work. I initially started with getting my car ceramic coated. After that Ive come to APE for my periodic details. Let me tell you guys the Level 4 detail is so worth it. Owning a muscle car I do enjoy looking at the engine and admiring it from time to time and when you get an engine bay detail it puts a smile on my face like I just got a new car. Ive owned my car since 2018 and coming home from his shop continues to keep my baby looking BRAND NEW! Give APE a shot if you're looking for prestigious auto detailing and employees that respect and value your vehicle!Services: Full body wash, Engine detailing, Auto detailing, Wheel washing, Car waxing

I had a full car detailing at APE Auto Spa and I couldn't have been more thrilled with how my Scion FR-S came back to me looking extra beautiful and extra brand new! From booking my appointment with Dominique, who was so attentive and even texted me with updates, to Javier and Ray who were both professional and worked dillegently to make my car look gorgeous, my "beginning to end" experience was truly top notch. And Shawn the owner even came out and offered me a beverage while I was waiting for the car to be finished. The protective wax/finish has been especially awesome because after two weeks, it still has kept a really solid shine and sparkle. If you want your car looking amazing and also know it will be a lasting detail, then APE is your place. I know I'll be back!Services: Steam cleaning, Full body wash, Headlight polishing, Auto detailing, Wheel washing, Auto interior vacuuming, Car waxing

I used their training services. The owner is a IDA trainer and airforce 1 hand selected detailer. These guys do qualify work and are highly respected in this industry. Ceramic coating is their specialty and they use only the best products.I am a happy customer and would highly recommend this establishment to everyone.

If your looking for an auto detailing shop that provides, HIGH QUALITY work, from excellent customer service, setting up next day appointments, & to fixing all areas of concern on your vehicle, you must go to A.P.E.! This is my second time using their services, & once again, I m amazed at how they can make my car, look brand new! The owner Shawn, offers fair & affordable prices, which is greatly appreciated. They also helped me with transporting my car to & from their shop, which was greatly appreciated, with my limited work schedule. It s an enjoyable experience, without the pressure that you d find at the bodyshops. I m a customer for life & I feel great with supporting a local shop, that truly is A Perfect Experience!

An amiable and professional staff. My 2017 Kia optima hybrid is my daily driver, and I just went in for the stage 1 package. They have a clean and comfortable waiting room to lounge out in while you wait for your vehicle to be serviced. After the car was done being detailed, I was shown some minor imperfection in the paint that I wasn't able to see. I wasn't pressured into upgrading to a more expensive service. However, I can tell every staff member cares about the quality at the end of the detail. I felt thrilled with the results of the service since I have been neglecting to get this done.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE! THIS IS MY EMAIL TO THE OWNER. NEVER HEARD FROM HIM. PLEASE READ EVEN THOUGH IT IS LONG. WE HAVE TO STOP BRINGING OUR BUSINESS TO THESE ESTABLISHMENTS!!I was at the your shop on Saturday, 4/17. I requested your Stage 3 package. When I arrived a gentlemen came out and assessed my car. He said my paint was contaminated, may be using the wrong word, but basically it needed to be treated to correct the problem. He said an extra hour labor. I live at The Sea Ranch, off highway 1 so I knew the salt air may be affecting the paint. It is one of the reason I wanted my car fully detailed.I dropped the car off at 11:30. I arrived to pick it up at 5. My car was still being worked on. He said another 10-15 minutes. He had the outer windows to do and then the Sealant.As I am walking around my car there is dust on every surface so thick I could drag my finger across any service and see it on my finger. Since the Sealant had not been applied yet, I was wondering how logical is it to put a sealant on a car with dust all over it. Not to mention I just paid extra to have the paint treated. I asked the man in charge of your garage why my car was full of dust. He said, "there is dust everywhere. "I waited the 10-15 minutes watching the outside windows get done, the tires treated, the sealant put on over the dust. I asked your office lady how long my car had been worked on. She said from drop off to when I arrived except for a 1/2 hour lunch break (she could have said an hour lunch break). That is 51/2 - 6 hours of labor. I asked her why my car did not look like the 2 vehicles that were being detailed in the garage, which there was plenty of room to have my car worked on inside.......not getting dust all over it. The windshield on these vehicles alone made my windows look like they had not been cleaned in awhile. She said those vehicles were on a maintenance program. Maintenance?????? This is my first visit and my car looks nothing like those.On Tuesday, I took my car to another detail shop and asked them to evaluate my car for a service recommendation. He made his recommendation. When I told him what had just transpired with your shop, showing him the list of Stage 3 services I paid for along with the extra hours and money to restore the paint. He said I got the equivalent of a $55-$125 service you get at car wash facilities. I PAID $450. I drove home to The Sea Ranch on Wednesday. It was a few hours before dust when the sun is right on your windshield. I could not see anything out of my windows. I had to stop in Jenner to clean my windows before I started up the mountain.I have pictures and the detail shop agreed to document what he found when assessing my car. Before I post about my experience with APE, I would like to hear from the owner of this company.Services: Steam cleaning, Full body wash, Exhaust tip polishing, Headlight polishing, Seat shampooing, Engine detailing, Auto detailing, Wheel washing, Paint protection, Interior scenting, Auto interior vacuuming, Car waxing, Paint repair

Shawn and crew always do an amazing job for me. They just recently detailed my truck prior to it going on the used sale market. It looks brand new and it's almost 20 years old. Their work will definitely attract potential buyers to it. I'll be back soon at APE Luxury Auto Spa to have my new car and motorhome detailed. Thank you APE!Service: Auto detailingService: Auto detailing

I'm still amazed by the professional qualifications and paint correction skills of the team here. They truly know how to refresh a swirled and pinstriped black paint to look better than when it came off the factory line. Black paint shows everything in direct sunlight, and it was insane how immaculate it looks after APE Luxury Auto Spa cleaned it up. I am exceptionally pleased with the quality of work done to my truck and highly recommend it if you're looking to make your paint sparkle.

Shawn and his team were super professional! Took my 2021 Ram TRX here and they definitely took care of it. They all take pride in their work. I was super nervous to take my vehicle anywhere in Sonoma County because not many people or businesses do honest true genuine work.... but they definitely earned my business and deserve everyone elses! I love to see a business proving their worth!! Thanks again guys! Ill be sending everyone your way!Service: Paint protection

See previous review. OWNER RESPONDED. Two hours after posting my review I heard from the owner. Who then lied so many times in his email it is not worth my time to prove to him he is lying. My 28 year old daughter was with me. The owner said he reached out many times but I did not respond. Really! I was ripped off of $450 and I am not going to return his call/email. I talked to his office manager 1 week after the experience to make sure he received my email. I told her she and the staff were professional and my email was not a reflection of her or the man working on my car.. She said she forwarded it to him. I asked her to let him know I was going to write a review.The owner said he has on camera, everything that was done to my car and threatened to post it. I asked that he post it. He also said I was rude from the very moment I got there. The recording will show this is a lie.Aren't we all so overwhelmed with liars in our lives, in our government, everywhere!!Please trust me, do not take your vehicle there. The owner has now shown to be unprofessional and a liar.Services: Headlight polishing, Auto detailing, Paint protection, Window tinting, Car waxing, Paint repair

Had adhesive stuck on my car door from a sticker that I couldn t get off. Called up APE & made a time to come in. Took it in & Shawn was really helpful, friendly, kind. He took care of the problem with ease. Will definitely be returning for a full car detail & any other paint related problems I may run into in the future. Highly recommend this place. Very professional & friendly!!Service: Paint repair

Ape Luxury Auto Spa handles all my car detailing in Santa Rosa. They have done a ceramic coating on my new car and now it always looks so fresh and so clean. The best part about the paint correction and ceramic coat service is the car washes easily. They even educated me about how to properly wash it on my own. Sounds silly but there really is a proper way to wash it in between details if you want to avoid paint swirls and not using dirty sponges or water.Services: Seat shampooing, Engine detailing, Auto detailing, Wheel washing, Paint repair

My wife had her Challenger wrapped at Wraps-n-Motion and they suggested for us to take it to APE for a ceramic coating to protect the vinyl. We took the car in to APE to discuss the process. We were blown away by their knowledge, attention to detail, professionalism & friendliness. The results were nothing short of excellent & we are beyond satisfied. Thank you APE for helping give my wife the true hotwheels experience she's wanted for many years.

We had a sap like material on my Cadillac and Shawn not only cleaned that up he made my car look like new again using the clay bar treatment. He brought the pearl while color out and it looks fabulous again. Thank you Shawn for your attention to all the little details of my car. We ll be back with my husbands truck. Thank you again Shawn!Services: Full body wash, Clay bar treatment, Auto interior vacuuming

Yet another positive experience with A.P.E.By far the best in customer service, product knowledge & timely delivery. It took us a while to get it on the books due to scheduling conflicts, but once we nailed down the date & time Shawn roled out the red carpet & got the job done in just a few short hours. This man is serious & passionate about his detail game & if your looking for the best....look no further!

I had a biohazardous spill in the back of my SUV. The smell alone was horrific accompanied with the concern of blood born pathogens & bacteria. Shawn put me at ease explaining in detail the techniques that would be used to ensure complete decontamination and odor removal to make the vehicle safe (and odor free).Services: Steam cleaning, Seat shampooingServices: Steam cleaning, Seat shampooing

If you want to be over charged for subpar work this is the place. The owner is the most cheesy unprofessional person I have ever met, he would rather showoff, and talk about how great he is than do work.Services: Full body wash, Auto detailing, Car waxingServices: Full body wash, Auto detailing, Car waxing
