Best money I've ever spent with an auto detailing company. Brought in a vehicle that looked old and thrashed and when they were finished it looked like it came from the dealership.

Sunshine Auto Spa saved my truck and I in a pinch. I woke up to a putrid smell coming from the ventilation system, and discovered a chipmunk had chewed its way into my dashboard, got stuck there, and died. Calling around to my normal shop, as well as the local Toyota dealership, I was unable to find anyone who was willing to help me remove and clean the dead rodent inside my Tacoma. David at Sunshine Auto told me to bring the truck over immediately. He and his team were able to clean the car, steam clean the engine and internal components to ensure healthy and safe surfaces and air, and even made me a metal grill to stop the rodents from chewing their way into the car again in the future. I was worried the truck was totaled or that repairs would cost me and arm and a leg, but Sunshine was able to get the entire cost of my repairs covered through my insurance company and at the same time fixed the rodent problem that nobody else was willing or able to do! Major thanks and a huge recommendation to Sunshine Auto Spa for any of your automobile needs.

Sunshine Auto Spa Restores My Van's Shine!David and his talented team at Sunshine Auto Spa did an amazing job transforming the paint on my van! Last year, I had some body work done and got the whole van painted. Despite regular washes at a local car wash in Nor Cal, I started noticing swirling marks and marring. David quickly diagnosed the problem as scratches from car wash brushes and old towels.Sunshine Auto Spa offered an exterior detail with wax, but I opted for the added protection of a ceramic coat. David patiently explained the entire detailing process and answered all my questions. He even offered valuable tips on future car care, including no-touch washing techniques I never knew existed!When I picked up my van, I was speechless! It looked brand new! All the swirling and marring had vanished, and the faded plastic bumper and trim were magically restored. David and his team exceeded my expectations in every way.If you're looking for a top-notch detailer in the Santa Barbara area, I highly recommend Sunshine Auto Spa. They're true professionals who take pride in their work, and it shows in the finished product.

I had an excellent experience at Sunshine Auto Spa. David was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He always made sure to keep me updated and when I got my car back it looked brand new! I couldn’t be more grateful and happier with the outcome during the process. I would definitely come back.

I can't say enough great things about Sunshine. My 2006 BMW looks BRAND NEW. They did an interior detail and exterior detail, it looks better than the day I got it. Even shampooed the carpets and floor mats. I'm blown away! Great customer service , car was done in one day. So happy. Thank you Sunshine! David was especially helpful and professional. I can't say enough good things.

David and his team are outstanding! We have a 2009 truck we bought new that has been used daily for work and road trips. We considered selling it to buy a new truck. David made an assessment and told me what he could do with the "old" truck. When I returned to his shop the first word I used was "WOW". Yes, we are happy customers who consider Sunshine's work an upgrade of the truck's value. It looks great, just great. Thank you, David!Services: Auto interior vacuuming

Happy with interior, not happy with deceptive practices.I called for a quote to get the interior ONLY done and Dave explain there were packages consisting of Level 1, Level 2, etc., I explained I just wanted the inside done and that was all. He quoted it would be about 250.00, without the levels, but that he would have to see the vehicle first to give a firm quote, so I drove to his business and he looked at the interior, quoting 300.00. This was a Nissan Titan 2021 just bought from the dealership, so it had stained seats and fairly clean floors. I thought the 300.00 was a bit much, but I wanted the “Interior (only!) detailed so I said yes.I again stressed when I got it in there ONLY THE INTERIOR!! I even wrote it down. The girl who helped (she was good rep), said if anything changed she would call. I get back about the 4 hours later and …they went ahead,without my authorization, and washed the exterior. Then tried charging me 50.00 extra dollars. Seriously!!!! Dave gets on the phone with me and I (because I was upset), wouldn’t really let him talk. I was adamant that they didn’t wash the outside truck. He finally spoke and brought up the Levels 1,2 again, saying it included wash and more money..sorry, but when you get a firm quote for one job, that doesn’t mean sneaking in an extra job and using different Levels as an excuse.Again the detailed interior was great and yes the outside really looks good, but that is not what I asked for and he knew this.Just beware of the sly add ons.From other reviews I am not the only one that has gotten this treatment.

my car sat outside parked all summer and I came back to watermarks and some shmutz on the roof. Couldn't get it off in a car wash or hand towel but these guys had no problem. I came back after a couple hours to a brand new car. It looked better than when I first got it. Amazing amazing job.

David and his team are GENIUSES. Seriously, they are the Rhodes Scholar of auto detailing. My 2007 Saab was really bad. I hadn't had a detail in a decade and it was just filthy inside and out. It's a NEW car, minus the dent I need to have vacuumed or sucked out and the driver's seat. Saab leather cracks sooner than other brands. My Nissan Pathfinder LE (1998) lasted much longer. I took a video but will get pictures later and upload to phone. I cannot believe the ceiling. Like no one ever smoked! It's shiny, shiny, shiny. They did the interior and exterior, plus engine. Elite detailing isn't cheap but if , like me, you paid cash for your used car and have no payments, who cares? It's like a couple months car payment or so. Do yourself a favor and call for a quote. The website has no prices but they also do ceramic coating, with several tiers of packages. You can do a mini-detail or just regular car wash but if you leave the car with them for a day, they will give you a NEW CAR back at the day's end. I'm still on Cloud 9. Floating! Every time I see my baby, I smile! PS. THE SB INDEPENDENT BEST OF LIST IS HORRIBLE. The best acupuncturist, not just in SB but California, is Anthony Kar. He's probably the best in America. He wasn't on the list. My friend, Evan Schoolnik Berger, has a food tour company that didn't make the list. My chiropractor and gym made it. Barry Family Chiro and SBAC/SWELL are the best in town. But David's shop should have made the list.
