The Best Places For Car Detailing in Dubai
We assessed the following service providers based on the following criteria:
1. Crystal Shine Auto Centre
1. EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
2. EASE OF SERVICE | ★★★☆☆(3/5) |
3. ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
3.1 Operating Hours | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
3.2 Responsiveness | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
4. PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4.1 Helpfulness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. 2 Turnaround time | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Crystal Shine Auto Centre has been in the car detailing business for over ten years. Their expertise and extensive experience show in their near Google review score of 4.8 and their established clientele.
They offer a massive range of exterior and interior car detailing services:
- Dent removal
- Polishing
- Odor removal
- Nano ceramic paint protection
- Covid-19 sanitation
- Carpet replacement
- Car seat cleaning
As the old chestnut goes, Crystal Shine Auto Centre pretty much does it all. This makes them a reliable choice especially if you need other services aside from car detailing done on your auto.
What’s impressive is they can even accommodate motorcycles, yachts, RVs, and even school buses aside from cars. Talk about range – we like that.
You can spot this auto shop just off Sheikh Zayed Road and it’s even situated near a shopping mall, so they’re very accessible in terms of location. However, they have pretty inconsistent operating hours, so make sure to check their schedule first before going to their shop.
It’s also a bit hard to get a hold of them for inquiries, making it a bit inconvenient to know more about their services. That’s a shame, because they’re actually pretty active on social media, which is usually a good indicator of responsiveness for shops.
Based on our poll of their customers, they are very professional and have a quick turn-around time. In fact, a lot of their clients were pleasantly surprised by the results they got in less than 24 hours.
In some cases, Crystal Shine was even able to finish the services way before the agreed-upon time. So, if you’re in a pinch and need car detailing done quickly, this may be a good option for you.
However, this good service comes with pretty steep pricing – it’s dependent on your order, of course, but the quick way to describe it as not-insane-but-definitely-on-the-high-end.
So, if you’re looking for something more affordable, it might be best to look into other options.
For payment options, they accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, and even Apple Pay. At the very least, you don’t need to worry about your payment method with them.
Pros
- Accessible location
- Wide range of services
- Experienced (over 10 years)
- Responsive
- Quick turn-around time
Cons
- Inconsistent operating hours
- Fees on a high side
Customer Reviews
Blew me away with what they achieved in less than 24 hours
Having a pretty dated Jeep Wrangler, +10 years old, meant it had quite a few scratches and a dull looking exterior and interior. Adel was great at giving me sound and honest advice of what he could do. His team blew me away with what they achieved in less than 24 hours. The car looks better now than when I got it, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! If anyone is thinking about bringing some Shine back to their car then I highly recommend speaking to Adel & his team. Thanks to everyone at Crystal Shine! -Garen
Could not be happier with the result
Having recently purchased and restored a 22 year old Lexus LS400. I took it to Adel at Crystal Shine (after a personal recommendation) and was not disappointed. Adel provided good advice and a personal service, he appreciated that this was a “labour of love” and treated it accordingly. I could not be happier with the result. I wholeheartedly recommend Adel and his team for professional car detailing. -Stan Maslen
2. Elite Shine
1. EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
2. EASE OF SERVICE | ★★★☆☆(3/5) |
3. ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
3.1 Operating Hours | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
3.2 Responsiveness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4.1 Helpfulness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. 2 Turnaround time | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Elite Shine was established in 2013, so they’ve been in the auto detailing business for quite some time. To date, they have successfully finished 40,000 car jobs.
They are located in the heart of Dubai’s auto market in Ras Al Khor, which is around 15 minutes away from downtown Dubai. So it’s easy to reach them.
They also offer a car pickup and drop off service in case you don’t have time to go to their physical store, which is very convenient.
They offer detailing, wrapping, nano ceramic coating, rim protector, denting & painting, minor accident repairs. They are very capable of performing full interior and exterior detailing.
However, they have a smaller range of offered services compared to their competitors. So that is something to consider with this service provider.
What they lack in range of services, they make up for in affordable packages for their auto detailing services.
To give you a rough idea of their pricing, for a standard SUV like a Toyota Fortuner for example, their full auto detailing services will amount to about 399 AED. This is slightly lower than standard pricing.
So if you’re looking for an option that’s budget-friendly but not short on quality, this may be the service provider for you.
When we asked their clients, they told us that they were very impressed with their professionalism, quality of work, helpfulness, customer service, and attention to detail. This confirms our own experiences with the shop.
Finally, they’re also pretty active on social media and they responded really quickly when we chatted with them on Whatsapp to inquire. All in all, they are very reachable.
Pros
- Affordable pricing
- Expertise (over 40,000 successful auto jobs)
- Accessible location
- Responsive
Cons
- Smaller range of services compared to competitors
- Closed on Sundays
Customer Reviews
The workmanship, the promptness and customer service was excellent.
Used the services of Elite Shine for the first time and I was glad that I made this decision of moving from my old Vendor to Elite Shine. Gave my car for a full detailing plus exterior nano protection and they did a beautiful job. The workmanship, the promptness and customer service was excellent. Keep it up. Will definitely use their services often. -Lindsay Benziger
Was amazed with their service and professionalism
I went to Elite Shine for deep interior cleaning and polishing of my car. Was amazed with their service and professionalism. The car was ready the next day, even earlier than expected. All the stains were removed and it looked perfect in and out. Mr Taha was updating me on each stage and answering all my questions promptly. Definitely will use their services again. -Oleksandra Baranova
3. Ditec
1. EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
2. EASE OF SERVICE | ★★★☆☆(3/5) |
3. ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
3.1 Operating Hours | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
3.2 Responsiveness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4.1 Helpfulness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. 2 Turnaround time | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
The Ditec branch in Dubai is actually just one of over 16 branches all over the world. In the UAE alone, they also have branches in Ajman and Sharjah.
This shows us that since they are a well-established brand, usually a good indicator that they have clear systems in place for their services. So, it’s no surprise that it’s easy to coordinate with them regarding auto concerns.
Established in the 1970’s, Ditec has actually earned a stellar reputation among consumers for automotive services, especially in car detailing. Off the bat, some of the words clients we surveyed used are “efficient”, “high-quality”, and “friendly”.
They offer a wide range of services, so they’re a good pick if you need more than just car detailing done. They offer interior and exterior washing, ceramic paint protection, car polishing, leather treatment, dent removal, and paint protection film, among others.
Aside from that, we like that you can even rent a car at Ditec in case you need it. They’re really a one stop shop for all auto needs.
Located in Al Manara, they’re in a prime location near to the commercial hubs of Dubai, making them fairly easy to find and go to. Their customer service is also very reliable, as they reply promptly to concerns and inquiries.
They also deliver services on time, based on our poll of their customers. A lot of them report that the Ditec Dubai team is punctual and professional, so you know there won’t be any unnecessary delays.
As for the cost, they offer mid-range prices. To give you an idea, they offer a car detailing package for an SUV for 525 AED, which is just a bit more expensive than the other places in this list but also cheaper than others.
Pros
- Well established brand (has many branches worldwide)
- Wide range of services
- Delivers services on time
- Prime location
Cons
- Mid-range fees
- Closed on Fridays
Customer Reviews

I finally found a place to maintain my car like new year after year.
After 10 years living in Dubai, I finally found a place to maintain my car like new year after year. They offer many packages of ceramic and wax, depending on your budget. And there are maintenance programs to be followed once the ceramic coatings are applied. It’s the place to go if you love and care for your car.-Victor Carneiro
4. Kenzie’s Car Washing and Detailing
1. EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
2. EASE OF SERVICE | ★★★★☆(4/5) |
3. ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
3.1 Operating Hours | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
3.2 Responsiveness | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
4. PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4.1 Helpfulness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. 2 Turnaround time | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Established in 2013, Kenzie’s Car Washing and Detailing has been doing auto detailing for a long time. They can basically do car wash and detailing for cars, motorcycles, bikes, trucks, and even boats.
The first thing we like about them is that they’re open 7 days of the week unlike their competitors, making them a good choice for emergency situations or when you need a quick fix.
Their pricing is a bit steep compared to competitors, though, as you can see below. They’re the only ones that show their full price list on their website, at least, so you’re sure there are no extra charges outside of this.
Interior Detailing | 650 AED |
Exterior Detailing | 650 AED |
Full Detail | 1000 AED |
Their price includes free pick up and drop off already, by the way, making them a convenient option for those who are too busy to bring their cars to the shop.
What’s cool about their car wash service is that it is actually waterless, making it a more eco-friendly choice. Costing around 200 AED, it includes a full, medical grade disinfecting and sanitizing for COVID-19, which is a good bonus.
They also offer recovery & towing, 24/7 parking and storage, and driver and chauffeur services in case you need them. They are very versatile with their services, in our opinion.
They’re not that active on social media, however, making us think it might be best to just give them a call directly or contact them through Whatsapp for further inquiries.
Pros
- Open 7 days of the week
- Experienced
- Wide range of services including waterless carwashing
- Free pick up and drop off
Cons
- Fee is on the high side compared to competitors
- Not that active on social media
Customer Reviews
There was a significant change when they brought the car back to my doorstep.
What’s interesting is, they also provide pick-up and drop service to save your time. There was a significant change when they brought the car back to my doorstep. The engine, interiors and the exteriors were cleaned within 2.5 hours. I will definitely be opting for other services like seat cleaning soon and would recommend this service. -Blaise Simon
The results were amazing.
I recently bought a 2013 Audi Q7 and immediately sent it for Kenzies Full Detailing (showroom finish) service. The results were amazing. So many people commented that the car looks so new as it has never been used. Also the service was very professional pick up and delivery on time. The best thing I liked is that they provide full details of service and prices on their website. – Nalinn Singh

Majestic Car Care was established in 2013. They have extensive experience in auto detailing, which seems to be what they are most known for.
They offer a range of car detailing packages depending on how much time you can allot for the process. The simplest one, The Majestic Treat, lasts around 10-12 hours and has 15 stages of washing and drying, paint reconditioning, and waxing.
The most intensive one, The Majestic VIP Treatment, lasts around 3-5 days and has over 74 stages, restoring your car into showroom condition. The best thing is that you have a wide range of options for car detailing depending on your needs, schedule, and budget.
They also have a step-by-step and structured process that sets them apart. They even have it listed down on their site.
This shows that they are extremely meticulous and careful in their detailing process, which is a trait many of their previous customers appreciate about them. For our part, we found them efficient as well as friendly and helpful, making for a good customer experience.
Aside from car detailing, they also offer headlight restoration, paint leveling, and paint protection solutions. They don’t have a lot of additional services aside from car detailing, unlike their competitors, so that’s something to consider.
They are active on social media and Whatsapp, so it’s possible to contact them on those platforms aside from via their website.
Just make sure to remember that they have long lunch breaks during the week and that they are closed on Fridays to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Green Shine Auto Detailing opened in December 2012 and they’ve been providing exceptional car detailing services since then—even expanding their shops.
What definitely caught our eye about them is how their company is founded on sustainability. They’re actually the first Green Car Spa in UAE.
We like their objective of curbing wastage of water in the automobile sector. They do this through waterless and organic products and services.
They have a wide range of services, like basic cleaning, polish and wax, paint sealant, interior detailing, headlight restoration, engine detailing, seat stain removal, plastic restoration and bike detailing.
With all these services, we think they’ll get your car looking pristine!
We’re in awe of their skill in detailing and how they can make old cars look like they came from the showroom.
They’re just a bit busy so walk-ins may not always get a slot, so setting an appointment may be better.

- Excellent service
Cons
- Can get busy so walk-ins are not recommended
Customer Reviews
“Took a hire car in, they removed stains from the cream coloured seats, light knocks on the doors and fully cleaned. No issues flagged by the Company when I returned their car.”
“Absolutely loved the service. The car was sparkling after detailing and I had some stains on the seats which were removed without trace. It’s amazing how they do it without any water and only using environmentally friendly organic products. The guys who do it were very friendly and explained every package for me and suggested the one that would suit my requirements. I’ll Definitely go back!”

We like that they are able to employ professionals for the job that are specially trained in all services that they offer to ensure quality and long-lasting results after each one with them.
Furthermore, they also readily offer innovative paint protection solutions so that clients can be assured that after they are finished with their vehicle – they won’t have to worry about paint chips and damage.
It is important to remember that they aren’t open all week and clients may need to call beforehand should they want to be serviced on certain days such as Fridays.

VCW, was brilliant and gave the best advice and was honest in terms of what they would recommend that be done to the car. I have recommended vintage car-works to two of my friends already.”
“Very professional, clean and up to speed to finish the work on timely manner, I have given them my newly (used) car second day I bought it, and they turned it to almost a brand new car. Thanks to the team for the great work.”
How to Pick the Best Car Detailing Service Provider
To make sure that you get the most value for your money and that your car detailing needs are addressed effectively, you have to ensure that you pick the best service provider.
Here are a few things to consider to help you in picking the best one for the job.
Ask friends and family or read reviews online
Referrals are a good litmus test on the service provider’s efficiency, price point, ease of service, and even attitude. Checking this out can save you the headache of faulty service.
Nothing beats hearing straight from friends or family. If it’s a service provider they swear by, you’ll most likely get superb service as well.
Internet reviews are also a good resource to ascertain whether a certain service provider is for you. There are usually testimonials on the service provider’s page, but make sure to also check out Google reviews and their social media to get a good scoop about that service provider.
Check the service provider’s credentials and track record
It is important that you don’t skimp on car detailing and have it done in a less reputable place just to save money.
You have to consider if the service provider is well known for their car detailing services, years of experience, and their track record.
Ask for a quotation
Of course, your budget plays a huge factor in the decision process. After finalizing your options for service providers, make sure to ask for a detailed quotation for the services you want done and then compare and contrast.
Some service providers provide packages and promos, so make sure to look into that to ensure you get the most bang for your buck.
