Miles Camacho, owner of First Take Auto Detailing

I've been a big movie fan all my life. When I was building this business, I wanted a name that brought my interests together. First Take Auto Detailing is a nod to that idea on a film set: getting a scene done right on the first take. That's the standard I hold myself to on every car.

I got into detailing shortly after getting my first car. I realized pretty fast that keeping my car looking great was something I genuinely cared about, not just a chore. That mindset led me down a rabbit hole, learning the full process pro detailers use to get real results on cars in any condition. I fell in love with the craft. It's exciting, it's challenging, and no two cars are exactly the same, so you're always forced to adapt to new challenges. Figuring out how to handle whatever rolls up to the driveway is half the fun.

First Take is my way of bringing that same energy to your car: careful work, quality products, and a finish you're actually excited to drive around in. I keep things straightforward. Clear estimates up front, show up on time, and treat your car like I'd treat my own.

Where I work

I service San Diego and Pasadena and the surrounding areas. Mobile detailing at your location. I come to you.

On site access

For now, you'll need a water spout and an electrical outlet where we work. I'm working on bringing my own water and power setup soon so I can serve more locations.

Built for drivers who care

Whether it's a daily driver or a project car, I get why the details matter.

Upfront & honest

Estimates before we start. Final price confirmed after I see the car in person.

Results you can see

Paint, interior, protection, the works, done right.
