⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve used Ride N’ Shine multiple times now—for both window tinting and full vehicle detailing—and they’ve consistently knocked it out of the park. Most recently, they re-tinted the front windows on my car, and the results are flawless. Not only is their work top-tier, but the entire team is extremely friendly and professional.

A few of my friends have also had their vehicles detailed here after my recommendation, and every single one had a great experience. If you’re looking for quality window tinting or auto detailing from a business that truly cares, Ride N’ Shine is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Ride N’ Shine is the best place to get your car detailed in the Arvada area. Their attention to detail, communication, and prices are second to none. I took my 2018 Subaru Forester in for its first detail ever (after my kids spent years getting their food, drinks, and sports gunk all over it) and it looks like new. If you’re looking to get your car deep cleaned, especially the mom cars, this is the place to go!

Eric at Ride N’ Shine Automotive did an outstanding job detailing my 4Runner. The attention to detail was top-notch, and my vehicle looked better than the day I bought it. Eric clearly takes pride in his work and treats every vehicle as if it were his own. I was especially impressed with how clean and refreshed the interior felt, and the exterior had a deep, showroom-quality shine.

Beyond detailing, Ride N’ Shine also offers a full lineup of truck accessories, window tinting, ceramic coatings, and paint protection film. It’s a one-stop shop for anyone looking to protect and upgrade their vehicle. I highly recommend Ride N’ Shine to anyone in the area who wants quality work and professional service.

Absolutely outstanding service! From the moment I arrived, Eric and his staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The facility itself was spotless and well maintained, which gave me confidence that I walked into the right place.

They did an amazing job in detailing my vehicle. Every nook and cranky was meticulously cleaned and the attention to detail was behind impressive.

If you are looking for a top-notch detailing center, with a professional and friendly staff look no further. Highly recommend them and will be bring my other vehicles to have them detailed! Great job!

I recently had a great experience with Eric at Ride N’ Shine Automotive. I was searching for a specific bed rack system (KB Voodoo) for my Ram 1500. While Eric wasn’t familiar with the brand I had in mind, he immediately contacted the company to get more information. Unfortunately, they only sell directly to consumers. Still, I was impressed by how quickly Eric tracked down the answers I needed and communicated them to me (within the hour).

Even though he couldn’t place the order for me this time, I’ll definitely be back to have him install additional accessories to my rig. I highly recommend Eric for any of your truck accessory needs as he carries everything from tonneau covers and towing accessories to lift kits, tires, wheels—you name it!

Eric and his team worked magic on my car, flawlessly polishing out a few scratches—and I couldn’t be happier! Their attention to detail, top-notch products, and wide range of services set them apart. If you’re in the North/West side of Arvada or anywhere in the Denver metro area, this is the go-to detail shop. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Eric and his team did a fantastic job! He asked ahead of time what was most important so he could focus on that, and he got rid of hard water spots that another detailer couldn’t! Very impressed and he’s definitely earned my return business as well as referrals!

Ride N’ Shine Automotive is hands down the best detail shop I’ve ever been to! My car looks absolutely spotless inside and out. The team paid incredible attention to every detail, making my car look brand new again. Their professionalism, quality products, and top-notch customer service make them stand out from the rest. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your vehicle and delivers outstanding results, Ride N’ Shine is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Ive brought two of my cars to Eric now, and both times have been great. My 2011 Ford F150 was smoked in by the previous owner, and Eric was able to get most if not all of the smell out.
I also recently bought a 2018 Subaru Outback and was able to get it detailed with a fast turnaround time.
Even gave me a ride home(I live pretty close to the shop) and we talked about business as I work in roofing and Eric used to work in insurance!
Highly recommend Eric at Ride N Shine to anyone looking for a great service.

Eric has done an incredible job on multiple of our vehicles and has always done an exceptional job. I am currently ordering truck accessories for my Silverado. He helped me select the best options for what I was looking for, some products that I wasn’t even aware were available. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend his shop for all your truck accessories!

My husband and I decided to have our two older cars detailed instead of buying a new car. We were so pleased to find this locally owned business in Arvada where Eric, the friendly and knowledgeable owner told us our options and pricing. He and his crew did an excellent job of making our cars feel like new. We very highly recommend Ride ‘n’ Shine!

I took my wife’s soccer mom car in to get all the kid gunk out, a difficult job. It came back fantastic. My wife wouldn’t stop thanking me 🙂 !!

I took my new car in for a 3M protective film. The front bumper was challenging because it required multiple pieces. Eric did a fantastic job. He offered to follow up to ensure all the edges were clean after waiting a week. His prices were very competitive and his workmanship was great!

Best detailing service in the area! Since I found Ride N’ Shine a few years ago, I’ve hired Eric and his crew to take care of my family’s cars exclusively. The results have been consistently outstanding! With his new shop, Eric’s now offering a few sweet extras. Recently, I got the seven-year ceramic coating, window tinting, and an upgrade for my stock brakes. My 2019 Subaru WRX looks better than ever!

Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle here! They made my 2012 look new again inside and out! Eric knows his stuff and you’ll be in good hands. Great facility and great attention to detail! 5 stars all the way.
