Car Detailing Near Me in Palo Alto CA - Top Auto Detailing Services

I think this is the only place in the Bay Area that offers an unlimited wash package for a monthly fee. Which ends up being less than cost of 2 car washes. You can legally bring your car x10 a day if you desire, (though a bit excessive). The crew here is so polite, and hard working. Gabby the GM always puts a smile on my face when I see her.

I spent $50 on the platinum car wash, it took 20 minutes and my car was definitely not completely clean. There was still residue on the paint that could be scratched off relatively easily (bird poop and sap). There was still a bunch of dog fur everywhere and just general dirtiness that I thought would be cleaned. Granted the platinum service is still limited in what they will wipe down and vacuum, but I still expected a more professional job. Would not recommend unless your car is pretty clean already and you have money to spare.

They did an outstanding job! I called on a Saturday and they got me in right away, same day. I got an interior detail with exterior wash. The job only took a few hours and my car came back looking spotless. It even has that new car feel. Cost was $350 and worth it

I recently took my BMW E30 318is convertible to Mountain View Detail, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! They truly brought my car back to life. From the moment I dropped it off, the team’s professionalism and passion for their work were clear. They paid attention to every detail, ensuring my E30 not only looked incredible but was treated with the care and respect a classic deserves. The paint correction, interior treatment, and overall attention to the finer details left my convertible looking better than I ever thought possible. It feels like driving a brand-new car. If you're a car enthusiast, especially with a beloved classic like mine, I highly recommend Mountain View Detail for their exceptional service and dedication. I will definitely be returning for future work!

We had a vomit accident in our car (all over the seats, dashboard, windshield, etc.) After cleaning it up to the best of our ability, we took our car to Perfection Auto Detail for an interior detailing. The costumer service was outstanding. They were so kind and helpful. The car looks brand new- you can't even tell anything happened! We will definitely be going back in the future! Thanks for great service.

Easy to schedule, super fast and friendly service, plus they threw in a car wash!

RUN!!! AS FAR AND FAST AS YOU CAN!! I dropped off my vehicle with Marcos to do a full, bulk, PPF wrap. I told him I had lots of work to schedule so I wanted a no later than date, so I could schedule other work. He said two weeks, I said lets do 3 weeks and we agreed on a date of completion. I called him 6 or 7 times in those 3 weeks to check on the progress. Everytime he said it was going great and it might even be done early. However I said not to worry about being done early as long as it was done on time. I also texted him the day before confirming I would be there the next day at 9am. The morning of pickup, one hour before (8am) he calls me and asks what time im coming in, I said 9am like we agreed. He tries to tell me he has things to take care of so he will be gone, I told him thats not acceptable and I was already driving over and needed the car. He says "NO WORRIES ITS READY FOR YOU." 40 minutes later, when I am about 5 minutes away from the shop, he calls me again and says "so theres been a disaster." Turns out nothing has been done to the car except one panel. When I show up hes hectically trying to wrap it. He puts all the blame on his employee and takes no ownership, he says his employee told him it was done. I press him on why he lied everytime I called to ask how it was going and he said it was good and they might be done early when in reality nothing had been done. Also why he told me an hour earlier that it "was ready" when it wasnt. He said he "didnt know how to tell me" and that he was going to try and do it all in a day (which is why he tried to pretended he was going to be busy and wouldnt be there to give me the car till the evening.) He then spends the next 6 days tried to wrap my car, it was obvious he could putt PPF on a cardboard box. He would constantly put panels on only for me to ask why there are entire sections missing, cut too short, torn or only half a door was covered. On the passenger door only half the door was covered, when I asked about it he said "Thats how its supposed to be." Obviously I told him thats not true he needed to fix it. He confessed he ran out of PPF film and he was searching the shop floor for pieces he could use, thats why only half the door was covered. He CUT ON THE CAR WITH RAZOR BLADES, and there are plenty of scratches on the car. He doesnt know how to put an emblem on to save his life, or what a straight line is. When it was all said and done he said he would refund me and provided me with a refund check. WHICH THEN BOUNCED (not a surprise at all.) When I reached out to him to ask for a cashiers check he blocked my number (again, not a surprise.) I took the car to Magic Auto Shine in San Jose and they were appalled at how bad it was. The entire car had to be redone. When they took off the PPF film they found cut marks all over the car from where he cut on the car. Their PPF installation was flawless and I will be taken all my car there in the future. I also saw Marcos talk on the phone with another customer whos car was there, the customer said "hey Im going to come pickup my car, Im just an hour away and want to make sure its actually done before i come." Marcos told him yeah its done and looks great and to come over. The car was NOT done and he told his employee to go start working on it and theyd be here in a hour. When the customer showed up the car was far from finished and they left without their car and Marcos offered them more excuses If you want to spend $10k to have Marcos destroy your car for a month, never install PPF, hear him talk about how his ex wife divorced him and then have him run away with your money...then yeah this is the shop for you.

From a customer of Final Touch since 2018: do NOT bring your car here, and only look at recent reviews (after April 2024) I've been a loyal customer of Marcos for over 5 years, and I wanted to continue supporting his business, but the recent work is so subpar that I would never bring a car here again. It's not that he's inexperienced - he knows what a good wrap looks like but is letting cars leave his shop in this state. Here's what happened on my most recent visit: - He said he needed 4 days, I ended up leaving my car there for 2 weeks because he needed more time and came back to pick it up. Communication was poor throughout this period, he kept saying he needed more time and was not upfront about whether the car was even being worked on. - The car was dirty inside and out, the edges of the PPF were peeling off, and he had lost my key card. He also told me that painters who were working on his new shop had gotten paint spray on my car and he needed to take wrap off part of the car to redo that too. He told me to bring it back so he could fix everything. - I brought it back for 1 day so he could fix his previous work. When I came at our agreed upon pick up time he was still working on the car. When he removed the previous wrap that he did poorly, he took paint off the car. He then wrapped it again over the paint chips. He also found my key - turns out it had been in his pocket and went through the washing machine - I got home and started noticing all kinds of quality issues - in addition to wrapping over the paint chips, the edges peeling off in many places - I took it to another shop for a second opinion. Not only did they find terrible quality wrap work, they found that he **had not even wrapped most of the panels**. I had already paid him the full price we agreed upon for all of the panels and he didn't do most of the work. - I texted Marcos asking for a refund and it appears that he blocked me near instantly without even a response I have no recourse for a refund because Marcos insisted on being paid through Venmo/Zelle rather than a credit card. Don't be fooled by the high end cars you'll see around his shop - this business is based on prior relationships that he built, when he was still doing high quality work. The shop I took it to afterwards told me they had another customer come from Final Touch recently with even worse quality work than mine. I wanted to support Marcos as he was going through a difficult time in his personal life and moving locations, but in the end I paid thousands of dollars for poor quality work that left my car in a worse state than it was when it went in.

Scratched the top of my car pretty badly. My car is old so I can’t really complain, but if you have a nice car, do not bring it here!!!

by Ama Zenya

Trash car wash. I have a compact sedan and it couldn’t even get the gunk off of my trunk. I’d understand if I got the cheapest wash but I got the deluxe. For the premium they’re charging it should wash better

by Alejandro Castro

It’s a hit or miss. Sometimes they do a good job and sometimes no. I’ve noticed it depends on the day you go and who is working. :/ The pictures are how I receive my car when it’s “done”. I have a membership so I frequent often. Might look into finding a new place or cleaning it myself. Many times i’ve told them if they can wipe it down a little better after they said the car is done, and they look annoyed when I say this. I don’t think i should have to tell them where to clean and want to avoid getting them annoyed since I go often so now I don’t speak up anymore. I’ll just wipe it down better when I’m home. Update: Cancelled my membership.

This is the worst ever car wash place! First of all, the car didn’t come out clean. I had my husband’s car washed and the wheels were looking terrible besides the obvious spots on the main body. I bought a VIP card with 5 washes, so decided to put up with them until I used them up. I was there ~a month ago and I used lane #1. An attendant told me I could only be in that lane if I pay another $99 for a wax or hand wash (I don’t remember the exact detail). I moved to lane #2. I remembered that experience and used lane #2 this time. Somehow an attendant came over and told me I cut the line! I explained my experience last time and why I used the lane. He said their policy changed and I had to move back. Didn’t make sense to me and I requested to speak to his manager. He was very rude and told me his manager wasn’t there. If I didn’t move, he’d call the police. I told him to go ahead. Then his manager showed up and backed him up. I had enough and said fine. Just refund me my prepayment and I’m done with you guys. They said they refunded me even though my Apple Pay said they charged me again. They insisted and asked me to come back again if they did charge me again. Well, I often feel it is not the best use of time to write reviews while they are so many reviews out there already. For this experience, I think it is good to let people know they did charge me again. Am I gonna go back to their office? Of course not, how much time does one have to waste on this… I just disputed the charges. I decided to used the time to tell people to stay away from this place. I would recommend Redwood City Car Wash instead. They do a reasonably good job and the system is a little more intelligent.

Fast service and friendly people! We were surprised how the $22 service was able to get rid of all the bugs that accumulated on our bumper from a month-long road trip. (The service was not optimized for the rooftop cargo box, although they did let us go through the automatic washer with it.)

by Fong

Francisco and the crew down here were very attentive... good listeners. I had taken my Jeep off road up in the Buttes and had gone through a bunch of brush and tree limbs in an off-road excursion and scratched both sides of the Jeep. These guys did a great job at getting most of the scratches out.

by Buddy Shoe

Thank you for helping me feel proud of my car again!! Miguel not only came to my apartment but was 30 minutes earlier than expected, and overall very flexible with scheduling. He was efficient and affordable, even for a grad student. He was able to get out some seat stains from the former owner of the car in addition to the stains made by my failed attempts to get the originals out. Within an hour he had not only gotten the seat stains out but had finished detailing the interior and washing the exterior. Highly recommend.

by Anna Burns

Miguel was polite, considerate and went above & beyond! He charged a super reasonable rate, especially considering how thorough and attentive he was. A+

Dennis and his team are amazing, got my 1989 Ford F150 up and running well. I have been to many other subpar mechanics that couldn't figure out or diagnose the issues. Thanks again Dennis!

by Nicolas Lobos

This is only my 2nd time writing a review & the 1st time was 8months ago for a restaurant. Anyways Dennis is the owner of this shop and I highly recommend him. He’s an honest mechanic and he doesn’t rip you off. He figures out the problem & lets you know right away what the problem is. He’s not like other mechanics they just want your money and they always find something wrong with your car. Dennis is a honest hardworking mechanic. I moved from Maui & I got recommended to him by a great friend of mines & I'm glad I listened. If ever something is wrong with my car Dennis is the person I call right away. Thank you for your honesty, and not ripping people off.

Had my car detailed at Black Sheep Auto Detailing and they did a great job. Very detailed and professional. Appreciate you Cane! Great service, highly recommended!

by Mike L

Had my mustang detailed here a month ago with the 2-year ceramic package. They were able to take out all the swirls on the black paint, the car still looks brand new to this day. I spoke to the owner directly and he had great customer service, he was also able to take my car in the same day. They did an amazing job and went above and beyond. I recommend this place.

by Erik Hernandez

I've used this place for years and have always thought it was great value. Recently I had an experience which prompted this review. I paid for a wash but the machine never started. I contacted the owner who was super-responsive. He sent me a code for a free wash to compensate me and told me of the steps he was taking to get the machine fixed. It's great to see a small business that wants to take care of its customers

by Peter O'Riordan

I paid twice ($30 total) to get the car wash to work, but the machine never got activated. I called the number listed on Google for customer service but no one picked up. I hope this gets resolved soon and I get the $30 refunded to me.

by Justin Lin

I went in for exterior wash and Ceramic coating, when I went In to pick up the truck I was left speechless. My truck looked like if it just came off the assembly line. Jose explained to me how to take care of the truck and what products to buy. Ontop of that they when to the extreme and did an interior detail. That was much appreciated. If you want great service I recommend JB mobile detailing in san carlos. Will bring my other cars in for service.

by Jesus Ibarra

5-stars for the results (Premier detail for $389). Rafael and his coworker arrived early, were friendly, found a solution at my crowded business parking lot to service my vehicle and did an amazing job. 1-star for the mobile service surcharge of $15. The name of the business is JB “Mobile” Detailing. Adding a surcharge to utilize a service used in the name of a business is like a Korean Hot Pot restaurant charging $15 to bring the meal over hot. This is price gouging (receipt attached). 1-star for the mobile detailing van that arrived with no business identification, markings or signage and is in need of some detailing itself. Surcharging customers $15 for the mobile service, JB should invest in professional looking vans and provide their workers with uniforms that identify them as employees.

by John F.

Wow! It's a luxury carwash compared to others in the bay area. $5 gets you 6min! That's more than enough if your car is ceramic coated. Love that they use quality products like turtle wax. And they offer a air drying option that works great! Definitely recommend 10/10 .

by Juan Sanchez-iboa

Excellent. $5 car wash and $2 dry vacuum. Perfect value.

by Glen Seat

Mike is super nice a professional technician, 35 years fixing bimmer in Palo Alto.

by will wang

Ah the joys of owning an older Bimmer! I had an issue with the drain plug on the oil pan and faced having to fork over $$$$ for the replacement of the whole thing. The guys at Palo Alto Bimmer worked their magic, crisis averted! Thank you! Going forward, I will be having my 435i serviced here exclusively!
