We were getting our 20-year-old car ready for sale and it needed a deep cleaning. Auto Presentation Services did an amazing job. What was most impressive for me is that many years ago we put an anti-slip sticky pad on our dashboard. It was supposed to have high temperature resistance that prevented melting. Nevertheless, it melted and oozed all over the dashboard. Somehow, Auto Presentation magically managed to clean it all up as if it had never been there. read more

I thought my minivan was done due to a strong moldy/mildew smell. None of my home remedy attempts helped. This place fixed it up and it feels like having a new vehicle! They were fast, too. I asked to have no artificial fragrance and they were able to accommodate that as well. read more

My car looks brand new! My car is 2 years old. It had lost it's shine and the interior really needed cleaning. Wow, what a difference. Interior and exterior look brand new. The rims have a brilliant shine and the tires are beautiful. I will be returning next week with my wife's car. read more

After procrastinating for a while, I decided that it's time to detail my car especially having 2 teenagers. I looked at google and saw Auto Presentation Detail in Berkeley and decided to call them. The owner answered the phone and asked me to bring the car so he can see the car for an estimate. I appreciated that since others gave me a quote over the phone without looking at the car. I brought the car to Jerry and he gave me a very fair quote. The car was ready in 3.5 hours and not kidding it looked like new. I couldn't recognize my own car. Great customer service and great job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Jerry and his team helped me first thing in the morning at 9AM. They cleaned persistent sticker residue, and made the car shine and smell amazing with 3.5 hours! Would highly recommend, and would highly recommend to come early as they do fill up their spots rather quick. Thank you! read more

TLDR: He gave me my car back with wet seats and is now vulnerable to develop mold. I drove in with my car in the morning at 11am and he told me that they were understaffed. Initially I didn't think it was an issue since I had assumed they had professionals taking care of my car. First red flag was that his wife was his only working employee that day and was working on multiple cars back to back. They told me they were going to shampoo my car and do the basics of interior cleaning. Sure they did wipe down all the surfaces and 70% of the car is great but they had missed the hard to reach spots (this is probably because he works his wife from 9am to 3pm with car after car while he sits in his office). But the biggest issue I have is that the seats came back to me wet. They told me to pick up the car 30mins before they had closed, leaving no time for me to send the car back if I had any issues with their service. I initially believed that it would be fine and that the seats were only slightly damp but then he told me that the carpets were damp as well and gave me a small towel to sit on. Apparently their regular method of drying the car is to just roll the windows down on a sunny day and let nature do the work LOL. I've had my experience with cars breaking out in mold and the bill came out to $1000+ dollars for the type of detailing required for those instances. On my drive home, my back and thighs were completely drenched. I had called them after I got home and let them know that I was not happy with the state of the car. He began to argue with me claiming that it wasn't a big deal. Sure he wouldn't care since it's not HIS car. I asked how he could make it right and he just told me to bring the car in again tomorrow. He told me he would just blast my heater until the seats were dry, wasting my time and gas. That's not an option for me since I work out of town and I'm only in the bay during the weekends and I don't want this guy to burn more of my money. I asked for a partial refund since he had obviously not finished the job and told him that if he can't come up with a viable solution, I'd write a review about my experience. He started yelling at me over phone so I just hung up and came straight here. DO NOT TRUST THERE PEOPLE WITH YOUR CAR!!! read more

Awesome detailing job on our two cars! Both cars are two years old and really needed a deep cleaning and wax. My wife's coworkers thought she bought a new car. read more

I had some serious paint transfer after scraping a garage door. The car is a red Tesla S, which is difficult to work on. I took the car in for an estimate, but Jerry took a look at it and dove right in, despite having a couple of other cars in the bays being done by his employees. Ten minutes later, it looks like new. Miraculous! Thanks, Jerry! I'll be back for sure whenever I need a full detail. read more

Jerry was absolutely a rockstar! We called because while I parked someone bumped into our bumper and he said head right on over! He buffed the paint out in less than 10 minutes and we were back on our way, the price is right the service is quick and cheerful!! This service comes highly recommended! Also just as a pro tip it's actually located inside of the Buggy Bank parking lot! read more

He was super helpful! Was very knowledgeable at detailing and provided really good tips! Very friendly customer service and I'll definitely be back! read more

He cleaned my car well with a reasonable price. He discounted after he checked my car was relatively clean. Thank you. read more

I had what I thought was a tree sap stain on my hood and had no idea how much it would cost or how hard it would be to get off. I called them up and even though Jerry wasn't working a full day he told me to come by just to get a quote. He took a look, pulled out some hand sanitizer and a rag and had the tree sap off within five minutes, no charge. Thank you Jerry! I'll be back when I need a full detail :) read more

Needed the 2012 BMW 335 cleaned because we were thinking of trading it in. They did such a good job we decided to keep it. Lol So this is a nice little detail place. I called and set up an appointment, came back a few hours later and the car looked new. (I had to pay an extra $25 because there were so many doggy hairs. Yes, the little rascals were allowed in the BMW. I spoil them.) Anyway, this place is great. I highly recommend! read more

I enjoyed it. Thank you Jerry and his people. His price is reasonable at $195 in my case, and my car looks great. Car was done in 3 hours and everybody was pleasant. I would definitely give this place a try. No doubt. read more

I accidentally caused some slight damage to my car's paintwork when restoring my headlights. Jerry said I could come down and he'd take a look, when I did, he fixed it on the spot with a bit of compounding - no charge. Totally fixed it. I really appreciate it. Thanks for that. Would recommend APS just as helpful nice people! read more

Mr. Klondike, my best friend, loves hiking, swimming, mud bathing, and rolling in the dirt. He also has four feet, weighs more than a hundred pounds, is constantly shedding his long, thick fur coat, and likes to ride in the back of the car with his nose sticking out, drooling on the sides. I am a big believer in keeping cars nice, clean and shiny. Pre-Klondike that meant a good wash and vacuum. Now, I need to bring in bigger guns. Yea, you can see where this going. Auto detailing has gone from something other people did to something I do three or four times a year, maybe more often. I've tried just about every shop in the East Bay and Auto Presentation Details wins hands-down. Quality: As good or better then any other detailer I've tried. And considering I don't go anywhere that doesn't have 4.5 or better stars on Yelp, that's saying a lot. Price: Close to half of what the competition charges Vibe: Fantastic. Jerry, Byron and "The General" will take good care of you. APD - Thank You! read more

I called Jerry yesterday and brought my 2003 Mercedes C240 in for a look. He quoted me $200 for a wash, clay bar clean, compound, polish, and wax. I brought it in at 9am the next day and it was done by 12pm. When I called he said it looked "just okay" and that if I needed anything else he'd be happy to help until I was satisfied. I don't know what Jerry was thinking, because I thought the car looked incredible! Better than it's ever looked! I was really pleasantly surprised and happy with how it turned out. Highly highly recommended. read more

I couldn't say enough good things about Jerry & his staff. After having a bit of an accident involving a spaghetti spill on my fabric seats, I needed help getting the residue, smell & stain out. Jerry took care of it right away for me, efficiently and effectively. One of the best experiences I've had in a while, couldn't be more appreciative read more

They did a great job and were very attentive to my specific requests. My car is sparkling!

Jerry and his team were truly amazing. I had never sold a car before and I wasn't sure where to start. He identified a price based on his knowledge of what used cars are selling for right now, and his team completely prepared the car to be sold. He guided me through the whole process in a way that felt both very supportive and very respectful. He filtered spam callers before sending potential buyers my number, and he connected me with serious customers. The process was remarkably easy. The $500 I paid for his team's services was completely recovered, I think, because I was able to sell the car for a higher price than I would have on my own. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

They took my car on short notice because it needed emergency cleaning and worked fast, they also were super responsive before and during the process. On top of it the team was very nice. The car smelled and looked like new after the cleaning. Best place hands down. read more

Got my Honda Civics interior and exterior fully detailed. Jerry did a phenomenal job, had the car looking like the day I bought it. Great service, fast and responsive. read more

This was best my auto detailing ever. This is beyond my expectations this car looks brand new again. Jerry is an honest man he did it on time and no surprise charges. Until now I didn't know the difference between car detailing and car wash. But Jerry made a big difference. This time he did my brother Mercedes and next time I will bring my my car because I wanna see my car brand new again. I really enjoyed work with Jerry and I am so happy to give my business to him. Totally recommended awesome work and reasonable price. Thanks Jerry read more

I highly recommend this place for your next car detail! Jerry communicated very well and works with your individual needs as a customer. After getting my car tinted (from a different company) they left several stains on the upholstery of my brand new car :( Jerry came and saved the my seats! He was very quick and efficient and now my seats look and smell better than when I first got the car! I will recommend Jerry to everyone I know who needs a car detail and will be a returning customer myself! read more

Second time we use their service for our 2014 Honda Accord. Jerry the owner is awesome and friendly. Paid $250 for interior n exterior detail. Thought it's kinda ex. The job was done well though. No complain. Is it value for money? I'm not convinced. read more

Got my 6 year old Audi detailed here recently and they did a great job of making it look shiny and brand new. Super smooth experience with the drop off and pick up, and the staff was friendly and courteous. Will go again for sure. read more

Excellent work, reasonable price, and great customer service. They weren't offering appointments, but when I called at the beginning of the week they said if I showed up on the coming Thursday when they opened that they should be able to fit me in. Showed up at a little after 9am, Jerry remembered me, I dropped off the car and the job was done by around 3pm. Would highly recommend. read more

Small business but they were very responsive and did a wonderful job detailing my car -- and for an incredibly reasonable price! Super convenient location as well. Will definitely be back! read more

I would give them 6 stars if I could. The detailing of my somewhat older second gen Prius (with 360K+ miles) was so good that I decided to keep the car for a while longer since it now looks like new! People can not really tell that my car has this many miles, and some complement me for how nice the car looks inside out. I personally feel refreshed as well anytime I get in my car. The little investment in my car's detail is paying manyfold in good mood, better health, and better looks. Furthermore, Jerry (the owner) is super nice and knowledgeable since he has many years of experience displaying cars for the sellers at the infamous Buggy Bank in Berkeley, so he can guide you on how to sell your used car for a fair price directly to a private party! While you are there, feel free to shop around for your new car at the Buggy Bank (also there) as private party sellers display their cars there, and they get new cars on a daily basis. I have already sent few friends and family there for auto detailing. read more

Jerry did an amazing job with my car, his detailing helped sell at full value of what the car was worth. Highly recommend read more

Excellent service, really friendly people that go above and beyond on there craft. Definitely recommend you guys to come here not too long of wait and as I said before there detailing skills are superb. read more

Great job on my interior cleaning -- vacuuming, mat cleaning, windows, dash and console cleaning all done very well.

APS was the best -- they took me in right away, their cost was significantly less than competitors in the area, and they did an AMAZING job -- all within a couple of hours. I'll definitely be recommending this place to everyone and will be back in the future! Can't recommend enough. read more

I had a minor mishap this morning and spilled a significant amount of homemade spaghetti sauce all over the passenger side of my car. To make matters worse I had to be at work much of the day so it wasn't until afternoon that I began to call around to see if I could get the inside detailed! I'm new to CA and so I didn't know who to call. When I called this business I was told they were closed but to bring the car down anyway and they would take care if me. Jerry took The time to meticulously clean and deodorize the car. It was already starting to sour from the dried sauce. The customer service was fantastic! He did a wonderful job and I will go back to have the rest of the car detailed. So thankful fir someone who would ho out of their way like that! read more

Couldn't recommend this more highly. Jerry got my very dirty highlander in for a detailing in 2 days, it was filthy without a deep clean in two years, and may road trips with a 2yo. Fantastic job and lovely guy and business, will return. read more

Jerry at Auto Presentation Detail, also know as APD, took my horrifically scratched /scuffed car in at 12 noon and guaranteed that he would be able to make it disappear. I returned at 3:30pm to find an unrecognizable vehicle, Jerry is a Magician! The outside super shine, inside cleanliness and smell of a "fresh of the lot car"! I could not believe this was the same car that was strached up due to an accident. It is a true and testament to his skill and abilities as a detailer. The most incredible part was the rate for the service. It was $250 lower than the dealership that would have had to keep my car all day and did not do as beautiful a job as he did. Jerry took it in and got me back on the road so quickly. No more than 5 minutes after picking up my car did I receive high complements on my cars shine from other motorists. I told them that Jerry at Auto Presentation Detail is a "Miracle Worker". I've set up an appointment for my truck and my wifes car. Thank you Jerry for your excellent service and professionalism. You Rock! Continued Success, Geechi Taylor read more

Got my truck detailed here and WOW. It looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Very reasonable prices these guys are awesome!

My car was broken into, this business did a great job getting the glass out of every nook and craney, I will be comming back for future service read more

I was already very happy with Buggy Bank and Auto Presentation when I sold my old car. Then, someone threw up in my current car. They spent over half an hour cleaning up the smelly area - and wouldn't take any payment!!! Just give us a good review on Yelp, they said. Wow! Heck, yes!!!! read more

I rolled up to Auto Presentation Details without an appointment, and Jerry took care of me right away. I needed my two front seats cleaned to remove stains, and they now look brand new! I highly recommend. They treat their customers like family! read more
