Francis did a great job on my car overall. Location was convenient, turnaround time was only 3-4 hours. I got exactly what I asked for. Taking care of black paint won't be easy but I feel assured that Ceramic Pro will help me out a lot. I love how the dust just falls right off the slick surface of the paint. It looks great. My car looks like a mirror now! Thank you Francis!
My car frequently sits outside, in the sun, under a tree that birds seem to love. Because of this, it gets very dirty, very quickly. Combining this with a travel schedule that means it may sit like this for weeks at a time resulted in a car that was embarrassingly dirty. I was almost ashamed to take it anywhere, but I knew that washing it myself would be pretty futile. I did my research and found Detail Oriented, and Francis was quick to set up a time to drop off my car at his location. I didn't stick around to watch like some people here because watching someone wash a car is only marginally more interesting than watching paint dry, but given Detail Oriented works on Lamborghinis and upscale German vehicles I didn't think it would be a problem. A few hours later, I came back to find the car spotless, shiny, and cleaned top to bottom, inside and out. Francis and I discussed our mutual distaste for shiny leather treatments, so I was happy that the car's interior still had the matte black leather, not the greasy Armor All look. He also showed me how water now beaded up on the paint, which had barely been visible prior. The wheels were also glowing, a huge change from being nearly black with brake dust. No complaints, Francis and his team did a great job and I'll probably utilize him again in the future. He takes credit cards too which is nice.
Francis did an amazing job detailing my best friend's car after I threw up in it lol. It looks and smells as if nothing had happened. He takes his time and is very thorough, I guess you can say he's detail oriented . 10/10 would recommend, he's very nice and provides great service!
Francis ceramic coated my two brand new cars. Both of them came out really slick and shiny and In was happy with his job. He was also really accommodating with my schedule of drop off and pick up. After doing his job, he went through detailed walkthrough of maintenance which was really helpful. The only minor surprise that I got was regarding the warranty. I didn't know going in that the warranty will only be maintained with a $200 annual maintenance. It definitely makes sense but it would have been good to know this detail before signing up for the service.
Detail Oriented is come-to-your-home detailing. This is quite important, as the parking at my community does not have any power or water outlets. I had to go to my friend's house to get the car detailed. My car goes through a lot of abuse and the clear coat was fairly worn at this point. I decided to get a basic ceramic coat package to freshen it up a little. Setting up appointment was easy and I actually got booked for the first date I asked for, so no waiting. Francis certainly knows what he's doing, the final result ended up looking amazing. He even cleaned the rims and applied tire shine for me, despite my protests that it is not worth it (free of charge). The paint coating should last like this for 12-14 months, apparently, which sounds awesome. Included was also a write-up on how to better take care of the paint job. Good price for an honest-to-god work. Will certainly be back!
Very happy with my car detail! I had someone stick something on my brand new Tesla in SF and it melted all over the paint. Francis was very responsive, responding to my inquiry in less than a day, and was able to make an appointment to fix the car at my house the week of. I decided to get the ceramic coating as well to avoid future damage to my car's paint, and wow I'm glad it did. It looks absolutely stunning!! Also the vandalism from SF was completely removed and I can't even tell it was every there. Great work, very friendly and responsive, and I would definitely use their service again.
I'm very selective when it comes to my car and who I go to when I need some detail work. So I'm very happy to say that Francis completely impressed me with his customer service and quality of work. I've taken my cars to many detailers over the years and I can tell that Francis knows his stuff. He even gave me advice on how to properly clean my car and how to better maintain the finish. The car looks amazing now - the pictures speak for themselves! I highly recommend Detail oriented to anyone who values great quality and great customer service. 5/5 awesome experience!
I didn't get services done from them, but Francis, the business owner, is extremely kind and assisted me when I sent a yelp message regarding a tinting issue that I got done from another place. He took his time to respond to me and even gave me recommendations of who to go to fix the issue. He could have just told me they didn't provide the services,but instead he helped me by giving me advice on how to handle the issue. If I ever need to get my car detailed, I would book an appointment with them. Their customer service is fantastic. (-: Thank you for helping me!
It's hard to find detail shops that share the same appreciation for cars and OCD-like care. I also don't just let anyone work on my car. I look for professional perfectionists who have the work to show for it, and D.O. certainly did not disappoint. After Francis and Anthony completed their Mini Detail on my ride, I couldn't even believe it belonged to me; like the cars you'd see being showcased in a magazine. It was stunning. The finest detailing quality for car fanatics, by car fanatics.
Francis has the passion and knowledge to make your car cleaner and better looking than you thought was possible. The convenience factor of having a mobile car wash is an important benefit because waiting at the car wash for 2 hours is a waste of time. I highly recommend Francis for your next car wash or detail!
This was my first experience with Detail Oriented and wow, what a delight! I got a quote from Francis to have my car detailed, and he responded to me within literally 2 minutes. We set up an appointment the next day ( I thought I was going to have to wait, because every detailer I had contacted had a bit of a longer wait time but I was wrong). I described to him how my car looked like when I first bought it and my thrill on seeing my car so shiny and new back then (I have a 2014 MBenz 350 sedan). I told Francis I wanted my car looking like wet, he listened, and he delivered! I dropped my car off and was greeted by Francis and Conor (partner) I decided to watch the whole process and let me tell you these guys mean business! They started with the wheels and seeing the amount of steps they took to clean one wheel was amazing. I'm used to someone just spraying down a wheel with water but these guys really get detail-oriented (pun intended) with each wheel, it was amazing to watch. Throughout the whole process they were both very passionate. During the claybar process they even had me inspect and feel the paint in comparison to the side that had not yet been clayed, it felt like such a transparent and inclusive process, and they constantly walked me down each step. They gave me insight on what they were doing. The detail I had gotten done on my car was a top quality job, and I know they work on cars nicer than mine all the time which was very comforting to me. This was what brought me to them in the first place. Just when my car was about done a brand new AMG pulled in, so hey that's a huge plus. As a bonus, Francis and Conor are so easy and entertaining to talk to, yet they are both perfectionists in their work. Thank you Francis and thank you Conor for your great customer service form start to end. I will most definitely be coming back soon for a maintenance wash!
Francis is amazing !!! He was very professional and knowledgeable about coatings. I got my M3LG 2 weeks ago and I immediately called Francis for help. I needed protection ASAP! I got a ceramic pro gold package. Couldn't be any more happy. Oh, the Interior is white so I needed to get it done ASAP.
Let me start by saying that I am very particular and OCD when it comes to my car. I have never really been impressed with any car wash place and have always had to finish the job myself still afterwards. Then a friend recommended Detail Oriented to me. I brought my car to Francis for a car wash after a trip to Tahoe, and it came back looking like it had been fully detailed inside and out! I am so impressed with Francis' work and how knowledgeable and caring he is when it comes to taking care of my car. I'm never bringing my car anywhere else again, you have a customer for life. Thank you Francis!!

If you're wondering if Detail Oriented is right for the job, just look at these before and after photos. They did an incredible job on the inside of my wife's Jeep. Turning it from grayish back to the perfect black color that it originally was. They did a great job cleaning the outside as well, but the inside was what truly needed some TLC. Prices are very reasonable for the exceptional quality of work. I spoke with Francis to set the appointment up. He worked with us on the date and timing. Easy to communicate with and laid out exactly what he was doing. I'll definitely be calling them back up whenever I need a car detailed. read more

I took my car to get ceramic coated from Francis before. He did a spectacular job! The car came out super shiny and slick! Unfortunately my car got into an accident and the shop had to repaint most of the panels. So I hit up Francis to see if I can claim warranty to redo my ceramic coating. He said he'll redo my ceramic coating since it's under warranty for FREE! No extra cost!! He told me that Ceramic Pro Warranty doesn't cover reinstallation, but he goes above and beyond Ceramic Pro Warranty to cover reinstallation if you get into a car accident. Highly recommend getting your ceramic coat from him! read more

I've been working with Francis for about a year now. He is always on time, friendly and honest. You make an appointment and he comes to where you are. There's no need to go anywhere anymore. I most recently got my Tesla coated with Ceramic Pro and it's amazing! I highly recommend Detail Oriented for anyone in the Bay Area! read more

tl:dr. Very detail oriented, knowledgeable, professional, friendly people. Beyond impressed with the work that Anthony and Francis did. Would recommend to anybody! I'm not one to usually write reviews, but I was so thoroughly impressed by what Anthony and Francis did with my baby that I had to write one. I went camping a couple of weekends ago and had to drive on some dirt paths, which really dirtied up my car inside and out because it had just rained. I like to wash and clean my car myself, but one of my friends recommended Detail Oriented and I saw the job they did with his car. After some thought and seeing the amount of mud and dirt that was on my car, I decided to take a leap of faith and contacted Anthony for a quote. Anthony was super quick in responding and thoroughly explained what their processes were. I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was on this topic, along with the materials they use on their cars. Top notch stuff! And also, the prices were incredibly fair so I decided to set up an appointment later in the week. When I dropped off my car, I met both Anthony and Francis and was warmly welcomed. After talking with them both, you can tell that they take pride in what they do and are all about customer satisfaction. I am very skeptical on who works on my car, but talking to them really made me feel comfortable. After a couple of hours, I came back and my baby looked like brand new. My wheels and exhaust look like they just came out of the factory, no brake dust or dirt anywhere! My interior was so thoroughly cleaned to where even the crevices didn't have any dust or dirt. Usually other places do a half ass job on these places, but you can tell that these guys put in a lot of effort and care in making sure your car is spotless. Truly detail oriented and I could not be happier with the job these 2 have done. Anthony and Francis, you have won over a loyal customer and I will for sure recommend you guys to all my car friends. read more

I wish every company had the level of detail and attentive customer service that Detail Oriented has. Francis is professional and very knowledgeable - you can tell he's passionate about car detail based on the depth of his explanations, and run downs on what treatments works best for your vehicle. A bit of a backstory: During the pandemic, I had my car parked on the street for two entire years without any cleaning or maintenance. The car was covered with bird droppings, amber, and what one could only imagine was dried egg on the paint. It was really of careless of me, my car is a 2019 Mercedes red coupe that looked stellar when I first bought it and soon became a ghost of its former self. Honestly I didn't think my car could easily be restored. When I got there, Francis tried a couple of treatments and was working on what approaches would be best for restoring my vehicle. I was able to tell that Francis was trying to find the right price-conscious service for me. Ultimately Francis was able to restore my car in a way I didn't think was possible. My car now looks like it just stepped outside of the dealership. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

I was looking to get my Honda Prelude's headlights restored for a long time now. Finally got it done today and I'm glad I did. Francis took out 20 years of oxidation on my headlights. I couldn't believe it was the same ones lol. He's very professional and informative about auto detailing and restoration. Also gave me some tips on how to make my paint on my car smoother. Great worker with a positive attitude. His work definitely shows. If you need any auto detailing or restoration, then hit up this guy! Definitely will make sure you're taken care of! Thanks again! read more

I recently contacted Detail Oriented for an engine cleaning for a car I recently purchased. Francis showed up on time and was ready to get to work. The service he provided excited my expectations. He finished the cleaning in a timely manner and I will definitely be hiring him again to work on my other cars/bikes in the near future. read more

First of all, I only use yelp to to leave GOOD reviews. So for me to be posting this means I'm trying to save you from wasting your money and energy here. I wouldn't be surprised if majority of the good reviews here are from people he knows. One 5 star review is from someone who works here. Lol. So disappointed with this business. Just like you, I got in contact with Francis after seeing stellar reviews on yelp. I said I wanted a mini detail ($69) , which includes both interior and exterior cleaning. Straight to the point. Process was seamless, I booked and came in for an appointment. I then got to my appointment, Francis scanned my car and recommended an EXTERIOR DETAIL ($249) due to tree saps and bird poop stains. Now, I am FULLY AWARE how dirty my exterior is, and after his trusting his recommendations, I decided to go for the $249. He quoted me for $240 for an exterior detail + interior cleaning. Thanked him for the discount (which, according to him, included wipe down of surfaces, vacuuming etc) I DID THIS BECAUSE I TRUSTED HIM THAT IT WILL BE WORTH IT. They reached out around 7:30 pm to say it was ready (getting dark at this point). Got to the place, scanned my car, etc. I noticed that the exterior seems decently cleaner, but clean in a way that a gas station car wash would be, etc. It did not seem like a DETAILING QUALITY. Now, I'll give him that because I know for a fact that my car did have a lot of scratches in the first place. I then open my trunk, only to find out it wasn't touched nor vacuumed at all. I thought they probably just forgot the trunk. He apologized and started working on it. I then get in my car to scan the front and back seat. Before I even get into the crevices, I know for a fact that they did not wipe the surfaces at all. I have trash in the same exact area, random stuff that they should've given me back if they really went to clean it, Anthony and Francis then started working on cleaning the surfaces they "missed" which I think they really did not attempt to clean in the first place. I had dust all over my dash, panel, cup holder, and leather seats. Me and my boyfriend had to stay for an extra 45 mins holding the flashlight for both of them to start cleaning what they really hadn't started. Not only were they bullshitting us out of telling us how they cleaned my car, we had to waste our time there as I point out ALL the things that they thought they can get away with. Im unsure if they just thought that I won't be checking on my car in detail just because it's late at night (almost 9:30 pm at this point) The exterior detail is 4/10. Interior is 2/10 considering I had to catch them try to get away with not really cleaning my car. I just wasted $240 for a quality work that could've been done for much cheaper, would've saved me money, energy, and gas driving up to their location. If I knew that this is the kind service i'd be getting, I'd rather spend a lot more elsewhere to actually get my car taken care of as promised. At this point, i'd rather clean my car by myself instead of taking it back to save me the stress. I'm not even striving for them to reach a high expectation, I just wanted honesty and for my car to simply get cleaned after they sell me into paying $240 instead of $69. They did not even give me half of the description of what an exterior detail includes online. There's a difference between "missing" some spots and bs. Appreciate the fact that you cleaned up the spots I mentioned/ caught (as I feel like you should cuz that's what im going in there for in the first place) . But please don't treat your customers like they're blind and clueless. I drive my car every single day, I know how it looks like. Had such high hopes for this place. Happy for those who claim to have had a good experience here, but I want to make my experience known. People from detail oriented, I trusted you guys. If you can claim to say you're happy and satisfied with the service you provided me, then I'll take it if you can tell me that face to face. Otherwise, I owe it to everyone to share this experience- and I'm pretty sure you guys know it too. This experience was straight messed up. read more

Great experience overall and I highly recommend Detail Oriented for all your detailing needs!! Nothing is more convenient than at home service, that's really what sold me. I appreciated the prompt follow up via Yelp Messenger and efficient communication that allowed me to book everything there. I appreciated the flexibility of accommodating my schedule (which can be tough). On time the day of, clearly knew what he was doing at every moment and seemed to have his tools well organized and ordered. He is extremely detailed oriented ;) while cleaning every part of your car. I was impressed, with the little time it took him (seriously could NEVER do that myself). I just did a mini detail - because come on, it's just a RAV4! Cross country (ok so like half of it) road trips warrant a detail for any car. It was reasonably priced, as I got quotes from about half a dozen places; and I'll be honest I started this search wanting to go to a specific place. Thanks Yelp for sending multiple quote requests in my behalf! All I needed to do was make sure power and water were accessible and I am working from home now, so just worked while my car got a makeover! It was a great experience and I didn't even have to put on real pants! Stop shopping and book Detail Oriented - you'll be thankful (so will your car)! read more
