If you need a tough investigation done or a difficult process service handled, there's probably no one else on the central coast as effective as Gold Coast Investigations. Joe is very persistent, professional, and has all the tools for success. He went many extra miles to help me out. If you need help finding evasive defendants to serve process, call GCI. They are your best bet to find people. The sheriff's office will not do the extra leg work to ensure process is served. Joe will do that. If there are any negative reviews here, it's probably because they were problem clients who were impossible to work with. GCI is very helpful and easy to work with. I'm very grateful for their help! read more

I highly recommend Joe Stretz. He made me feel comfortable and secure throughout the entire process and was always prompt with updates. What stood out most was the kindness and compassion he showed when delivering information that wasn't easy to hear. His professionalism, discretion, and genuine care made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Thank you, Joe, for everything you did for me. read more

He said all good things about him and now that I used his service I see that he was right. I had a interesting case and he got the job done. I highly recommend and will refer friends/family. Thank you Joe ! read more

I needed a process server to find an illusive defendant and contacted Joe Stetz. As a retired policeman turned private investigator, his years of on the job police training became invaluable in organizing a strategy to get the papers served on the defendant. It isn't as easy when a defendant is avoiding being served, but after a few attempts, Joe got the job done. read more

Awesome job on the identity theft case regarding the Toyota truck theft! Great job! If anyone out there needs a excellent PI, this would be the agency to hire.When I read comments on companies, I always wonder if they know them personally. I can tell you that I have never met or spoke to this agency I know quite a bit about this case and they get 5 stars from me. read more
