Mickey's seems to be family-run and they've been around for a while. I hadn't been in a while but thought they did a good job. I recently took my Tesla Model Y to get an inside and outside cleaning. I'll admit we hadn't cleaned it for a while, have taken the car on road trips including to Los Angeles, Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes. We've taken it in offroad situations too. After they worked, our car is White again. They worked hard at vacuuming and cleaning the inside of the car, including the trunk. Their crew took out and cleaned floor mats and they seemed to wipe down everything as best they could. We also have dogs so there probably was a little bit of dog hair in the back too. The woman who runs the business said they needed to charge extra to shampoo one of the carpets because there was some sort of stain in the back. I thought that was reasonable. Considering that it has been years since we seriously cleaned the car, I think they did a good job and put a lot of attention, I think the price I paid was reasonable. read more

I had a total emergency when my granddaughter spilled milk all over my new car on the way into Oakland. I drove straight to Mike's Auto Detail on 12th St., and they took care of it immediately. They cleaned up the entire mess and detailed the car so perfectly that it looks and feels super fresh again. I absolutely love the results. Quick, professional, and excellent work--highly recommend! read more

Best car wash in town! This family-owned, mom-and-pop shop is an absolute gem. They always go above and beyond with service, and you can tell they truly care about every customer's car. Friendly, hardworking, and trustworthy, I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Support local, you won't regret it! read more

Made an appointment a week out and got a call less than 2 hours before my appointment with them canceling saying they were busy today. What's the point of an appointment at that point? Don't know how the service was and won't ever know. read more

Only people I trust with my car and have had all my cars cleaned since I got my license and first car best in the business

I've had my car detailed after Burning Man twice, now, and they've done a stellar job each time. Best of all, they didn't charge me an arm and a leg, unlike most other car washes that don't seem to know how to deal with playa dust easily. Also, friendly (albeit direct and to-the-point) service. Check them out! Just make sure to make an appointment. read more

Cheap and fast but not the best attention to detail. Had to ask them to clean the roof after they said they were done and they told me I shouldn't park under a tree. Well... yeah that's why I'm getting it cleaned, you know? Cheaper than the spot I go to in alameda, and much faster, but not the best car clean if I've gotten. Total was 45 plus tip which is great! read more

Did a great job with the detailing! Looked like a brand new car. Reasonably priced, and was able to come in late morning, although I do recommend calling to see if they have any more space for the day. read more

They made my 20 year old Tacoma look brand new inside. I was shocked. 10/10 would recommend

Hands down, best carwash in Oakland and the surrounding area! They are by appt, for good reason. Note: the prices you see give you a general price range per service, but they look at your car in-person to give you your final rate for the service(s) requested. I'm never as happy if I go elsewhere. This is my favorite, trusted go-to spot. PS, there's a Lee's Sandwich next door for Vietnamese sandwiches and coffee. read more

Mickey's Auto Detail - General price ranges for their services, final price quoted in-person (dependent on how much cleaning your car will require -- very fair). - Auto Detailing Near Me - Oakland, California

I love supporting my local businesses!! Mickey's attention to detail is unmatched!! I don't take my baby anywhere else!!! If you need a wax they got you! Unsure about wax or clay? They got you covered. The wax lasts up to three months! If you just want a basic car wash, outside only was $25! read more

The car looked beautiful when they finished! We asked for wash and wax. It looked like new. It's expensive but worth it.

Always get my RAV4 done there after any major road trips. They always do great work, reasonably priced, reliable and thorough. Make an appointment with the boss auntie there, she'll give you an estimate when you arrive and the finish time. She makes sure you're satisfied before you drive off. Tips in cash welcomed! While you wait they have indoor and outdoor spots to chill and you can grab bomb Vietnamese sandwiches (fresh baked baguettes) or hot food next door. Love Oakland for the ma and pa spots like this! Keep supporting them! read more

Had an amazing experience with Jay and his team (Raul, Geovani). Prompt communication, competitive quotes and quality of work. Would highly recommend! read more

Friendly, hard working staff. Resonable prices, and they always know what they're doing! Quality and detail that can't be beat! read more

A neighbor of mine recommended Mickey's wholeheartedly, so I was intrigued. I drove by there a couple of times and the place was locked up. Out of business? Or did they take a vacation? I had to prep my car for sale and wanted a pristine exterior, even though I waffled, OK, procrastinated for a year, and did not fix a couple of garage door scrapes. I met the manager/family member? The rest were hard at work, so I set up a time. They said to leave it for a couple of hours and examined the car. I asked if they could "look" at the two wood door scrapes. The manager said she could not promise, but would pay attention to it. On the appointed day, I took the car in and left. About 2.5 hours later, I got a call to pick up the car. I was blown away by how much detail they had spent on this old car! Quite extraordinary. A huge bonus, they had cleaned up the wood pain, gone!. I gave them an extra tip for it and thanked them. Great work, Mickey's! I highly recommend this place for a careful hand wash. The value for this work is way past worth it. I'll take in my new Hydrogen powered electric car there next. But first I have to make it more messy on the inside and have them handle the inside as well :) read more

Mickey's Auto Detail - Can anyone scree the scrapes? I bought this one used, all dings were there before I bought it. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Oakland, California

They did a very great job with cleaning in & outside. Take not too long and feeling fresh when I get back in. After tried many places in Bay Area, this place was very impressive and valuable. Recommend to make an appointment before you go to make sure they have available spot for you. read more

Mickey's is a woman-owned auto detail shop in East Oakland's Little Saigon. Let that sentence sink in. I called Sunday morning and Suu answered the phone herself. She told me if I could get to her shop in 15 minutes, she would fit me in. I compared her price with two other shops who had similar ratings to hers. One shop told me they could not do the exterior even though their Yelp listing said that they could and the other (which I had used before) quoted me a significantly higher price and gave me a range. Really? In comparison, the prices at Mickey's are listed transparently on a board outside. Suu walked me through each detail of what she would do with on each part of my car - vacuum, shampoo, wax, etc. I got a full interior/exterior plus the The stuff you put on the wheels. She told me my car would be done by 5 pm and called me at 4:15 pm to say she was done early. My car looks great! It looks as clean as it did after I took it to the place that quoted me a higher price - but there was no uncertainty about how much it was going to cost me. My car has suffered over the pandemic, and her attention to detail was very, very good. My tires look awesome and the car looks restored to good health. I am referring my friends and family to this place and will be back if I forget again NOT to park my car under a tree with a bunch of angry birds. (That's the second time I've done that this year.) read more

This place is appointment only. Do not show up here without an appointment and you might need to call several times before someone picks up. So the car had been parked under a tree for a month and accumulated a bunch of tree sap. Tried to do a basic outside wash but most of the sap was just not coming off. Had to switch to a clay wash which thankfully got the job done. I actually didn't have enough money for the clay wash. I was hoping the outside wash was all the car needed. I thought I had to leave and come back but the lady owner was very nice and accepted $65 cash since that's all I had on me. It took about an hour until they were done. I really liked how the owners were all involved with the whole cleaning process. They did a great job with the wash and I was very happy they were able to remove all the sap. There is a waiting room inside for you to sit while you wait for your car to be done. Just bring something with you to do to pass time. Personally I wouldn't walk around the block by myself. I don't think it's that great of a neighborhood. read more

Mickey's Auto Detail - Price chart - Auto Detailing Near Me - Oakland, California

This place NEVER has failed me. I'm not sure what the owners name is, but he is incredibly consistent and thorough making sure the customer is completely satisfied with their results. My Tesla Model S has all white interior and I had a not so good experience elsewhere - them managing to leave dirt marks on the seats. I guess that's what I get for diverting elsewhere to begin with. 10 years later, and Mickeys still provides top notch service- and I truly mean top notch. The owner is serious about making sure his customers are fully satisfied - every, single, time. I've tried other places but always come back here - and plan to solely stick with them moving forward. They are THE BEST in the east bay, hands down. read more

Mickey's is the best auto detailer I've been to in the Bay Area. I've been here many times with different cars after muddy trips to Tahoe and buggy trips to Socal. I've gotten interior shampooing, wash and wax and every time, the car comes back like new. They're pretty busy--make sure to call ahead to give them ample time to schedule you in. Our compact hatchback took 2 hours to clean inside and outside. read more

I never write reviews, but I had to for Mickey's. And if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Mickey's is hands down one of the best places to get your car cleaned! I brought my car in because I have a dog that likes to go to the beach and roll around in dirt. My car had dog hair and sand embedded in every part of the car. Before I even made an appointment, I took my car to Mickey's to see if this would be something they would even take on because it was so disgusting. They said they would but warned me that it may be hard to get it 100% clean. I wanted to take a chance so I made an appointment for the next day. When I got my car back, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was practically a new car. I had forgotten what the original color of the interior was because it was so dirty. Mickey's brought it close to its original condition. All that sand and dog hair? Gone! Of course, if you look hard, you can spot a stray hair, but honestly, they totally exceeded my expectations. I think they were even a little proud of what they were able to do for my car. I've included before and after shots so you can see for yourself the difference. It took all day but Mickey's was super thorough and totally worth it, especially for the price! They did an OUTSTANDING job and covered every nook and cranny of my car. They are incredibly hard workers and I'm so impressed. I will definitely be taking my car back here. read more

Every time I bring my car here it always comes out looking brand new! They really take their time and do it right. Downside to this place is if you don't make an appointment just plan on dropping your car off for a few hours and coming back to pick it up. They do take your name and number though so they call you once it's ready. Upside your car is sparkling when you pick it up. There is a small waiting area so you can wait if you want but honestly make an appointment it's preferred anyways. read more

I did a clay bar and wax after coming back from Tahoe. I have a dog that sheds profusely and loves going to dog parks where it is sandy. So my rubber mats were sandy and muddy and my back seats were full of fur. I dropped it off and about 2 hours later it was very shiny like the day i bought it and free of dog fur and sand. read more

One of the best car washes in the Bay Area, family owned and run and offers a quality wash that beats even more costly detailers Highly recommend, hard working and detailed oriented read more

DECEPTIVE PRICING PRACTICES but an honest review It actually pains me to write this review and I was not sure whether to give them 2 or 3 stars (Maybe 4 for cleaning and 1 for customer service and pricing). I will say they do a good job cleaning the car. Thorough and detailed for the most part. A little variation here and there on quality but overall good and I have been coming here for awhile. The reason I am writing the review is because they have now gotten out of control on pricing for cleaning the car. The listed price is $40 and up for an SUV and it is the "and up" part that I now have a problem with. I used to pay between $40-$45 before tip. The last time I came the lady told me it was pretty dirty so it was going to be $55 and now when I pulled in my car she told me it was going to be $75. WHAT????? Almost double the advertised price. I asked her why when just two weeks ago when I was here it was $55. She said that some employees didn't show and so they and she is washing the cars but mostly because my car was very dirty. First, I am compassionate that getting employees to come in is a challenge and I am even willing to help with the higher $55 price but just because she may have to work is not a reason to almost double the price. And as far as the level of dirt - it is the same as it was two weeks ago when I brought it in $55. I think she forgot this is a CAR WASH. not a detail and wax job. I can add a few bucks and get a full detail and wax elsewhere. Anyway, the point is the pricing is now out of control. I tried to tell her that this was not acceptable but she would not budge. She preferred to not have me support the business and pay $55 ($15 above the advertised price) or even $60 which I also offered ($20 above the advertised price). I really felt I was being MORE than fair trying to help but it has reached a new level. I am writing to make people aware that you will not pay what is advertised and it is likely to change each time you go in. Not the best customer service The $55 pushed my buttons but I'll get over it. The $75 ($35 over advertised price) deserves a public disclosure / notification / siren ha. For me it has reached the point of no return. There are others in the area for $30 for suv and if really dirty they told me $30-max $40. I will post a review on other when I find a new location. Stay clean people. read more

Mickey's Auto Detail - Pricing 7/28/2020 - Auto Detailing Near Me - Oakland, California

Mickey is the business owner and it's hard not to like him, his mom and his service. He's one of those guys who does his job quietly with zero fuss. He conducts himself in the most professional and respectful manner towards the customers and his staff which is always a good sign. Once I had spilled bbq on my car seat and Mickey stuck his face on the Seats asap to figure out the exact spot! He takes his job seriously. My partner is an executive coach and often talks about how it's so easy to start a business but few can make it thrive. Mickeys has been around for years and they are also busy but they take appointments. There is an indoor office space to work too. read more

Fast, reliable and price is reasonable ($40 for a sedan - they do hand-wash. Definitely would go back.

I am absolutely shocked at how good and thorough of a carwash you can get here for $15. The car they washed have these kinda annoying, though great looking multi-spoke rims that I'm basically too lazy to really get into on my own and they just crushed it. I park outside so it's not worth it to me to keep my car too clean, but when the dirt is just too much, I'm definitely coming back here. They take appointments and since I walked it, it was kind of a wait. But this part of Oakland has the best Vietnamese food north of Milpitas and you can go get your self something great. read more

Quality service. Very reasonable pricing and get a value of your money. Service is always amazing. My car always looks brand new. Would recommend for sure. read more

Incredibly quick and thorough service at a reasonable price! They did a wonderful job cleaning my car's interior. :^)

I took my car to Mickey's to get the interior shampooed so that some of my dog's hair could come off the seats. They did such a great job, when I got it back it was like my pet had never even been inside the car. They do a great job here with very reasonable prices - I did the interior shampoo and a quick wash on the exterior which came out to $180 or so (before tip). I have used my debit card here before but I am unsure if they take credit cards. They are pretty busy so definitely call ahead to make an appointment. I stopped by the week before to ask about the services and she gave me a quote after looking at my car, then helped me book the appointment for the week after. They have a seating area indoors and outside as well for those who are staying close by to wait, since the services usually take a few hours (apparently there's wifi inside too). The owner is the sweetest woman and her sons help her out here. I love supporting this small business! read more

Called before hand, asked how far I was and they said come in, no wait. Super nice and family owned. They prefer cash, but will take debit. They did an AMAZING job and were super thorough. Even got all the bugs off my grill from a long roadtrip! $65 for my SUV before tip for hand wash/dry + inside detail Took a little over an hour, but there is an indoor waiting room with bathroom and a sandwich shop (Lee's) around the corner. Also outside seating available. read more

Best service . Families run business. I'm able to set up appointments with this business .

Now that we're in Burning Man season I wanted to share my experience taking my VERY dusty post playa car to Mickeys back in 2019. The cost was understandably more than the standard wash price since it requires so much more work, but when I picked up my car later I was shocked! My car was spotless inside and out. I could not believe they were able to get all the playa dust out. Needless to say I was very happy and impressed, and I recommend Mickeys to all my burners and non burners alike. read more

Ok, so, this is the first time I have had my car at Mickey's. I called and made an appointment as suggested and arrived at my appointment time, and since it was my first time there, I didn't know where to enter so I drove around the block since I had seen orange cones in front of the entrance. I assumed it would be on the other side, but nope, because all the cars were facing that exit. Again, I drove around the block and tried to stop at the cones but there were cars behind me, so again, I drove around the block. Finally, I pulled up to the orange cones and while they saw me, no one offered to ask me if I needed help so with half my car sticking out on the street, I tried calling to see if someone can move those. The phone rang and rang and right when I was about to hang up and get out of the car, the lady answered and I said I had an appt but here are cones in the way. She came and removed it. I can tel they were busy so no big deal. So, she asked me what I wanted and since there wasn't a menu of the different services, I said I wanted the interior and exterior detailed including the mats. I didn't know they also did upholstery but I believe that they do, don't know that for a fact. In any event, my car really wasn't that filthy, mostly dust and needed be vacuumed. She looked and said $45 for the services for my Camry. Not bad considering the place I usually went to would have been about $65 but the downside is that you would have to come back 2.5 hrs later. Decided to take my kids to get an early lunch and hung out. When I came back, I was impressed with the level of details with the interior and how clean my wheels were. When I asked if the car was ready, I was told the mats weren't ready so we waited until the guy said it was done. Then, the lady started putting some Honda mats down and I had to tell her that those weren't mine. Lol In any event, it was a pretty good experience but had I known about upholstery service was an option, I totally would have gotten that too considering my dog got my backseat somewhat nasty. I would be back, but I would probably make an appt during a time that I had time to just kill for 2.5 hours. Luckily, it wasn't that busy at work. read more

Mickey's Auto Detail used to be the best car wash for many years. I had no problems and was happy with their services!! Recently, Mickey's Auto Detail's quality and service has gone down hill. I had a incident a month ago. My brand new SUV, driver side rear door has a deep scratch from their car wash. I believe it was done by their step ladders!? I spoke with the head lady, she denied the scratch was done at her car wash. Figured I give them another try.. My SUV was not clean upon pickup. (Friday evening around 5pm and they were extremely busy) The exterior had a few missed areas that wasn't cleaned. I also discovered scratches in the passenger front fender and rear lift gate. Looks like either the drying towels were dropped and collected debris or dirty towels was used. I definitely will not be doing business with Mickey's Auto Detail!! Note: I truly didn't want to write this negative review. If the car wash wasn't clean or something was missed I would understand. We're all human!! But the scratches, I had to give you a one star!! Sorry!! read more

Was told $45 and paid $45 upfront. Told to pick up car in 2 hrs, came back for car in 2 hrs but was then asked for $10 more. The old lady grumbled that she left me a vm but did not proceed to explain why the extra $10. It was the most awkward exchange. Honestly I paid the extra $10 to avoid an argument with her and to get my car back. Car was clean but not spectacular like how other reviewers say. Wish i could say it was a more pleasant experience. read more

I've been coming to Mickeys Car Wash since I've moved to Oakland. They provide great detailed cleaning for the inside/outside of vehicles for $25. $35 and up for trucks. In years past, it was first come, first serve, but now Mickeys is so popular an appointment is preferred. The down side to such detailed cleaning is it takes around one hour for the cleaning. Mickeys does great work. A much better job than I can do and even though the prices have steadily went up with their popularity, it's still a decent deal when you want your car to shine like a diamond. read more

Decided to finally grow up and look beyond the mechanized car wash places, but felt intimidated trying to sort through all the options and figure out how much hand washing I needed. Some of the places are crazy expensive. So glad I followed the reviews and went with Mickey's. It was a great deal, easy making an appointment, and they didn't try to oversell me on bells and whistles I didn't really need. The car looked transformed afterwards. The wash was supposed to take 2 hours, which is no problem if you have a plan in advance (like going to Lakeshore or just bringing a book). It ended up running about 45 min late, and they insisted on knocking a bit off the price as a result. I didn't mind the lateness and tried to pay in full, and they refused to take it. Unusual (and honestly above and beyond) level of integrity. Will definitely come back. read more
