Paul and his team did a fantastic job with my car. I brought my car to Paul since he specializes in mold removal. The mold was worse than I thought and was all over the interior in places I couldnt see. Paul did a great job sending me updates with pictures of every step. He also made handling my insurance claim a breeze. Paul also detailed the interior/exterior as well. My car is now mold free and looks great! Thanks guys!

The pictures speak for themselves. After updating my review I get a private message from Paul on Yelp reading as follows: You're straight up lame. Can't make this up folks.

I can't recommend Paul's Mobile Detailing enough. After a mommy-daughter camping trip, we got completely rained out and I ended up putting several soaking wet comforters in the trunk of my car. Even though I removed them and cleaned things up when we got home, I started noticing a mildew/mold smell that wouldn't go away. I had never dealt with anything like that before and wasn't sure what to do. I found Paul online and called him, and even before I became a customer, he was kind enough to offer a complimentary assessment. I drove over, and within minutes he was able to inspect the vehicle, explain what was going on, and walk me through my options. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. His shop was spotless, organized, and reflected the level of care he puts into his work. When I picked up my car, I was blown away. Paul and his team did a phenomenal job!!! Not only is the mildew smell completely gone, but my car literally looks and smells brand new. The attention to detail was exceptional, and it's clear that Paul takes tremendous pride in his work. As someone who appreciates perfectionism, I could tell he genuinely cares about getting every detail right. He exceeded my expectations in every way. My family and I will absolutely be returning for future detailing needs, and I highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone looking for honest, professional, top-quality service. 10/10 experience. Thank you, Paul and team!

Paul is the real deal. I needed some headlight restoration work to see better while driving at night. He got my car back in shape super quick. He's professional, kind and efficient. His staff are all super helpful as well. While working on the headlight restoration, they noticed my car battery was not properly secured and helped me get that back into position as well. As they worked they educated me on small but meaningful ways to maintain my car. They were so clear and informative! My car feels way safer to drive now - I'd recommend Paul's services to anyone!

Mold spores that have grown, this is before they were effectively eliminated!

I initially brought my car in for an ant infestation that got out of control! Once Paul started working on my car he found mold too and was able to effectively kill that! Paul can do everything! He can detail, do bodywork and remove any infection on your car! He is also honest about his rate too, you just have to ask ask! Thanks to Paul and his cousin John my car is now ant and mold free! My car looks brand new and drives even better. Thank you guys!

Paul & his team are wonderful to work with. The team works thoroughly and efficiently. I had the basic interior and outside detail plus an extra focus on water stain ring removal on the rear seat. The team did an exceptional job cleaning my car. All the vehicular cleaning needs and requests were professionally met. My car looks beautiful, the cost for detailing with Paul's is well worth the money spent on their services. I will definitely return to Paul's and will recommend their services to my friends and associates.

Five stars isn't enough. Paul at Paul's Detailing took my car, which had been through a milkshake disaster, years of husky fur buildup (can only do so much with my portable vacuum at home), and some mystery interior damage, and handed it back to me smelling and looking brand spanking new. Literally his words, and he delivered on them completely. What set him apart was the depth he went to. He could've just wiped things down and called it a day, but instead he pulled the front seat out to find and clean milk residue that had seeped underneath the rubber mat. He used a leather soft-fill compound to repair a burn hole in the seat headrest and repainted it to match. He restored my foggy headlights until they looked factory fresh. He revived the faded exterior plastic trim. And through all of it, he kept me updated constantly, explaining exactly what he found, what he recommended, and why, with zero pressure. I really appreciate how communicative he is with his clients, it's one of my favorite things to look out for when trying out a business for the first time, and he delivered. His pricing is fair and transparent. That kind of integrity is rare. If your car needs love, take it to Paul. You won't regret it. I showed up to drop off my car extremely stressed out. It was one of those moments where I realized, yeah I haven't shown this car some love in yearsss, and I am happy I trusted Paul to bring it back to life!

Amazing customer service, honest insight to ensure we knew what we were dealing with and how to resolve. We took my car in after my dog had vomited in the cargo area on a road trip. The smell was lingering despite us cleaning the carpet with our Bissell. Paul was honest, and did a thorough assessment before giving us a breakdown. He proactively removed the plastic components (with our permission) to check if any had fallen through the cracks. Sure enough, it had. He did a deep cleaning, removed all vomit, cleaned and sanitized. My car looked immaculate and smelled sooooo much better. Highly recommend Paul's Mobile Detailing. What you get is ten fold the cost!

Most of the jobs were for full PPF + ceramic coating of new vehicles, but they've also performed a couple of non-PPF paint correction, detailing, and ceramic coating work on well-used vehicles not eligible for PPF. In all cases, California Detailing produced fantastic results that made the new cars look better than they were at dealer delivery and the well-used vehicles look as close to new as possible. For vehicles that we've subsequently sold, California Detailing's attentive work helped protect their resale value. Even when we don't have big jobs pending, we drop by their shop a few times a year for installation inspections and touch-ups (no charge during PPF or ceramic coating warranty period). In addition to being skilled professionals, California Detailing also have great customer service that easily makes my family and me feel at home during our visits. Excellent and lasting results, great people, convenient location, and timely scheduling. We'll see them again soon!

I had never had my car detailed before because it never seemed like a necessity, but was prepping for family to visit and it hit me that the car looked pretty beat up inside and out. Not gonna lie - it felt expensive - but they did an amazing job. They were up front and explained exactly what they were going to do. They did need to see the car before confirming a final quote. They did the full internal and external job and went through every nook and cranny until it shined. I dropped the car off at 9am and picked up a little after 5pm. While I was tempted by the convenience of mobile detailers, i ultimately chose the fixed location and don't regret it.

Kevin Ramos was my tech and he came right to my house, which already made me feel a little more like myself. No waiting in line, no awkward car wash tunnel, no judgment from other vehicles. Just me, in my own garage, getting the full spa treatment. And let me tell you, I needed it. My outside was crazy dirty. I looked like I had survived a dust storm, a road trip, a pollen attack and possibly a small archaeological dig. My inside wasn't much better. Dust had settled in places dust had no business settling and I was starting to feel less "Diva Mobile" and more "washed-up diva waiting for her comeback tour." Then Kevin got to work. By the time he was done, I was shining like I was headed to a red carpet event instead of the grocery store. He was professional, thorough, friendly and clearly takes pride in his work. Every inch of me got attention and left me feeling refreshed, polished and ready to make other cars at stoplights feel insecure. If your car needs some love, ask for Kevin Ramos.

First off, this review is over 10 years late. Over the past decade plus, I've brought 8 of our…read morecars (Toyota, BMW, Honda (3), VW, Subaru, Acura) for window tinting at Grizzly. The workmanship is top-shelf as Danny knows his stuff and is an artisan of his craft, which requires lots of attention to detail. Between Danny and Gena, they run a beautiful shop in SSF with competitive prices on Llumar tint. I recently had to get some warranty work done on my ID.4 as the back window started "rippling" and distorting after only a couple of years, making rearview mirror images harder to see. Gena was able to get the work approved under warranty (it was an adhesive defect), made an appointment and brought the car in and the work was done in about an hour -- I can see clearly out the back window again. I will continue to go to Grizzly Tint with all my future vehicle acquisitions in the future....the best window tinting service in the Bay!

Use this shop at your own risk. Read all of the other one-star reviews for this place on Google…read more Similar experiences. Had LLumar ceramic film installed on all of my brand-new car's windows in June. I let the film cure for a couple of weeks. Time passes, and on my back left window, I noticed a tiny bubble around what appeared to be lint trapped between the glass and the film. Thinking this would be covered under warranty as an installation flaw, I brought it back to Grizzly. The installer removed the film and located the "defect." It wasn't lint, but rather a deep scratch. The installer then claimed the scratch was already there when I brought the car in, said he "forgot" to tell me about it after the initial install, and claimed it must have come like that from the factory. He told me to take the car back to the dealership to get the glass replaced under warranty--and added that if I didn't get it replaced, / would have to pay them labor costs to reinstall the tint on that window. I brought the car back to the dealership. The master technician inspected it and confirmed the deep scratch was caused by a third party using a razor blade. The installer scratched my brand-new window during prep, didn't own up to his mistake, purposefully hid it from me, and then tried to charge me extra labor when I brought it to his attention. Unbelievable dishonesty. I will never step foot in this shop again.

I wasn't just looking for a basic clean: I wanted a deep, intentional transformation of my car. Inside and out. Its been YEARS. I had contacted a few different places, but Lim immediately stood out. The way he communicated, his responsiveness (thougutful, caring, considerate), was really meaningful. Even though his portfolio mostly features higher-end luxury vehicles, he didn't make me feel out of place. If anything, he understood what I was trying to do and genuinely wanted to meet me there! The booking process was easy. He walked me through what to expect, and we started sharing photos back and forth. He even pointed out things like chipped paint and small areas of rust that he could help improve--things I hadn't fully considered. And I didn't know could be accomplished (thought I had to go to other shops, etc). Before I even met him in person, I already felt a sense of trust. When I dropped off my car, he did a full walkthrough and pointed out details I didn't initially notice. His quote felt fair, and more importantly, it felt honest. Throughout the process, he kept me updated with progress photos, which I honestly loved! I felt like I was part of the process: getting little previews of something I was really excited about. By the time pickup day came around, I already knew it was going to be special. But seeing it in person was something else. He walked me through everything they did--inside and out. Some areas needed extra care, and he clearly put in that effort. The inside reminded me like when I first got my car. The ceramic coating added that final layer of protection. And he even took the time to recommend other places if I wanted to continue restoring certain parts of the car. All of his recommendations have been stellar, kind, and Im proud to say I was recommended by Lim. What really stood out to me is that he treated my car with the same level of respect and attention as the high-end vehicles he usually works on. He even mentioned that it reminded him of when he first started--when someone is truly invested in transformation. And that's exactly what this experience felt like! Driving my car afterward didn't just feel like driving a clean car--it felt like a reset. It felt empowering. Like stepping into something new. That's exactly what I needed. Lim is not only incredibly skilled at what he does, he's also just a genuinely good human being. You can tell this is someone who cares deeply about his craft and about people. I honestly wish I could give more than five stars. His work speaks for itself! Attaching photos of how shiny, like mirror/glass, the ceramic coating and shine my car has! Thank you Lim/Detailed by Precision!

You can tell immediately how much he values his team. He treats his staff like family, and it shows in their work. Everyone there genuinely enjoys what they do, and they really do live up to the "OCD" name when it comes to attention to detail. I learned the hard way that not all highly rated Yelp shops deliver real quality. After going to another popular place, a friend pointed out several issues in the work that I had completely missed. Never again! I would much rather pay for top-tier service and have peace of mind than worry about fixing problems later. Most recently, I had a front PPF and tint done on my Tesla, and the results were flawless. OCD Detailing is one of the few places capable of tinting the entire Tesla roof using a single piece, with no seams, and it looks incredible. They were also kind enough to help install hub caps I purchased separately and recommended a great source for blacked-out emblems. My car turned out beautiful. The only downside is that I live in San Francisco, so the drive is a bit out of the way, but it was absolutely worth it. I recommend OCD Detailing to all my friends whenever they're looking for high-quality PPF or tinting. If you care about your car, this is where you take it.

We had ADS install a PPF wrap and ceramic coat on our brand newly built Porsche last year. Unfortunately, the workmanship has not held up. Multiple areas of the film are being lifted, separating and peeling. Edges were poorly trimmed, sections underneath are coming apart and there are exposed areas where the wrap was not properly applied. These issues weren't something we were nitpicking because they were actually pointed out. ADS did attempt to address some areas on the second visit, but when you are paying thousands for a professional PPF installation, the expectation is that it is done correctly the FIRST time. Having to return to fix basic installation problems should not be the standard. For a premium vehicle, this level of workmanship is unacceptable. When the latest issues were brought up ADS refused to stand by their work. So with other reputable shops available, I urge those looking to skip this one especially if you have a luxury or high end sports car. We ultimately found another shop that corrected the issues properly and stands behind their work.
