    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.

    Fantastic job, car came out looking brand new on the inside and outside! I thought it couldn't be done -- opened the hood one day to a huge rodent's nest in the engine bay and contamination all over. I reached out to Paul because he's one of the only shops in SF that advertises rodent jobs upfront. As soon as we started talking I knew I was in good hands. Paul is a very experienced expert and knows all the ins and outs of dealing with rodents, mold, and other similar issues. His team also did a fantastic job with the detailing. My back bumper was cracked along with other damages and all the parts are just like brand new now.

    Brought my car back to Paul's for additional detailing and his team did a great job once again. Super fast turnaround, great service and great price.

    "Huge shoutout to Paul! My 4Runner got beat up by some snow chains during a Truckee trip, and Paul saved the day. His quote was honest and reasonable, and he had me back on the road in no time. He's incredibly knowledgeable and gives it to you straight--no fluff, just updates and great work. Don't let the mixed reviews or his high-speed personality fool you; he's a good guy who truly cares about the quality of his work. Highly recommended!" I find his ADHD endearing. Expect to have a solid conversation.

    After detailing
    Antonia S.

    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!

    I came to Paul with a full list: deep detail, paint damage that had been bothering me for months, cosmetic scuffs, and a few minor mechanical odds and ends. I expected 80% done adequately. I got 110% done exceptionally. The paint touch-up work was precise. Color match was spot on, blending was clean, and the repaired areas are genuinely hard to find now. The deep detail was equally thorough. Every crevice around the engine, frame, and bodywork that I'd written off as permanently grimy came back looking factory fresh. The finish had a depth that reminded me of the day I picked it up. The light mechanical work came with clear communication, honest options, and zero pressure. That kind of transparency is rare. Pricing was fair for the quality. If you actually care about your bike, this is where you take it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Honda, bumper scratch buffer to new.

    I'm an Uber driver and my car can get pretty messy after long shifts. Paul's Detailing always comes through--he does a great job every time and charges a fair price. Highly recommend if you need your car looking clean and fresh again.

    Getting the grime under the seats
    Julie D.

    UPDATE: Exploring my car was an adventure. Paul kept in contact with me as the work progressed discussing options. They dried it out and removed the hidden and visible yucky stuff which was what I wanted done. They were timely. When I got my car back I happily drove it around feeling safe breathing the air in it. Some before, during and after pics attached. ORIGINAL: Just started working with Paul on my problem child, a 2007 Honda Element, that was banished unused to the outdoors rain or shine for way too long. And it was a dog walking car, so you can imagine just how bad things are. Paul is working through a multitude of issues and we are jointly finding the best path forward, so I can have the car back in a healthy and presentable state. So many people told me to say goodbye to the car. Nope, not doing that. Working with Paul instead. Updates to follow.

    Just had Paul and team do the interior, exterior and paint repairs on my black Audi. Unbelievable work. Looks brand new, and communication was great. Amazing.

    After (basic wash)
    Jennifer H.

    I don't go in for car washes frequently, and I was well overdue for one! I had a basic wash with vacuum planned, and Paul went above and beyond. He vacuumed the protective rubber mats as well as the carpet beneath it, and in my trunk where it was in dire need of vacuuming. There was a huge layer of dust and grime that disappeared after his work (I wish I had before pictures). Paul also helpfully gave me the heads up that the outer coat on the roof of my car was worn down (which is hard for me to see since I'm short), and was hence a little tougher to clean. I live in an apartment building so it's not very convenient for me to wash and vacuum my car at home, so Paul's Mobile Service is a great solution. He had many cars to do that day and made sure every single one was done. He estimated that he would be able to finish my car within 1-1.5 hours based on the queue, and did successfully finish on time.

    Paul's service was excellent and I couldn't have asked for more. After my baby nephews left a mess in the car, I needed someone to clean it up ASAP. Super Flexible: I needed a last-minute detail and Paul was ready to meet me wherever I needed to be. It was simple and we met within 1 hr of the request. Thorough: I only scoped out a couple places on the surface that needed work but he went into the deep crevices and under side of the trunk to make my car spotless.

    Combing over every inch of the car to make everything gets fixed

    Our cars were invaded by rodents. In our GMC Yukon XL, they chewed up the seatbelts until it was unsafe to drive it. In our Tesla, they had already caused $5k in damages to the suspension, and had set off another alert chewing through some wires. Then... something died in the Tesla, and it smelled like hell. Paul and his team took on both vehicles. Paul and his team found exactly where the rodents were hiding (some were nesting in the car...). They found exactly where one had died, in a difficult-to-reach location in the Tesla that required removing a bunch of paneling. They combed over every inch of the cars for damage and repaired it all. They even patched things up and fixed things in a way that will hopefully prevent the rodents from ever getting in. The cars came back looking and smelling like nothing had happened to them. To do this, they worked weekends, early mornings, etc., to get our cars back to us as fast as possible. Paul was incredibly communicative, sending over dozens of pictures as they did the work, asking questions at the right times, etc. I felt like I got great service on two vehicles that ended up being difficult jobs. I hopefully never have this problem ever again in my life... but if I do, or anything like it, I know where to go.

    Finishing up paint and polish.

    Paul has previously worked on my 1979 Porsche 911 Targa. The car is all original, and it has some water stains, rust, discoloration, etc. The prior owner had a few panels painted that never matched the rest of the car. I would usually go to one of my Porsche specialists, but having worked with Paul on other projects, I knew he had the team to do the body, paint and interior work. We mapped out an extensive repaint of nearly the entire car, plus body work to repair rust damage in the driver and passenger door jambs. Paul was always very good about keeping me in the loop on the project, and sent dozens of pictures each day. Paul has a really good attention to detail, and makes sure the team under him completes the task to his high standards. Once the project was complete, I had a few items that weren't working properly (door locks sticking, etc.). Paul sent his team to my house to knock out the final punch list at no cost to me. When he commits to a job, you can count on him.

Fast forward 4 years later to 2026, I purchased a Lexus Convertible recently and needed my windows tinted. I went on Yelp to start a project and Danny was the first to reach out to me hella quick! It didn't dawn upon me when pulling up to the parking lot and realizing I've been here before with my BMW. I remember Gena as soon as I walked in...I know he sees a lot of people on a daily basis so I know he probably doesn't remember me, but I gave him a refresher just in case about my previous vehicle and of course he's friendly and professional as he always is. I also got to meet Danny in person. Mind you my Lexus was kinda tricky to work on since it's a convertible and Danny was very honest saying it can be complicated and it's either take the risk or forget about it. I knew I had faith in Danny and trusted him as well as the other employee (whose name I didn't get). Gena even went above and beyond going the extra mile offering water as I waited in the seating area which I thought was very generous. I was pleased the way the service turned out. I DEFINITELY recommend Grizzly Style and will come back when it's time to get my future next car tinted. If I can add an extra star to this review I would, because it's the silly slap on the hand like im a 5 year old "DO NOT ROLL DOWN " sticker for me that Danny put onto the window switch as a reminder to prevent damage to the tint post installation. Because you know, common sense But THANK YOU Danny, Gena and the other guy!

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!

If you own a Tesla or any high-end car and care about quality, this is absolutely the place to go. Joe, the owner, is always welcoming and clearly pours his passion into the business. 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.
