I had a great experience with Ride on Drive. It was my first time getting my car detailed (interior only) and they were very responsive when I was shopping around for a quote. Wally serviced my Prius and did a fantastic job! He took his time and the end results are great. My main concerns were getting rid of the dog hair and doggy odor and he delivered. I'd be happy to recommend him and Ride on Drive for ease, quality and excellent communication.

Tldr: Wally is the best! His work is amazing! This is the first time I had my car detailed. I was always cheap about car washing and a little dirt in the floor never bothered me. But since moving to downtown SF, I could not find a convenient drive through car wash like Lozano's in the South Bay and Peninsula. So my call to Ride On Drive was initially reluctant. But I completely changed my mind! The technician who worked in my car was Wally. He drove a well cared for Acura that had been modified for racing and told me he would take his car to a car show the next day. I could tell this was someone who really liked cars. I was amazed at the water-free solution he used to clean my car. When he first told me he did not need water I was concerned about scratches. The solution he used removed all the gunk and dirt without scratching. It left a water repellent surface. So when it rained the next day I did not have any water stains! I was also impressed at the interior of the car. It was vacuumed clean and felt like a new car. I attached a picture so you can all see! Every nook and corner was thoroughly cleaned. I think it was cleaner than when I got it from the dealer! Ride on Drive is much more expensive than Lozano's but worth it. When you call them, try to get Wally. Wally is someone who will take care of your car. He definitely knows about cars and how to care for them. If you need your car to look and feel like a new car, definitely check them out!

Bits stuck inside the perforated leather.

Highly recommend their service. I had a passenger that vomited in my car and as much as I tried to clean it, the leather was perforated. I gave Ride On Drive a call (you can make an appointment online) and after explaining what happened and showing them pictures of my car they were able to set up an appointment by text. Wally, my detailer, showed up to my place exactly on time. He was friendly, communicative and it was reassuring to know he did detailing for showroom cars. I booked the tier 2 Interior Detailing and he said it would take 2 hours so I waited inside while he worked his magic. Around 2hrs later he let me know he was finished and I was more than satisfied. There were no remains of the throw up and the entirety of the interior was spotless. I would definitely recommend them to others and next I have to try their exterior detailing.

Wally did a great job with my car this afternoon! The process was super easy. I have street parking and he was able to work at the spot my car was parked at. I had some tough water spots on my ceramic coating which I wasn't able to get out myself but they are gone now! He was also very responsive and answered all of my follow up questions

I got the bronze package and I couldn't be happier. The gentleman that did the works on my car was very professional he did a great job. I had recently went on a trip to Tahoe and I was to tired to clean my car so I booked an appointment and like I said, I couldn't be happier my car looks great inside and out. Now it looks and smells fresh and clean and ready to hit the streets again!!!

My baby after Shayan and his team detailed it. (The missing spots on the step by the window has always been there)

See all

Wally's attention to detail is top tier and has the ability to make your car look better than when it was new. Highly recommended.

I've trusted California Detailing to beautify and protect four cars and three motorcycles for my…read morefamily since our first experience with them in 2022. 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.

After I called Lim, he was able to get me in within just four days. He inspected the issue, corrected it in only a few minutes, and the finish now looks absolutely flawless. Lim was professional, friendly, and genuinely the epitome of excellent customer service. He clearly takes tremendous pride in his work, and it shows in both the quality of the results and the way he treats his customers. It's rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and so committed to doing the job right. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your vehicle, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lim.

When I first reached out to Detailed by Precision, it was because I wanted to do something…read moremeaningful for myself for my birthday. 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!

OCDetailing is no joke. Brought my M3 Comp in for PPF and the job was absolutely phenomenal…read more Really glad I chose OCDetailing. Took a day to travel around to quite a few shops and inspect their current work. It wasn't even close. Got a frozen grey that I wrapped with the Xpel stealth satin. The wrap job is best in the Bay, everything is so tucked, no one believes it's wrapped. I have to open the doors to show them. The finish is incredible. The staff are top notch professionals. Seamlessly functioning, capable and knowledgeable. Joe, the owner, is really good at describing exactly how things will turn out. Very helpful when in getting the exact look you want the on the first try. And very passionate about doing it perfectly. Also experts in vinyl, tinting and ceramic coating. I'm gonna go back next for a little vinyl graphic work!

I've had work done at OCD Detailing a few times now, and they never disappoint. Yes, they're on the…read moreexpensive side, but they are hands down the best I've found in the entire Bay Area. 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.

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.
