    Fast and and they go to the point We called The General Auto Spa to Detail and remove some Stains from our interior Rodrigo Uses top quality equipment and got the horrible Stains out and my interior Looking like new

    I sent out a request for service and within 10 minutes I was on the phone with Irving getting a detailed quote. I had two specific issues that he helped me problem-solve before I even committed to the job. Being transparent about their process, materials, and labor, made this an easy choice for me. My main reason for reaching out was to remove scratches and swirl marks on the trunk of the car, but I also needed touch up paint where there was general wear on my front bumper. Both of these tasks were completed within 2 hours. They even threw in a ceramic coating on the trunk to protect the car from similar damage. Top notch service, good communication, good value, and chill to work with. The photo I attached is the trunk of my car. They got it looking like a mirror.

    I was a bit skeptical at the beginning since they had no reviews. But I went thru their pictures and gave it a shot (there's a porsche ok they should know what they're doing right?) The pandemic got me some non paying tenant living under the car's hood so I had to get rid of the rat poop in the car...not fun. They gave me a quote in about 20mins and I got my appointment all setup. They're mobile so you don't need to bring your car in, hand em your keys and they got it done in a few hours since we have two cars. Results? They gave me a sneak peak an hour before the job was done and my engine looks brand new and the interior doesn't smell like dogs on wheels anymore, it actually smell like i just drove it off the dealership's lot. Hopefully the sneaky tenants won't come back again, but I know who I'll be calling for my next service. They even sent me the before and after pix so see it for yourself :)

    For a basic interior & exterior plus dog hair removal the price was reasonable for us. We look forward to hiring them again.

    The General Auto Spa was very easy to communicate with and were available to come to my home! Which is such a convenience for my busy schedule. For a basic exterior wash & interior cleaning plus dog hair removal the price was reasonable for us. We look forward to hiring them again. Thank you so much Rodrigo & the team of General Auto Spa! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

    The General cleaned and conditioned the elderly convertible top!

    Rodrigo and his crew from The General Auto Spa brought their auto detail shop to my home! They were here to detail my (somewhat neglected) 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible. The car needed a good clean and detail. The exterior paint was dulled from sun exposure; with layers of ash from recent wildfires, combined with tree sap and bird poop! The interior was dull and dusty and the dashboard vinyl was dry and cracked. Rodrigo and his team went to work! Two hours later ..... I was stunned and overjoyed with the results of their work! The paint shone and gleamed - exposing beautiful green flecks in the five year old paint job. The interior appeared dewy and supple- the years of devastating sun and dry air wiped away revealing a supple interior and a rich patina! These guys provide an excellent service and tremendous value! Highly recommended by yours truly!

    High quality work. These people take their time and have left me speechless. I purchased their ceramic deal and let me tell you it was the best decision I've made. Definitely recommend

    What can I say about this business, I came a cross from online advertising of this auto spa, I'm very serious about all my vehicles and I want it to give it a shot, OMG my vehicle looks like it came out the showroom, after this took my car for a ride everyone can see how beautiful my car is looking, staff is super friendly and prices are very affordable for the Bay Area prices, I highly recommend the general auto spa. For now on this is the only guy that can treat my cars !!

    Rodrigo and team did such an amazing job in our family car Looks like new in and out Very much recommended!!

    To aggressive with the buffer will mess it up

    Perfect communication before the job, prompt arrival and spotless cleaning combine for the the best mobile detailing experience I've ever had. Showed up fully equipped and ready to go. Will definitely be inviting The General back again.

    Full detail & ceramic coating !

    I just got my Harley detailed from the Detail Gods! I called them last week looking to get an appointment for today and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. Brandon was my technician and he couldn't of done a better job. The bike looks brand new. I didn't even know it could look this clean. I also got it ceramic coated to keep the paint protected. I will most definitely be using them again. Thank you the general and thank you Brandon!

    Imagine finally able to get your dream car and then you start noticing dents and scratches that randomly appear, no matter how much you try to park far away from other cars. After having to look at all imperfections (some of them really bad sharp dents) made by clumsy and careless people that park around me, I decided I had to bring my BMW to someone I cold trust my baby with. As a first time car owner I didn't know where to go so I decided to bring my car to The General Auto Spa. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and ready to make my car look brand new again, and so they did. They told me to get the Ultimate Detail service , and so I got it putting my trust in their hands. My car looks amazing, scratches, dents and dirt damage are completely gone, one of my friends told me it would be hard to remove bumps off the natural curves of the car but these guys did it no problem. I can't imagine trying to gamble again looking for a place I can trust with my car, I will be going here from now on !

    Before and after

    I needed the interior of my car cleaned because I had food spill in the trunk and left it for like 2 weeks while I was away. It smelled terrible in there and looked bad too. Rodrigo came with another guy and cleaned my baby Bonita (my car) up like I just got her off the lot! I will definitely keep them in mind if I need anything like this done on the future! 5 stars :)

    Gave the paint that mirror-like finish I was looking for!!!!!

    See all

    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.

The quality of everything was excellent, from the customer service to the actual work done! At other car-related companies that are male-dominated, I have experienced patronizing and borderline insulting service. At OCDetailing, they treated me like a normal/valuable customer. I hadn't read reviews in advance, so I was pleasantly surprised that they ordered and paid for my Uber. This place is expensive, and there is a weeks-long wait to get work done, but they will not settle for anything less than perfection. They even scheduled a follow-up appointment to check their work. The 5 stars are well earned!

I recently took my Tesla Model X in for a full suite of services: Paint Protection Film (PPF), Ceramic Coating, and Window Tinting. The entire experience was nothing short of seamless. The Service & Quality: From the moment I dropped off the car, I knew it was in expert hands with Sarah and the team. PPF: The edges are tucked so perfectly you can barely tell there is a film on the car. It's peace of mind knowing the paint is now shielded from the inevitable Bay Area road debris. Ceramic Coating: The finish is incredibly slick and has that deep, "wet" look that makes the car pop. Maintenance washes have become significantly easier. Window Tinting: They did a flawless job on the tint. The heat rejection is immediately noticeable, which is a game-changer for the Tesla cabin, and the clarity from the inside is crystal clear. The Experience What really sets Auto Pro Detailing apart is the professionalism. They didn't just take the keys; they walked me through the different film options, explained the curing process, and gave me a realistic timeline, which they stuck to perfectly. There were no surprises, no hidden fees, and the communication was proactive throughout the week. Verdict It is rare to find a shop that combines technical skill with such a customer-centric approach. If you want your Tesla to look better than it did the day you picked it up from the delivery center, this is the place to go. I couldn't recommend them more.

TLDR: after the fact he said that to provide the work specified in his offer would be 2x the quote. And it seems he has fired this great 5 star team for *his* mistake. Bah. The technicians are hard working and delightful, in particular Christian. 5 stars for Christian. I don't think he is with this company any more though. If only scheduling had been the only challenge. Scheduling is unreliable, as you've seen in multiple other reviews. Three reschedules at the last minute. This is not the company to use if you have a deadline or event. Paolo offered a written scope of work, including the unambiguous "Our steam and hot extraction and removal service of stains, liquid spills, has no additional cost, it is courtesy of our company." Screenshots provided. This was not communicated to the technicians, who did not have the appropriate steam extraction equipment when they arrived. I reasonably expected the owner to send them back at a less busy time to complete the agreed upon written scope of work and at which time I would pay on completion. Nope. You can see here in the follow up messaging Paolo said the cost of the work as he had promised would be $190 more, providing justification for the cost with information he already had prior to creating the quote offer in the first place. He had the size of the vehicle, the location, and my explicit priority for deep shampoo of an older used high mileage vehicle. I also re-communicated this multiple times each time of the last minute reschedule. I am at a loss as to what I as a client could have done for better communication. This is frustrating most of all because at the time of updating this review, he is punishing his hardworking team for his mistake and I am of the impression they were fired.

A friend of mine (I wish I could find the before / after photos he sent me) had a virtual miracle performed by these guys. Like myself, my friend has several small children who no matter how hard one tries to clean, absolutely trash the interior of one's vehicle. These guys took his wife's car from looking like an episode of "Hoarders" to showroom new looking. It was impressive. But the price. You have to be willing to spend. Hence why I'll not be using them, wanted to drop a review (my friend doesn't use yelp)... Also the guys here seem quite professional & prompt replies. I was quoted $490.00 for an interior/exterior detail & $450/ea if I brought both vehicles (mid sized SUVs). I'm not sure of the going rate here in the Bay Area for this kind of detail service, but almost $1,000 for 2 vehicles is far beyond what I'd be willing to spend. (My guy I used to use, a mobile service was $225.00). Prices seem incredibly high, however, I've seen the miracles these dudes can perform & it was definitely noteworthy.
