Their shop looks like MTV Cribs designed it, quite an impressive layout. Filled with hundred thousand dollar cars from their clients that trust them says something about their credibility. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner was friendly and quoted me a fair price for the labor involved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 2 days later I got my car back fresh and smelling new again. I can't ask for more. I'll be supporting these guys for the years to come. Don't hesitate to bring your prized possessions here, it'll come out better than you expect. I'd give them an A+ read more

My first time here with a 9-yo car that hasn't been detailed in several years. They did an excellent job removing a scratch, many swirls, and restoring the original color. Interior is also super clean now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon kept me informed on progress throughout and gave me car-care tips at pickup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am very pleased with the level of detail and care that they provided and would go back again. read more

I had the front bumper and side mirrors protected with PPF, and I'm very happy with the results. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon made the whole process easy, from scheduling the appointment to keeping me updated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I dropped off my car and had it back the very next day. The workmanship is excellent, and everything looks perfect. I'll definitely be coming back for more work in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Back for the third time with another 5-star review for Brandon and his team! This time, I contacted Brandon to make an appointment to get full front PPF, window tints, and a ceramic coat before I even picked up my new GTI (named Otto Bahn, heh) from the dealership because I actually plan on keeping the car for a good amount of time this time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon, as always, was super responsive and communicative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He responded in detail to all my questions, was super honest in telling me that PPF in one area really wouldn't make much of a difference (saving me several hundred dollars), and did a full walk-around with me when I picked up my car after all the work was done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also gave me a loaner for the week they had my car, which I greatly appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Super happy with the work, and I'll be back for maintenance washes and detailing over the years. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent experience with GSAS once again! Service was fast and my car was ready right on time. The quality of the work is top-notch -- you can tell they take pride in what they do. Honest, straightforward business with no upselling or surprises. I'll definitely be back for future work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy business. read more

This is the only place my boyfriend and I would/will get our cars detailed. They are always consistent, fast, and have our cars spotless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon makes the process seriously so smooth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely always a positive and easy experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can tell they actually care about customers and not just getting the job done fast. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always nice to get a response from a business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately it was my fault for staying out of the Yelp world for so long. I totally forgot I used yelp for help. read more

Where do I even begin?! I am OBSESSED!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon and his team at Golden State Auto Salon absolutely crushed it!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I brought in my smoke grey Porsche Taycan Turismo because I just wasn't loving the stock color, and WOW... they completely transformed it into a sleek, head-turning masterpiece. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brandon was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really took the time to walk me through everything, which made the whole experience feel easy and exciting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went with a black PPF wrap, window tints, and ceramic coating--and let me just say... the result is STUNNING!! My car looks so clean and glossy! I even purchased the snow shine kit to clean my car. If you're thinking about upgrading your car--DO IT and go to Golden State Auto Salon. Highly, highly recommend!!

Appreciated all the help on tinting my black car without going too dark and still making her look sexy and seamless

I recommend Golden State Auto Salon if you want exceptional service and if you want to work with a team that takes care of your car like it's their own. I recently had my car treated with a front end PPF, window tinting, and a ceramic coating, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The PPF saves my paint from rock chips, and the ceramic coating keeps the paint protected and makes the car so easy to wash since the dirt and grime glides right off. The window tint has been providing me with anti-glare and UV protection which are big concerns during my daily commute. Brandon and his team are professional and have high attention to detail and it shows in the end results. I highly recommend these services from Golden State Auto Salon to anyone who wants to protect and maintain their car! read more

Got my vehicle wrapped in full PPF + ceramic as well as added tint to all windows here. Brandon has been great to work with as he is easy to reach, provides updates throughout the process, and the quality of the work is top notch. I've had other cars wrapped in PPF by other places in the past and I've noticed some small imperfections. However, with my most recent vehicle done here at Golden State Auto Salon, the work is flawless. Would definitely use again and would recommend! read more

I requested a quote from multiple places and Brandon and his team's quote was very competitive. I got both PPF and ceramic coating. They have a car pickup option if you don't have the time to drop it off. Couple weeks after the PPF we noticed some wrinkling in the wrap and Brandon was more than happy to arrange a time to smooth it out. Highly recommend going here. read more

Golden State Auto Salon - Damage on front bumper - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Mateo, California

Golden State Auto Salon was incredible! I got valet service, meaning they picked up the vehicle and dropped it off for me. The guys who picked up and dropped it off were very nice and friendly. I got an exterior detailing and the car looked almost brand new. They focused on this little area on my bumper that was scuffed up. Not sure how it got there but they did a great job buffing it out. It's still there but barely noticeable and not expecting any magician work. They got the door jams which is often overlooked. The interior details was also a nice touch. For the price I paid, I will absolutely have Golden State Auto Salon work on my car again. read more

Great company. They squeezed me in their schedule asap and did an absolutely amazing job detailing the car I use on Turo.

Amazing Service. Staff was super friendly. Tint quality was great. I felt like they really cared about my car and worked quickly. I would 100% recommend. read more

Just picked up my car from GSAS and I am very impressed with the work they did. The paint correction and ceramic coating looks amazing. Brandon and his team were very professional, he gave me a next day appointment when I requested a quote on Yelp. When I got there, Brandon walked me through everything that I requested, including paint correction/ceramic coating, chrome delete and headlights PPF. Brandon was really good at communicating with his customers, update me each step of the way, I really appreciate the team at GSAS. I highly recommend GSAS to anyone who is looking to have work done on their vehicle. read more

When I looked back, I had been researching a car detail since July. I use my car, a 2011 Prius, to drive for work so believe you me it needed a miracle to look anything close to brand new. Well when Harvey @ Golden State Auto Salon met Tracie' 2011 Prius, it was as close to a miracle as they come. Said Prius hung out with Harvey and the Golden state team all the live long day....and yes they did make the magic happen. I could post an after photo but I can't post a before photo and keep my reputation as a decent human being Let's just say, my car looks so good I may never drink coffee inside again. My research paid off; the Golden State Auto Salon did a great job!! read more

Audi dealership heavily swirled my new car paint prior to driveoff, so I brought in my new Q8 etron to Golden State Auto for a full exterior detail, including paint correction, and ceramic coating. Two weeks later, I returned for a complimentary maintenance wash and got my front windows ceramic tinted 70VLT, for UV and heat blocking purposes. Brandon and the team did an amazing job. After their detailing, the car paint glistened better than it ever did at the dealership. They're quick but not rushed, attentive to detail, respectful to the cars they work on, and offer terrific value. Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. They're the only guys I'd trust to work on my car. The tint job was clean, can't see any untinted gaps and no major bubbles. Brandon helped me pick out the perfect VLT for my use case. And he provided me tons of info on how to maintain my paint condition after the coating. I will be back! read more

I brought in my m340i for ceramic tints and front bumper PPF. Brandon was highly responsive and updated me periodically on the status of my car as it was being worked on. His team did an amazing job on the tint and PPF. Pricing was competitive with other places in the area and they use high quality products (SunTek). After the install, there were bubbles left behind but this is natural and was told it will go away with time. I was told that I can contact them anytime if I have any issues with the install down the line. This really shows that Brandon and his team stands by their work and is willing to work with their customers to ensure their satisfaction. Would highly recommend Golden State Auto Salon to anyone looking to have work done to their vehicle. read more

Great business. Got my car detailed with the full shabang, was scheduled quickly and done the same day. Will definitely continue coming here

Our car is 5 years old and never had a detail before, was starting to think it might need one in the near future. A big spill of sauce from a broccoli beef catering tray in our backseat turned a "sometime in the next year" to ASAP! The smell alone was pretty bad! One visit to Golden State Auto Salon and 6 hours later, the stain, the smell and 5 years of commuter dirt are all gone! To top it off, [[HIGHLIGHT]]they responded very quickly when I reached out for a quote (which was very reasonable) and provided great customer service start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much, Golden State Auto Salon! We will definitely be back :) read more

The paint correction and ceramic coating is so worth it. Looks amazing and glossy afterward. Brendon replied to my texts promptly and gave me all the instructions to take care of the car in the future. Cool guy and the end result looks amazing. Highly recommended!! read more

Through Yelp messaging, I booked an auto detailing appointment with the owner, Brandon on Sept 21st for 10 am. Even though their shop window states that they are open on Saturdays, their shop was closed. I texted and called and Goldie called me back and tried to help me. Unfortunately, she didn't have any one available to come to the shop. I wasted 30 min of my time waiting around. Brandon called me back and left a voicemail apologizing. He also explained that they booked me in the wrong month. I know it's an honest mistake, but if a shop can't handle the appointment details, then how can I trust you to detail my car. read more

I had my car detailed here for the third time, and I will keep coming back. Brandon and his team are excellent communicators and detail-oriented with great attitudes. My car feels like new every time I get it back. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Can't say enough good things about the whole gang over at Golden State! From the very first phone call, Brandon was on top of getting my car looking the way it always should have. The pricing was very reasonable, I could tell they took their time, and they beautifully applied the coating. Harvey is always working hard whenever I've seen him in the shop, I love seeing the passion everyone has! I got a 2 stage paint correction with ceramic coating, and ceramic coating on my wheels. They really know their chemicals, the best processes on decontamination, and how to take care of the car after it's been brought back to life. Part of me wishes that the coating didn't last so long, just so that I could go back sooner and give them more business! :) I 100% would absolutely, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically recommend Golden State to anyone who wants quality work done. read more
