    They get the job done & do it well. This is a good place to get a wash when you aren't willing/able to do it yourself, but it's usually got a decent amount of traffic. Get here early when able and during a weekday when possible. You can get your wash for a one time payment or pay monthly if you like to keep your car shinning. The monthly fee for as many washes as you want is worth it when you got once or twice a week. There has never been an issue, outside of waiting for a wash so I'd definitely recommend them.

    This is driving off the car wash smh

    Will not be going back. Left a tip before leaving the lot. That's not happening again. Paid 45 dollars and was disappointed

    OUR RENTAL ALL CLEAN AND READY TO TURN IN

    I'm out here on a work trip with my crew and we got our rental Suburban pretty muddy and dirty on location, so I needed to get a quick exterior car wash. My GPS and yelp led me to this place. Seemed like a good place to get a quick clean. It located at Jackson Street and Soto Road. It's kinda semi industrial area. No real detailing needed, it's a rental, just needed clean enough to return and not get hit with an excessive dirty fee. The cost was around $20 bucks and worth it. The truck goes in one end of the wash and comes out the other and gets hand dried by the staff. OK, all clean and looking way better than the Suburban went in, now off we go and I hope we can keep it clean enough till we turn the truck in! Good job Hayward Carwash!

    Small thick scratch are mine, so i know the other ones weren't there prior.

    wish I would've checked my car before driving off so I could've complained in person about all the scratches they left on my car. 2023 Honda civic with ppf and its so disgustingly scratched now. I'm so disappointed in myself for even trusting them. And based on other reviews they'll most likely deflect, gaslight you that it wasn't their "soft brushes" and not take responsibility. I circled the scratches they did in the photos, they'll deny it but I know for a fact, 100% it was their car wash because the little thick scratch below all the big long scratches, was caused by my hydro flask. I see that scratch E V E R Y D A Y. I KNOW my car, and all the other ones weren't there prior to the wash. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE. All the niceness and hand drying is not worth the deep scratches. I'm so heartbroken about my car :(

    To reply back to Jonny if before I took my car to your car wash and have seen those damages before I wouldn't have the courage to write a bad review. These marks were after going thru your machine and after they vacuum my car. These marks I guarantee you that weren't there before I entered your business

    Didn't even wipe it down

    ZERO stars!! This place is super expensive and does a horrible job. You're better off going to the gas station car wash and literally blow the dust off the inside of your car, that's equivalent to what you'll get when you get your car washed here. WASTE of $40! They have their nerve charging this much.

    This place I have driven past this car wash for years but never had the chance to try it out until recently. I typically wash and clean out my car on my own but being pregnant and 9 months along this was going to be an exhausting task for me. My husband and I wanted to get our cars cleaned and ready for the baby and car seat installation. I know this car wash is membership based but I looked up the prices on their website and they do offer one time service costs as well. My husband and I both got the express detail which cost $70 before tip. And it includes inside and outside cleaning and washing. I know this place always gets busy so we literally went first thing in the morning as it was opening at 8:00 on the weekend, Sunday. And it was still busy, there was still people driving through. I think the wait time wasn't too bad actually maybe 20-30 minutes at most for our service. I had tipped my two guys to clean my car maybe like 6 or 7 bucks each. The job was pretty good maybe they had missed a tiny section in my cup holder which can be easily missed bc you have to lift to get underneath it but that's about it. My husband and I were overall pretty satisfied with the service and the speediness and the price and value of getting our cars Express detailed here.

    Very extremely polite and very hands-on. They do a good job on detailing inside/outside the car. The prices are fair and they make sure the car is shiny from top to bottom! I have the monthly pass so I come frequently they never disappoint.

    Inside car

    Good enough for the price tbh, tip before hand and you'll get an even better experience.

I opted for the Prince Elite package since my car really needed a good scrub down of its exterior & interior. Marco, the detailer, did a fantastic job. My car was super sandy from past fishing & camping trips, and he got everything out! He even got out old bug and sap stains from the windows. My car is super shiny now, and I'm happy all of the sand/dirt marks are gone. I'm super happy I found Elyon Mobile Detail because it was very convenient to have them come to me. The package value was really worth it!

They were very communicative and detailed, showed up on time; and excellent customer service. The price was a bit higher comparatively but I've had friends get quoted from other places and once they show up they state they need to pay more. This is why i appreciated Elyon asking for photos ahead of time so they could accurately quote me and not surcharge day of service. What they quote is what you pay! I paid for an interior only service and will definitely book them again in the future and recommend to my friends and family in the area! 10/10 and so worth it!! (I will post better pictures!)

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.

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.

I brought my car in for PPF, ceramic coating, and ceramic window tint. What stood out right away was how thorough Armando was during the initial consultation. Before he even gave me a quote, he carefully inspected the car for any paint flaws and actually pointed out some imperfections I didn't even realize were there. Instead of just wrapping over them, he took the time to correct as much as he could before starting the PPF install. The quality of the work is top-tier. The PPF looks clean and precise, the ceramic coating has made cleaning the car ridiculously easy (water just slides right off), and the ceramic tint was done perfectly. Armando is real, transparent, and super easy to talk to. No pressure, no sales gimmicks, just honest advice and quality work.
