    Mike is an amazing artist and exceeded all my expectations. He is extremely talented and really works hard to understand what you want and to create your vision. Don't hesitate hiring Mike, he is dependable, professional, kind and an expert artist.

    Thanks Mike for the awesome pinstripes on my bike. The colors you suggested look great!

    We had our Spyder striped by Mike the Stripe in Milpitas, he did an amazing job. Mike has a true talent that you just dont find these days. We told him our thoughts but left the creativity to him since we have seen his work before and loved it. When we came back that afternoon to pick up the bike we were amazed.... what he had done was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. I recommend him 1000% Super nice guy that is extremely talented.. What more could you want.. Give him a try... Lena

    Mike is great!!, he came to do some striping for me on short notice, he also did ghost flames on my 37 Ford Roadster and it turned out just great, for all of you out there looking for the real deal you should defenetly consider him. Look him up on Instagram mikethestripe

    Mike had the stripes on in no time.

    Straight up, Mike the Stripe is too cool. I found a roll of reflective tape and I asked Mike to take a look and see if it was even usable. With out an appointment Mike had me come over, he looks at the tape and said it was good stuff and then tells me what would look best. Then he puts it on perfectly in a matter of minutes. Not only that he designed some hard hat stickers for me totally on the fly and they came out awesome. If you have a Graphic Arts need, whether it be for your car, building or even clothing Mike the Stripe is your man.

    I was looking for an Old-school pinstripe artist to lay down some paint on my Chevy SSR to make it stand out even more than it already does. I had many ideas about what I wanted. Mike is a true artist and an absolute pro. He worked with me several times to help me define what I was looking for. I explained the feel I was going for and the colors I wanted. He showed me his ability to freehand flames and showed me previous jobs he had done. From there, I just let go and trusted him. I was amazed at his vision and his ability to create a truly unique piece of art on my truck. It turned out even better than I could have imagined. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to have striping, lettering or any other custom touches added to their vehicle. I will definitely be coming back to him in the future.

    Writing for my dad who had his car done here. Mike the stripe a true professional of 41 years of fine detailing and service. He is the ultimate artist. I got my Dodge Charger custom pin striped and I couldn't be happier with the results. Aka big prawn. He's very punctual and high quality workmanship.

    Mike the stripe does custom design vinyl body wraps.

    No other place compares. If You want the best looking work give Mike a call at 408-316-8761. You can't go wrong with Mike the stripe. Go somewhere else if you want a crappy job .

    Mike was easily the best experience I've ever had with any automotive type job. He knows vinyl and striping like no other. Extremely passionate about what he does and the way he does his work is very thorough and the end result was amazing! He Re-Striped my Shelby GT500 and it looks just as good as factory if not better. Go to him before you overspend for a shop that doesn't even take pride in their work.

    Just had my Mazda 3 custom hand striped by Mikethestripe in Milpitas. He has done just an outstanding job. So much more art then I expected. And I love it! I would recommend Mike hands down for that custom job you have always wanted to make your auto unique. He also does custom banners, posters and decals......

    Under the Christmas tree!

    Supreme Detailworks - 2020 BMW M4 Full Front PPF in Suntek Ultra Defense & Ceramic Pro Silver Package

    Supreme Detailworks

    (276 reviews)

    North San Jose

    Before my Porsche Panamera even arrived, I spent weeks researching paint protection film (PPF),…read moreceramic coating, and detailing shops throughout the Bay Area. As someone who had waited months for a custom-ordered Porsche, I knew I wanted to protect the car from day one and wasn't willing to trust it to just anyone. I researched, visited, or spoke with nearly ten different shops before making my decision. Some were significantly cheaper. Some promised much faster turnaround times. Many claimed they could deliver the same result. Between the PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, windshield protection film, interior protection, and other treatments, my project represented an investment of nearly $20,000. At that level, I wasn't looking for the cheapest option--I was looking for the highest level of craftsmanship. One thing that stood out during my research was that many Bay Area shops quoted anywhere from 20% to 50% less than Supreme Detailworks. At first glance, that gets your attention. However, many of those same shops also quoted completion times that were only one-third or even one-quarter of the time James estimated for essentially the same scope of work. That immediately raised a red flag for me. When someone claims they can do the same work for far less money and in a fraction of the time, I start asking questions. The more I learned about Supreme Detailworks' process--paint preparation, component removal, edge wrapping, tucked installations, and quality control--the more I understood where that extra time was going. It wasn't inefficiency. It was attention to detail. I also compared Supreme Detailworks against one of the highly respected PPF shops in the Chicago area that is nationally known for premium installations. To my surprise, James' pricing was very similar. And even if I had chosen the Chicago shop, shipping the car there and back would have added roughly another $5,000 in transportation costs alone, not to mention additional time and logistics. Having that level of craftsmanship available right here in the Bay Area made the decision much easier. For my Panamera, James and his team installed PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, front windshield protection film, protection for the headlights and glass roof, interior PPF for the gloss black trim, and matte protection for all touchscreen surfaces, including the digital instrument cluster. The result is so seamless that several of my friends couldn't even tell my Panamera had PPF installed. In fact, I had to physically show them where to look and where to touch before they realized the vehicle was protected. That's how clean and invisible the installation is. What impressed me most was that James never tried to upsell me. Instead, he took the time to explain the different options and recommend what made the most sense for how I planned to use the car. One thing many people don't realize is that the true quality of a PPF installation is found in the details--the edges, seams, corners, and difficult areas where shortcuts are often taken. James and his team don't take shortcuts. They carefully remove and disassemble components when necessary to ensure the film is properly wrapped and hidden wherever possible. After investing nearly $20,000 in protection, the last thing I wanted was visible seams, lifted edges, or obvious installation lines. Supreme Detailworks delivered exactly what I was hoping for: a fully protected vehicle that still looks completely factory original. Another thing prospective customers should know is that Supreme Detailworks is almost always busy. There is usually a waiting list, and scheduling requires patience. If you're looking for the fastest shop in town, this may not be the place for you. If you're looking for the cheapest shop in town, this definitely isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a team that refuses to rush the process and treats your vehicle as if it were their own, the wait is absolutely worth it. During my visits, I regularly saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Maseratis, Porsches, Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Audis, Land Rovers, Lexus vehicles, Teslas, and many other enthusiast cars in the shop. Seeing that lineup gave me additional confidence that I had chosen the right place. After seeing the finished result on my Porsche, I can honestly say my expectations were exceeded. And if you're looking for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a team that treats your vehicle as if it were their own, Supreme Detailworks is hard to beat. Thank you, James and the entire Supreme Detailworks team, for treating my Panamera as if it were your own.

He took a look at it and was able to remove the paint transfer for me right then and there. I was only there a short time, but he completely made my day and put my mind at ease. He was straightforward, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, and just genuinely wanted to help. It's easy to see why Supreme Detailworks has such great reviews. Thank you so much, James -- I truly appreciated your kindness and honesty!

    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!

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.

Left with more issues than I came with, and the original issue unresolved Called them for a slight adjustment of ignition timing for 94 7.4l chevy 3500 - I explained to them I know how to do it but I am between jobs and cant really afford to mess it up right now. they told me they knew how to do it, and thenowner told me he would try to work with me on price (since it should be relatively quick and not terribly intensive). Instead, the next day I brought it in and after they fiddled with it for 2 hours, flooring it with timing CLEARLY *way* off, climbing around in the engine bay, their feet catching on lines (one which i reconnected, I haven't had the capacity to investigate further, not gonna lie..) they told me they couldnt and didn't know how they had been connected prior (not even a pic or anything) so after guessing (also thinking some reason the FIRING ORDER would be somehow changed from what it would be for this engine??? Does anyone know of a 7.4L that doesn't fire 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2???? Or a 7.4l with cylinder numbers different?????) I helped them out it back to how it had been when I drove up. Got it back about a mile away and let it sit Now it wont stay running because after it taking a second or two to start up (it fired up instantly before, even on cold starts, part of why I EXPLIXITLY EXPLAINED that I didn't want to touch it unless I had someone that fr sure knew what they were doing, as it was running amazing), it bogs down and rpms go up and down, the engine dying, and wont remain running. Lunching violently if i try to drive it. I'm glad others have had better experiences, but from mine, this was the epitome of everything ive ever feared about an auto shop I take that back, they didn't end up charging me. So they aren't *the* absolute worst.. and they weren't rude or anything about it, so I am appreciative of that The gentleman I interacted with on site was professional, kind, and considerate. He was not as knowledgeable about this particular service or engine or how engine firing order works as I would've liked, nor was the mwchanic. But we all must learn in order to know. I just wish they hadn't done it on MY truck. When I know how to do it, it doesn't have to be done at this moment, and I am between jobs with limited funds and already overwhelmed.. *** Update: I found out why it was having new trouble - he had pulled loose a cable for the egr and air flow..
