I just had my black SUV polished, waxed and all dents removed! Charles and his team did an excellent job! I highly recommend him. Next up my wife's car! read more

I'm a first-time customer and drove my car away very satisfied with the job Earl did. I asked for an interior detail and exterior wash. I'm on the road constantly so I hadn't cleaned my car out in god knows how long. He made it look like new for a very reasonable price. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'll be back. read more

Our brand new Tesla unfortunately got a ton of wet asphalt all over the passenger side. I was panicked that I would have to spend thousands of dollars in new parts and repainting that would never look the same as new. But Earl and team spent one day with it, and it was better than new. Like nothing ever happened. Amazing. read more

On Location Mobile Detailing - Before - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Rafael, California

See all

Earl, the owner went above and beyond for me. He has detailed all my cars and trucks. I would recommend him highly to everyone. He has an attention to detail that can't be explained. He really shows that he cares about all his customers and is extremely flexible with time. He also gave me a ride I didn't have a ride he takes pride in what he does. All the jobs are thoroughly looked at by him and if there's any issues, he will quickly resolve them. He did extra things for me that I didn't ask for. Earl is the best. read more

I brought my car in today to have my windows and roof looked at. There was tree sap on my car that needed immediate assistance and Earl was able to help me asap. I am so grateful for the job they did on my car, they were able to get all the sap removed and took out all of the scratches on my roof as well at no extra cost. Highly recommended. read more

I had my car, a 2021 Tesla Model 3, polished with a full ceramic coat two days ago. My car STILL looks better than it did the first day I picked up from the dealership. I don't have a garage, so my vehicle is in the elements 24/7. I highly recommend this shop. Nice to get your car detailed by people who love cars as much as you do. They do it for the passion and it shows. read more

Best car detail service in Marin County. My 2013 MB couple need to be spruced up. Interior seats needed cleaning and conditioning; the exterior had lost it's shine. Five hours later the paint shined like new, the interior looked, felt and smelt like new. Fabulous job thanks to Earl and his crew. read more

Earl took fabulous care of my BMW 330Ci, BMW 550i and Toyota Sequoia. He was always done right at the time he quoted and his prices are very fair. He has eyes like a hawk and can readily identify flaws in the paint and coating. My vehicles are all very happy and look immaculate. I will have him do a full interior detail of my Sequoia. It is very reassuring to entrust the care of my vehicles to an expert. He also recommended leather finishing for my 19 yr old 330CI and it now looks like new! I've already recommended my buddies. Better Call Earl! read more

Earl! And his crew are the best in all of the Bay Area. Thank you Earl for being amazingly professional and keeping my Black Tesla looking like it just came off the showroom floor. I went to Earl at the recommendation of the Tesla dealership. I had some stain on my hood when I parked under a tree. I tried to get these stains off with no luck. I used lots of muscle power and wax. Nothing worked. I thought I needed a paint job. I went to Earl. A couple hours later the car was looking brand new!!! Earl and his guys did it. Amazing job. Thank you Earl!! read more

I drive my 3 and 5 year old daily and gave up trying to keep my car clean... but finally my SUV hit rock bottom from someone getting car sick, all the snacks, toting bikes and beach gear, dirty foot prints and little sunscreen handprints inside and out. I found On Location here on Yelp and am so grateful! I got the complete detail today and I swear my car looks better than when I got it off the lot over 3 years ago!! Thank you Earl and team!! You're awesome! read more

I was trying to clean my husband's *brand new* Tesla and managed instead to scratch straight across the entire hood (note: never use a squeegee on the body of a car). Needless to say my husband was beside himself and I wanted to commit hari kari. I called the Tesla repair shop, and they sent me to Earl at On Location Mobile Detailing. It turns out that's where they send all their cars. Earl's worked on over 8000 Teslas in the last five years. The guy at Tesla swore by Earl and his quality. Well, I tell you. Earl and his crew are pure magic. You cannot see even the least shadow of the scratch. I'm not talking barely--I mean that the three feet long scratch is ***gone.*** And there is not even a scuff around it showing that they did any work. In fact, the car looks better than it did the day we got it (because he detailed the entire thing). In addition, Earl is about the nicest, sweetest, most reassuring person I've ever met. Super glad I met him. And, as an added bonus, it was a great price. I seriously can't rave enough about Earl and On Location Mobile Detailing. read more

These guys do the best work in Marin County....easily. Not the cheapest option in town, and not the most expensive option in town...just really nice people who stand behind their work....and really know the job. Earl is great. I just brought my first car there, and now I'm going to bring the rest of our cars there. I was referred to these guys through another auto business in town, and I'm glad they did. Earl has saved me a bunch of money... read more

My pristine one month old 2019 Lexus GS350 was suddenly the recipient of severe paint overspray from a major construction project next to where I live In Kentfield/Greenbrae. I thought the car might be ruined, but Charles Dent - On Location Mobile Detailing was highly recommended as a great detailer who could fix it, and I was not disappointed. Charles (aka Earl) is a nice guy and he and his help did an outstanding job removing the overspray and detailing the car. He is clearly very experienced and knows what he is doing. The car now looks newer than new and better than the day I picked it up brand new from the dealership. Five Stars - Thanks Earl! read more

This has been the best in detailing my cars. My 65 Falcon is a 2 time winner in car shows.

The above post by Maria Z. is utterly "BS" and just completely bias. This is one of the most hones,reliable and consistent detailers in this area, "Earl" the owner is a very well RESPECTED and Liked business owner in this area, and before passing judgement either try them for yourself or speak with one of the local busineses in the area. "For a competitor to actually send a person like Maria Z. to another rival business to justify posting negative remarks is just shameful" and YES thats what you guys done, and you know who you are. LOL, Obviously feeling a lil threatened huh. LOL, LOL, Big Earl! Shot out my man keep doing what you do, and let the HATERS do what they do, GOD knows we need them IDIOTS. " ON LOCATION MOBILE DETAILING " IS A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR CARS. read more

Earl kindly fit me in last minute for full-detailing. I was so grateful for the hard work he and his crew put into my car. My car has never looked so good, I will definitely be back. read more

I had my car detailed here. I'm over the moon happy with the excellent job done. My friend said to me that my car looked like a new car. Earl and his staff are easy to approach, fair in their pricing, and think of everything. A medium-sized dent in a hard to get to place has been banned to another galaxy. I told him it reminded me of Ball Park Franks - plumped up and everything. WHOO HOO! I will definitely be back and I will definitely tell my friends. You can't go wrong with ON LOCATION. read more

Yes - "magic" is the word that comes to mind. My 2000 Saab was disgusting, and not fit to sell, let alone ride in. Earl worked his magic and - voila! - my car was more beautiful then when I first bought it. Run, do not walk, to this business and enjoy a shiny new car at a reasonable price. Thanks, Earl! read more

Earl and his crew are magicians! Words cannot describe the condition of my truck after a long weekend driving off road - there were thousands of scratches from where it had been driven through manzinita bushes. I went to 4 body shops each of which said I would need a full paint job which would be $10K+. The 5th body shop recommended that I check out Earl before starting the insurance claim. I met with Earl and he was straight up. He named very fair price and said he could get out 90% of the scratches in 2 days. He removed 99% of the scratches in less than a day - his crew exceeded my expecations. Beside the buffing/scratch removal, the rest of the detail job was amazing - my truck is cleaner than the day I drove it off the lot. To top things off, Earl dropped me off at work, and picked me up after hours (I had to work until 8PM) to ensure that I wouldn't be burdened by lack of transportation the following morning Bottom line: Earl and his crew deliver exceptional results at extremely reasonable prices. Do not go anywhere else, take your car/truck./boat to On Location Mobile Detailing! read more

I would definitely not use this company again. What they do, they do well. The potential damage will cost you a lot in repairs. My very strong suggestion is to go elsewhere. Man do I wish I'd washed my own car that day. read more

Yes, Earl and his crew are grrreat!! They fixed my car up very nice and pretty quickly and even went the extra mile to do a bit extra gratis that I didnt even ask for... that's great customer service. Very cheerful people too! read more

Hello, I'm Gabe's Car. I've been abused, neglected, bashed into things, subjected to his questionable driving skills, shoehorned into to too small parking spaces, left with valets who have the driving skills of drunk Hessians, beshat by all species of avian menace, and washed with a frequency approaching that of Halley's comet. And yet I provide consistent, expeditious, and tireless transport to he and his cavorting cohorts. What thanks do I get? Well, every couple of years, he takes me to get detailed. Recently, he's been to lazy to do even that, and I have suffered stoically under the yoke of this cruel, cruel master. But lo! He found these guys who come to your home or place of work, and for a paltry sum of $200 rejuvenate cars like me to a wondrous luster. After a thorough vacuum, shampoo, polish, buffing, hand waxing, and window cleaning, I rise, like a phoenix from the ashes of my former self. It's an automotive day-spa of sorts. All of the other cars keep asking if I'm a newer model year. Most are convinced that I've had "body work" done. Nope, just three hours in the capable hands of these capable fellows and I feel like I just drove off the showroom floor. They're based in Marin, but they're willing to meet you in SF or the East Bay if you're flexible. read more

They worked magic on my black car. No swirls, my car felt like new. The first time they came to my work, last time I left it at their shop and they gave me a ride. read more

Earl and his team are the best, i have a mercedes convertible that definitely needed detailing before i turned it in and looks brand new. Earl went the extra mile for me taking the car in at 5:30 pm and was ready the next day at 1pm. Best detailer I have ever used. read more

To write a proper review, I first have to invent a better word than "detailing"....."perfectionating?!?!?".....what Earl and his staff do for cars is way beyond merely thoroughing washing, cleaning, vacuuming, waxing, buffing, polishing, etc, etc. Earl always delivers! I am VERY picky - before I met Earl, I used to detail my own car (6 hours of backbreaking work and it's *small*) because I couldn't find someone treated my car with the TLC I do. Earl and his staff do an amazing job, and always have my cars looking car show/showroom ready. On top of doing perfect jobs, he is super flexible and works around my schedule, and all at unbeatable prices! If you LOVE your car, if you're selling and want to get top price, if your car needs to impress, if you want to keep your car's value, have Earl take care of you! read more
