    Paul is the real deal. I needed some headlight restoration work to see better while driving at night. He got my car back in shape super quick. He's professional, kind and efficient. His staff are all super helpful as well. While working on the headlight restoration, they noticed my car battery was not properly secured and helped me get that back into position as well. As they worked they educated me on small but meaningful ways to maintain my car. They were so clear and informative! My car feels way safer to drive now - I'd recommend Paul's services to anyone!

    I can't recommend Paul's Mobile Detailing enough. After a mommy-daughter camping trip, we got completely rained out and I ended up putting several soaking wet comforters in the trunk of my car. Even though I removed them and cleaned things up when we got home, I started noticing a mildew/mold smell that wouldn't go away. I had never dealt with anything like that before and wasn't sure what to do. I found Paul online and called him, and even before I became a customer, he was kind enough to offer a complimentary assessment. I drove over, and within minutes he was able to inspect the vehicle, explain what was going on, and walk me through my options. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. His shop was spotless, organized, and reflected the level of care he puts into his work. When I picked up my car, I was blown away. Paul and his team did a phenomenal job!!! Not only is the mildew smell completely gone, but my car literally looks and smells brand new. The attention to detail was exceptional, and it's clear that Paul takes tremendous pride in his work. As someone who appreciates perfectionism, I could tell he genuinely cares about getting every detail right. He exceeded my expectations in every way. My family and I will absolutely be returning for future detailing needs, and I highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone looking for honest, professional, top-quality service. 10/10 experience. Thank you, Paul and team!

    The pictures speak for themselves. After updating my review I get a private message from Paul on Yelp reading as follows: You're straight up lame. Can't make this up folks.

    Five stars isn't enough. Paul at Paul's Detailing took my car, which had been through a milkshake disaster, years of husky fur buildup (can only do so much with my portable vacuum at home), and some mystery interior damage, and handed it back to me smelling and looking brand spanking new. Literally his words, and he delivered on them completely. What set him apart was the depth he went to. He could've just wiped things down and called it a day, but instead he pulled the front seat out to find and clean milk residue that had seeped underneath the rubber mat. He used a leather soft-fill compound to repair a burn hole in the seat headrest and repainted it to match. He restored my foggy headlights until they looked factory fresh. He revived the faded exterior plastic trim. And through all of it, he kept me updated constantly, explaining exactly what he found, what he recommended, and why, with zero pressure. I really appreciate how communicative he is with his clients, it's one of my favorite things to look out for when trying out a business for the first time, and he delivered. His pricing is fair and transparent. That kind of integrity is rare. If your car needs love, take it to Paul. You won't regret it. I showed up to drop off my car extremely stressed out. It was one of those moments where I realized, yeah I haven't shown this car some love in yearsss, and I am happy I trusted Paul to bring it back to life!

    Paul did a fantastic job with my vehicle! I brought it to him in the morning and he went above and beyond to provide photo and text updates along the way. His team and him took great care of my vehicle and also gave it a very thorough detail. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a car care company!

    Paul and his crew are miracle workers, I'd put an exponent on the 5 stars if I could. Here is the short version - if your car has an "oh god, how am I ever going to deal with that" kind of problem, go see Paul. He knows what he's doing, he'll make sure you know why he is suggesting each part of the job, he and his workers will be thorough, and you'll be really happy with the results. Here is the long version: I have ADHD, I have dogs, I live part-time in a house in the woods, and I don't care how my car looks. I am 60 years old, I've owned cars since I was 16, I've always had dogs, and I have literally never had a car detailed, or done anything beyond exterior washing and too-rare interior vacuuming. My car was a mess and would probably still be, but some mice moved in (did I mention the house in the woods?). I found a nest on top of the engine compartment, cleaned out some mouse poop from the interior, and thought that was the end of the story. A week or two later, a truly rank smell developed. It was way worse than the car's usual scent, "Eau de Pit Bull." Being a country girl, I know the smell of dead mammals. But I had no idea what could be done. The smell was getting riper, and I knew it'd get into the fabric in the car and never go away. I found Paul's shop, and that was a really lucky day for me. I texted after 3pm on a Friday, and Paul rearranged his afternoon to meet me at the shop right away. He and one of his employees, the stench was from a dead animal. They took it in stride, and they immediately started trying to figure out exactly where it was coming from. What I saw was: This is what they do, they know how to do it, and they're confident they can find and solve the problem. Paul clearly has a ton of knowledge and experience, and he seems to really like helping people through his work. He respected my time and responded thoughtfully to my concerns (cost, insurance, how long it would take). He sent me a zillion photos and progress reports, checked in at each step if there was a decision about whether they should stop or keep going, explained the pros/cons of each choice. His whole crew was really polite, and willing (even eager) to show me what they were doing, how stuff worked, all that. Paul was also helpful in my conversations with the insurance adjuster, advocating for the kind of work that was needed to make the car usable again. As a middle-aged woman, I can tell you that kind of respect and support has been pretty rare in my experience with "car guys." It turned out the problem was not one but TWO dead mice and their nests. Paul and his crew made sure they looked everywhere; they dismantled, searched, cleaned and deodorized every area of the car imaginable - battery compartment, around the spare tire, under the back seats, center console, you name it. They used enzymes and ozone treatment to clean and deodorize it all. By the time they were done, the interior was so clean that the scratches and dirt on the outside looked even worse, so they did whatever magic stuff they do, and now my car looks as close to new as it possibly could. I honestly didn't know that was even possible at this point. I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to my car-ignoring ways after this. Either way, I am so pleased with the work they did.

    Amazing customer service, honest insight to ensure we knew what we were dealing with and how to resolve. We took my car in after my dog had vomited in the cargo area on a road trip. The smell was lingering despite us cleaning the carpet with our Bissell. Paul was honest, and did a thorough assessment before giving us a breakdown. He proactively removed the plastic components (with our permission) to check if any had fallen through the cracks. Sure enough, it had. He did a deep cleaning, removed all vomit, cleaned and sanitized. My car looked immaculate and smelled sooooo much better. Highly recommend Paul's Mobile Detailing. What you get is ten fold the cost!

    Fantastic job, car came out looking brand new on the inside and outside! I thought it couldn't be done -- opened the hood one day to a huge rodent's nest in the engine bay and contamination all over. I reached out to Paul because he's one of the only shops in SF that advertises rodent jobs upfront. As soon as we started talking I knew I was in good hands. Paul is a very experienced expert and knows all the ins and outs of dealing with rodents, mold, and other similar issues. His team also did a fantastic job with the detailing. My back bumper was cracked along with other damages and all the parts are just like brand new now.

    "Huge shoutout to Paul! My 4Runner got beat up by some snow chains during a Truckee trip, and Paul saved the day. His quote was honest and reasonable, and he had me back on the road in no time. He's incredibly knowledgeable and gives it to you straight--no fluff, just updates and great work. Don't let the mixed reviews or his high-speed personality fool you; he's a good guy who truly cares about the quality of his work. Highly recommended!" I find his ADHD endearing. Expect to have a solid conversation.

I dropped my car off on a Thursday morning for a preliminary inspection and was told it would take about 2-3 days to repair a damaged bumper. I was able to bring it back the following Monday morning for repair. The process was super straight forward and they made it very easy to work with AAA. The estimate for the repair was about 1.3k, which felt reasonable considering the inspection and labor they did on the car. I got the car back 1.5 days after dropping it off and am super happy with the results. Understanding that it was just a repaint and not a major repair.

Her response to my request was prompt and the assessment of the final outcome was very transparent and honest. I also thought her pricing was very fair and reasonable.
