My senior short haired dog has spent many, many hours in my car - it got awfully funky and my occasional vacuuming didn't really help with the smell or pick up the fine hairs. Steven is very responsible and responsive. He is a nice young man who checked in repeatedly and did what he said he would do. Honest and on time. I couldn't be happier with my "new" car. My fabric seats and carpet are CLEAN and fresh without an overpowering perfume smell. I highly recommend By the Bay Detailing.

I'll keep recommending them and keep using them.

I had a really disappointing experience with Real Bros Auto Pros…read more I scheduled an appointment to have my window tint removed and replaced. This wasn't a small inconvenience--I took a full day off work (costing me about $700), drove over an hour to get there, and spent a good amount on gas since my car gets terrible mileage. When I arrived, I spoke with Alejandro--the same person who set up my appointment. After looking at my car, he refused to do the job. What really frustrated me was his reasoning: he admitted they are not capable of installing tint without leaving dirt, dust, or debris under the film. That completely contradicts what he told me when I first booked. I specifically asked about the quality of their installs, and he assured me they had zero tolerance for dirt or debris. That's the only reason I trusted them with the appointment. So I lost a day of income, time, and travel expenses for nothing. To make matters worse, Alejandro said he would Zelle me $100 to help cover the wasted trip and inconvenience. That never happened. Bottom line: poor communication, wasted time, and broken promises. I would strongly recommend finding a shop that is upfront about their capabilities and respects your time.

They are fast, professional, thorough, detail oriented and do amazing work!! I recently had them detail a truck I've owned for 14 years that I was going to list for sale. This was a truck that lived its life like a truck. Worked, played in the dirt etc. They come to you, pick up your vehicle and drop it back off. They did such an amazing job breathing life back into it, I almost didn't recognize it and was blown away at the finished product! Not one square inch was overlooked! I highly recommend Anthony and his staff and can not say enough good things about the extreme quality and level they operate at!

I contacted Elite Auto Films to do a full body paint protective film on my new car when the dealer…read moresaid they did not do the "full body" service anymore, Elite was happy to fit me in to their schedule. The team at Elite are very friendly and highly professional, they take the time to do the job right and wrap all the edges. They did a fantastic job all the way around including correcting any minor flaws in the surfaces found as they were working on the car. Additionally their prices are very fair, their price for "full body" with ceramic coating was only about 20% more than the dealer for a "front only" and full ceramic coating.

Car came out, I was watching them wipe it down.. then they said my car was ready.. I looked inside.. nothing was vacuumed! I picked up all four of my mats and put it on the seats to show them.. management came out to check.. I'm sure he was furious too! He told me to wait again, and took my car in for a second cleaning/vacuuming.. I was on my lunch break, this was a total inconvenience and time consuming! If the job was done right the first time.. no one's time would've been wasted! The time and effort that their employees put into this sucks. My advice for the businesses: have management come out and inspect vehicle and approving it before taking customers' money/letting customers drive off the lot. So many workers, but quality of work needs improvement. This could be a management issue.

Fairly priced, fanatic attention to detail Matt is going to make sure car look showroom new. I've had him do ceramic coating on my 911, Cayenne etc to keep my beauties always looking great. I've even had him to "emergency" looks at little parking lot scratches --and amazing buffing to take out the offending lines in my paint.
