    It was really easy to make a appointment over the phone. I dropped off our Ford Escape this morning and the car was available before 3pm. The car looked even better than when we picked it up from SF Ford. Ryan from "The Auto Spa" received my car @ 9am and assured me it would look awesome. And it did! Nice guys there. Decent hours M-F 7am-6:30pm, Sat 9am-4pm. If I ever plan to sell this car, I'll definitely get it detailed here before putting it on the market (carpets shampoo, seats slippery clean, dash, console, and steering wheel - clean enough to eat off of). I have two more Yelp deals and two more cars to bring back to the Auto Spa! 5 star experience!

    *** Please read all the way through. Do not go here. Got a half ass car wash and clay bar treatment at best. I know what it feels like when you take the time to clay bar/polish/seal automotive paint and that did not happen with my car as promised. Car was not vacuumed, wheels still dirty and the windows look like someone wiped them with a wet cloth and let it dry under a dust storm. You can't see before you leave because it's so dark in there and the cars are packed so I couldn't even open the trunk. They also call you at the last minute and expect you to get through SF traffic within 20-30 min. There are also some blemishes on my car that were not there before. Another Person was in there and having some serious issues with scratches they made on his car as well. ****update**** I changed my Rating because Nader reached out and wanted to make up for an experience he did not feel was accurate of the Business. He responded quickly for the most part even when I did not. He set up a time for me to come in and get what I paid for and some "extra services ." When I got the car back this time the paint looked great. So the Auto Spa can make your car look great. The change that the review is mostly influenced by Nader's actions in wanting his customers to receive a certain level of service and doing his part to follow up on that.

    My friend Robyn had recommended these guys. I wasn't sure of them other than her recommendation. With that in mind... The team at Auto Spa are fantastic. This is my second time around with these guys for a different car -- my 1965 Mustang -- and they are just truly sincere, dedicated, hard working people who understand not just the quality of work matters but so does customer service. They are honest to a fault and address any and all concerns one might have to ensure that the finished product meets approval. A recent restoration project even though I've had the car since I was 16... these guys did an amazing job and had everything well beyond expectations and ready at 5 pm on the dot as they list on their website. The shop is conveniently located in SOMA. I highly recommend these guys. And although services at any level are value priced -- do the full package whenever you can as it really does restore your car to a "brand new" feel both interior and exterior. These guys are the only people in SF that I like taking my cars to. And if that isn't a high level of praise, well I don't know what else to say.

    Even the has pump area is clean! Wow.

    My car literally looks NEW when it's actually 16 years old. I bought my car second hand and had only took him thru the car wash. After the Auto Spa, he is a fresh color of silver that I've never seen. After pumping gas for the first since the detail and seeing that they even cleaned the gas tank pump area, I had to write this review. Great service! No complaints. :) Thanks Auto Spa!

    Excellent work by The Auto Spa!

    Picture a black Tahoe and from afar it looks like someone unleashed hell on the paint - did someone key that thing - and then you get close and realize, it's just REALLY REALLY BAD swirl marks and halos.. I brought my Tahoe to Nader and his crew, they did an EXCELLENT job! I never thought that it would be possible to get all the swirl marks out of my paint..Sure, I'm guilty of running through the occasional car wash when i'm too lazy to hand wash it, and because of this the paint took a beating. I dropped off my truck at 7:30am and it was ready by 3:15pm, when i showed u to pick up my truck they were just wrapping up. Nader walked me over to the truck and had me feel the paint - whoa that thing was smooth as silk. He then explained to me what they had done and took his time to show me how good the paint looked. I couldn't believe that all the swirl marks and halos were gone!! It was actually Black and the paint looked better than new. These guys know what they're doing and the quality speaks for itself. Black cars are hard to maintain and you would never know that my Tahoe once looked as if someone keyed it from far away.. If you have a car that is need of a good detail then this place is a MUST! I can't stop looking at the paint, It's like i have a brand new car!! Thanks again Nader, you guys are GREAT and I'll definitely be back!!

    Auto Spa and I got off to a rough start... I was told to have my car there at 7:00AM on Monday Morning. No problem. I pull up at 6:55AM and I wait for them to open. And I wait some more.. and some more 7:10AM and I call, and call... and call. So I wait. 7:15... 7:20 someone starts to walk up the street as I am learning on the door to there garage clearly annoyed and cold. He starts to explain why he is late but I think he quickly realizes I don't care, it's not my problem. After signing some paperwork and explaining exactly what I was looking for in terms of the interior detail I am assured it can be done. Not having anyway to get back home to Colma I planned to park it at a cafe and read ALL day long and I did just that.. 4:30PM rolls around and I get a call saying that they thought someone had called me already and my car has been ready.. ok that is mildly annoying and at this point I was concerned with how good of a job they may or may not have done. After walking in I was shown directly to my car, they had washed the outside and even buffed out some scrapes, I didn't ask for that.. nice save.. When I opened the door, I was stunned. It was SPOTLESS... truly amazing. The inside of my 2002, dirty, dusty, grimy dog hair infested car looked brand new and my seats were almost a different colour. I was impressed and they clearly rectified there mistake of being late AND not keeping track of who called me. Yes, I would totally come back here for any type of service on my car. Thanks Guys

    BabyBenz was immaculate after getting a full detail at the Auto Spa

    My car was brought in for a full detail because I noticed black grease spots stuck on the back bumper after the last big rainstorm in the Bay Area. It may have been from all the dirt and debris on the highways that were kicked up. I knew the job would require a bit of elbow grease....so it was better for a professional to try to tackle it, rather than I try. A few hours later, when I received my car back, it was immaculate! Not only did they tend to the inside & outside of the car, they also cleaned under the hood as well. I glided my hand over the car and it was smoother than a baby's bottom. I was thoroughly impressed! The Auto Spa did a fantastic job and I would recommend their services without hesitation!

    See all

If you're…read morelooking for something more than just a business that will deal with you, but more like a family or friend that takes care of you and will hook you up specially treating you like it's personal, this place is what you want! I had a minor incident that left considerable scratches, markings, and a small dent or two on my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander (not white). I dropped by just to get an estimate, and even though I didn't make an appointment, Elias was cool & considerate enough to still take me and checked it out. Where one collision repair shop in Fruitvale estimated $1800 (to take the whole panel off and work it), and another in Hayward estimated over $500, Elias hooked me up with the MOST unbelievable subtracting discount! I think & imagine I would only see something reserved to be offered in that degree given to a business owners' personal family or friends! To add to the exceptional, he and his guy offered to take care of me right there and then even though it was the late in the day (and it's not like I didn't see other cars being worked on too). I waited with him in his office, and we were just shooting the breeze. Elias is just the coolest, chillest, most laid back, most personable guy. A guy that's eager to do you a favor, do what he can for you; completely why you can see how I described him/them as an establishment/person that will treat & take care of you like a family or friend. And if you are big dog lover like I am, there's a bonus with his office/business, and I loved hanging out with him and his dog (I think his name was Jake). That dog is just a big teddy bear that just wants your attention and to play with you. In the end, for what he offered to do it for and considering it was just what they were able to fit in late in the day, I would say it got back to 98% there (so much so I even offered to give more $, which he wouldn't take [would only accept this Yelp review and pets to the dog]). To the extent that when I very apprehensively/fearfully showed it to my very scrutinizing-type wife, she accepted it and even took to it without having me take it back and get any more work done (to complete it by the last 2 percent; get it to the full 100%)! This goes to show that this place is as surprisingly impressive and proficient as I was surprised by my very scrutinizing wife's acceptance & approval. Couple notes about this place -- try not to park in the back, they do work there with cars coming in & out (it's not just for temporarily placing cars like I thought haha); just park in front of the garage opening (he prefers it right outside his office to see what has to be done). Also, as mentioned before, it's best to make an appointment even for an estimate. Elias (and Jake[?]) and his guy (I really wish I got his name; because I highly doubt I would've gotten such an awesome outcome if he wasn't willing as well) are the best! I can't imagine finding a cooler, most considerate guy in this. He/They did it with such quality work (look at my other estimates & what it would take) where I'm off the hook with my rather scrutinizing wife, and he/they did me the hugest favor with what he/they offered to do it for (that I imagine like only reserved for family or friends), I'm sure he'd treat & do the same for you or anybody.

As you can imagine, paying out of pocket wasn't cheap. Vini took the time to sit down with me and go through the parts list, helping me find ways to keep the cost down without cutting corners. He has a great eye for detail and was always upfront and transparent about the work that needed to be done. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing things the right way. Another thing I really appreciated was that I never felt rushed. They took the time to answer my questions, and anytime I sent a text, I got a quick response back. I can see this business being successful for a long time, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and honest people.

The paint job is seamless and the car looks gorgeous again. They also caught a few structural issues and that also was handled by them. The lowest bid I got was over $6,000.00 and went as high as $12,000.00. They did it for thousands$$$ less. But the beauty of it is their workmanship, they really know their craft.
