    Fast and and they go to the point We called The General Auto Spa to Detail and remove some Stains from our interior Rodrigo Uses top quality equipment and got the horrible Stains out and my interior Looking like new

    I sent out a request for service and within 10 minutes I was on the phone with Irving getting a detailed quote. I had two specific issues that he helped me problem-solve before I even committed to the job. Being transparent about their process, materials, and labor, made this an easy choice for me. My main reason for reaching out was to remove scratches and swirl marks on the trunk of the car, but I also needed touch up paint where there was general wear on my front bumper. Both of these tasks were completed within 2 hours. They even threw in a ceramic coating on the trunk to protect the car from similar damage. Top notch service, good communication, good value, and chill to work with. The photo I attached is the trunk of my car. They got it looking like a mirror.

    I was a bit skeptical at the beginning since they had no reviews. But I went thru their pictures and gave it a shot (there's a porsche ok they should know what they're doing right?) The pandemic got me some non paying tenant living under the car's hood so I had to get rid of the rat poop in the car...not fun. They gave me a quote in about 20mins and I got my appointment all setup. They're mobile so you don't need to bring your car in, hand em your keys and they got it done in a few hours since we have two cars. Results? They gave me a sneak peak an hour before the job was done and my engine looks brand new and the interior doesn't smell like dogs on wheels anymore, it actually smell like i just drove it off the dealership's lot. Hopefully the sneaky tenants won't come back again, but I know who I'll be calling for my next service. They even sent me the before and after pix so see it for yourself :)

    The General cleaned and conditioned the elderly convertible top!

    Rodrigo and his crew from The General Auto Spa brought their auto detail shop to my home! They were here to detail my (somewhat neglected) 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible. The car needed a good clean and detail. The exterior paint was dulled from sun exposure; with layers of ash from recent wildfires, combined with tree sap and bird poop! The interior was dull and dusty and the dashboard vinyl was dry and cracked. Rodrigo and his team went to work! Two hours later ..... I was stunned and overjoyed with the results of their work! The paint shone and gleamed - exposing beautiful green flecks in the five year old paint job. The interior appeared dewy and supple- the years of devastating sun and dry air wiped away revealing a supple interior and a rich patina! These guys provide an excellent service and tremendous value! Highly recommended by yours truly!

    What can I say about this business, I came a cross from online advertising of this auto spa, I'm very serious about all my vehicles and I want it to give it a shot, OMG my vehicle looks like it came out the showroom, after this took my car for a ride everyone can see how beautiful my car is looking, staff is super friendly and prices are very affordable for the Bay Area prices, I highly recommend the general auto spa. For now on this is the only guy that can treat my cars !!

    Perfect communication before the job, prompt arrival and spotless cleaning combine for the the best mobile detailing experience I've ever had. Showed up fully equipped and ready to go. Will definitely be inviting The General back again.

    Full detail & ceramic coating !

    I just got my Harley detailed from the Detail Gods! I called them last week looking to get an appointment for today and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. Brandon was my technician and he couldn't of done a better job. The bike looks brand new. I didn't even know it could look this clean. I also got it ceramic coated to keep the paint protected. I will most definitely be using them again. Thank you the general and thank you Brandon!

    Imagine finally able to get your dream car and then you start noticing dents and scratches that randomly appear, no matter how much you try to park far away from other cars. After having to look at all imperfections (some of them really bad sharp dents) made by clumsy and careless people that park around me, I decided I had to bring my BMW to someone I cold trust my baby with. As a first time car owner I didn't know where to go so I decided to bring my car to The General Auto Spa. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and ready to make my car look brand new again, and so they did. They told me to get the Ultimate Detail service , and so I got it putting my trust in their hands. My car looks amazing, scratches, dents and dirt damage are completely gone, one of my friends told me it would be hard to remove bumps off the natural curves of the car but these guys did it no problem. I can't imagine trying to gamble again looking for a place I can trust with my car, I will be going here from now on !

    Before and after

    I needed the interior of my car cleaned because I had food spill in the trunk and left it for like 2 weeks while I was away. It smelled terrible in there and looked bad too. Rodrigo came with another guy and cleaned my baby Bonita (my car) up like I just got her off the lot! I will definitely keep them in mind if I need anything like this done on the future! 5 stars :)

    For a basic interior & exterior plus dog hair removal the price was reasonable for us. We look forward to hiring them again.

    The General Auto Spa was very easy to communicate with and were available to come to my home! Which is such a convenience for my busy schedule. For a basic exterior wash & interior cleaning plus dog hair removal the price was reasonable for us. We look forward to hiring them again. Thank you so much Rodrigo & the team of General Auto Spa! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

    Gave the paint that mirror-like finish I was looking for!!!!!

    See all

    I've been coming here regularly since my wife's car was brand new and have left a couple of strong…read morereviews over the past few months because this place usually delivers. That's why I'm still giving 5 stars--this is about consistency and making it right. I came in around 3:15 PM today and it was busy, but the team was moving things efficiently at first. Shortly after, an attendant let me know there were equipment issues and about a 30-minute delay. Totally understandable--things happen. After about 30-35 minutes, they started moving cars again and explained they'd be doing hand washes instead of running through the system. I want to give credit--the team stayed professional, communicated well, and worked hard to keep things going. That said, for a $45 wash, the final result didn't match the usual standard I've experienced here. The photos show it best--wheels still had buildup, interior areas needed more attention, and I didn't receive the Armor All treatment that's typically included. I'm not upset--just being real. I know what this place is capable of, and that's why I keep coming back. Today just didn't hit that mark. If someone from the team could reach out so I can bring the car back in for a proper finish, I'd really appreciate it. Still a loyal customer--just looking to get this one brought up to the level I know you deliver. I will also send a note to the business through Yelp or social media to follow up. -- James Stinnett

    People! Don't ignore the bad reviews! I did and guess what?! I wasted money on a below mediocre…read moreinterior cleaning job. I only needed the inside of my car cleaned and they gave me an "off the top of their head" price- $30. I thought ok fine, I have my toddlers with me and didn't feel like driving to a self vacuum place. Well, this is the last time I EVER go there again! I had been there once before but got a more expensive package with steam cleaning on the inside so of course they did a good job because that cleaner was on it and I paid more. The problem is they have some inconsistent lazy workers that barely wipe down your car. So you pay but they don't do their job! It's the luck of the draw if you get someone good that day. I should have known better. The guy taking payment was rude and arrogant, and as I was driving away that's when I noticed so much dust on the dashboard, and many uncleaned areas inside. The only reason I didn't turn around was because I had my toddlers with me! And I'm mad I gave them a tip!! See my pictures- they didn't wipe down anything inside, didn't lift the mats, didn't clean the mats, literally the only thing I felt they did was vacuum....$30 FOR A VACUUM?!?!!!! Do yourself a favor and AVOID this place! Buy a good handheld vacuum and vacuum your car yourself and do your own wipe down, why? Because you'll end up doing it anyways after you leave this bad place! BAD QUALITY, BAD SERVICE, RIPOFF PLACE!! How it stays in business with these horrible reviews, I have no clue! Maybe it's people that enjoy throwing money away as apparently I did today! Fool me once...and that's it! Not going back!!
