A Finer Detail & Upholstery

I am a local chiropractor and I had a specialty upholstery job for them. It was the reupholstery of my adjusting table. This job required special attention and more durable materials than most of the job they do. I also had a restricted period of time to get the job done. The job was perfect and the service was spot on. I will use them for all my car detail and all upholstery repairs from now on. Kebby Margaretich DC

New Airstream with a couch design I didn’t like. Hired someone else who was expensive and did a terrible job. Frustrated, I took it into A Finer Detail and the owner Gary Madonna did a beautiful job and under budget. It is simply gorgeous. Since then we have taken in dining room chairs and they are also perfect. Gary and his staff were always very professional and friendly. My Airstream was the hit at an Airstream convention which will now seat twelve adults for conversation. It looks fantastic. …Thanks to this very talented and honest young man.

We have a 2004 MDX that is in great condition but the front and rear seat upholstery was worn. Gary worked with us to find the perfect matching fabric along with a reasonable price to have the work done. We also had both the interior and exterior detailed. The car looks better than when it was new thanks to Gary’s attention to detail. Gary and his crew are so professional, polite, honest and they offer the best customer service. Highly recommend A Finer Detail.

This place is a joke. If you are female and bring in a vehicle for some work they will prey upon your lack of knowledge regarding cars in order to make extra money off of you. Here is my story:
I went here for an estimate and advice for my car, which has a convertible top with a plastic rear window that needed to be replaced (just the window, not the top). I was more than just a little surprised when I was told it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 800 – 900 for them to replace, and that they would have to take the top off my car to do it, and needed to keep it for several days. I asked why, since I have had this done before by another professional shop who charged only a small fraction of that price and took only a couple of hours, and definitely didn’t take the top off my car to just fix the window. The response I was given was a bunch of baffling BS jargon as to why they don’t do it that way. They almost had me suckered into a $ 200 deposit when I was told they wouldn’t have an opening to do the work for another 6 weeks. At that point I stopped writing my check and told them I didn’t wish to wait so long, especially for that kind of money!
The owner of this place should be ashamed of himself, especially since he seems to be related to the owners of «Artist Upholstery» (they all have the same last name), who gave me a much better price, didn’t ask for a deposit, and didn’t need to take my car apart just to sew in a new window piece. Do yourself a favor and don’t blow your money at «A Finer Detail».

These guys do an amazing job. Went above and beyond making my Honda CR-​V ready to sell. Looks so good, I’m having second thoughts as it looks like a brand new car! Thanks and I will return even for a quick car wash. Done with the automatic car wash place in town that charges you more for a mediocre job.

I was in search of a company who could fix my couch. Some of the buttons came off and I needed a little help with the repair. Gary Madonna from AFDU was recommended to me and I couldn’t be happier! I made my appointment for a week later and the couch was repaired fast and in my budget. I also know some folks who take their vehicles here for detailing and I have never heard one bad review. If you’re looking for an upholstery/​detail place this is it! You cannot go wrong!

I took my Honda CRV in for a interior/​exterior detailing using a «gift certificate» that was purchased from A Finer Detail. At check-​in I was told it would be an extra $ 60 to detail my car since it was «dirtier than normal» and they would not give me a refund. After I agreed to forego the exterior wax, they detailed the car but with poor results. The inside front windshield was streaked, there were dirty fingerprints on the dash board, and streaks of dired dirty water and water spots on the exterior. Not a good experience– got lots of lips service but not much else.

I haven’t been to any other upholstery shops. As long as I live in the County, though, that probably won’t change.
My Jeep has always had uncomfortable molded plastic /​marginally padded arm rests. I took the door panel apart, showed the proprietor what I was working with, and got an estimate. Made an appointment for two weeks later (this is a good sign — people who do marginal work generally don’t get booked two weeks out)
Show up, drop off the arm rests, get them back
A) Under budget
B) Ahead of schedule
C) Awesome.
The reinstall went very smoothly, the appearance is nicer than anything else inside the vehicle, the arm rests are comfy & I’m pleased as a MFer.
Thanks, AFDU!

If I could, I’d give not a single star. Went for «detail» car wash. Bad job of vacuuming or window cleaning — not as good as I could get elsewhere for $ 20 and they charged $ 40. Didn’t wipe half the door sills, etc, even though I asked them to ahead of time (dogs!).

Gary detailed my 2007 F-​150, The interior was very dirty and the outside had scratched all over from running through brush. I was amazed that his guys took the extra time to make sure the truck looked like new again at a very fair price. I own an automotive shop is Grass Valley so I know customer service when I see it and they were second to none!!!
