Best Detail

Great service! My very dirty car is now beautifully clean. I highly recommend Jose and this business. Very easy to book and the work was done right in time. Lastly, it was a good price.

Thank you so much to Jose! I called last minute to have the boot of my RAV4 deep cleaned after a punctured water bottle caused mold to grow on the carpet. He told me how much it would cost and how long it would take — he even took my toddler’s nap into account! My daughter and I walked to a local park and went out to lunch and by the time we got back the job was done! The carpet was completely dry and no sign of mold. He had even removed the carpet to take a look at the undercarriage and make sure there wasn’t any damage there. I’ve been taken advantage of by car professionals in the past so Jose’s friendly nature and professionalism were refreshing. I will recommend you to anyone who asks, Jose! Thanks, again!

Unbelievable. My car had scratches on the side door that a detail shop in SF were unable to improve on. Jose was not optimistic about what his guys could do because the scratches had penetrated the paint. I also had a bag of mushrooms roll out of a bag of groceries under my driver seat, liquify and seep into the carpet under the seat. The stench was unbearable. And a smoothie spilled all over the passenger seat and baked in the sun for several months until I got to Best Detail. Jose did not judge me at all.
8 hours later, the scratches are barely visible. The car smells great. The seat looks like new. Everyone was communicative and kind. It was worth every penny, even for a unassuming Prius V. He is just a block behind the Oakland YMCA on Broadway in Uptown. If you ride BART (7 minute walk from 19^th street) or AC Transit or the B Shuttle, it’s convenient.

I recently brought in a black BMW X6 for detail/​waxing. The car had a light haze on the hood most likely from a previous detailer who burned the paint with a car polisher. There were also some scratches on the back bumper. Jose was able to get rid of the haze as well as most of the scratches from the bumper. The car looked as good as news. I would certainly go back.

I give Best Detail my highest recommendation. They did a perfect job on our Acura RDX, and they did it on our timeline. I left with a car that looked like new. I couldn’t be happier. Jose is friendly, professional, intelligent and driven to provide excellent service. Thank you Jose and Best Detail!

Five years ago I gave this business a 5 star review (different car). Now the price of interior detailing equaled the old price for both interior and exterior — a heft $ 155.
Jose was attentive while I was there, however, upon driving home (I live in Crockett so came a long way for this service).I noticed several areas that went unattended and that the passenger seat was still slightly stained.
When I called with dismay, Jose asked me to bring it back which I did. He took care of the seat and the neglected areas and told me that if I found anything else unsatisfactory, to bring it back. I appreciate that however, the cost in time, gas and energy also come into the equation.
My hope is that Jose and his team will UP the standards for the first visit to the excellence they once displayed.

I work directly across the street, though I would try them since all I see in there are high end cars.
He gives you the royal treatment. He takes him time checking you out. He even noticed a new scratch on my ride boo hoo!
The car was cleaned inside and out, very impressed!
I even received a card in the mail.
Best Detail for sure!!!

I have used Jose’s service (Best Detail) for many years. He personally supervises and is hands on with pride in his work. He understands what car detailing really is about. Many of the quick car washes we all get sometimes at other places, can actually coat our cars with unsatisfactory coatings. He removes all these and builds up the protective surfaces from bottom up. This is not only what keeps the car looking good but protects the paint job from ultraviolet deterioration. It is difficult to find people that do it right these days. These guys do and I recommend them. I am a builder and know what stages and processes it takes to protect these surfaces. You will get your money’s worth. I am not getting a discount for this and appreciate his commitment to excellence. By the way, you may notice brand new cars in the $ 100,000 plus range in his shop regularly together with my 2006 Toyota Tundra and ’98 Volvo wagon. If you want an excellent detail he is your guy.

2 says after purchasing our new car my dog decided to eat something disgusting (still a mystery) and throw it up on the front passenger cloth seat. The smell was absolutely terrifying (akin to fertilizer). Obviously, I was devastated and on my own tried clean, neutralize and cover it up without any luck. Driving my brand new car was depressing and sometimes, especially in the heat, down right intolerable!
I took it to Jose @ Best Detail and hoped for the best, trying to be optimistic. They took the car all day and when we got it back the smell was virtually gone. Jose mentioned they will retreat at no cost if we still smell anything. A few days later when it was really hot outside I noticed it was still a tiny bit stinky. I called Jose and he was so nice and helpful, never once did he seem to be put out to do it again. After taking the car in a second time the smell is now completely gone. I am so happy and couldn’t recommend Best Detail more! They will do whatever it takes to make you satisfied.

Pen exploded in my back pocket, entire contents leaked thru my pants onto upholstery of my brand spanking new Mustang. Found Best Detail, Inc. on the web, close to my work, so I stopped by and was helped by Jose the owner. What a wonderful person! He got the ink out in 5 mins with solvent, wiped a giant goose shit off of my roof, and refused to accept payment. Well, all I can say is… You, sir, have earned a customer for life. Thank you so much!

Jose has detailed my car several times and made it look like new.
He is a sincere, honest, and trustworthy business person.
One rare trait seen in business today is a true «thank you». Jose takes the time write a you a personal «thank you for your business» type card in the holiday season. It’s nice to work with a business with the values of the past (excellent work, integrity and a thank you) which are so rare in business today.

This place is amazing. Super service, amazing quality, honest, fair and good prices too! I can’t recommend this place enough.
I’ve sent many friends here and they all come back happy.

Jose and team did a fantastic job on my car and their customer service is top-​notch. They even sent me a thank you note after the job was done. 5+ stars.

They were fairly priced, professional, and quick. They buffed out some scratches and paint swirls, et cetera. My car looks new again. There’s nothing else you could want from a detailer.

Jose, the owner was great. We took our old minivan for a full detailing. He made it look better than it has in years. The exterior was clean and felt smooth and glossy. Inside was clean and stains were gone. He said if we saw anything later that we weren’t happy with we could bring it back. I really liked this guy and thought he did a great job and it felt friendly and trustworthy. I will definitely go back for car washing and detailing in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Best Detail. Jose took great care of me from the moment I called to make the appointment. My car wasn’t filthy, but I’ve never had covered parking and it was full of leaves under the hood and had little dots of sap. I told him I was selling it to a dealership. When he said he’d make it ready to go on the showroom floor– engine included– he was right! It’s so pretty I almost hate to sell it now! The biggest validation was that the dealership commented on how good it looks and offered me a great price. Thank you Jose and Best Detail!

Best Detail’s customer service is as good as it gets. Dropping my car off was easy — they were ready for me right when I drove up at my appointment time. I reviewed with Jose what I needed done — basically I only wanted three of my four Honda Element seats deep-​cleaned, because I was on a tight budget and I never spill in the driver’s seat anyway. He didn’t try to upsell me or talk me into getting more than that, and he gave me a very fair quote.
When I returned to pick up my car, the interior looked great — good as new. I had some dog-​related stink on my back seats and Jose said that if I noticed that they still smelled bad once the weather warms up, I can come back and they’ll deodorize them again for no extra charge. Awesome!
But the best part? They’d also removed a long black smear on the exterior from when someone had side-​swiped my car while it was parked on my street several months ago. No charge for that — they just did it to be nice. Totally made my day! Jose is friendly and runs a great business with top-​rate service. Five happy stars!

Just picked up my porsche from Jose and team on 02÷28÷13. It wasn’t that bad to start with, but certainly needed a buff job to take out the swirls that were a result of me trying to buff it at home. I suggest you leave it to the professionals unless you know what you’re doing, which I didn’t.
Anyway, Best Auto Detailing were courtious, prompt, and did a great job making my baby look great again. I didn’t get the interior done, just the exterior, but they vacummed the inside and cleaned the window inside and out. The price was right for me, cheaper than their competitors by about $ 40. She shines now like she did when I bought her. Great job guys.

It’s interesting to read some of the other reviews on here, my experience was totally different. Like Bill, I also wanted to sell my car so I wanted to get it washed and interior cleaned. We pulled up and the guy was sitting down not doing anything but got up and came over and took one look at the car and told us he didn’t have time to do it. We asked if we could come back at another time, he said «probably not.» So we went to MacArthur Carwash and paid 20 bucks for an awesome wash and clean of interior including trunk, so worth it! Actually glad best detail turned us away, so we saved 230 bucks it looks like according to the other reviews. My recomendation is stay away from this place bc they clearly don’t want you’re business

I’m one of those people who doesn’t really believe in washing cars (it will just get dirty again, right?). I can count the number of car washes I’ve gotten in the past 6 years on one hand. My car has been to Burning Man and back 3 times, without being particularly well cleaned, well, ever. So to say it was dirty is an understatement. But now I want to sell the car, so it was time for a cleaning.
Despite how filthy my car was, Best Detail did an amazing job! My car is now the cleanest it’s been since I’ve owned it, and ready to sell.
A little pricy ($ 300 for full interior and exterior detail), but I think it was worth it.
