Default Mobile Detailer - SF Bay Area

folks,

any recommendations for a mobile detailer in the SF Bay Area that has experience with 911s/GT3s and also experience with caring for clear paint protection films?

weekdays are nuts for me, and weekends are scarce for time, so i'm looking for someone who could come to me.

thanks!

Mooty can likely help you out on this. i met someone through him that does this, but the biz card is at my house.

Diamond Car Care Systems is mobile within reason. They've worked on my cars at my house and I know they travel all around the Bay Area. They're on the web. Two guys that work out of Auto Vino in RWC most of the time I believe. Been around for a long time. Not cheap, but they've done a good job for me. Have no idea if they have much experience with films though. I know they work on a lot of Concours cars, as well as a bunch of supercars.

Immaculate Reflections in Brentwood will also pick up and deliver for a fee I believe.

They did my GT4 after delivery from dealer and also referred me to film installer who used a "pre-cut" kit to film my car. Welcome check out their work.......

Thanks everyone! Going to try to reach out to Diamond Car Care to see if they can get me on their schedule!

I tried reaching out to Diamond Car Care several times, but no response via phone or email.

I ended up using a place called Auto Detail Factory based out of Redwood City. They were mobile and came at the recommendation of some F-Chat folks. I was very happy with the results as well as the pricing.

They did both the GT3 and Range Rover in about 4-5 hrs.

Thought I'd pass on the word since I was pretty happy with the outcome.

I am not associated with these guys, just passing on a recommendation.

What did Auto Detail do and what did they charge?

Surprised Keith from Diamond didn't get back to you, but I believe they've been swamped lately. They had a 3-4 week backlog last time I spoke to him back in mid September.
