Question Detailer recommendation in Los Angeles/Hollywood?

It seems the vast majority of detailers I see on the forum are way down south like Orange County or close to. Anyone have a spot they really like in LA (east or west), Hollywood, or the Valley?

You're the second person to say that. Yelp lists them as closed but I'll try calling them.

Bucket,
Did you take your car to those guys at International Detail? I too had heard that they do a good job but with a black car I want to be sure they actually are. Any feedback about them?

No I left them a voicemail but never heard anything back. Still on the hunt as I just took the car out of storage.

I am extremely particular and Burles Cooks Jr. from Elite and Exotic is hands down the best. He is cordial and does beautiful work. I recently introduced him to fellow P-car and F-car owner..He was extremely pleased.

His base is in Monrovia (next to Pasadena), but has a well appointed van to accommodate mobile requests.

Let him know Andrew sent you over. His phone is 323-975-7926.

I can recommend Private Collection Auto Care. Daniel and his team are amazing at what they do. My black 2018 911 GTS was never so shinny!

For international detail, try texting Freddy at 310-666-8542. His shop is at the 405 / santa monica blvd. They are definitely still open, and while they are always busy, he is reasonably priced and does good work.

Alternatively, try Joe at Superior Shine. 626-964-0808 or joe@superiorshine.com. He is mobile. Great guy and super reliable. He can do paint correction, nano coating etc. He preps my cars at delivery and I use him a few times a year for maintenance details

Default Freddy detail?

So you have had great experiences with Freddy? How long have you had detailing with his group?

Thanks

Default Still looking

I’ve tried the above recommendations repeatedly, no response. Anyone else have ideas? I’m in West LA but willing to trek down to South Bay or even OC. The gt4 is filthy!

If you want a brick and mortar spot, Lavaggio is as good as a "car wash" gets. I don't consider them a high end detailer but a high end car wash.
Around where I am in Pasadena, it seems a ton of people recommend Superior Shine though.
I plan to use Superior Shine over Lavaggio but I have used Lavaggio for post track details or just semi annual details.
I usually just get the ultimate package. Also, they have a black Friday sale where they offer gift cards at 40% off, which takes the sting out of a $500 car wash.
I am generally happy with their work but I am leaning more towards proper detailers that can do a bit more with a bit more specialized/personal attention.
