Paul's Mobile Detailing

Jan 16, 2025

Needed a last minute cleaning for my rental car company and Paul came through. Convenient location too by Bayshore Blvd

My experience with Paul and company was positive and honest. I’m a college student and Paul was able to work something out with me that was within my budget. I wanted to get my girlfriends car cleaned because our cat had an accident and they were able to get all of the foul smells out. When I noticed an area that I wanted some more attention on, the team apologized for the misunderstanding and quickly handled the problem at my earliest convenience. This job is not easy! They’ve been in the business for years and know what they’re doing. They have super respectful employees and compensate them fairly. The found themselves a long time customer and I’ll happily spread the word.

I went in for a detail and they fixed a lot of random stuff with the auto body that just accumulated over the years. Really impressed that they knew how to do all those things. More than just a detailing place.

Paul and the team did great work with a last minute job cleaning out some throw up in the bottom of my car. It is cleaner than ever and work was completed the same day. He was communicative and friendly throughout the process

I don’t leave bad reviews but I’m pretty dissatisfied with the service I received. They basically charged me 800.00 for a dog hair removal. My interior was clean in the end, but they skipped right over the headliner and front / rear windshields, they got oily armor all spray all over them which I had to wipe off. They said they’d wax my truck, and remove scratches, polish wheels. I didn’t notice until I got it in some bright sunlight that it wasn’t buffed or waxed, just washed. After a few, the oily coating and tireshine on my wheels wore off and I could see all the brake dust again. They didn’t do what we agreed on for the detail price of 800.00.

My car no longer smells like rotten milk and mold and for that I'm incredibly grateful. Paul and Aldo were also quite friendly and communicative as well as patient while we dealt with insurance.

Paul saved our car. A couple of weeks ago, we noticed a musty smell. We thought it was something in the trunk, so we cleaned it out and found mold in the trunk board. We figured that would solve it, but the smell kept getting worse. We called Paul, and right away, before charging us, he suspected we needed a deep clean. Sure enough, at his shop, he found mold everywhere under the carpets and rust on the metal frame from water intrusion we didn't even know about. Paul explained how to fix it and what to tell the insurance. He even sent us photos of every mold and rust spot to make our claim stronger. When the insurance wouldn't cover it, we called Paul again. He immediately understood and worked to lower the cost—suggesting what he could clean instead of replace, and which carpets we could go without. Even with all his help, we still couldn’t afford it, so I told him we’d just take the car back and try to fix it ourselves. Paul knew we wouldn’t manage on our own, so he walked me through how to DIY it, step by step, just in case. But in the end, his conscience wouldn’t let us drive around in a moldy car. He said, “Tell you what, I’ll get rid of the mold, and you pay me what you can.” The next day, we picked up the car, and it was cleaner than ever. Paul said he'd only do the minimum, but his professionalism wouldn’t let him stop there. He detailed the interior and even cleaned the ventilation system, which would’ve been a pricey job. If you need your car cleaned, demolded, or whatever—go to Paul. He’ll make sure the job is done right. And make sure you have comprehensive insurance; don’t make our mistake! P.S. My nose is finally clear for the first time in months!

Paul went above and beyond with my car. He not only took care of the mold but also detailed the interior and made sure everything was spotless. His attention to detail and the care he puts into his work really shows. I’m especially grateful for how understanding he was about the price and how clearly he communicated everything throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a thorough and professional job. He’s the best!

Really great customer service and fast.

I brought my car in because the driver’s door was rattling. The noise happened over bumps, when opening and closing the door, and while driving—rattle, rattle, rattle. After I explained the issue to Paul, he asked me to bring the car in. Within a couple of hours, the rattle was gone. He fixed the rattling issue. Thank you Paul

Paul's mobile detailing deserves a 6th star, this is a business contact every car owner, Uber and Lyft driver in the San Francisco Oakland region should have saved. I believe business owners who go above and beyond to care of their customers deserve extra recognition in a culture of low expectations and poor service. Paul was a Godsend in a really unpleasant situation, going out of his way AFTER HOURS to provide help no one else would. His years of professional experience meant he had the knowledge to provide excellent service but more importantly, the empathy and care to get me the help he felt I needed in the moment despite the inconvenience it put on him. This business owner cares about the job and well-being of his customers, give him a call for your service today, you won't find better service. Situation: Uber rider vomited on rear passenger seat/floorboards at 7pm Saturday night in San Francisco.

Paul's team did bodywork on my BMW X5; including removal of dents, dings, scratches new paint and clear coating. The car looks brand new. Paul is a good guy, great communicator and charges fair prices. I highly recommend him.

Quick to take care of our detail needs. Smoke removal and battery replacement.

This is my favorite shop in the city! From vintage restoration to larger vehicle cleaning, they have been incredibly kind and informative to me (just make sure to give them ample scheduling notice for larger jobs!). I'm excited to take on a vintage minibus project with them soon. Tienen especialistas en automoción que hablan inglés y español.

This place will scam you. Please read all the 1 star ⭐ Yelp reviews. He scammed me for a mold job and decided after not being able to scam my insurance that he'd do me a favor and charge me 2,200 which included theft of my belongings and incomplete or just vacuumed and wiped job after tearing my interior apart my seats weren't attached correctly or securely. I was also trying to retract my seatbelts which were completely twisted and wouldn't retract. My doors no longer work. I had a slight jam in one but now they both aren't even able to be manually opened. My van is not in the same condition in fact it's in need of more work after I took it. Also took it to a real detailer and said Max the job should've cost 500. They also asked me where nothing was done ✅. Please read the Yelp reviews that are 1 ⭐ I will be looking into perusing legal action.

I had an outstanding experience with Paul’s Mobile Auto Detailing. Paul and his team did a remarkable job removing mold from my seats and headliner, demonstrating exceptional professionalism every step of the way. The process they used was incredible—first, they meticulously assessed the extent of the mold damage, then applied a specialized cleaning solution that penetrated deeply into the fabric. After thoroughly scrubbing and sanitizing the affected areas, they used high-powered extraction equipment to ensure no residue remained. The attention to detail was impressive, and I was truly amazed by how effectively they restored my vehicle. The end result exceeded my expectations: my car looks and smells like new. I couldn’t be more satisfied and highly recommend their services.

I visited Paul's shop due to a leak in my trunk, which caused mold to grow under the spare tire. Paul claimed the mold posed a health risk and diagnosed the leak as coming from the weather trim. Before even performing the service, he asked me to leave him a 5-star review. I’m GLAD I didn’t, as he provided a 1-star service. He then tried to charge me $700 under the table to fix the leak. I kindly declined and requested only mold removal. He claimed to make minor tweaks and messaged me via text and I quote “if I hypothetically didn’t do the job right, you are covered under your insurance”—hardly comforting for a first-time customer.. I later took my car to another shop, where they discovered the leak was actually due to frame damage, not the weather trim as Paul had claimed. It became clear that Paul values taking advantage of people for money more than maintaining a happy customer. Not only did he misdiagnose the problem and try to overcharge me, but he also failed to remove the mold. The other shop even took a photo of what Paul had supposedly “completed.”

If google reviews was capable of providing companies with 0 stars I would. My morals and values are deeply rooted in honesty, trust, and respect. Paul came in with the demeanor of someone knowledgeable, but his actions quickly revealed otherwise—a typical con artist. As shown in the before-and-after photos of the “service,” he immediately began tearing out the carpet, pointing out what he claimed was harmful mold, and stressing the health risks to my family. He assured me he would deep clean everything and completely remove the mold, but that never happened, as the photos clearly show. Despite his promises, the mold remained. I should have trusted my instincts and chosen a shop capable of delivering the high-quality service Paul promised, But failed to provide. (Photo on the left is Paul’s photo of BEFORE the “service”, Photo on the right is AFTER the “service”)

Paul is amazing to work with. He is friendly and very upfront with pricing and the type of work that may be involved. Paul discovered additional dings on my car after he finished washing and asked if I wanted any of them removed prior to continuing with my detail. There were a couple of other scratches/dings throughout and Paul took the time to communicate with me each time to ensure I was aware of any additional work that needed to performed. Honest work ethic with great attention to detail -thank you again Paul!!

Paul, picked up my car did an amazing job, in replacing my front and back bumper, polished and detailed my car (no charge), fixed my brakes and oil. Could not be happier. Thank you Paul and team!

Brought my 2006 Lexus IS to Paul last week and he brought it back to life! It looks like a brand new car and I’m excited to be driving it again. Super thorough and contacted me numerous times throughout the process and sent me pictures with updates. I look forward to bringing my car to Paul again in the near future.

Jul 06, 2024

Paul and his team did a great job not only detailing the car, but getting rid of spilled paint, stains on seats, exterior scratches and even a dent on the spoiler! After the great polish, the car looks better than ever! I thought car detailers just did baseline cosmetic work, boy was I wrong! Paul and his team are thorough, fast, and friendly. I highly recommend!

Came to see Paul after a huge water intrusion with my Mercedes…it’s been nothing but professional help from him and his team….when you want things done right don’t waste time looking for a cheaper imitation!

Mar 06, 2024

Long story short, coffee spilled on my rubber mats and i didn’t think it went through to the carpet. A couple weeks later i noticed a smell getting worse and then looked under my dry floor mats and it was soaked and smelled gross. Paul identified how it had even gone below the carpet and recommended the ozone and enzyme treatment. He was really accommodating with my startup work schedule and was able to get the ridiculously rancid odor out during a recent rain storm. Thanks for the help Paul!!!

There was a storm recently which led to my car being intruded with water due to a leak. I was worried that it could start growing mold due to the fact my seats and carpets were soaked and I couldn’t dry it out properly. I found Paul, one of the only mold specialists in the Bay Area and contacted him to see what he could do. His shop is located in San Francisco and he went beyond to come down to South Bay to check out the car and see if they could work on it. Right when he came he pulled apart the seats and carpet and showed me how much water seeped in. Doing so, showed me that he has a lot of experience with working on cars with these problems because of how quickly he was able to show me. He told me that it definitely could be a problem if i didn’t get it properly inspected and worked on right away. After taking it back to his shop, he found more water intrusion and told me what the options would be regarding all the damage done on the car. This was all on the same day. Him and his team work really quick. He sent me over 50 photos of the car and all the work they had done. While figuring out what to do with my car, he was very communicative about everything and contacted me each day. I have never had a shop be as communicative as Paul. All in all, definitely a business with experience and speed.

**** 100% would not recommend **** Would have given zero stars if possible. If you want to trust a (former?) druggie with your car keys, then go on ahead. I'm a huge proponent of people trying to go down the straight and narrow and making something of their lives, but they need to perform and deliver. Unfortunately, that didn't happen in my case. In my case he came full of energy and promises, then left before even 25% of the job was completed. Actually, to be fair, he left soon after the assessment, promises & estimate, then left his lackeys to do the job. When I reached out later asking about finishing the job to satisfaction, he became irate and volatile. I understand that any job for any service entails _some_ risk; I would heartily recommend you take your chances with some other establishment. **** 100% would not recommend ****

Feb 06, 2024

Came to Paul with some clearcoat issues on a past paint job on my bumpers and he knew what the problems were right away. He went above and beyond in helping me out in getting them glossy again and for looking out for me. Very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Definitely recommend this guy he really cares about his customers

Feb 06, 2024

If you appreciate quality work, reasonable prices, and standup service; you go to Paul and his crew. Paul and his shop provides more than just service, they truly are masters of their craft. Great quality work with someone you can trust. If you want your car to be taken care of with outstanding service, take it to Paul. You and your car can have an ease of mind of of quality results.

Feb 06, 2024

My search to find a good detailing service has finally ended! Paul’s passion for his job completely reflects in his work. Paul is responsible and on top of his communication. Although, I reached out to him last minute, he was very accommodating and went out of his way to provide the best service he said he would. After getting the service by him, I now truly understand what “detailing” means. After the detailing, I have already scheduled him for maintenance services. You must try him!

Feb 06, 2024

Paul did an amazing job with my z4, he was easy to work with, high quality, and nice person as well! Will be working w him again.

Feb 06, 2024

Paul was able to meet me same day, super communicative, and offered flexible options for how to deal with my car’s nasty water damage problem, sending tons of photos of the issue once they unearthed it. He also gave me some bonus services on top of what I paid for and returned my aged car interior so much fresher. I really appreciate he and his team!

Feb 06, 2024

Paul went above and beyond restoring a car that was neglected for 7 years. Got rid of mild leaks and even had a mechanic help get the car to run again. He communicates often so im never left wondering whats going on. Im glad i found him since i dont think anyone else would even attempt to help bring my old car back to life

Feb 06, 2024

Piss poor quality work and Paul seems to like sneaking in extra charges and then blaming the customers. Tried charging me for a deep clean on my interior I didn't request and gave me "$100" discount just to sneak in a extra work to make up for the discount. Called me back demanding more money for a tip and then refused future services for me although I did not want him anywhere near my car again. He left his employee unattended and when he returned stinking of booze and marijuana start belittling his employee stating "stop working like a Mexican and work better".

Feb 06, 2024

This guy is a master. Best a customer can ask for, next level Quality and in my opinion very fair price.

Feb 06, 2024

This man is completely insane and needs help. He seems to enjoy pontificating about the way human beings should interact as opposed to taking accountability for lying and giving misinformation in his business, and then gaslighting people when they act surprised. Everything about the experience with unprofessional, and then he followed up with harassing text messages to me, therein, denying deflecting, and really being bizarre. I also noted that he is a white man who likes to refer to black men he does not know as, “Bro.” Also, he asked me to drive to him for his “mobile” service. I have no doubt this man will write some long, convoluted response, defending himself and reaction to this review, because clearly has no idea of how to respond, but simply reacts.

We got a Toyota Prius 2013. On its 10th year, Paul and Rob did an amazing job to turn it like-new! They did it super quickly under a day, and even picked up and delivered the car back to us while we are busy with babies. Highly recommend.
