Hi,

any recommendation on detailing shop in the Bay Area? Preferably in Fremont region...

Looking to have the swirl marks buff out and new shining layer of wax applied once the storm is gone.

PS, need to not to cost an arm and a leg...

Thanks,

Jay

Not as local to Fremont as you may have wanted, but AJ Auto Detailing in San Jose does very good work and is a favorite of many of our NorCal members.

AJ's a great place. I get my car washed by them. But last year I had my car detailed by member M Kube and I think the result was awesome. He's in Union City so a bit north of you. Check out this thread where he detailed the work on my car: https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showto...t=0&start=0

His name is Tyler and you can call him at 510-366-0200. He's relatively young but does really good work.

I lived in San Fran for 8 years. I was referred to this place and they did an amazing job. If you want true paint perfection, these guys are the best in the Bay Area. The owner is considered one of the top detailers in the country. Some of his proprietary products are considered some of the best in the industry. He's not cheap, but your car will look better than it was when it was new.

Deep Reflections just opened in Los Gatos ( http://www.deepreflectionsdetailers.com/ ). I've been buying Zaino and Microfiber towels from Steve (owner of Deep Reflections) for many years and can vouch for his superior quality and service. He's helped me with my BMWs and with the Show Qualify finish on my Superformance Cobra. He's running some great specials, so check him out!

Thanks,
Randy...

I've actually bought some Zaino stuff from these guys in the past via their San Jose Zaino store (www.sjzaino.com) - I had no idea they had opened up a detailing shop. May well give them a try!

Went to AJs to get a simple handwash and was very satisfied with their work.
