Testimonials

Thanks to Yelp for directing me to this place. I have a 2001 Corolla which I have considered exchanging for a  finer set of wheels many times. However, my steed has served us well and loyally over the past many years.  So I decided to get it some floss and polish instead.
Detail Addict did everything I was looking for in terms of getting my car interiors looking spiffy again, all at a reasonable price! They even got rid of the ugly black spots that were an eyesore.
The lady who helped me explained the work that had to be done and my options clearly, and at the end of the day I walked away knowing exactly what I wanted. It took a day for them to pretty up my car and the next day when I came to pick it up, it was waiting, all cleaned up.
I would recommend this place highly to anyone looking to get vehicle detailing done.

- Meghna S.  from Sunnyvale, Ca

It's kinda hard for somebody like me to give love to my car without a part of me feeling like a total douchebag, so I delegate that awful responsibility to DetailAddicts.  I'm confused like that.

When a job takes as long as you would have taken doing it by yourself, you know you are getting high quality work.  I cannot say enough good things.  It's hard these days to find people who really care about their craft.

-Yen P.  from Berkeley, Ca

I am picky about my car and I will say that Detail Addict exceeded my expectations. Not only did they do a great job but both prior and post detailing they took plenty of time to make sure I was getting the right package and was pleased with the results. I will be back.

- Bill W.  from Santa Clara, Ca

 I almost did not recognize my car when they were finished cleaning and detailing the exterior and interior.  Since my car was mostly parked outside, they used a special clay to remove the fine particles that accumulate over time and can't be cleaned by a regular wash.  The finished product was like new - shiny clean and smooth as silk.  Sadly, I sold the car immediately afterward and could not enjoy my 'new' car, but without Detail Addict, I'm sure I could not have sold it so fast and at the price I wanted.

- Richard W.  from Santa Clara, Ca

I've been to several detail shops in the Bay Area and these guys are the best.  Everyone there is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They checked the thickness of the clear coat so not to remove too much.  Then they started the detail and were able to remove the swirls and haze from my paint so it looks better than new.  Detail Addict will be the only detail shop I go to from now on.

- DW from Newark, Ca

My situation with my car's detail was a hectic/complicated one.

I live over 1 hour away from Detail Addict's location. I have an appointment setup with Premier on Tuesday AM for a clear bra/satin guard. I haven't washed my car since it was purchased (2 months ago) and it was filthy. I wanted a clean slate/car for Premier to work on. My regular detail guy could not make the scheduled appointment we had setup prior for my Premier clear bra install. With my E92 being Jet Black and having the so called "Soft black BMW paint"...i didn't want to ruin the car's finish with me doing the 1st wash..

so I Pm'd Nick@DetailAddict sunday late night or monday 1:30am (lol) asking for a detail appointment for their "Silver Package" anytime for Monday. I ask him if it was possible to get seen on such short notice. Nick calls me at 7:30am and says they can schedule me as their last customer but will have to drop my car off at 3pm and would have to possibly wait till 7pm to maybe 8pm. I surely take their offer and made the drive considering all the positive things I've heard about them and with no one else willing to take my appointment request on such short notice.

Once their, right off the bat, they let me know that it's gonna be a long wait for me due to the prior customer there requesting to do another type of detail service for his car. I said, "Sure no problem. Thanks for the heads up." While there, Treu (spelling?) lets me know that she can drop me off at a strip mall with a movie theater to kill some time and even offered to pick me back up later that evening at 8pm.That was much appreciated.

Considering that it was now 8pm and Premier being closed, I could not drop my car off at Premier. I thought I was forced to drive back to Green Valley from Santa Clara or maybe even leave my car in Premier's parking lot overnight. Now, Leo steps in and says, "I hate for you to waste a just completed detail and leave your car in a lot overnight. Why don't you leave your car here in our shop and just pick it up tomorrow and drop it off at Premier in the morning?" Leo offered this option after he was concerned how I was going to get home IF I didn't drive my car back. (I eventually took BART to Walnut Creek where my wife picked me up)

it was a long day but the staff at Detail Addict more than made up for it.

Their Customer service was through the roof. I couldn't believe it because we all know that today's society, customer service is just not a priority to alot of businesses.

From squeezing me in their tight schedule and understanding what I had planned for the car, to dropping and picking me up at the movie theater to offering to keep my car in their garage bay overnight and letting me pick it up in the morning...everything is much appreciated.

I just wanted to share this with anyone in the Bay Area looking for a detailer. I didn't even bother talking about the detail job on my M3 because the customer service was all I cared for. But the M3 detail was top notch also.

- Herson E. from Fairfield, Ca



Thanks again! Leo, I'm STILL bugging out over those 3 rock chips- I shouldn't have looked!! lolI took my beloved Mark1 Miata to Detail Addict after some neighbor kids vandalized the trunk lid by smearing some really sticky gunk on it. I was afraid it would need a repaint, but Leo was able to remove it and did a great job on the entire exterior. His price was quite competitive with other shops I investigated and he was sensitive to my price point and didn't try to "up-sell" me on a detailing package that I didn't really need. Great work, great attention to detail, and great attitude. Highly recommend!

- Kennan R. from Santa Clara, Ca

 

Detailed my sister's Honda Civic today and the car looks new again :) Thanks for the awesome products Detail Addict. They are easy to use and best of all.. THEY WORK! 

-Dan A. from Fremont, Ca

 

Leo, wanted to thank you again for the great detail and teaching me the details on proper car washing, maintenance, etc. 

-Boswell H. from San Jose, Ca

 

Just had my Z detailed here and it looks better than it did when I picked it up from the factory. I had the silver level service done and their cost was very reasonable. Leo also went over paint maintenance and things I was doing wrong while washing the car. Very helpful and knowledgeable people. I would absolutely recommend Detail Addict to anyone looking to improve their paint quality. 5*
 

-Shaba A. from El Dorado Hills, Ca

Dropped my car off for an engine bay clean. Went to coffee lunch for about an hour or so. When I came back, Leo was doing the finishing touches on my engine. All I can say was wow. I have 170K on that engine. Yet when I set eyes on it, it was like it had 0 miles on it. Fresh form the new car lot. Displayed my car at a car show. Mind you my engine bay does not have a whole lot of bling, yet the judge was impressed at how clean it looked. Props to you Leo. Awesome job. Will definitely come back for repeated services.
 

-Rod O. from Daly City, Ca

All I have to say is.. phenomenal service here.

I made an appointment to drop of my car next day to have the winter package applied to my cars exterior, and have the interior protected with something with spf. While dropping it off I asked about a good place to get tint done. Leo said that they have a shop that could do it around the corner, and he could get it done for me right after the detail. They had the car most of the day and had it ready right when they said they would, that evening.

When I picked it up, Leo let me go over the car to make sure I approved of the work. Seriously, the car looked so good I thought it was edible. I saw some swirls in the windows and Leo explained that was from the adhesive for the tint, and needed to dry over a couple days. A couple days went by and the swirl marks weren't going away, so I called Leo to ask about it. He said he'd be happy to work with me to resolve it, even if it meant going back to the tint shop, since the shop gives a lifetime warranty on the tint. I said I'd wait a couple more days to see what happened.

Now after leaving my car out in the sun, the marks were still there. I was beginning to worry that I had received a sloppy tint job, but I was going to wait it out. A couple days after telling Leo I'd wait it out, *Leo* called *me* to see how the tint was looking. That is phenomenal.. he knew I was concerned and he wanted to make sure I was taken care of so he followed up with me. I thought that was so cool.

Anyway, I was embarrassed when I found out the swirls were not the tint adhesive between the tint and window... they were just dirt on the outside of the tint from the application process. I didn't have any cleaner that was tint-safe, so Leo offered to clean all the windows for me if I brought the car by. He took care of it immediately and didn't even charge for it. Awesome.

Leo was very knowledgeable and helpful all throughout. He's the kind of guy who is going to stay late at work if he needs to in order to make sure the job is done right. I will definitely be going back.

Fad a stupid cat fall asleep on the hood of my black sapphire car and scratch the crap out of my hood. brought it over to Detail Addict in Fremont and checked out by Leo. Not only is he a great guy, but he has an amazing staff and excellent prices! while he wasnt able to get all the scratches out of the car, he did the best he could and you couldnt ask for any better than wet sanding the damn thing to get the really deep scratches out. all in all, excellent job. two thumbs up!

-Mark S. AKA MSimeon from e90post.com

Review: First off, let me say I’ve never seen my car shine, not even a little bit. Based on the above maintenance schedule, it’s pretty easy to figure out why. When I dropped the car off I think Leo was having second thoughts. However, he was pretty diligent in the face of overwhelming adversity and it really shows. “WOW” was my first word and it was something I kept saying as I drove it home. This car GLEAMED. This car SPARKLED.

Leo’s before and after pictures really tell the difference. Look at the pictures of the dull reflection from the before and the amazing mirror qualities after. All sides displayed this characteristic of brightness, shine, and reflective aspect. I think the only part that I wasn’t overwhelmed by was the tire hubs, which only looked like they changed color. However, as I mention above, the hubs may be beyond hope by all the mass and corrosion that has accumulated on them.

Inside, Leo did a fantastic job of cleaning and vacuuming the carpets. I could not find a trace of dust anywhere and there are years of dust on some parts of the dash. The vents are spotless. All the crevices and storage holders are immaculate. To top it off, the scent used to clean the car is not cloying or overwhelming. The scent is still noticeable though mild and pleasant. It definitely made the morning commute nicer and I caught myself looking around my car at almost every stoplight; amazed by the huge difference in the appearance of my vehicle.

This was seriously an outstanding job and has shown me the value in automobile detailing. Excellent work, Leo.

-Ervin D. from San Jose, CA

Review: My car is almost 9 years old now, and though it spends most of its time in a garage nowadays, it’s seen some 70,000 miles all along the west coast and has the wear and tear to show for it.  I had written off the damage and was planning to eventually get a full paint job and new headlights to bring the shine back, but Leo’s incredible detailing has given my baby new life.  The car has literally not been this shiny since the day I bought it.  The black has such a deep shine that it actually gleams in the dark, catching any stray available light.  All the faint swirl marks in the paint from years of washing are gone, and all that’s left is a beautiful car show finish.

I was most impressed with Leo’s ability to restore oxidation damage and cloudy headlights.  The headlights have definitely taken the brunt of road abuse over the years, and lost all of their clarity.  After Leo restored them, they are now almost crystal clear…that service in and of itself saved me over $200 in the cost of new headlights.  Additionally, what Leo was able to do with the oxidation damage in my paint is simply stunning.  While my car was still being built, the right rear quarter panel had been damaged and rebuilt before it left the assembly line.  It looked fine when the car was brand new, but after only a couple years under the California sun, the damage manifested itself in a quarter panel that had started to fade really badly compared to the rest of the car.  I thought that it was beyond repair, especially after numerous detail jobs by the dealer failed to improve the condition.  I couldn’t believe my eyes when Leo returned my car with that quarter panel looking as new as the day I bought it, matching the rest of the paint exactly!  WOW!

I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Leo and Detail Addict.  I love my car and have spent a lot of time and money over the years trying to keep it in top condition.  I have had numerous companies wash, wax and detail the car, all of which had pretty mediocre results.  Leo is literally in a class by himself, it is as if he as able to restore the soul of the car itself.  Nobody but Leo touches my cars from now on!

-John from San Jose, CA

Leo - we spent nearly all day yesterday doing 2 of our cars and I am pretty amazed. I have been detailing cars since I was about 10 years old (no joke) and these items are better than anything I have used (inlcuding storebought products and then things like Zaino, Zymol, etc). I haven't used everything out there but this stuff is just plain crazy. On my MR2 I did the claybar, then swirl, then 2 coats or revive and 2 coats of buttery wax. I applied the revive with my orbital wheel which worked pretty well, and then did all the wax by hand. I have owned this car for 2 years and it has never looked like this. After I thought it was CLEAN the claybar made brownish ooze run off my silver paint and then I could see the couds in color on my silver hood... Sweet. Thanks for hooking us up with a great deal - it is much appreciated.

-wombatsauce from i-club.com

Yeah, Leo is the man! He just did my GF's 96 g20. The car looks, and feels brand new, if not better. Paint is shiny and smooth, interior is glossy, and clean, and the glass is so clear, I can finally see all the imperfections in the glass itself.

He also did a dry fog odor removal on my silvia, and now the 16 year funk of exhaust leaks, and trips to the love hotel smells are gone.

I will be bringing both my 02, and the silvia for detailing very soon.

Thanks for the great work Leo!

-international B from i-club.com

So, I've had my STi since September of 2004. I have NEVER had it detailed. It has NEVER been kept overnight in a residential garage. I have NEVER gotten a hand wax. This car is parked on the street next to the sprinklers every day all year long. The only paint work I've ever done was scraping off tree sap with my fingernails.

Last week some jerk broke into my car. When I got the window replaced ($220 ouch) the guy doing the labor rubbed his fat butt on my door and scuffed it up. I decided it was time for a good detail.

I met Leo (DetailAddict) one day at SpeedElement (also a great place). He took a look at my car and quoted me a package. Since my car is silver I didn't need a lot of the anti-swirl treatments so I was able to save some green.

On the day of the detail I took some before pictures of problem areas on my car. There were atleast 10 visible door ding scuffs on my driver side door alone. Some jerk stole my STi logo off my trunk with a screwdriver, but left most of the sticky part and a gouge in the paint. Those are just the 2 areas I'll show pics of. My car needed a lot of love to put it lightly. I think he went through an entire machine pad getting water spots off my glass (I can seriously see better out of my car lol).

From start to finish the entire process was smooth. My car feels like it's brand new again. I'm very happy. I couldn't even take a lot of closeup after shots, because my camera can't find a good spot to focus on LOL. In my before shots you can see the lense focus on damage or scratches in my clearcoat...but when I went to do after shots I couldn't get a good spot focused to take pictures.

Thanks a lot for the great job you guys (Mr and Ms DetailAddict).

-Jonp from i-club.com

Love the VRT and A-P Cleaner you sell, I´ll definitely be back for more!!! Thanks for the demonstration of the VRT, which is why I bought it, also appreciate your explanation about maintaining my car (to set my expectations). Leo, I´ll definitely be back for more goods and a detail next year! Let´s see if I can convince my wife to get her car done too in the meantime...

-CHESTON from i-club.com

Great customer service selling awesome product! I highly recommend leo for all your detailing needs. I inquired about getting two sets of claybar and wax. he went above and beyond in the e-mail communication, and was flexible enough to meet me at a san jose meet for the purchase. The product he sells is far more superior than any other claybar/wax combo I´ve ever used on any of my cars. all smiles over here with my shiny WRX. Thanks Leo!

-porTURBOer from i-club.com

thanks again for the great job on the detailing. It really is something you have to see in person to appreciate. It really hasn´t looked this good since August 2005 when I bought it!

Thank you again, and I will certainly spread the word to fellow Evo, and non-Evo owners as well.

-superfleajq from NorCalEvo.net

You guys don´t understand how jacked up my car was. I basically had it parked outside for the last year and a half since it was last detailed. The car came out pretty much flawless except the damn shopping cart dents after Leo was done with it.

Now I park in the driveway and my car looks good sitting next to my roomate´s spanking new e92 m3 - I kid you not

In the detailing world caring and attention is what really makes the difference. Leo´s a true detailer in these attributes he brings to each job he does.

-verc from i-club.com

I tried to repair my headlights and screwed up one sunday. I got some info from a friend who recommended this guy to do like external detailing jobs. He reconditioned my headlights and repaired the damage I did =P Also he took out some scuff and scratches on the trunk of my car and the hood too.

I had the dry fog odor treatment and my car still hasn´t been overcome once again by my nasty smoking habit. You certainly want to clean the car but if you want it to smell nice and fresh I recommend you have Leo fog the sucker.

-Flanders from i-club.com

The odor removal went well. It has been a week and a half and I still have that nice scent in my car. I think it is definitely worthwhile. My car is a ´97. So... ten years.
