“Gabriel came to restore the headlights on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma and was able to complete the job exactly as described in a timely manner. My headlights look brand new!”
“They got me in and out quick and did an excellent job on my car. Full 5% ceramic tint and it’s extremely clear. Will do business with them again for all my cars. Thanks”
“Owner is so nice and was able to work with me on prices! The car was spotless in less than 2 hours. Perfect place to get your car detailed bc there is so many places to go that make the 2 hours zoom by.”

“I had such a great experience here! The price was really good, and my old car came out looking shiny and fresh. Huge shout out to Angie for her amazing customer service. She was so friendly, it was fun to talk while I waited. And bonus: if you get hungry while waiting, Javi’s Cooking is just two blocks away with delicious empanadas. My trip to the car wash turned into a delightful afternoon! Highly recommend this place.”
“I have been getting oil changes here since before I owned my own car (taking parent’s car as well). The guys here are always friendly and professional. Great service!”
“They did great job for a fair price. I personally saw how they clean my rims which was very dirty and they made it like brand new.
I had some special request which the first guy who helped once u arrive did all as I expected. I definitely come back and recommend them!”

“Excellent detailing job. They made the interior look like new. Amazing customer service -- they even picked up from the mechanic and dropped the vehicle off at my house. I will use their services again in a heartbeat.”
“Watching them work is like watching a well-oiled machine. But they're still human. You can see them warming up to the specifics of your car over the course of the 30-45 minutes they take on the basic inside and outside wash. They often get distracted and forget what parts they already wiped down. Etc. But that's okay because I'm not paying $200 for a full detail. I'm paying $50, a steal for the amount of detail they provide.
A few caveats which made me knock a star off (but keep in mind I have a brand new car with brand new paint, so I care extra here). They are not invested in keeping your car scratch-free. They use one towel for the entire shampoo process, and not enough for the drying to avoid micro-scratches. For a truly 5/5 star service, they would use a towel for each body panel, work from top to bottom instead of randomly (for instance when they're drying, I see them wiping just underneath the rear bumper and then back to the middle), and use the the 2 bucket method to clean grit off the towel from each wipe. They should also use a pressure washer to get as much dirt off as possible before shampooing, instead of a garden hose attachment with the shower setting. There were some times where the vacuum hose and spray bottle got dragged along the car paint. They also made an error in putting something back in the trunk (without asking me first or for help) and a plastic part of a rolling duffle bag scuffed the rear bumper.
However, I think I will still keep coming back because they aren't franchised professionals or anything, they're an apparent family-owned business just trying to make a living. Despite the issues, it feels nice going here. I relate to being an Asian American and being involved in a family-owned business. I can see the experience. I can also see the optimizations they put in their process. I just wish they were more careful.”
“Bruno did a great job in removing a scratch on the bumper of my car. Bonus points for coming to your place so you don’t have to take much time out of your day!”
“I love near here and saw their sign driving by. After two roadtrips with my dogs this summer I needed a carwash and shampoo. Their prices are very competitive and the service very thorough. I plan to bring my car here at least monthly.”
“Thorough, fantastic wash from this unassuming place. Approach from the south to make sure you don’t block the road if there is a line. 100% hand wash, not a spinny brush in sight. Friendly people, they made quick work of my filthy car.”
“Honestly the best deal around. The soap actually removes dirt and the spray wax seems to work. For $5 I can wash and wax my truck. Seems like there is someone there to keep the peace and maintenance.”
“Been coming here for years. At $8 High Tech car wash, it's worth it. My favorite is there's one or two guys manually brushing your car before you actually enter the mechanical car wash so that the stubborn dirt will be cleaned properly.”

“Favorite car wash in the bay. Quality hand car wash, none of that old crusty brush nonsense that scratches up your car's paint. Reasonably priced too and I'd even argue on the cheaper end for the quality of work. They work hard, tip them well”

“The prices are fair, and the location in Mosswood is super convenient. It’s nice to see a place that consistently provides quality work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable self car wash in the area!”
“Incredibly thorough, Greg did an amazing job, and everyone who works at People’s is super nice. My 20 year old car looks brand new — it’s an utter miracle :)”
“We've been going here for years and have been very satisfied. The self wash is still less expensive and does a better job then if you went to a drive-through wash facility. Our entire family also uses the detail service, its more expensive than if you did it yourself but they do a great job, so for us its definitely worth it.”

“I’ve been a customer of Steve’s for over 20 years from day one he’s always been very friendly and informative patient and he has never gouged me on the price. I’ve sent numerous people to him over the years and everybody that has gone fell in love with him and his shop. You won’t find a better location for service.”
“I’m a fan of promoting local companies, especially making high quality and specialized products like P & S. I believe they were founded originally in the city but now do their production in the East Bay. This is an outpost that sells their wide selection of auto car detailing products.
They were very helpful in reviewing different products and their intended use. I bought several but was particularly happy with the quality of microfiber towel and their Bead Maker product which isn’t a traditional ceramic or graphene coating, but it is very easy to apply and has a great water beading result.
I’ll be visiting again. My only qualm is that they close pretty early. It’d be great if they were open to 4:00 PM at least.”
“Fast, efficient, and very convenient to have around. Top spot in Richmond compared since I’ve never had an issue on top of besting others’ prices.Services: Scratch removal”

“I had an excellent experience getting my very dirty truck washed. 10 people descended on my car and had it clean in less than 30 minutes for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!”
“i got there on a Sunday 5 min after they opened. no line and got out in 15 min for exterior wash only. was it an exceptional wash? no but for a 20 dollars 15 min wash they did pretty well and i was satisfied. i will go back”
“Very friendly, they did a great job! I did the "in and out" and the truck looked better then when I initially bought it! They had at least five guys giving it good once over. They got the door jams, Windows, mirrors.... highly recommend!”

“I recently had my car detailed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The detailer took great care in cleaning every inch of my vehicle, both inside and out. The attention to detail was outstanding – they managed to remove stubborn stains and left the car’s interior looking and smelling fresh. The exterior looked like it was straight off the showroom floor, with a beautiful shine that turned heads. The pricing was fair, and they were very communicative throughout the process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to refresh and protect their vehicle.”
“Got my 13 year old car detailed with Anthony for the first time and it looks brand new! We walked through the service together and the whole thing took under 2 hours and was under $200. Highly recommend!”

“Zero issues to report, but then I am a pro at the self serve car wash. No line on a Monday before the 4th of July. I broke out a $10 and coached my little man who will inherit the CamperVan one day:1.) Time goes quick little mate. So make sure you're set up for success, before you drop in your coin. Test that the brush will reach all the way around your vehicle. We had to back out about 2 feet and squeeze a bit closer to the wall, and be mindful that the hose will snag the roof rack. Set up the step ladder, get a bucket filled with water. Raise wipers.2.) $3 to start, use the brush. Top to bottom. Gravity is your friend. Little man, you follow behind with a mop glove getting the low sides. If the glove hits the ground, grab a clean one.3.) Keep scrubbing after your 3 minutes are up. Use the bucket water diluting the suds, work from cleanest to dirtiest. Hit wheels last. Return wipers.4.) Set to rinse, grab pressure gun. Set step ladder. Little man drops in four coins and is dazed by the force of the gun. We work fast, top to bottom again, using the pressure to scour off the brake dust.We wheel out of the way as a line has now formed. And get ready to dry. I put little man on the roof and now others have recruited him. Hilariously he earns six bucks, and teaches people how to say their favorite color in mandarin.”
“I purchased auto detailing through Groupon, and upon pickup I was very pleasantly surprised to see that a dent on my door had been fixed for free!!! Other techs had quoted me $500 for the repair. I’m selling the vehicle and so this extra touch went a long way. Excellent work, will definitely return!”
“So this place was awesome, I loved seeing this blue thing in the center of the place, it had weird red lips lol- this was such a fun place! The thing is i kept seeing the eyes following me on the big statue, weird although, it was very dark, and not a lot of people were around. Also, i found these weird blue and red hands around, i decided to put them on!”
“My go-to car wash totally appreciate their setup gets my car sparkling clean Price is not bad as for the works is roughly $15 which if you go to some other car wash they're not even set up like this establishment in your paying an arm and a leg I would highly recommend you bringing your car through their service that is quick efficient and it dries it at the same time pretty well!”
