“If you want the best, you found it. Jose and team put quality first, down to every last detail. I brought my rav4 to them 5 times in the last 4 years and every time they made it look brand new. These guys are true experts.”
“My car looks and functions like new! Great work. Professional and seamless execution. They helped with insurance and kept me informed along the way. I couldn't be happier.”
“Amazing service, responsive, they got rid of the paint transfer/scrape on my car, costing half of what another shop estimated. Now my dealership won't screw me over when my lease ends! All for $150! Plus you can walk to Pho Ao Sen for good Vietnamese food while you wait. I highly recommend them.”
“5 star customer service, 5 star quality of repair, and completed in under 6 hours. I highly recommend California Covers! You won’t be disappointed. Check out my before and after pics of my Mercedes Benz GLC300.”
“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.”
“I was disappointed in my regular mechanic and I looked up Prime custom and Adam was understanding clear and thorough
I had back shocks put on my mini and had my windows tinted plus I had. Bonnet stripe removed and new ones applied ....I'm so pleased .... good job!”
“Hector, Sarah, and the team did an excellent job installing window tint on my vehicle. They were professional and efficient from the get-go. I highly recommend Window Tint A Plus.

“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”
“They are back on 5th Street and Martin Luther King (SE corner ) and fabulous as usual. We really appreciate these people who are very hard -working and gracious.”
“I was referred to this place and I'm glad I finally came. The staff are friendly and you can tell that they enjoy what they do. I got the interior shampooed and it looked new again. Be prepared to be there for a while for anything more than a car wash. They're open all day and every day.”
