I've been going to Auto Innovations in Milpitas for tires and suspension bits for about 10 years. Talk to Orlando or Steve. They are great.

Hey guys, just wanted to know everyone's experiences with Dent Free and Premier Mobile Aesthetics Group. I'm looking for a trustworthy, worthwhile place to take my car in for detailing (got some nasty water spots). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

shragon · 06-26-2007, 11:10 AM

FYI... carlab changed their name to sonic.

Premier Mobile Aesthetics Group does only Clearbras now... if you want tint you can go next door to Sydney's Auto Tint Mall Specialist.

Dent Free... I think somebody had a review previously... I forget where it was.

A detailling place... a few people have emailed me a few places that I've never been to... and I'm still searching for one in San Jose area.

I think somebody showed me this "http://detailplussunnyvale.com/"... I think I might give them a call sometime this summer and get my car done.

pacman · 06-26-2007, 06:44 PM

i've heard a lot of good things about AJ auto detailing in san jose.... have never got my car detailed yet so cant speak from personal experience.... anyone tried them out before???

just4kickz · 07-20-2007, 02:49 PM

Just scheduled an appointment for http://detailplussunnyvale.com/

130 bucks for exterior detail--buff & sealant.

I'll write a quick review later. Somebody should go try AJ's on Coleman.

I just had Exact Motorsports in Milpitas remove my CDV. I didn't expect much, but what a difference! Rates were reasonable as he charged $45 (got quoted $65+ from other places). You can talk to John and tell him Ronnie with Blue Z4m sent you 408-416-0061 or exactmotorsports.com

just4kickz · 07-28-2007, 02:27 PM

So I just went to DetailPlus in Sunnvayle... Took 3 hours to detail my car... it looked great... really surprised... they took care of my swirl marks... and one of the managers or whatever--Mike--was really courteous and informative. He didn't tell me what kind of wax he used... he said he got it from a local dealer, but at least he knew what Zaino is... haha. anyways he also gave me this deal for returning customers where you get like 75 bucks off a full detail that would normally cost like 215 or something--I forget the #s exactly... but to be honest I thought it was well worth it, to get detailed by a professional twice a year.

just4kickz · 07-28-2007, 06:25 PM

also went to Premier Mobile Group to get my xpel 3m clearbra installed on my headlights. although my xpel kit had a fish hook indent on it and wasn't a perfect fit... i installed it anyways. PMG uses venture shield or whatever is the "best product" out... and can do both custom and precut clearbras. I trusted them to do a good job as they had a ferrari--a new one... never seen it before... a new M5 and a new porsche turbo awaiting their clearbras as well. install was 60 bucks... and it took about a 45minute wait.

For body shop,

Dynamic Automotive
1850 Cesar Chavez Street, #2
San Francisco, CA 94124

Mike (owner) 415-695-0982

He did a fantastic job for nick and dent repair on my bumper and door. I have Black Sapphire and the color matched exactly with the OEM color.

Does anyone have the phone numbe and address for Sonic, formerly Carlab? I tried the web address and it's not valid.

I'm looking for help to put in a pair of Euro (halogen) headlights. Don't trust myself to take the front bumper off!

Great thread guys, this is going to be very handy for me in the future.

Regarding this bake-on tint that the place in Campbell does, what's the premium on this versus film tint? Does it have all of the same UV and heat rejection properties?
