Golden State Auto Salon

I requested a quote from multiple places and Brandon and his team's quote was very competitive. I got both PPF and ceramic coating. They have a car pickup option if you don't have the time to drop it off.

Couple weeks after the PPF we noticed some wrinkling in the wrap and Brandon was more than happy to arrange a time to smooth it out.

Highly recommend going here.

New update for May 2024

I recently had my car detailed at Golden State Auto Salon in San Mateo and was thoroughly impressed! Coordinating a time slot with Brandon was a breeze - he was accommodating and ensured that my car was started and completed within the timeframe we discussed.
The exterior detail and light interior clean were priced competitively with other places in the area, and the quality of work was top-notch. My car looked like new again!
I would definitely return to Golden State Auto Salon for any future car detailing needs. Brandon's professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Brandon & team did a great job at ceramic coating my car.
Now it's extremely easy to wash and stays clean even with all the rain that's been dropping.
If you were debating getting your car ceramic coated, it's a no-brainer!

Came back a few times and had my cars cleaned and new ceramic tint on both new cars. Brandon and the team has done phenomenal work each visit. They were always careful when performing their services along with providing a helpful details on how to maintain and upkeep my cars. I trust them with my cars knowing they will look amazing each time I stop by. Will be coming back again when a detail is needed.

I had my car detailed here for the third time, and I will keep coming back. Brandon and his team are excellent communicators and detail-oriented with great attitudes. My car feels like new every time I get it back. I highly recommend coming here.

Five stars! I was looking for a shop to ceramic coat my newly purchased Used XT6. After reading reviews, I stopped by and got a quote from Adam. I made an appointment with Brandon the following day. He was able to fit me in the next day.

The car looks brand new! I'm very happy with the paint correction and ceramic coating. The vehicle looks AMAZING. I'm very happy with the results.

Great pricing, excellent communication, and great results.

When I looked back, I had been researching a car detail since July. I use my car, a 2011 Prius, to drive for work so believe you me it needed a miracle to look anything close to brand new.

Well when Harvey @ Golden State Auto Salon met Tracie' 2011 Prius, it was as close to a miracle as they come. Said Prius hung out with Harvey and the Golden state team all the live long day....and yes they did make the magic happen.

I could post an after photo but I can't post a before photo and keep my reputation as a decent human being

Let's just say, my car looks so good I may never drink coffee inside again.

My research paid off; the Golden State Auto Salon did a great job!!

Back with another 5-star review for Brandon and his team! Why?

Because I traded in my last car for my dream car, finally: A Mini Cooper in the color I've wanted for the past 15 years! I had to bring in my Mini (named Charlie) to get him ceramic coated and protected. Brandon was really friendly and accommodating with my change in schedule, even on the day of pickup.

Speaking of which, on the day of pickup, Charlie looked gorgeous. When I touched all his paint, he was silky smooth. When I touched the vinyl wrap (I had the roof wrapped prior to bringing it in to Golden State), it was smooth like paint.

I'm so happy with their work, and I can't recommend Brandon and his team highly enough. They're my permanent go-to for future car washes, detailing, and anything car related that they cover--and they're worth every penny!

Audi dealership heavily swirled my new car paint prior to driveoff, so I brought in my new Q8 etron to Golden State Auto for a full exterior detail, including paint correction, and ceramic coating. Two weeks later, I returned for a complimentary maintenance wash and got my front windows ceramic tinted 70VLT, for UV and heat blocking purposes.

Brandon and the team did an amazing job. After their detailing, the car paint glistened better than it ever did at the dealership. They're quick but not rushed, attentive to detail, respectful to the cars they work on, and offer terrific value. Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. They're the only guys I'd trust to work on my car.

The tint job was clean, can't see any untinted gaps and no major bubbles. Brandon helped me pick out the perfect VLT for my use case. And he provided me tons of info on how to maintain my paint condition after the coating. I will be back!

Despite the friendliness of Brandon and the worker who performed the service, I was disappointed. I read the five-star reviews and expected something better for the price. Service requested was exterior wax for $200. Brandon recommended also restoring the glass on one headlight to make it clear -- it had yellowed -- for only an additional $40. An hour later, I received the call to pick up my car. I saw no improvement in the headlight covering, and after driving away, a residual red liquid appeared as streaks on the body in several places. I drove back to the shop, but it had closed. On a positive note, I appreciated the worker coming to my garage to remove the streaking.
