My car was covered in spots by some kind of sap or hard water and Nader and his team were able to virtually eliminate all traces of it quickly, professionally, and affordably. I would definitely recommend Nader and his team to anyone looking for a professional wash, detail, or paint correction.
What I liked most about Nader was his personal and professional approach to my situation. I took my car to three other shops before choosing Nader, and it was his approach and conversation that put him over the top.
5/5 would recommend and return!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Andrew M.San Francisco, CA22247577Jun 25, 2018
Dropped my car off this morning for a full external detail and was told by a worker there to come back at 3:00. I came back only to discover nothing had been done to my car. I called the number to find out from the worker of auto spa that they had been relocated.
So, I did not get anything done and wasted a day off of work and spent $25.00 on Uber to get back home and back to the place for nothing.
Not a way to conduct business. And the person was apologetic but that doesn't help me after wasting a full day off. They could have contacted me about the relocation and I gave them my info and had an appointment, so they knew that they were relocating but didn't take the time to contact their customers.
Not a way to do business. And whatever they were going to offer doesn't help.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Whitney E.Brooklyn, NY4228Mar 29, 2021
I showed up late due a crazy day at work, but Nader was still able to fit me in. They did a great job, and my car was done in 2 hours! My car looks brand new after the wash and wax, and you'd never be able to tell from the interior that I have a dog. I will definitely bring my car back next time!

I recently brought my car to Nader / Auto Spa and I could not be happier with the experience.
Auto Spa's work is some of the best that I have seen. I researched and looked at several different coatings and shops, but I eventually decided to get exterior done here.
Nader did an amazing job throughout. I brought my vehicle in for a quote. He talked me through the type of packages they offer, where coating can be applied, the condition of my vehicle, common installations and coverage areas, and any questions I had about the process.
It was evident that Nader was a master installer with years of experience. This shop has an easy to read price guide for estimates, but for a hard quote, you need to bring the vehicle in so they can examine the state of the vehicle and walk through the package or options you want installed. The quote I was provided was fair and straight forward.
When I picked up the vehicle from Nader, he walked me through the work that was done, showing me the areas had been applied to do, and answered any questions I had. He even showed me basic maintenance techniques for the coating.
I then brought my vehicle back in within 2 weeks for the inspection, and the process was a breeze.
Not only does Nader / Auto Spa perform excellent work, the respect and diligence Nader has for his customers as well as his top notch work ethic is truly hard to find.
I will bring my next vehicle to The Auto Spa in a heartbeat.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Vindy C.South San Francisco, CA234126116May 11, 2017
My car was brought in for a full detail because I noticed black grease spots stuck on the back bumper after the last big rainstorm in the Bay Area. It may have been from all the dirt and debris on the highways that were kicked up.
I knew the job would require a bit of elbow grease....so it was better for a professional to try to tackle it, rather than I try. A few hours later, when I received my car back, it was immaculate! Not only did they tend to the inside & outside of the car, they also cleaned under the hood as well.
I glided my hand over the car and it was smoother than a baby's bottom. I was thoroughly impressed!
The Auto Spa did a fantastic job and I would recommend their services without hesitation!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jay M.Financial District, San Francisco, CA935818Mar 5, 2016

Just picked up my car and I have to say it looks great! They got all the white wax residue left over from a drive thru car wash that offered $50 wax special, never doing that again. Also removed the hard water spots I got from going through a car wash in Fairfield. Can't recommend these guys enough, definitely coming back to them.

I had the "Treatment 2" (clay and wax) work on my car. They did a decent job, but it could have been better if they had better work lights. They missed a lot spots that's highly visible in the sunlight. They could have done a better job on the wheel barrels. I ended up spending another hour with a quick wash spray to touch things up and remove excessive wax on exterior plastics.
Shop location is a little sketchy. It's just an extremely old warehouse. No signage on the building. But I guess that's normal for this part of SF.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sukriti A.San Francisco, CA12035Jun 26, 2020
I just moved to SF and found this place closest to me. They did a beautiful job on detailing. My car is shining new and the insides are spotless. They also made sure to be very thoughtful in helping me find the space.

Nader called me right after this post to apologize for missing my voice message and the oversight on cleaning the interior. He offered to detail the inside for free to compensate for the error and inconvenience. I just got my car back today and they cleaned the interior and also the exterior for added measure. They also washed my floor mats!
Mistakes do happen and I just really appreciate the follow up care that this business provided. If you work in SOMA this is a good choice for your car wash needs!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0May 1, 2017Previous reviewMy 1st experience at their old location, using a Groupon was awesome. The car was there longer than expected but they did such an amazing job, I tipped the cleaning guy extra. Both the exterior AND interior were gleaming, even the mud mats. I was so impressed that I recommended them to all my friends and coworkers.
Last week was my 2nd time. The exterior looked great but the interior was DIRTY. The Groupon included light interior cleaning, but they did not touch the inside at all. The dashboard was caked in dust and they didn't even bother to vacuum the obvious crumbs in the backseat. I think they completely forgot!
30 minutes after I pulled out of the lot and realized how dirty the inside of my car was, I called to leave a message to let them know, in the hopes they might rectify the situation. Still waiting on a call back...
I paid $90 for a fancy exteriror car wash and still have to go spend time and money somewhere else to clean the interior. Very inconvenient and costly - I cannot recommend them anymore.
