United Auto Spa

Aaron was on time, honest and dependable. He works hard and takes a lot of pride in his work. My VW Eurovan cloth seats were filthy. Aaron worked diligently on them, they look new. I highly recommend him.

Scheduled with this guy more than a week out for a 10:30am appointment. Calls me the day before to confirm. I tell him we’re good to go. Says he’ll have to come out earlier. Tell him, no problem, but I have to pick up my wife and won’t be back till 9:30.
Instruct him where the power, water, and keys are so that if he gets there before me he can get started.
Shows up before I get there and uses my landlady with Alzheimer’s as an excuse to bail and takes off before I get there. But not before going through the inside of the car. Oddly will CALL to confirm, but doesn’t even call to cancel. Seemed a little shady.
Notified my local authorities and neighbors.

Even though I am obsessed with my 2011 Mini — and people assume it is newer — I haven’t taken very good care of the exterior. I treat it like a truck, hauling hairy, sandy dogs around on dirt roads. Living in San Francisco has also meant that it has spent most of its days outside, several blocks from where I live, often under trees that drop suspicious substances. Add to that, a four-​month stint at an outdoor Treasure Island storage facility, the poor thing had severe oxidation and even specks of rust.
Finally, I did something about it and found Aaron on Unilocal.I completely understand why he gets rave reviews. He called the day before to confirm all of the details and logistics, he was on time, he was cheerful, professional, super knowledgeable, and worked his behind off. It was 96 degrees in SF that day and he worked for four hours. He also followed up a couple of days later to make sure everything was still all right.
My car looked only okay before. Now it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor again. It is money well spent to take care of the car I plan to have for another 15 years at least! I will definitely be calling Aaron on a more regular basis.

I called to inquired about their service and the gentleman answered the phone was extremely rude.
You are in customer service industry. Go take some classes if you don’t know what customer service means.

Great guy, great service! We will call on Aaron again. We were in bad need of a thorough cleaning, both inside and out for our trusty Toyota. Seriously — he comes to your house and makes your auto/​car look brand new and amazing — what could be more convenient? It did put our car out of commission for the whole day, but I don’t drive much during the week anyway. After moving to a new city and not knowing where to go, we were super lucky in finding someone so thorough and trustworthy from the get-​go (now if only I could say the same for a dentist …). Call him, you won’t be disappointed, the price is right, and he scheduled us right away. I wish our car looked this great all the time (I need to be better at the upkeep, I guess). Thanks!

Olive oil… how much trouble can a simple $ 9 bottle of Trader Joe’s Greek Olive Oil be? Answer: Way more trouble than I ever imagined possible. Who knew a glass bottle of EVOO can shatter when left in the backseat of a car in the Novato sun and have all its contents absorbed in the backseat/​carpet of a Corolla? Not me at least, until now.
I googled «olive oil car spill» like any person in this wacky, surreal scenario would do. «Replace the car seat.» «Call a junkyard.» «Use kitty litter/​cornstarch/​baking soda.» «Buy some bread.» «Find a good detailer.» Aha! Now that’s one that I could use.
To say Aaron is a nice guy doesn’t really even scratch the surface. Aaron went light-​years above and beyond to try to help me in my olive oil dilemma. Although he wasn’t able to salvage the carpet (the oil had soaked up into the carpet padding), he was able to help me NOT have to purchase a new seats because he was able salvage the backseat where most of the oil had spilled and absorbed. He recommended me to his friend who was able to replace the carpet and padding at a good price. And he followed through after the carpet replacement to complete the interior cleaning of the car. That’s top-​notch service. Aaron deserves all the accolades and praise from these reviews. You won’t find better.

Aaron is super friendly and does a great job washing /​cleaning your ride. I bought a brand new G63 a month ago and got it super dirty driving up and down the peninsula. Thanks to Allen, I can cruise around in my new whip looking fresh to death cause its clean as a mf. But in all seriousness he did an amazing job on the car and I will be having him come by every month from now on.

I had a BMW I wanted to refresh and protect the paint and leather.
Aaron comes to you, and even if you miss a hose hookup or an outlet, he’ll find a way!
He did an excellent job, he has one thing that is getting rare these days: you can trust him, like an artisan who loves and care for his job, not just the $$. He told me what I needed AND what I didn’t need and advised me with honesty.
Best job and value you’ll find in the bay!

I called Aaron at 9 am — found him on Unilocal.He was at my house, cleaning my car by 10:55 (he was meant to come at 11. Job was great — good value — and he really knows car detailing. It isn’t often you find someone who knows their stuff, charges a reasonable rate and is also a pleasure to deal with.

A couple weeks after I had my 4 year old Audi A3 detailed… I gave a co-​worker a ride home and she gets in and says, «oh is this a new car?». Now that’s the result I was hoping for! Just like new!

Believe the hype! I called Aaron after a visiting toddler threw up in our car. Basically the worst case scenario of car funk. He was so friendly and understanding, and was over to our place within an hour. After his work, we couldn’t believe how clean the car was (like new!) and the smell was out of the car. He couldn’t quite get the odor out of the actual car seat, but he was able to reduce it to where we could tolerate it while we wait for the replacement cover.

Found Aaron on Unilocal; he’s the only person I’ve found in SF with steam cleaning equipment. The best part — he’ll come to you.
Did a great job, was fun to chat with, just a great experience overall. Looking forward to my next appointment!

First Class service! Aaron was able to do a number on my 2009 Toyota Corolla. My car was parked under a tree for 6 months and had developed serious tree pollen on the paint. Aaron was very realistic with me about what he could and couldn’t do to treat the paint. After 5 hours of work to the interior and exterior, my car looked brand new. I was able to sell my car the next day for market Blue Book price for a Corolla that’s in excellent condition.
Aaron is extremely hardworking, friendly, and honest. All of the qualities we should be looking for when doing business with someone. Thanks again for the great work!

Best hand car wash and detailing I ever had. Took his time clay bar and apply polymer sealant and inspect for flaws. I felt touched by his efforts even though it’s a new car. Would recommend to anyone who had unpleasant experience with machine and half ass car hand car wash. He won’t disappoint you!

Aaron is a character. He’s super honest, hard working, and most important of all does a great job. My wife’s Accord was in dire need of a detail before we sold it, so I explained that to Aaron and he went through some options that would be the best bang for the buck in terms of getting it to look great. The interior looks like new. You can tell Aaron really enjoys what he does.
Note: if Aaron comes to your place, he will need a hookup for water and electrical.

Aaron is awesome!
My partner is a dog walker, so his element can get a little gross Aaron did such a phenomenal job of getting all dog funk out. Now if we can only get them to stop peeing on each other!
He’s also cleaned my personal car a few times and every time it comes out looking fantastic. I would highly recommend his service.

Excellent job. He comes to you! Aaron doesn’t BS you. Will tell you what you need, and more importantly what you don’t need. Less $$$ than other shops. Above all else, Aaron’s a really nice dude who cares, period. Initial communication might be funky as he’s working out the kinks of his new website, but everything else was smooth as the newly washed/​clayed/​polished/​waxed surface on my car.
Support small businesses! Don’t look elsewhere.

Aaron is amazing. He’s friendly, funny, AND efficient, skillful, knowledgeable, and well priced. He got barf stains completely out of my cloth seats, and detailed the interior of the car brilliantly, all in about two hours.
He is mobile, so get ready to have hime come to you, and make sure you have a three pronged outlet near wherever you want him to work on your car.

Aaron is DETAIL oriented! He doesn’t miss a thing! I have 2 boys and an oyster (white) interior… big mistake, I would sell this car if I didn’t have Aaron to detail it.
Aaron will come to you, so convenient. He is trustworthy and does a fantastic job.
Thank you Aaron!

Note to self, when removing tree sap from your car, use Goo Gone (the sticky stuff remover), not Goof Off (the paint and gunk remover). Anyway, after having parked under a drippy tree all day in the park, I stupidly used Goof Off to remove the sap off. I ended up scratching my car up in over a dozen areas. A car wash with wax didn’t do it. My dad’s waxing worked for two weeks and then stopped. I needed a pro, but couldn’t afford the potential money it would cost to bring it in somewhere. Then I read about Aaron on SFGate, and decided that’s exactly who I wanted to support.
Aaron and I corresponded mainly over email (I have no time during the day to make calls), and a few calls. We scheduled an appt for him to check the car out. He laid out the range of prices, and depending on what’s needed, it would range $ 200-​$ 300. He only needs access to water (hose hookup) and electricity (the machine that buffs).
After he checked it out, he came back another day with a helper to do the job. They spent around 3 hours working hard on the car. He was very friendly and definitely knew what he was doing. My car looked absolutely gorgeous when he was done with it. Thank you! It cost me two big ones, but it was well worth it to have my car back in its original condition and then some. Three weeks later, the scratches have not returned, so I’d say it was a success! Aaron made sure I was aware that if he missed anything, he’d be happy to come back and fix it. Naw man, you did good. But I might need a car wash soon :)
And to top it all off, last week one of my coworkers asked if I got a new car. Naw man, it’s 8 years old. :)
