Where we work in San Mateo
San Mateo is the northernmost city on our list. We come to single-family homes in neighborhoods such as Baywood, Aragon, San Mateo Park, Hillsdale, Laurelwood and Beresford, and to condos and apartments around downtown and Central Park.
We also detail cars at offices, including the Bay Meadows area and along El Camino Real, when the property allows detailing in its lot.
Downtown condos, offices and the 94404 question
- Downtown buildings often have shared garages with house rules. An Interior Detail needs only an outlet, and inside garages we use waterless or rinseless methods only.
- ZIP 94404 is mostly Foster City, which is outside our usual 15 cities, plus part of San Mateo, which we serve. If you're not sure, text us your street.
- Lease ending soon? Our lease-return guide covers what to do before the inspection.

What we need at your address
- A standard electrical outlet near the car, every time.
- A water tap only for some jobs. We tell you when we confirm; if we don't, you don't need one.
- A reasonably level spot with room to walk all the way around the car. We never drive or move it.
- The car unlocked or the keys where we agree, valuables removed, and pets secured away from the work area.
