Detailing for the businesses around cars.
Dealers, vehicle storage, photographers, event organizers and property managers in Palo Alto and 14 nearby cities can ask NOVA about on-site detailing. Tell us what you need, and we reply by text with questions or an exact quote.
Six kinds of requests.
Dealers and resale lots
Interior and exterior detailing for vehicles on your lot, before delivery or listing photos. You choose the vehicles, we work where they are parked, and we confirm timing by text for each visit.
Request a dealer quoteVehicle storage
Detailing for stored cars, for example before an owner picks one up. The facility arranges access and an outlet; who pays is agreed before any work starts.
Request a storage quotePhotographers and shoots
A clean car before a shoot, so the car is not what holds the photos back. We cannot promise a result, only careful cleaning.
Photo and event prepCar meets and events
Detailing at owners' homes before an event, or several cars at a venue when the organizer allows it and there is power.
Ask about an eventOffices, fleets and buildings
Detail days in an office lot, recurring care for company vehicles, and resident detail days for apartments, condos and HOAs.
Offices and fleetsCar-sharing hosts
Interiors kept guest-ready between trips, where the cars are parked.

Sending customers our way?
If we agree to work together and you refer your own customers to NOVA, we can set up a link with a short code so we know where requests came from. The code never carries personal details. How referral links work.
Business questions.
Do you already work with dealers or storage facilities?
We do not list business relationships on this site. If we work together, we will only describe it publicly after it exists and you agree to how it is described.
How do you price several vehicles?
We quote each request by text or email after we understand the vehicles, the work and the location. We do not publish prices.
Can you promise a turnaround time?
No. We confirm the date and time for each visit by text, based on real availability. A request is not an appointment until we confirm it.
Who does the work?
Our own trained team. We do not use subcontractors or send other detailing businesses.
Do you move or drive vehicles?
No. We never drive customer or client vehicles. We work where they are parked, with room to walk around each one.
What do you need at the site?
An electrical outlet near the vehicles every time, a water tap only for some jobs (we tell you which), and permission from whoever manages the lot or building.
How do we pay?
Card, Zelle, Venmo or cash, after the work is done and you have seen it. For regular business work we agree on how and when you pay before the first visit.
Which cities do you cover?
Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, Woodside, Portola Valley, Stanford and East Palo Alto.
