Auto detailing in Jack London Square.
Jack London Square is the Oakland waterfront — the Embarcadero, the AC Transit ferry terminal, plus the condo towers and loft conversions that turned the area into a residential-and-commercial mix. Salt-air loadout off the estuary is a real factor — Jack London-parked cars pick up bay moisture daily. Daily commute mix is heavy ferry + BART + Bay Bridge to SF, plus a meaningful chunk of remote-worker tech residents who drive less than full-commuter neighborhoods. The fleet skews newer EV (Tesla, Polestar, Rivian, Lucid) plus a real Porsche + AMG presence in the higher-end condo towers. Parking is structured in towers, on-street along Embarcadero. For Jack London Square — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crew works in tower garages with notice. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — drop at our 3425 Ettie St shop, ~8 minutes north on Mandela Pkwy.
