Auto detailing in Old Palo Alto.
Old Palo Alto is the established single-family residential neighborhood east of the El Camino — leafy streets, mature oak canopy, and some of the densest exotic-car garages on the Peninsula. The neighborhood houses tech-founder + venture capitalist + executive families; the fleet ranges from daily Lucid Air + Tesla Model S Plaid to weekend Porsche 911 / GT3, McLaren, AMG GT R, and the occasional Lamborghini or Ferrari. Most homes have garages and proper driveway access. Tree-sap concern under the mature oaks is real. For Old Palo Alto — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crew works in your garage. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — drop at our 3425 Ettie St Oakland shop, ~40-50 minutes up 101 + Bay Bridge.
