Auto detailing in San Anselmo, CA.
San Anselmo sits in the Ross Valley between Fairfax and Kentfield — twenty minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge via 101 and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. The downtown along San Anselmo Avenue is one of the prettiest in Marin and the side streets up into Sleepy Hollow and the houses along the creek are dense tree canopy from end to end. The Ross Valley creek floods periodically in heavy winters; flood-zone-adjacent garages add humidity to the storage environment year-round. Customer mix runs Audi + Range Rover + Tesla daily-drivers, restored Mercedes from the 70s and 80s parked in original garages, and a strong Sprinter and Defender presence (van-life and overland-build community). Sap and bird strike from the heritage trees lining every block — same pattern as Fairfax, Ross, and Kentfield. For San Anselmo — detailing and ceramic coating are mobile or shop at the same price; the mobile van runs to driveways across the city. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — back through the Ross Valley to the Golden Gate plus the Bay Bridge, about 50 minutes off-peak to our 3425 Ettie St shop. A common ask: Maintenance Wash subscription to keep tree fallout from etching the clear coat.
