Default Where to go to get car detailed?

Hey, I was wondering where is a good place near santa clara/san jose that I could go to get my car detailed. I know there is the zaino detailer guy, but fremont is a little far for me. I would do it myself but I do not have the free time right now. Thank you

Some pricing and work you do if you don't mind? Are you mobile or do we need to go to you?

I prefer to do the work at my own garage, but have done call-ins (mobile) before as long as I have access to a spigot and a power outlet. The pricing varies with what you want done, but my typical service for 350s/Gs is wash, clay bar if necessary, local scratch removal (ScratchX), and wax. First time cars are a little more since they typically need more work than cars I've already detailed. Leather seat treatment, under hood detail, removal of wheels for caliper/inside of wheel cleaning, etc. are services I've also done before and are extra. Pricing starts at $25 for wash and up to $250 for "car show" detail for most 2003s and newer. Email me at turboz at gmail dot com for more details or PM here.

Thanks,
SS
