I am about to turn in my leased car and wanted to have it detailed -- not over-the-top as it is already in pristine condition. I found DetailedByPrecision and set up a time to see him. He was incredibly professional, buffed out some chalk-like matter off the left front fender and wiped away a few minor scratches -- he refused to charge me. I insisted and he wouldn't take it. I wrote him a check for $30 and forced it on him. I also saw a classic Mustang he was working on -- this is the only man to go to for extraordinarily professional quality results and for reasonable prices. I give him highest marks on all counts.

Detailed my 2019 Chevy Colorado and did an amazing job. I've had many compliments on how shiny it looks and he fixed some scratches on my door put there by my friends dog. I was surprised to see he works out of his garage but dont be deterred as he does a great job.

Lim from Detailedbyprecision answered my call and explained the process of what is paint correction and ceramic coating. He took the time to explain every step of the process. I brought in my brand new toyota camry and did not expect much of a difference. When i picked up my car it looked better than brand new. Thank you for all your hard work Lim. Detailedbyprecision is the best auto detailing in San Francisco.

Detailed By Precision is definitely the place to go to. I drive a 2007 Toyota Corolla. I've had it for about 2 years now. And throughout those 2 years theres been lots of small scratcher throughout the car, also one part of the car was so badly scratched that it got through all the paint and started to rust. Not only that, the rear bumper of my car was dented in and I ended up popping it back out, but the damage to the paint was obvious. I was so eager to get it fix and luckily that's where I found Detailed By Precision and met Limny. I have him look at my rear bumper and also both side quarter panel with all the small scratches and the rusted area. He recommended that I should consider getting a new painted bumper because the old one couldn't be saved. He was pretty reasonable with the price of the whole labor work, but not only that he helped me polish and touched up both the quarter panels for free! So not only is he professional, detailed oriented, and reasonable, but he cares about his customers and the cars, which is a guarantee satisfactory for me. I enjoyed his work and would recommend a friend to this place, also would comeback myself if I have to. 5 STARS!!

LIM DOES NOT PLAY AROUND! When it comes to auto detailing, Lim uses precision, patience, care, & Honesty to provide the best service when getting the job done. ...I brought my 1993 porsche to Lim & he detailed the car AS IF IT WAS HIS OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE. Thank you Lim for an amazing service. I am grateful to have found an amazing shop like yours, was worth every penny!

Lim is the real deal, and I’d go back to him in a heartbeat! I had a little too much fun in Napa, and let’s just say... it wasn’t pretty. I took my sister’s boyfriend’s car (yup, I know) to Lim the next day and he was quick, professional, and incredibly communicative. He explained exactly what he was going to clean and how he was going to clean it, and I was shocked when it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. You can tell that he pours his heart and soul into what he does — it’s clear from his stellar customer service to the detailing services he provides. All is good now with my sister’s bf thanks to Lim!

Not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical when I pulled up to what looked like a residential area... until Lim opened the garage to reveal an insanely well equipped detail area. His attention to detail is incredible. He starts by walking around the car measuring paint levels, identifies the slightest imperfections, and provides realistic recommendations for the best level of protection for your vehicle. In the end, I ended up going with a full front PPF and 36 month ceramic coat for my daily (since it’ll get a lot of abuse going up to Tahoe). He sent me detailed progress reports every day which was awesome. The final result was stunning. Worth every penny. He’s proud of his work and will show you every little detail when you go to pick it up. Your car will look ready for a showroom. I’ll be bringing the “fun” car to Lim when I get it later this year. I know he’ll take good care of me.

Amazing car detailing service by Lims at Detailed By Precision in San Francisco. I brought in my car with paint surface feeling like sandpaper. And bird pooped headlights. Lims listened to my needs and thoroughly explained his strategy to detailing the car. Best part is he taught me how to properly detail my car, step by step. Such an incredible experience!

This is the best place to get any, I mean ANY, auto detailing done. Lim is a charismatic, passionate guy who goes above and beyond to ensure your car is up to your standards. I had a paint scrape on my car that looked really bad. I called Lim, he booked me a same day appointment, and got the job done. I’m AMAZED at the quality of work he did. DetailedByPrecision and Lim will always be my go to place for any auto detail work that needs to be done. Lim is also extremely honest. He gives the most fair prices. But trust me, any work you give to Lim, you are getting the better deal of it.

Lim was amazing and very flexible with scheduling. He walked me through whst needed to be done from an issue with a car wash and he had me drop by and fix my plates. He even touched up a scratch that was on my hood. Very friendly and I appreciate his help!

Lim is a textbook example of excellent service - he's a super clear communicator, knowledgeable, transparent, and invested in your happiness with his quality work. I feel very confident bringing my Evora 400 to him. Your go-to man for the job if you want topnotch results and a great experience.

Lim did an excellent job on my Toyota. Incredibly thorough interior detailing–my car is spotless. Extremely professional throughout and left time at the end for inspection. Drop-off and pick-up were a breeze.

This is the place to go if you're serious about detailing and protecting your car. Lim is an extremely detailed professional and very informative. This was the only place that I found in San Francisco that does 2 step paint correction and ceramic coating. My car looks absolutely better than when I bought it from the dealer. Lim also installed paint protection film. Detail by Precision uses the best products on the market because they care about your car. Lim did such a good job that I had him paint seal my second car. I've recommended him to all my friends and I'm definitely a repeat happy customer!

You're going to think that this review is too good to be real. I know because I experienced it, and even I have trouble believing it. First, Lenny was the only person I talked with about headlight restoration who advised me that replacing the headlights would give me a better result for perhaps less cost than restoring them. And he told me which headlights to buy and where to buy them relatively cheaply. So, I ordered headlights from EBay. Second, when I told Lenny that I had received the headlights, he gave me a next-day appointment. I dropped off the car and picked it up several hours later. The new, shiny headlights fitted perfectly. Lenny took the time to explain what he did and how he did it and he demonstrated the headlights, turn signals, and such--to reassure me that all was working as it should. For any task related to detailing, I will always to go Lenny.

One of the best experiences I've ever had with car servicing. We came to Lim with a very tight timeline as we had to have our car detailed to ship across seas. We keep our dog in the back of our CR-V, and after playtime at the beach, she would track sand, hair, and grime. Lim worked tirelessly to get the car looking brand new! There wasn't a trace of sand, hair, or smell. Lim, thank you so much for your effort. I'll be referring you to all my contacts in the future!

Definitely a 10/10 experience. I am glad to have found Lim and will continue going to him for any auto detailing needs. He provided me with the most information I ever needed in terms of auto paint correction and ceramic coating for my car. My car went in looking good and came out looking better than new. Thank you Lim!

I got my car a ceramic coating and it came out amazing! Job took four days, during which I was given daily updates complete with photos and details. So far the coating has held up well and I was given precise care instructions. Easy to schedule and fully satisfied, 100% I'd recommend them for your car needs.

Lim at DetailedByPrecision is absolutely the guy you need to get your car detailed and protected. I had a great experience with DetailedByPrecision! After the car dealer did a horrible job washing my car a brand new Black 2018 Honda Fit it was in need of some paint correction to fix the scratches. DetailedByPrecision did a fantastic correction paint job, as well as apply CQuartz Protection which added a beautiful ceramic coating to the car. I also asked him to apply the CQuartz leather protection to the seats inside the car. He did a completely thorough job, spending more time on the car to make sure it was perfect, and provided some of the best customer service I've received in a long time. A free maintenance wash was provided after the initial coating. He was super thorough in what needed to be done, how long it would take, and kept in in the loop if anything came up like additional scratches that needed to be taken care of. If you're looking for a great San Francisco auto detailing company, you won't go wrong with Detailedbyprecision.

Lim did an exceptional job start to finish! He delivered an extremely informative and helpful consultation on services specific to my vehicle - he even took the time to find me an aftermarket internal PPF kit which I had been unable to track down. The day I dropped the car off he stepped me through exactly what he planned to do, rationale behind his approaches and techniques and what I can expect in terms of communication and timelines. He kept me up to date and was timely in all his communications. When I picked the car up, he took me through everything with incredible detail and care in addition to recommendations for after-care and maintenance. His pricing was extremely reasonable given all the services he performed and the quality of his work. I plan to return for future care and am so happy I trusted him with my dream car. Will be sending my friends his direction!
