Prime Time Mobile Detailing

I hadn’t cleaned my car in months and I never thought I would pay someone to clean my car. I was referred to Gerard through a friend at work and I was more than happy with the outcome. I had stains on the interior roof, normal dust and dirt in all the cracks and crevasses, and I hadn’t washed/​waxed it in so long I can’t even remember. He literally did everything and more. When I got into my car after he was finished I was completely in shock at how amazing it looked. The best part was, he came to me and did it while I was at work. Super convenient. I would definitely use him again and have already recommended him to several of my friends.

Everyone loves Gerard, and it’s easy to see why. Gerard’s a pro and his years of experience show in his work. After a detail our Volkswagen was shiny as mirrored glass with a fresh & clean beautiful interior. I loved looking under the hood to find it showroom clean!
Gerard is best for getting your car detailed and keeping it in as good as new shape. The best part is that Gerard comes to you taking care of your office, or even coming to your home. Call him today to schedule an appointment!

My husband Victor got our car detailed by Gerard and we couldn’t be more please he did an awesome job! The car looks great we are very pleased with the end results. We definitely recommend you call him if you need your car detailed.

My experience with Gerard was excellent. Called him for an appointment for the next morning. Although, he was a little late he did manage to call to inform me just that. So I give him kudos. I opted to get the interior and exterior clean including under the hood. The results was beyond my expectations. It look like the first day I bought it. I didn’t even want to go inside and leave dirt or finger prints., something about a clean fresh car. When your doing something you love, it really shows the qualities and hard work. Thanks brother! I would recommend.

Called to get a general idea of what the pricing would be for the services I was looking for. Quickly explained what I needed, and was given a price.
My exact words were «Thank you very much, unfortunately it’s a little more than I was looking to spend…»
And then he immediately hung up on me as I was finishing the sentence. No call disconnected, a straight hang up.
No thanks for calling, no have a nice day, nothing cordial whatsoever — a completely rude hang up. Completely unprofessional, and downright rude. Everyone else I have called have been super friendly.
May be incredible at cleaning cars — but would never do business with someone with these type of manners. Heaven forbid you have an issue with your service and have to try and sort it out!

This guy is incredible. It was my first time hiring a mobile detailer for my BMW, as I have done all that myself in the past. I can tell you the end result was beyond my expectation. He even took the extra step to detail the engine. Highly recommend!

It’s a pleasure to work with Gerard. Besides being one of the nicest persons I’ve dealt with, he is prompt, courteous, honest and very professional. I have been having my cars detailed regularly for over 10 years now and his service is one of the best. His rates are reasonable, and his work is first rate. And he stands behind his work if you have any issues. I will be having him regularly maintain and detail all or our cars going forward.
As an update. Gerard now exclusively details all of our 3 vehicles. I wouldn’t trust them to anyone else. On the last visit he detailed our newest vehicle, a used 2011 Miata. It was pretty dirty inside so he went beyond expectation by removing the seats to make sure the job was done right (at no extra charge). When we found that one of the bolts was stripped, Gerard promptly bought a replacement bolt, and required tools, and replaced the bolt all on his own dime. Outstanding service, and a real pleasure to work with on top of that.

Holy cow!!! I was a little skeptical about some stranger taking care of my show car because i am the one who usually does all the detail work on my car. But turns out i was WRONG! this guy is amazing! Not only did he clay, wax and buff my car, he also did a better job than i could ever do myself! He did what usually takes me a few hours in less than 1 hour… i will definitely have him come do all 5 of my cars without hesitation. He even got out a small scratch that my paint and body guy said would not come out… Recommended to all my friends and family.

Outstanding customer service and quality work. We needed someone to do an interior detail on my son’s Toyota Camry and Gerard was there quickly and did an outstanding job. Great guy, excellent attention to detail, friendly and helpful.

I’ve been using Prime Time Detailing for six years with two different vehicles and Gerard has done a beyond phenomenal job on both vehicles. What I love about Prime Time is their passion to make your vehicle look like it just rolled off of a show room floor no matter how old that vehicle is. When I first started using Prime Time my vehicle was close to ten years old and not worth a lot of money but Gerard took care of it like it was a brand new luxury car. I’ve referred Prime Time to several friends and they have all been impressed with the quality of their work. Five stars all the way. You will not be disappointed with Prime Time!

Gerard did an amazing job with my Highlander and two motorcycles! He is very detail oriented and does a really good job! I wouldn’t call anyone else. He was able to get a large scratch out of my side door it looks like it was never there to begin with!

Gerard is a jewel in an industry full of fluff, excessively priced /​needless services, and slow execution. I was planning to get my new Jeep Grand Cherokee detailed on the weekend, but thought to give mobile detailing a shot to get it done sooner. I called Gerard on a Monday around 9AM and he quoted me the best price out of 4 other detailers for the same service. He had an opening at 11:30AM that fit perfectly, so he came out to my work in Rancho Bernardo and by 1:30PM the car had been washed, clay bared and waxed — for $ 150 on a large SUV. It looks better than the day I took it off the lot. Fast, friendly, great final product. Based on Gerard’s feedback and testimonies from other reviews, I’m hopeful the wax will give me a number of months of solid paint protection. Most impressive of all was the turnaround from initial call to final delivery of vehicle — 4.5 hours! Can’t beat that.

my green smoothie spill all over the front passenger seat and the back carpet in my car and left a huge mess! Gerard was kind enough to squeeze me in between his appointment and come in on a 3 hour notice. My car has never look so clean and new in the 5 years that I have owed it. Thank you so much!

Yes, this is my first review but I felt compelled to start a Unilocal just so I have the ability to voice my opinion on the service that I received. Just 100% truth here.
The reason I was searching for a mobile detailer was because my newly purchased vehicle had a distinct odor which I wanted to eliminate. I called Gerard and he scheduled me the very next day. In addition, he provided me a quote of a couple hundred $ to address the odor issue and go over the exterior. At the time I thought the price was a little steep, however I accepted as I am always willing to pay more for quality work. The other Unilocal reviews helped me (mistakenly) make the decision to go for it. — I should note that I sincerely question the other reviews. Either people nowadays are willing to accept mediocre work or they are confused on what quality work should be.
Gerard did manage to show up on time at 8am which was greatly appreciated. He explained what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. I was feeling quite comfortable with my decision…2 ½ hours later I received a call from Gerard saying that the job was complete. Please keep in mind that in two and a half hours he managed to remove all my seats (2 front + rear bench), shampoo the interior, address other parts of the interior, detail the outside exterior, and reinstall the seats. Now I ask anyone who reads this, can a job like this properly be completed in 2 ½ hours? The majority would say no, and the others would question if in fact he did what he said he was going to do.
I came out to my vehicle, the keys were handed to me and off he went. Since my vehicle was parked on the backside of the building where I work, I jumped in and drove to the front where I normally park… First thing I noticed was that my left front tire was loosing air pressure quickly. There was damage to the valve stem and I believe it was due to one of his cords from either the vacuum or washer making contact. How do I know he was responsible? Well, I drove to work just fine. Second thing I noticed was that I could visibly see dirt on my shift column, dark smudges on the pillars and steering wheel, and dust still sitting in the cup holder area. The exterior was even more of a disappointment. When I can noticeably still see dirt swirls on the outside, it makes believe that nothing was done other than a quick wipe down… Can anyone tell me the root of the word «detailing»? That’s right, DETAIL. I was not using a magnifying glass or any other microscopic tool. I simply looked and there it was.
I did call Gerard immediately and explained to him how I felt about the situation. He did manage to come out the next day in order to try and fix his first failed attempt at detailing my vehicle. The fact he came back is why I’m giving two stars, however at the time it was already too late. He lost my trust and I wanted nothing more to do with him or his business.
In conclusion, you would think that a mobile detailer would pay better attention to detail. Not the case here. You would think considering that I work in the automotive industry that I would have quite the network of customers, co-​workers and pretty much huge access to a whole FLEET of vehicles that I could refer ones business to. Auto enthusiasts are passionate about their vehicles and a quality mobile detailer is always sought after. Needless to say, I will never refer this service to anyone I know. My co-​workers who saw firsthand what was done have asked me politely to not pass on his contact information… I regret using this service. I feel that I did not get my hard earned moneys worth and I was taken advantage of. Next time, I will take my couple hundred and spend it on supplies where I can do my own detailing at home. Something I should have done in the first place. Yes, lesson learned.
Want to make it right? A rebuttal isn’t necessary as I simply do not care nor am I in the mood to read whatever excuse/​reason you may have. Simply return my money or come by and take the time necessary to do a proper detail.

I surprised my husband since his car is the «kid– mobile» for school carpool. It really needed a a DEEP detail. Gerard took all the seats out, did the carpet, seats, and interior ceiling as well as buffed and shined and waxed the heck out it! He brought not only our headlights back to life from the cloudy dirty look, but the tires and Paint were glowing too! When my husband came home he was so thrilled! He said of all the things I’ve done for him, this spoke the most to him of how much I love him Since he’s a car-​guy and just got too busy to do it/​get it done himself. We highly recommend Prime Time Mobile Detailing and will definitely use them in the future! Seriously the best in San Diego and comparably affordable since they really care and go above n beyond other places.

If I could afford to pay for Gerard’s mobile detail services every week, I would do so in a heartbeat. He is worth every penny. I am definitely adding a wash and wax to my monthly budget, though!
He brought my 2015 Mustang GT back to life after it had been abused by mechanical car washes for a year. He even made the engine and tires look brand new. Every time he visits (home or office), he leaves KITT’s gorgeous Ruby Red paint brighter and brighter. He also is loaded with information and advice; he suggests particular cloths and products and will demonstrate how to keep your ride spiffy when he is not available. I heeded some advice, carefully washing my car (without water!) just before my most recent Mustang cruise early one morning. I parked next to a spanking new 2016 Ruby Red identical to mine. With the exception of some pretty light surface scratches (ever-​diminishing with continuous detailing), it was hard to tell the difference between the two cars age-​wise as both had the same level of high shine and color depth.
And the interior? I like to think I keep my car pretty clean… no trash or junk left anywhere in it, although I will own up to a few sticky Starbucks dribbles. Wow! Gerard left it exactly like the day I bought it. Even the leather seats were very well-​treated and made that pooty sound when you adjust your butt in them. I did not realize just how dusty and dirty it gets inside my car!
On the very first visit, Gerard noticed a large patch of scratches on the front bumper. (Turns out hubster hit a cone when we took the car to high performance driving school.) A couple of the scratches were kinda bad; when I ran my fingers over them the ridges felt fairly deep to me. Gerard got ALL of it out. You cannot tell anything ever happened.
I invited him to come to the office the following week and work on my coworkers’ cars, which he did, and did well. He thoroughly detailed the company president’s black BMW (an unkindly-​treated 2014 loaner in its past life) for more than 4 hours. It looked incredible. He washed a few and detailed a couple more of our cars over a 2-​day period and everyone was of course very happy with the results.
Another thing I really like is Gerard’s availability. I was able to book him on short notice. I found him on Unilocal after the place I got a Groupon for could not get me in for a freakin’ month! And that same place requires a water and electricity hookup. Not possible at the building in which I work. But Gerard has that covered.
I highly recommend Gerard at Prime Time for all your detailing needs. He does motorcycles, too. Besides kicking ass at what he does, he is a real pleasure to deal with.

Man o MAN
Met Gerard and his wife over at Harley Davidson in San Marcos off the 78fwy… This guy in general is a good guy he said to pull my truck up before throwing out a «estimate» and when he seen it he knew exactly what he was working with. A dusty ass truck that hasn’t been washed in over a year. Had dog drool and pet scratches along the side. The inside never tasted any cleaning product other then a old T-​shirt, wheels n tires were covered in brake dust n mud lol… Thing had no life in her at all… Straight body but no love… But look what him and his wife did for me. Claybar, buff and a shine inside and out… Dude… Using his words «pimped my ride» to tha fullest. It looks like another truck… It has a reflection… The windows were see thru, the interior had been shined to the max. She even found some floor mats behind the bench seat I had no idea I even owned hahaha. I love this couple they put in work and love bc it definitely shows… Anytime I need some love or know anyone who who need their ride cleaned up looking better then new (my gr is jealous and she has a 2015 fusion I wish I had before pics but these are from a few days after he did the job.

Highly recommended for the second time and it was just as good as the first. The service provided was great, the owner was prompt and courteous, as before. We discussed what work was required to restore the like-​new exterior finish and color, the quote was reasonable for the work performed. The work was completed and not too expensive. It certainly produced a fine and finished look to both inside and outside of my car. The smooth and shiny finish is great!

Five stars without question.
We spend so much money on gas and maintenance for our vehicles, why not spend the money to get a quality detail?
Gerard is passionate about his work and the finished product exceeded my expectations. Thanks!

Just got my 2013 Kia Optima detailed interior, exterior, and engine bay. I bought it from a private seller 3 weeks ago and the engine bay was super dirty and the white leather interior was pretty dirty as well. Gerard was very professional and the job he did on my vehicle was excellent. It was worth the price and it’s very convenient that he comes to you. I totally recommend his service if you want it done right. Could not be any happier with the finish product!
