EXCELLENT Based on 326 reviews Posted on Google Aaron AbramovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with this mobile detailing service. They came right to my house, showed up on time, and were extremely professional from start to finish. The attention to detail was incredible. My car looks and feels better than the day I bought it. Every inch of the interior was spotless, the exterior had an amazing shine, and they didn’t miss a single detail. It’s obvious they take pride in their work and genuinely care about the quality of the finished product. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional mobile detailer who delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using them again and referring them to friends and family!Posted on Google JT WengTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, I really appreciate that Hector's team takes time and remove tons of cat fur and leaves. They're both very detailed and willing to take time to deal with some weird stains and gaps. I also want to thank Hector who actively use the translator when I ask some questions, makes me feel he do care.Posted on Google Andrés Segundo Gonzalez gonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Nor Bay guys are amazing. They’re professional. They make my Mercedes Benz Sprinter Limo like a brand new. Thank you again for the great detail on my car. I recommend anyone if you need detailing.Posted on Google Jacqueline DemkoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hector was great! The business owner was amazing super communicative and helpful. They were able to meet with me right away and did a beautiful job on my interior detail! No complaints.Posted on Google Bruce HortiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just want to thank Nor Bay Mobile for a terrific job detailing my vehicle. They were very responsive. Came out early the day after I called. My brother left at Noon and was surprised they were still here at 4pm. He remarked, they must be doing a great job. I gave them quite a mess to clean up, so they needed all 4 hours to get to all the crevices and clean out 4 years of gunk building up! Good job, Nor Bay. I know who to use next time!Posted on Google Kapil TalwalkarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow. I have no words. These guys KILLED IT. I came home from work. Left my car with them and came back to what was basically a brand new interior I have spilled hot coffee on the inside and it was beginning to smell terribly. I am so impressed and recommending them to my friends. Worth every penny.Posted on Google Taylor BrockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used NorBay Mobile Servicing for a long time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They are consistently responsive, professional, and the detailing is always incredibly thorough; not to mention very convenient. The owner Mariano, is a pleasure to work with and makes the entire process seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NorBay to others.Posted on Google Rahul ManiktalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mariano and his crew are very thorough and professional in their craft. Mariano was very transparent about his approach and provided detailed explanation of the detailing process. I had originally signed up for one car detail but decided to get all three done based on how this team did my first car. Highly Recommend Nor Bay Mobile Detailing!!

THE REAL COST OF DOING NOTHING
What starts as one small chip turns into dozens — and a repair bill you'll keep putting off.
You hear it before you see it. That sharp crack on the highway — another piece of gravel just hit your hood.
One chip isn’t a big deal. But they multiply. Six months of normal driving and your front end looks like it’s been through a sandstorm. Each chip costs $200-400 to repair properly, and touch-up paint never quite matches. Worse, once moisture gets under the clear coat, that tiny chip spreads into something much uglier.
Most people don’t fix them. They just watch their car’s value quietly drop.
Where We Install
PPF demands precision. Dust particles, temperature swings, and lighting all affect how well the film bonds. Here's how we handle it:
Our San Jose Shop
Controlled environment with proper lighting, climate control, and zero dust. This is where we do 90% of our PPF work—and where we get the cleanest results.
Mobile Installation
Live in Atherton, Los Altos Hills, Portola Valley, or Saratoga with a clean enclosed garage? We can bring the install to you.
NOT A WAX. NOT A COATING.
Physical protection — a clear urethane barrier between your paint and the road.
PPF is a clear urethane shield that absorbs impact instead of your paint. Think of it as a screen protector for your car’s body.
How it works:
- Stops rock chips – The film takes the hit, not your paint
- Self-heals scratches – Heat from the sun makes light scratches disappear
- Stays invisible – Modern film is virtually undetectable once installed
- Peels off clean – When you sell, remove it to reveal perfect paint underneath

PPF San Jose & Bay Area
READY TO PROTECT YOUR PAINT?
Don’t wait until your hood looks like a golf ball. Get a quote today—most responses within a few hours.
We’ll get back to you soon to confirm your preferred time slot.
Will paint protection film turn yellow over time?
No. Yellowing was a problem with cheap film from 10+ years ago. Modern PPF is UV-stable and stays clear for the life of the warranty.
Can I wash my car after PPF installation?
Yes — but wait 7 days for the adhesive to fully cure. After that, hand wash or touchless wash only. Avoid high-pressure spray directly on film edges.
How long does PPF installation take?
Full Front: 4-6 hours. Front + Sides: 1 day. Full Vehicle: 2-3 days. Proper installation can’t be rushed.
Is PPF better than ceramic coating?
Different jobs. PPF blocks physical damage — rock chips, scratches, road debris. Ceramic coating protects against UV and chemicals, and makes washing easier. Many cars benefit from both.
Can paint protection film be removed?
Yes. Quality film peels off cleanly without damaging factory paint. Removing it before selling reveals pristine paint underneath.
When is the best time to get PPF installed?
Before the first rock chip. New cars are ideal — no contamination, no existing damage. The sooner it’s on, the more it protects.
Should I get paint correction before PPF?
Depends on your paint’s condition. PPF locks in whatever’s underneath — including swirl marks and scratches. If your paint has imperfections, paint correction first ensures the film covers a flawless surface. New cars usually skip this step.
Do you install PPF outside San Jose?
Yes. Our PPF shop is in Campbell, but we serve the entire South Bay and Peninsula — including Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Atherton, Los Altos, and Portola Valley. Mobile installation is available in select areas with suitable garage setups.
