Ray did a phenomenal job detailing, sealing the clear coat and making my parents 99 Volvo S80 look like it went back in time 20 years. From detailing the engine, to scheduling window tinting and even steam cleaning the entire interior, we are beyond satisfied with the work and service he provided. I would refer anyone to Ray, for all of your cars cosmetic care.
I was recommended to use Golden Gate Auto Salon by very good friends of mine. I recently purchased a 2020 (final model year!) GT350 Heritage Edition with the goal of keeping it in amazing condition until Im dead and Im the ground. Ray came over to my house to check out the car and give me an estimate. I could tell in the first minute of talking with him that he is an expert at making a car better that you can dream, and that hes very passionate about providing the best quality service in the industry. We decided that doing full interior and exterior protection was the best course of action, which included a long life ceramic coating using high end products. Im all about going the extra mile to make things perfect, and Ray is a like-minded car guy. He really knows his stuff, and I appreciate his honesty.Ray operates as a lone wolf pretty much, so he had my car for a week, which is what he quoted. Im pretty sure he put more that 50 hours into my ride. He texted me updates throughout the week with sneak peek pictures, which made the waiting easier while seeing his progress. Pulling up to his shop and seeing the car gave me and my wife serious chills. The color richness of the paint was something out of a magazine shoot and the glossy effect of the ceramic coating was unbelievable. The car looked wet. Ray should change his title to The Wetness King. The car came out better than I could have ever hoped for. I cant wait for the next cars and coffee to show the guys in the Shelby car club!If you are thinking about protecting your car, give Ray a call. You will be happy knowing youre getting the best service in the business.
We bought a 67 camaro that had been sitting in someone’s garage for 15 years. Beautiful classic clean car but had been sitting. We took it to Ray, who made it look like brand new inside and out. His attention to detail and the love and care that he put into it was amazing. After working with him once we will be bringing him our other vehicles. What he can do for the paint is incredible. So happy to have found him and his shop!
I brought my 2010 Toyota Venza to Ray because I want to get it cleaned up to sell it. It is a great car, but I am ready for an upgrade. My car has been the family car used for ski trips with the kids to Tahoe, camping trips with the kids and long distance family trips to Southern California. My son used my car when he was first learning how to drive and scratched up all sides of the car. Needless to say my car has been really through some rough times and rough trips with the kids. It really needed some love on the interior and exterior. Ray was able to get our most of the scratches using his magic on the paint! He was able to bring all the leather seats back to life by really cleaning them and treating them. He thoroughly cleaned all the carpets and even the ceiling had food on it! Any other car detail place wont even come close to the level of detail that Ray puts into your vehicle! I highly recommend his services!
I just purchased my first classic car, and was referred to golden gate auto by about 3 people, ray was super professional and very detailed in explaining what he was taking care of for me, he did an amazing job my car was night and day difference when I picked it up
Ray went the extra mile to make sure my imperfect car was restored to as close to perfect as possible. With the wear and tear of kids, frequent curb shots and regularly bumping into stationary objects, my car was beat. He was able to fix my wheels, dents, dings... and clean may car, cleaner than it was when fresh off the lot. I highly recommend his services.
I took my Lexus GS 350 F Sport to Golden Gate and Ray transformed my car into showroom condition! I thought my car was clean in and out but when I got it back it had a completely different look and feel. I plan on taking other cars back to Golden Gate and already have recommended to many friends with confidence that they will be more than satisfied! Thank You Golden Gate for the first class expierence.
I recently had Ray at Golden Gate Auto Salon transform my car... that’s the best way to describe it. A full transformation into absolute perfection! After buying a pre-owned luxury vehicle I noticed the previous owner had treated the paint very harshly and there were many swirls and imperfections. Ray was able to remove all of that and bring the car’s paint job back to showroom perfect. Paint correction, detailing (inside and out), polishing, ceramic coating, hydrophobic protection, and even PPF to protect everything. He treats every car as if it is his own. You will not find anyone around who does a better job with your car than Ray at Golden Gate Auto Salon. The value and quality of his work far outweighs the price he charges. Highly recommended!
This is the place you go if you want the best. Awesome first class work and service. My highest recommendation.
My car is like new again! Ray fixed the scatches and dents and detailed back to showroom condition. it was more than I expected.
