AY Parking Management & Operation Services

I was circling around an insanely-​congested Moscone area and went a block further in desperation only to stumble upon this very sketchy-​looking spot (appropriate for the sketchy block it inhabits). It was full but for some reason the cone was not set up to block the entrance, and the attendant had mercy on me.
He was super polite, very clear to warn me that it closed at 7pm — no fudging — and it only cost $ 10. I’d def use this spot again (and maybe check out the ravely-​reviewed detailing service) — provided I remember to watch my back when walking out onto the street.

I pre-​paid for 12 washes, the 3 they did were good but now they appear to be closed. I am hoping they open up somewhere else but for now looks like I got ripped off. Buyer beware I guess…

I haven’t made a Unilocal review in years, but these guys are worth it. I recently brought in a 2002 Maxima I was about to sell, without a reservation. Within a few hours and for $ 175, they upgraded both the inside and outside more than I expected. I sold the car for about $ 1,000 more than I thought I would, and these guys deserve some credit for that (aside from my great salesman skills).
The service was totally friendly and prompt. I highly recommend if you’re looking to sell your car.

If you’re looking to get a fantastic detail, THIS is the place.
I just had my car detailed here (interior & exterior) and my car looks like the day I bought it. Incredible job and they even found a Tiffany earring I lost awhile back.
Kenny was terrific to work with — my car was ready on time and he was super helpful, pointing out things I needed to have looked at by the dealership that were still warrantied items that needed to be fixed. One of these was a hard to see hole that was being worn by the mechanism in my convertible top. Sure enough, BMW agreed to warranty it and had he not pointed that out, I’d be out a BOATLOAD of dough.
‘Nuf said. This places rocks.

My girl friends gave me a giftcard from them for my birthday, and I was excited about using it. I just called them to schedule an appointment, and this is the summary of what happened :
1) The price that the guy mentions for the requested service is different form what I read on the website; when I point out, he says that site is very old and outdated !
2) I ask him about the 20% off offer on the post card (from the company itself) my girlfriends gave me along with the gift certificate, he first says I can’t use the offer, then he get confused and asks me to talk to the manager who is now at the ball park !
3) The same flyer says free pick up and delivery (the flyer was given to us by the company itself), when i ask about that, the guy says he does’t know.
4) when remidng him that it ‘s a bad business strategy for the flyer to say one thing, for the website to say another, and for him to say a different thing, he starts yelling at me like crazy !
I might just recycle the gift certificate, as thankful as I am to my kind girlfriends. This guys and the company freaks me out with their costumer service, and business style !

First of all (and most importantly) the end result was fantastic. I brought my car in filthy inside and out and it now looks brand new.
I read reviews on Unilocal and pulled in needing a wash, wax, and vacuumed interior (normally $ 60 for a small car according to their website). I asked the owner if he could also clean up the dash and do a little bit of detailing on the inside without incurring the full $ 150 job. We reached an agreement on $ 100 and I must say I am very happy with the results. The quality was superb and very detailed from the front of the car to the trunk. It far exceeded my expectations and is why I am writing this review.
I had pulled in hoping to only spend $ 50, prepared to spend $ 60, and ended up spending nearly twice as much ($ 100) — all due to the professional and relaxed nature of the owner… and I am very happy I did. If you are on the verge of trying to decide between a simple wash and wax and a full detail I recommend spending the additional money. You won’t regret it. Plus, the owner recommended a great coffee shop around the corner (Rancho Parnassus) where I could sit and wait for my car. I need to write a separate review for that place as the coffee was some of the best I’ve had in the city!

I had a wonderful day driving Highway 1 in my Jeep about a week ago. We got some CGC cheese in Point Reyes Station, hit up Marshall’s for the BBQ oysters and clam chowder, and started heading back to the City. Perfecto. Then disaster struck. My passenger apparently decided that keeping her shellfish allergy a secret from me was good idea. Why on Earth would someone pound oysters like their life depended on it knowing it was more like a death wish? She loves shellfish and was being a stubborn ass. Maybe she felt safe because an ICU nurse (me) was in the driver seat? WHATEVER friend! I don’t want to stab you with your Epi-​Pen on my day off!!! WTF? =)
Long story short… my Jeep suffered a major hit. And we made multiple stops on the road side as we inched over Golden Gate. The smell was ridiculous!
Thanks to Unilocal I located this amazing car detailing service. I gave them a call and they were able to get me in immediately. I was unaware that I needed to share what had occurred because I have only detailed my car a few times. I show up and mention the problem areas and the guy says with a smirk, «You brought me a puke car?» Oops! I was supposed to mention that? But he was the greatest. We worked out a fair price and left the Jeep for the rest of the day.
When I picked it up at 6pm, I was impressed. The Jeep was shiny and new like I just bought it. No traces of puke. No lingering smell. He worked his magic on my seats, floorboard, and soft top (told you disaster struck). If your vehicle needs a little love or you want to impress someone with your ride, this is definitely the spot for professional car detailing. Thank you Detail Factory! And big thanks to my allergy stricken friend that paid the bill and will remain nameless… XOXO

CHEAPEST WINDOW FIX IN THE AREA.
Someone just smashed my passenger side window in on my 2003 VW. I called all the highest rated car window shops in the area and Kenny gave me the best price. $ 100 for a new window installed and he even cleaned all the broken glass out of the interior. The whole thing took less than 24 hrs to do. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the job.

My 1999 car looks like NEW!!! Amazingggggg!!!
They had a special this week, $ 150 for full detail. Worth every cent!
There was food spilt in my car, and the rancid smell never went away. Now for the first time in over a year, my car smells fresh!
They are sooooo kind and professional. They also have a cute dog that hangs out in their garage.

All the guys here were super cool and very helpful with explaining the service and how my car would look. I was very happy with the outcome!
The price was right and they also offer a hand wash and polish for a great upkeep of the work they just did. I’ll definitely be going back.

Once again I had them detail my car, and once again they did an excellent job. The car is like new.
They also bent out a dent in my front fender, which is A++, and I learned that they’ll also detail motorcycles for about $ 100 or $ 150 (I forget which).

Go. Don’t hesitate. Go. Now.
This is a great, friendly place. I felt taken care of, and that’s not just because of my cute Scottish accent.
Fantastic job on the interior — there were one-​year old coffee stains on the upholstery and ceiling — you’d need an electron microscope to see any sign of them now.
These guys also do car washes. Go…

You remember when (as a kid) you’d do stupid things to your hair? And then look in the mirror and scream in fright? And then you go to a reasonably priced hairdresser who takes time and care to make you look as good (or even better) than new? Well, that’s the Detail Factory, except for cars.
I foolishly parked Trixie under a fruit tree over the (hot) weekend. Needless to say, she was a hot mess on Monday. After doing a quick search, I found out that the Detail Factory was on my way home from work. I was unsure whether they could take care of my little girl, but I had nothing to fear. Seriously, for $ 20, they gave her personalized attention (a la upscale hairdresser).
— Spritz with cleanser
— Hand water spray
— Hand soap
— Rinse
— Chamois dry
— Blowdry
Plus, the guys were super professional with a can-​do attitude, which I ALWAYS appreciate. I came in at 5:45p and asked if they could give her a quick exterior wash. The owner was SUPER ACCOMMODATING and fit me in after taking care of 2 cars ahead of me that were being picked up at 6p. Even though he was short-​handed, the guys were willing to fit me in.
Trixie is back to her happy self. I will DEFINITELY tell my friends to come here if they ever need a quick and thorough wash.

So I decided to get my car detailed some where close to downtown. There are many to choose from so I decided to bring it to the Detail Factory. I hate cleaning my car but I know where all the little knicks and scratches are and needed someone to buff those out as well as pay attention to the fine details. After reading reviews I was pretty confident that this place was going to be good, but you never know.
Chris there took real good car of my car. The attention to detail was very good. I even asked them to see if they could help me get those scratches and knicks out and after getting their full service detail they definitely made it seem like it never existed.
Its like a make over for your car, so if you love your car and the way it looks bring it here, you wont regret it.

Great job with the detailing!
Thumbs up on being meticulous, customer service, and timeliness.
Bonus points for a location near Union Square, Westfield SF Centre, etc.

I’m a girl… which means I DO NOT EVER TAKE CARE of my vehicles; nor do I ever see the point of maintaining cleanliness of one. Its gonna get dirty anyways right?!
Yea… that all changed since OLGA (my dirty battered car) met Chris. I actually found Detail Factory, because I was just going for the parking lot.
Since I was leaving Olga there for a better part of a day, and Chris was so charming, I was «Car wash… heck. why not!?» Olga deserved it. since it was 2 years ago (the day i bought her) that she LAST got a car wash =X… Also… did I mention I have a fur-​shedding Pom that I bring everywhere in my car?
Went back to pick up Olga and WOW, i found out that she was actually SILVER and not black!!! i had shinny rims!!! my carpet was a nice black (and NOT covered with dog hair)! AND SIMPLY IT LOOKED BRAND NEW AGAIN!!!
And since then, I have been a total car freak; and religiously bringing it into Detail Factory for Olga’s monthly face lifts.

One liner: Great guys, great value and most of all, great quality work.
I just bought a new car (well, new to me). It’s the car I dreamed about since I was 7. I’ve been saving my pennies for ages and I wanted everything to be perfect.
The previous owner had lower «clean car» standards than I have and I needed some help to exorcise the traces of his (and his 2 year old’s) influence. After reading the Unilocal reviews (and filtering out the prissy whiners), I decided to bring my car the the Detail Factory for a full interior and exterior detail ( Unilocal special, $ 175).
Chris and Kenny were quick to answer my questions and listened as I fretted about all the details. It definitely put my mind at ease that they knew what they were doing. When I came to pick it up, Chris walked me through everything that he had done and I could see the pride he took in his work.
Check out the pictures. It’s shiny and smooth like the day it was born. The coat of wax is thick and buffed to a mirror shine. They extra-​conditioned the seats because the previous guy had used ArmorAll vinyl cleaner on the leather seats (!). Now they are rich and supple the way they should be.
Thanks guys! I’ll be back soon.

I woke up this morning and Unilocaled around to find a car detail place and stumbled upon this beautiful gem — Detail Factory! I called in and asked if I there would be time to come in today and Kenny said «come on in».
Like everyone else I did ze Unilocal Special. Dropped my car off and took my dog on an adventure around the city. As quoted was called a few hours later and my car (that has been negligently mistreated for about 5 years) was brand new again!
Great customer service and wonderful end result.
Worth every penny… thank you!

I’m trying to write a review here… But man, really… I’m speechless.
I was speechless when I picked Car up today. I was speechless when I called my mother to tell her that I got Car detailed. All I could think to do was parody Will Ferrell in Old School.
«She looks… GLORIOUS!»
I resorted to a Will Ferrell parody. That’s how dumb the detail I got at the Detail Factory struck me.
I love my car so much. I’ve owned her for 12 years and — let’s face it. She doesn’t QUITE look like she used to. If Car was a human, we’d attach words like «crows feet» and «liver spots» and «muffin top» to her, I’m sure.
But to me – I see her inner beauty. Because I remember what she looked like back in the 90s. When I was a college kid, horribly abusing her, clambaking in her, whathaveyou…
Now that she’s in her golden years, I want to treat her right (whenever I have the spare cash to do so). And now I know that I can do it more often, because Kenny did the amazing, speech-​stealing job he did, and he only charged me $ 175!
That’s an INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DETAIL! For $ 175!
I not only need to treat Car better, I need to treat KENNY better. Next time, he’s getting a MUCH bigger tip.
This place is a real find. If you’ve gotten your car detailed before — think again. No. No you haven’t. You have NOT gotten your car detailed, until you’ve brought her (or him!) to the Detail Factory.

These guys do a pretty good professional detailing job. My car did almost look as good as new, inside and out, when they were finished. Depending on what exact service you want done, prices could differ, but expect to pay around $ 200 for basic detailing job.
As described by M S., the place looks a bit like a dungeon, with only two workers. Chris was nice to work with, but I suggest you call ahead before going there, even if you have an appointment, because there are times when they are out delivering the vehicle or out on a lunch break where there is no one servicing the shop.
