"Rico was pleasant and his team delivered excellent results. Drove my interior back from a camping-trip disaster — couldn't tell you what was in that back seat. Looked brand new when I picked it up."Marcus T. Toyota 4Runner · Interior Recovery
"I've been bringing my cars to Rico for nine years now. Three vehicles, same guy, same consistency. That's the only endorsement that matters in this business."Danielle R. Lexus IS · Long-Term Client
"Fast, but nothing cut corners. Ceramic coating on my 4Runner looks identical a year later. Water still beads like the first week. Worth every dollar."James L. Toyota 4Runner · Ceramic Coating

(619) 555-0128Every vehicle is different, so every quote is specific. What's listed here is what's in the bay — call Rico and we'll build a package around what your car actually needs.
The foundation service. Foam-bath hand wash, wheels and tires decontaminated, clay-bar treatment on the paint, hand-applied carnauba wax that bonds and actually holds. No tunnels, no whirling brushes, no swirl marks added for free.
For the car that's been a daily life-vehicle too long. Full vacuum of every crevice, hot steam extraction on fabric seats and carpets, leather conditioned, plastics restored, glass streak-free. Odor neutralized at the source, not covered with a perfume.
Our best-value combo: everything in the exterior hand wash plus the full interior deep-clean, in a single visit. Ideal before a sale listing, a trade-in, or when you just want the car reset to day-one condition.
Swirl marks, holograms, oxidation, and light scratches — removed in levels. We diagnose your clear coat with a depth gauge first, then choose a one-stage, two-stage, or full correction. Honest about what's fixable and what's not.
Multi-year hydrophobic protection. After paint correction, we apply a pro-grade ceramic that bonds to your clear coat — so water sheets off, contaminants release easier, and the San Diego sun stops eating your finish. Two-, five-, and nine-year options.
Yellowed, hazy, or oxidized headlights drop a car's whole look — and cut your night visibility. We sand, polish, and seal both lenses in about an hour. Looks near-new; lasts.
A lifted truck isn't a hatchback. A long-term daily isn't a garage queen. Rather than publish fake-average numbers, we look at your vehicle and build the quote honestly. Call Rico at (619) 555-0128 or send a note through the contact form — you'll usually have a number back the same day.
Twelve recent details from around downtown San Diego and the county. Filter by service type, or just scroll. Every car here belongs to a real client — that's the whole catalog.
Tell us what your car needs and we'll quote it honestly. Mobile service available across downtown and South Bay.
(619) 555-0128A dirty fleet costs you trust before anyone rolls a window down. We run scheduled detail routes for small fleets and service businesses — billed on account, done on your timeline, nobody chasing invoices.
We run standing accounts with service companies, property managers, rideshare operators, and small dealerships around the county. Whether it's four vans or twenty, we'll build a rotation that keeps every vehicle on-brand without pulling units out of service.
Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly by vehicle class. We map your fleet to a route that doesn't interrupt your operations.
We roll into your yard, lot, or parking structure with water, power, and product. You don't lose a single billable hour moving vehicles.
Same team on your account every visit. They learn your vehicles, your expectations, and the small things no template captures.
Monthly consolidated invoice with per-vehicle line items. No one chasing down receipts, no surprise line items.
We meet at your lot, look at every vehicle class, and understand your operational rhythm. Free, no commitment.
A written plan — which vehicles, which services, what frequency, what it costs per month. No subscriptions disguised as quotes.
A full baseline detail on every vehicle so you start with a clean fleet. This is the "before" photo that makes the rotation cost-effective.
We return on the agreed cadence. You get per-vehicle reports, one monthly invoice, and a dedicated line to Rico if anything comes up.
Send the size of your fleet and vehicle type, and we'll come out for a walk-through. Standing accounts starting at four vehicles.
(619) 555-0128Ricardo "Rico" Garcia Torres has been hand-detailing San Diego cars since 2015. No franchises. No call centers. No "team members" you'll never meet — just a working shop on Market Street with his name on it.
Rico opened the shop in 2015 after years of detailing friends' cars in his driveway on weekends. The model was simple and it hasn't changed: do the work yourself, do it by hand, use products that don't poison a watershed, and put your real name on every car you return.
The fixed shop on Market Street handles the deeper work — paint correction, ceramic coating, multi-day jobs. The mobile rig covers the clients who can't spare a day without their vehicle. That combination is what keeps a nine-year-loyal client list steady: we're where you need us.
We don't run loyalty apps. We don't run monthly subscriptions. If you bring your car in, you pay for what you got and we shake hands. That's it. That's the whole business.
Every panel. Every crease. Every time. The "good enough" detail is someone else's business.
Biodegradable products, controlled runoff, San Diego-friendly chemistry from the first rinse.
Rico's name is on the shop. There's no "someone" to blame. One person owns the result.
Market Street, San Diego 92101. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday — or call ahead to lock in a spot.
(619) 555-0128Fill out the form and Rico gets it directly — usually replies the same day. Or call the shop — we answer during business hours, and there's always a callback if we're with a vehicle.
