Detailer reccomendation in San Jose/Cupertino?

Hey guys, I'm new to the area. All of my detailing supplies are back in Canada, and I don't have a place or the time to wash my car myself anymore so I'm looking to find a good detailer in the area.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

AJ's on Coleman Ave in San Jose always does an awesome job, I never go anywhere else!

+1

There's also a good sized shopping center right across the street that will help pass time. A Jamba Juice and Starbucks are right next to each other. Which are prolly the first two establishments you'll run into. Then about half way into the shopping center is some food. I'd recommend checking out Smash Burger hmmmmmmm. There's also an L&L Hawaiian BBQ next to Smash. Trader Joes for groceries. A few fast food places, not sure what they are cuz I pass on fast food usually. There's also a Target and World Market that you could prolly walk in and around for a few hours in. All the way on the other side is a Panera Bread that you can lounge around in also. My wife and I usually just sit at Panera or Starbucks while our cars are getting done.

WHAT EVER YOU DO! Avoid the BJ's in there! It's pretty new and was fantastic in the beginning but service has gone down hill. Hope I didn't offend anyone if they happen to work there.

Haha! I like how out of everything that was said you dissected everything into a few words. You must've been every professors dream student.
