Mobile service in Irvine

Irvine is the easiest place in the county to do this, because so much of it is parked in one spot for eight hours. We do a lot of Irvine cars in company lots off Jamboree and Von Karman while people are at their desks. You hand over the keys in the morning and it is done before lunch.

The villages are a different job. Woodbridge and Northwood are full of two-car driveways with no shade, and an HOA that would rather nobody ran a shop out of the street. This is not that. One van, no noise louder than a polisher, and the car never leaves your own driveway.

How an appointment goes

No shop visit, nothing to drop off. The whole job happens where the car is already parked.

  1. Pick a time

    Tell us the year, make and model of the car, and we will come back to you the same day to confirm it.

  2. We come to you

    Home, office and street parking all work. We just need to get at the front of the car with about three feet either side of it.

  3. Sand and polish

    This is the part that takes the time, usually around forty minutes. You will see the yellow coming off the first lens before we have started on the second.

  4. Seal it

    Last comes the ceramic coat, which replaces the factory UV layer that broke down in the first place. The three-year guarantee starts the day we finish.

Two services, one flat price each

Yellowed lenses need sanding. Lenses that are still clear only need sealing, and cost less. We tell you which one you need when we see the car, and we do not charge for sanding that is not needed.

If they cannot be saved, you do not pay

A cracked lens or moisture inside the housing needs a new housing, not a polish. We check for both at your car before anything starts. If that is what we find, we say so and go. No call-out fee, no argument.

Bigger lenses on an SUV, truck or van, so those are $40 more on either job. Your model tells us which one you have, so we do not ask.

While we are there
  • Fog lights +$49 Smaller lenses, same problem, much quicker while we are set up.
  • Tail lights +$69 The rear lenses go the same way, just slower. Both sides.
  • Another car at the same address −$50 Off the whole order for the second car, then $35 more for every car after that, up to 6 in one visit. We only make the drive once, so the second car saves you the most.

You tick these on the booking form and the total moves as you go. We do not add anything at the door.

Questions we get on most jobs

Not sure yours are worth doing? Call and describe them. We will tell you either way.

What does it cost?
$189 for a car, coupe or sedan. $229 for an SUV, truck or van. Both headlights either way, and that is the entire price list. A new housing runs several hundred dollars per side before anyone fits it.
How long does it take?
Most cars take 45 minutes to an hour. Badly oxidized lenses run longer, and you will hear that when we arrive, not halfway through.
Do I need to be there?
Only for long enough to let us at the car. Plenty of people leave us in an office lot and come back to finished headlights, and we send a text when we are packing up.
How long will they stay clear?
Guaranteed for 3 years. If they haze up inside that, we come back and redo them for free. A bare polish with nothing sealed over it, which is all most kits and most cheap jobs are, starts going again within a few months of this sun.
Is this as good as new headlights?
For haze and yellowing, yes, at a fraction of the price and without breaking the factory seals. A cracked lens, moisture trapped in the housing or failed hardware needs replacing. Polishing fixes none of those, and we will say so on arrival instead of selling you something that cannot help.
What if my lenses are too far gone?
You will hear it before anything starts and the visit costs you nothing. We make that call standing at your car, not over the phone, so it comes from someone looking at the lenses.
