There are some things in this world that we, as humans, just do not deserve. Peanut butter and chocolate.. sleeping in a freshly-made bed.. and if you drive your car anywhere more than 5 minutes a day.. you do not deserve AutoSavvy Solutions. I found AutoSavvy through a random google search of nearby auto detailers. I was looking for a ceramic coating for my brand new 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime XSE. All of his reviews were good!
After asking for a quote I came to find out that the owner is connected to some former coworkers of mine. This gave me peace-of-mind that Dane (the owner and guru of AutoSavvy) would do a good job - if for no other reason, than those personal connections. Boy, was I wrong. Dane didn't do a "good" job on my car at all. Dane did an AMAZING job. My brand new car- straight from the dealership with under 1,000 miles on it, already needed a paint correction. He did that, plus a 6-year warrantied SystemX Ceramic Coating (that also goes onto my CarFax report!).
Everyone. Was. Jealous. It's a good thing that ceramic coating is hydrophobic and causes liquids to just ROLL OFF the surface of the car, because the amount of drool that came leaking from my friends, neighbors and coworkers' mouths as they stared at this red-and-black rocketship, would have been quite annoying to wipe off.
If you're anywhere within a day's drive of the New York City metro area, you owe it to yourself to bring your car here. And do not be fooled. Yes, his shop looks like a regular residential garage, in a regular house, in a regular neighborhood of New York City.. but much like the Wizard of Oz, once the garage door goes up - you get to see the fantastically spotless, brightly-lit and well-organized shop space that Dane has built into his family home. When you get someone to work on your car, you want it to be someone who has passion. Dane has passion. He cares about his work, he cares about his reputation and he cares to make sure each customer feels important.
AutoSavvy also does mobile detailing, washing, interiors... all of it. And although I only sampled the first item on the menu - I don't doubt I'll be back for dessert.
Finally, I will say that the first night I had my freshly-ceramic-coated dream wagon... I managed to drive past some kind of muck spray in Manhattan (liquid concrete, maybe?). Terrified that I might have just screwed up the finish, and knowing I couldn't wash the car for a week- I texted Dane. He told me to bring the car by after work. Within 15 minutes he figured out that the "grit" would wash off easily (thank you to the ceramic coating) and he proceeded to hose down my entire car AND DRY IT, and wouldn't take a dime for his time. THIS, right here, is what I call customer service. The grit that somehow defiled my new finish was NOT his fault, it clearly was my own.. but he took such pride in the job that he went ahead and took care of it for me without an appointment, and without hesitation. THIS is the type of person you want working on your car.
You do not deserve AutoSavvy Solutions... but you damned well better call them and make an appointment. Save the $10-30k you'll spend on a new car.. and get the car that you have right now PROPERLY CLEANED. For a MUCH smaller price- you'll feel like you're being handed the keys to a brand new car, every single time. If you do contact AutoSavvy - tell him Dave sent you. read more
