I am so disappointed in my latest experience at RipTide. For some context, I previously came here…read moreevery 2-3 months for an express car wash and the DIY interior clean, which was a great experience. The microfiber towels are nice and honestly my favorite part of coming here. But this past week I decided to get my car detailed after a friend had gotten carsick and vomited on my passenger seat, unfortunately seeping into the seat and crevices. I was pretty disappointed in the end result for the $225 spent. For a detailing service, I did not feel like there was an eye for detail and that I could have done a better job cleaning my car. When I came to look at the final result, there were still parts of the seat that had dried up vomit in the crevices and the floor mats didn't look like they had been properly cleaned (there were still stains and on the back side of the mat, it didn't look clean). I pointed this out to a staff member and she had the detailing employee come back and clean it, which I appreciated. However, he still missed some spots where there was dried vomit (I acknowledge that they were in the crevices of the seat, but isn't a detailing service supposed to be for catching those hard to reach spots?). In my frustration, I just ended up cleaning up the floor mats myself at RipTide and when I got home, I went back in and scrubbed the missed vomit stains on the plastic parts of the seat. I also noticed that the fabric on the driver's side still had a stain. Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend this car wash anymore especially not for detailing and am so disappointed by the end product of the detailing services even after asking the staff member if he could take a look at my car again.

As a new mom, it's embarrassing to admit how long the Thanksgiving casserole that spilled sat in the back of my seat untreated. He told me that they only do by appointment only and I asked him some follow up questions and explained that I had tried to call the number several times. I'm not sure why they don't have someone answering the phone regularly, but he got me right in and treated me to the carpet clean! I will definitely be back as they did an amazing job and I don't really care what the cost will be in the future as they took such great care of me.

Typically they would ask you what you would like and ask about any add ons that they offer. The add ons were not even requested to me and I felt like they were just ready to get to the next car. Also after this point you would get out of your car and they would take it from there. I got the top tier service they offered which I normally get. But this time was not the same.

It worked perfectly for me because I was going to be in Durham for the day. The process from pulling in the parking lot to getting your car back once it's finished was absolutely seamless. Everyone was so nice and the process was quick. Since it was my first time there, the first attendant walked me through all the options, and there are a lot of them. Once you let them know what package you want and you pull up to the designated area, you're directed inside where you pay and there's a very comfortable waiting area. They also have a great selection of beverages and snacks. There are also several options of things to purchase for your car, like air fresheners, chargers, etc. It was a beautiful day out, so I decided to sit outside on the spacious patio with tables, chairs and other seating. At one point, there were 4 people working on my car once it came out of the washing tunnel, one inside each door. They got every nook and cranny in my car. Hand wiping and vacuuming, I was so impressed. They called me by my car when it was finished. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the owners, he took part in the awesome cleaning of my car himself. It's a family run business. They did the best job, and I have recommended them to every in the Triangle.
