    It's the only car wash in my neighborhood and it does a reasonably good job at getting the car…read moreclean and for that it's 4 stars. If there were any better choices I would lower it to 3 stars and here is why: 1) It's too dry. Dry foam, dry brushes. Dirt/sand/dust is rubbed off rather than rinsed off, which isn't good for the paint. More water flow would be a nice touch. 2) Sometimes you don't get what you pay for. If you paid for "Best" with an upgrade and the sign at the exit shows you "Clean," here's what you do: ALAWAYS PRINT THE RECEIPT at the pay station. Drive around the building right into the wash again, at the station select "Pay at the Wash," show your receipt and request the correct wash. Get what you paid for. (I was told you can go through as many times as you like on the same day). As this happened to me more than once even on non-busy days, I'm a little suspicious as to why... I'm sure most people don't print the receipt, wouldn't notice or bother. Spaced out kids running the show or easy cost cutting?

    The guys working this evening were super friendly…read more They were super attentive with getting me through the ordering gate and wash tunnel. They had excellent manners; more than I would ever expect out of a drive-through service nowadays. I needed to use the self-service vacuum while they were closing up, and asked if they could keep the vacuum running so I could finish up. They were happy to do it. I couldn't appreciate them more for their excellent customer service. I will definitely come back

    Those of us driving to downtown Seattle are so fortunate to have Ralph as our technician at Mr…read more Detail at the Fairmont. He does an excellent job, is thorough and professional. And just a nice guy. Drop off and pick-up is easy and the quality result far exceeds the cost. Highly recommended.

    This service is a complete joke…read more I got my car detailed by Chad, last year and he did a piss poor job. It also took forever for them to correct the mistake because their policy was that I can only take the car back to the person who messed up the service to have it fixed. Chad was booked out for weeks so I had to wait for them to fit me in the schedule. I'm just now leaving a review because it was my first time getting my car detailed at the time and I didn't know any better. I didn't know what it meant (they basically shampoo your car) or how much it should cost at the time. Looking back, I feel like I got completely scammed. I now have more experience with other car detailers like WashLB (mobile detailer in Seattle) and two other car washes in LA (I moved) to say this Mr. Detail location in the Fairmont garage is a complete joke. I only paid for an interior detail because I go to the Costco Car wash for $8 to get the outside cleaned. I only booked for interior and it STILL cost me something stupid like $235 for a Tesla Model 3. I think there was a pet hair add on. They ask you to add tip before you pick up the car so I tipped $45, like a dummy, only to drive away with a still dirty car. They work out of a dimly lit garage with barely any light so they probably cannot see all the dirt. When I drove my car into the sun, all the dust and stuff they missed were immediately apparent. It was a waste of time and money because each time I dropped the car off I had to Uber or walk home! I was out my car for 3 hours each time while I waited. Later I hired WashLB who came to my apartment's garage and would wipe down my car with a bucket of water and rags I guess and vacuums. They also did not have strong sun light to show all the dirt but they did a good job for only $77 (before tip) for both interior and exterior. I didn't have to go anywhere, they came to my garage. Moving to LA, the detail places here are also $70-$150 for both interior and exterior. All these cheaper places did a much better job and didn't make me wait 2+ weeks to bring the car back to get their mistake fixed. This business is totally absurd, a waste of time and money. Please look at the photos and see for yourself.
