    Excellent service!!! Looks great! I will be using them again!! And they wouldn't hesitate to…read morerecommend them to a friend for sure. Great job guys.

    Pay attention to how he responds to negative reviews- he is defensive and blames the customer…read moredespite the photo evidence that his work is unacceptable. There's another review on a major platform describing the same experience as my own, so this is not an outlier It's how he operates. I booked this detailing service as a gift for my daughter. She was given her dad's car (2016 Honda Pilot), which had been sitting for about a year. It was messy from crumbs he had left and let sit, but there were no major stains or anything egregious. I was so excited for the transformation that I even took "before" pictures to show her dad since it's technically his car (I also didn't want to be blamed for any scratches or wear/tear that already existed). Unfortunately, the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. When I first reached out, John quoted me $200 (his website says $189 for an SUV by the way- red flag #1). I should have realized something was off when he had next-day availability on a Saturday--that was red flag number two. Red flag number three came when I arrived to drop off the car: he suddenly announced it was a "cash only" transaction and bumped the price up to $265, claiming the car was "very dirty." Since he increased the price right then and there upon seeing the car, it made me think that the extra money was exactly what was needed to get the car properly cleaned. When it was time to pick up the car, he took my cash (I gave him $305 total, including a tip I had prepared with the payment in good faith) and left immediately (the place was closed) meaning we didn't even get to inspect the vehicle with him. My daughter saw the shiny leather and got excited. But once we properly looked inside, I was angry. It honestly looked like they just drove it through a standard car wash with interior vacuum/wipe down (a $50 service by the way) and called it a day. The steering wheel and stick shift were completely untouched and heavily soiled. Leaving those dirty is like cleaning a bathroom and skipping the toilet! The dashboard and air vents were dusty as hell. The seats were left feeling greasy. The touch screen and entire console had swirl marks All over them and residue. The exterior was also covered in swirl marks/ didn't look polished at all. No evidence of the "6 month sealant" he boasts on the website. He specifically promised he would polish the faded headlights, but they look absolutely no different. We actually had to stay parked by the building and clean the car ourselves just to make it acceptable before we left. I stopped taking pictures after a while of cleaning because my daughter was getting frustrated and just wanted to leave, so the photos I sent him didn't even capture everything that was left dirty. When I confronted him about the terrible job, not only did he not apologize, but he actually blamed me for what the car looked like when I dropped it off! As you can see in the before pictures, it was nothing crazy. Yes, it was dirty, but that's literally what paying for a detail is for. If he needed more time or more money to do the job right, it is his job as a business owner to communicate that to the customer. He keeps saying he is 38 years in business but that's not a flex if you haven't figured out yet how to clean a car properly. The fact that he thinks this is an acceptable result for anybody paying $305 is unbelievable. He refused to give me a partial refund (I asked for $150, leaving him with $155 which is way more than I would ever pay for this service- a regular car wash deep clean would do a better job for $50) and he wouldn't even refund the tip. He offered to have me bring it back in, but I absolutely did not trust them with the car again and didnt want to waste another day with his shop. Save your time, your money, and your peace of mind. Go somewhere else.

    This is a great wash! No, it's not the fastest wash in town, but if you've got the time and need…read moresome extra TLC, this is the place to go! They use quality supplies, the attention to detail of their service is a great value for the price, and if you've got a specific service you need or something that needs extra attention, those folks are more than happy to handle special requests. Plus, the view out back is pretty. Highly recommended.

    Took my new black 2025 5 series there for a wash. I'll…read moreprefix this review by saying the intent is constructive feedback, not bashing. I would like to see this place improve. 1. The rinse - no issues there, decent job 2. The actual wash - somewhat sloppy. Had to point the crew to a missed square foot spot on a roof. It was untouched meaning if there was significant amount of dirt the particles would have been dragged across the paint causing scratches. On black car it means a paint correction would have to be done after the wash and that's additional time, cost and effort. As I was watching the process and asked the crew to address it, no issues, they washed it. But...I don't have to babysit the process. 3. The rubber mats from other cars are being cleaned right next to the car that's in the wash. They use a pressure washer on the rubber mats and for some reason they aim in the direction of the car that's being washed 4 feet away. Blasting dirt, rocks and other garbage out of the rubber mats right onto the car paint. Why would you do that? That's just lack of training and lack of care. Big problem as far I'm concerned. I don't want rocks and dirt flying at high speeds hitting the side of my car. See picture. 4. Drying - few guys use same towels or towels that are not properly washed and you end up with grease and oils on paint. Had to ask them to go over it once more using fresh towels Take this feedback guys and improve your process. Nothing out of the ordinary here just use care and common sense. Customers who come there for a hand wash love their cars. If I didn't care about mine I'd be taking it to an automatic car wash for $12. But since you're charging $30 just for exterior wash I expect quality that matches the price. Hope to see you address these issues as I definitely want to be back for a nice hand car wash.
