Ya know... I didn't even meet Shaun at the networking meeting where I picked up his business card! How weird. I was going through a stack of cards one day, found his, pondered for a few minutes as to how I had his card or if I even met the dude, realized that my car looked like crap and decided to give this dude a ring. I'm sure I could have easily found someone else by asking friends but his biz card was in my hand so I made the phone call. It wasn't even a good phone call. It was something along the lines of I have your biz card in hand, I have no idea who you are, by the way I'm going out of town next week so if you even remember who I am in a week and my half ass tone made you think I was serious about having you come clean my car be sure to call me if you want. I even hung up the phone thinking that I wasted his time.
After I got back in town I left Shaun a message to let him know I actually was serious about doing business. Yesterday, he called me back and today he came to my office. If you make my life convenient, you'll get my business. This guy sure did. I drive by a car wash place every Thursday morning but since I actually have to stop what I'm doing just to see if I can fit into their schedule I put off the detail.
Anyway, Shaun rolls into my office. We start to take all the junk out of my car. He, in the most respectful way, acknowledges how busy I am and how many things I carry around at all times. In other words, he knew my car looked my sh*t yet gave me confidence that I was going to have something looking new. Sure enough, this dude came through. He started at 2pm. At 3pm he was still getting all the dog hair out of the car. At 4pm he was cleaning all the carpets and wiping down dirt in the leather. At 5pm he was steaming and wiping down all the cracks in the car and shining the interior. It was until 5:30 or so that he finally got to washing my car. This dude was hustling to ensure my car was immaculate. He explained to me the extra cost of getting things clean at first and then discussed ongoing maintenance each month. I liked that he explained why vehicles rust and things he can do each month to maintain a like new look.
Yes, this is more than anyone expects to pay for a car wash. He charged me $120 for my Acura RDX. He was at my office for four hours!!! I actually left him in my parking lot all alone, wrote him a check and told him to go ahead and just lock the baby up. By the time I left I knew he had put in more effort than anyone has ever put in ever in the history of detailing vehicles. Even before he was done I had wrote out the check for a much larger amount for all his hard work that he seamlessly made look like it was routine. My car is so clean that it would be sin to even let a piece of grass inside. Heck, my dogs may never be allowed inside again.
I trust that you will not be disappointed in his work. Cash or check only. read more
