I just paid 80 bucks for a truck detail 4 days ago. Guy was very nice on the phone, he told me…read moreabout his services, quoted me 75 bucks. I felt confident it was gonna be worth it.
I got there at 8 am on time. It was 32°. The "waiting area" was a single dilapidated chair in the just as cold shop in front of Newsmax on a big screen tv. He confidantly assured me it would be comfortable if I was republican. I don't pick political sides, not that it's his business.
Moving on. I have a lifted truck with big tires. I asked him not to apply tire shine to my tires because it sprays up the side of my truck. He went on to tell me how he's the only detailer with a masters degree and he actually studies his products, armor all meguires petroleum based crap bla bla bla, and instead of argue....I got the tire shine.
This whole detail process was a little over 2 hours, about an hour and a half in, and he offered me a blanket. Says something as long as you don't mind the Cardinals. In which i reply, I really don't care, I'm freezing, GO EAGLES! I just wanted to be done.
So the end comes and I go to pay with my debit card. Cash only. I drive thirty minutes from Golden Valley. I passed countless atm's, any of which i could have hit up, had I known. So I asked where the closest one was, over by harbor freight, ok. Go over, get out of my truck, immediately notice all the tire shine sprayed up the side of my truck, have a mini cuss word fest to myself, get 80 bucks, go back. Put the money on his desk and tell him in a calm tone that there was tire shine all over my truck. He got a spray bottle and towel and half ass wiped it off. I asked for a towel so I could wipe the residual off my tires. He said it wouldn't happen anymore. He said have a good day without giving me my change. So I left.
Today, barely 4 days later, the tire shine is all up the sides of my truck. I'm a disabled vet. I had a back fusion recently and can't wipe it all off myself. It's a lifted truck. The tires are 33's, and are sticky now. It's also all over my $2500/ piece rims.
This guy is so arrogant and condescending, and his work is sub par, not the perfectionist he claims he is. I'm a perfectionist. Both of my visors are covered in desert still, he didn't notice those in all his attention to detail, I suppose.
I'd like to add that I hate when someone's wrong and they try to make it out to be your fault. I told him what the tire shine would do. I may not know the science and logistics of tire shine, but I know my damn truck. After wiping it off, he went on to tell me how it was my fault because I had big knobby tires. Now dirt is stuck to my big knobby tires because idk what I'm talking about.
I have no idea how this guy has a 4.8 Google rating. Never again, now I gotta pay someone to get all the shit off my truck and rims. Thanks Uber knowledgeable better than every other detailer in town because you how a degree guy. I got a degree too. It doesn't make me smarter or better than anyone. It makes me knowledgeable in that field. Your degree isn't in car detailing, sir.
Low vibe atmosphere, but comfy if you're republican??Idk if that'd be true.
