    I got my Ford F-150 detailed today. I was so overwhelmingly impressed. Not only were things addressed that other detail shops had neglected, but I don't think it was this clean when I bought it new from the dealership. The paint pops with such deep rich color after paint correction, polish and wax. Water spots removed from my glass that I can't remember any other detail shop removing, or them ever not being there. The attention to detail is phenomenal. I was so impressed immediately upon pickup I left the misses BMW there to have it done, and I'm having my boat done in the following weeks. This is my new guy. I won't take my truck anywhere else after seeing how detail oriented The Ark Ship is. This guy is 5 stars all day. If you're on the fence, just do it you won't regret it.

    I took my Chevy equinox in for a detail. We have 2 dogs and had not cleaned the inside of the car for a while. When we got our car back it looked better than the day we bought it. Eugene does amazing work at an affordable price. He is super friendly and pays extreme attention to detail. Would recommend him to anyone and will be bringing our cars to him from now on!

    I had the BEST experience at Jim's Auto Detail in Federal Way! I have a 10-year-old SUV that I…read morehadn't driven in five years. I had loaned it to a friend, who used the sunroof, and unfortunately, a clogged drain caused water to leak into the vehicle. Over the years, mold, mildew, and a terrible odor built up inside. I took the SUV to a repair shop and was given an estimate of over $10,000 to fix it. I was ready to throw my hands up and buy a new car when a friend recommended Jim's Auto Detail. I decided to give them a try, and I'm SO glad I did! I took the time to fix the clogged drain myself, which turned out to be a relatively inexpensive fix, and then Jim's worked their magic. In less than 48 hours, my SUV looked brand new! There was no mold, no mildew, and absolutely no lingering odor. It was sparkling clean--honestly, no one would ever know that this vehicle had been sitting in that condition for five years. The employees were honest, professional, and incredibly helpful, and their prices were EXCELLENT. Thanks to Jim's, I didn't need to buy a new car, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be a customer for life and highly recommend Jim's Auto Detail to anyone who wants quality work, fair pricing, and people you can trust!

    Today, I went to Jim's Detail Shop to get a machine polish for my car…read more I was told that the polish would remove the water spots on both the paint and the glass. The service cost me $200. However, after the polishing was done, I noticed that the water spots were still clearly visible. I'm not sure if they even properly polished the car, as the entire process took only about an hour for the whole vehicle. I'm very disappointed, and I feel like I did not get the service I paid for.

    This is the final review in my CarToys series, again, look for my Southcenter review for the…read moredetails, but let's jump in. About 2017, I ended up here and several failed services and upgrades. The manager of this location claimed to know me and my situation as he was an employee in Bellevue while I was a customer there. I didn't remember him, but I also primarily dealt with the Shop and Store manager, so it was clear we didn't have a history. However, based on my Bellevue experience, I was confident I would be taken care of. Spent a few hours here, they acknowledge that they could hear something that didn't sound right, but they couldn't identify it. At that point, I left defeated and for the next 8 years, I didn't listen to a lick of music in this car, because it seriously angered me. I became a dedicated Podcast listener and even the podcast sounded like a transistor radio. Finally in 2025, I went to Waves in Olympia and within a hour, the owner came out to the waiting area to inform me that my stereo was out of phase, he made the appropriate adjustments and when he played me music, it was like a lullaby. Half of me wanted to cry and the other half wanted to sleep. Anybody can connect a wire, but when you deal with electronics, there are other elements at play like phase, signal strength, power and fidelity. This is why places like Waves exists. CarToys has proven to be the Supercuts on car audio. As a grown man, I'd warn you about a $20 haircut and the problem with CarToys is they also charge you Gene Jaurez fees and provide you with A quality of product far below industry standard and their low review scores reflect this.

    Christian, Matt, and I forget the gentlemen that did my install were super helpful and made great…read morerecommendations. Will be back for other car needs!
