    It was last minute but I stopped in to have my work car detailed. They did such a nice job! The vehicle was sent through the car wash and was then dried off. I then pulled around to the detail area and two people were assigned the car. They vacuumed everything, cleaned the seats and dash board. The vehicle was so clean and smelled like a new car. The total cost was $85 and then I gave them a tip. The parking area is tight but I would take advantage of this business because they did an excellent job. The employees are fast and hard working!

    Love this lil' spot, always does the job at a fair price. My car always comes out of this place looking fresh. Ray (the manager) will always ensure you leave this place satisfied with their service. Check 'em out, Austin!

    This is typical of the uneven job they did

    I brought my car here and got the top cleaning package since it hadn't had a clean since the pandemic started. The guy swore it would only take an hour and 25 minutes. We are going on two and a half hours now and I am still waiting. Don't bring your car here, but if you do ask me first why it's a terrible idea. You'll find me sitting on the bench outside, still waiting for my freaking car, and I'll be happy to explain in glorious detail why you should leave immediately. UPDATE: They finished my car! They took the car seats out and didn't put them back in, leaving it to me. When I came up to the guy, I was obviously pretty pissed. He didn't apologize, all he could muster was an indignant, "I did 75% of the job myself." WTF? First, no he didn't, because he was the guy admitting new cars so I know he didn't spend two hours and fifteen minutes working on my car. Also, when I complained about how long this was taking 45 minutes earlier he said he'd jump in and help out himself to make it go faster, which he didn't do because five minutes later I found him back admitting cars. So instead of a genuine apology all I got was a self-serving, indignant lie. That's how they treat customers here. Don't go here. UPDATE UPDATE: Wow, they did a crap job. Uneven cleaning, spots on the interior, and now a blue stain that wasn't there before on the driver side near the windshield. Also they didn't add the lemon scent I asked for. Instead it smells like barf. They made my car smell like barf. I paid for this? UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Fun story, but when I complained earlier that it was taking too long the guy was like, "Our estimates aren't precise, sometimes it take a little longer". An hour and fifteen extra is not a "little longer", bro. That's you don't know what you're talking about so you just make stuff up. UPDATE^4: The woman who runs the front counter did an amazing job at not being the least bit helpful.

The staff assured me they'd be careful and that it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, the emblem was broken anyway. Now I'm looking at $100+ to replace it directly through Ford. That's not a small ask for something that was explicitly flagged and promised to be avoided. I don't think it was malicious, and the staff was friendly throughout. But when a customer flags a specific concern and gets a direct assurance, the expectation is that it gets communicated to whoever is doing the work. That handoff clearly didn't happen here. Hopefully this is useful feedback for the team. I'd just caution others with sensitive trim or emblems to keep that in mind before booking.

They broke something in the car. 2. The detail itself was sloppy -- half the marks inside and out were still there when we picked it up, despite specifically asking for a thorough job. 3. Their posted price inside the building is $165. They charged us $220 with no explanation for the upcharge. 4. They quoted 2 hours. It took 3. Won't be returning.

    Rafael, I have made…read moreseveral good-faith attempts to resolve this matter directly with you regarding the damage to my Porsche key that occurred while my vehicle was in your care. Immediately after the service, the key was found to have water inside it. I returned to the car wash the same day, showed you the key, and you observed the water yourself. You mentioned that you would review your cameras and get back to me. Since then, I have provided you with Porsche's inspection, the repair estimate, and the dealership's video documenting the damage. Despite multiple text messages and phone calls, I have not received any meaningful response or resolution. The cost to replace the damaged key is $800. I am requesting reimbursement of $800 within 7 days of this message. Payment can be made by any mutually agreed upon method. If I do not receive payment or hear from you within that time, I will proceed with filing a claim in Texas Justice Court (small claims court) without further notice. I will also seek reimbursement for any court filing fees and other costs allowed by law. I would still prefer to resolve this amicably and avoid legal action. Please contact me within the next seven days so we can close this matter. Alex Ruiz

    I was a member for about three months and visited around 10 times. Pricing is competitive, but the…read moreservice issues far outweigh that. On multiple visits, I watched staff drive customer cars recklessly -- flooring the gas on a cold engine before it had a chance to warm up. When I asked one attendant to stop, he told me he was 16 years old. I have real concerns about who's operating expensive vehicles here and whether there's any real training or supervision. They also lost my car key during a visit. I found it myself, sitting in a puddle of water on top of the engine, inches from falling into the engine bay. It hasn't worked reliably since. When I raised this, staff couldn't communicate with me in English and nothing was done about it. The final straw: I was yelled at by an attendant while pulling in, then told to pull forward -- directly into the path of another attendant who was pulling a customer's Porsche out of a stall. Had I followed the instruction, I would have hit that car. This is a serious safety and management failure. I've canceled my membership and can't recommend this place. Between the lost/damaged key, unsafe driving of customer vehicles, and staff who told me directly they were underage, I'd steer clear.
