Description of service

The car detailer washed the outside and dried it to prevent spotting. They also wet-vacced the cloth interior because of spills. They vacummed the inside and wiped down all of the surfaces for dust. They cleaned the tires and used a product to make the tires shine as well as cleaning the rims for break dust. They cleaned the grill for bugs and other debris. The inside was spotless as well as the outside. They also cleaned the underacrriage of mud and debris and washed the engine and components to insure that the whole system functions properly.


Review of Service

The service was great. They provide you a place to wait while they take their time and do the job right. I have small kids so the backseat is always full of crumbs and stains. They left the interior looking brand new and the windows were so clean that you couldn't tell if they were up or down. The price is reasonable for the amount of time that a service like this can save you and the added value to your vehicle if you want to trade or sell it by keeping it in very clean condition. Also, if you live in a rural area that gets muddy the undercarriage will need to be cleaned more frequently.


Tips

Ask for prices up front, also some offer on site services like coming to your house or job to detail the car.
