I can not say enough good things. I took in an old '04 SUV that had a lot of stains on the seats and it came back looking like it was fresh off a showroom in 2004. They were professional and reasonably priced. Services: Cleaning, Seat shampooing, Auto detailing, Auto interior vacuuming, Full body wash

We were getting ready to sell our extra truck and since it's been used as a construction/work truck the last 2 years it was a MESS! I wish I had taken before photos because we were blown away with the results. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We dropped the truck off in the morning and had it back at the end of the day. We will absolutely be returning to get our other vehicles detailed here in the future.

Holy Toledo Batman! I did not expect my late model car to come back so amazingly clean. I did not think it was possible. This was a fantastic detail job at a very affordable price I will definitely be back and highly recommend the shop to anybody.

My Subaru Forester has light colored cloth seats. A friend accidentally spilled chocolate milkshake on the passenger seat and it also splashed on the inside passenger door panel. Backseat held my granddaughters' child seats. When they snack in the car, they spill. Yuk! I tried to clean it up myself. Thought I did ok. Over time.the staining got worse. That was over a year ago. I was embarrassed to give anyone a ride anywhere! So. in a nutshell.after taking my car in for interior detailing yesterday.
I came home with what looks like a brand new car. They were pleasant and obviously efficient. I am a review writer. I will let you know how I feel about service, cost, etc. The total bill was $200 plus a little change. One of the best 'investments' I've ever made! Need a ride?
