A car detail is a big investment of time and money, but my car needed it, so when I saw the Living Social deal, I splurged. I upgraded and paid extra to get the full detail, interior and exterior, which would normally be about $250, I guess; with the LS deal I paid $200 total.\r
The high school kids with a car wash fundraiser would have done a better job. All my windows were totally streaky to the point that when the sun was out the next day, I couldn't even see through them. Parts of the windows had huge spots that had been missed. Dashboard display panel was also totally streaky, like they took a dirty rag and just rubbed it around. Rear console was completely missed, so I still have my daughter's juice and cracker mix in the cup holders back there. Awesome. Also missed were the rear view mirror and the panoramic glass sunroof, not even touched. There were white spots of (Armorall?) splashed all over my side mirrors, and spots of it all over my interior windshield. There were literally puddles of cleaner inside my front console. Floor mats were tossed in the rear hatch completely soaked. Their exterior detail promised to buff out scratches; I have some small scuffs on my rear bumper that could be EASILY buffed out, and those were ignored.\r
Additionally, my Starbucks gift card and some cd's mysteriously vanished. Even awesomer.\r
It's like they sold so many Living Social deals that they just want to get hurry up and get everyone in, rather than doing a great job and attracting repeat business. Maybe that's why they run deals so often?\r
So I wrote them an email, still waiting to hear back. I'll keep you posted on what their response is, but if it means I'm going to have to take the time to go back there while they re-do what they effed up, forget it, I'm too busy. I'll do it myself. Awesomest of all.
