Just the facts.
My car:
- Nissan 350z. Very well kept, no big problem areas.
Scheduling:
- Easy enough. Bought $200 credit with tipr deal, so even though they had a bunch of cars coming in they still got me in within a week. The Seattle location estimated a month.
Staff:
- Pleasant, informative enough.
Time taken:
- 3-4 hours for a interior detail and exterior wash/wax/detail - I have a 2004 Nissan 350Z
Service:
- Windshield had many streaks and other misc. marks.
- Rear view mirror was not even touched. Quite dirty.
- Was promised carpet and seat cleaning through the tippr deal with my purchase. Upon arriving to pickup I was told my fabrics were not bad enough (this is a 2004 car, that's never had any carpet or seat cleaning) to warrant shampooing, so they just sprayed a cleaning solution and wiped off. This cleaning solution also did not seem to effect my seats too well, leaving gray 'swipe' marks all over the seats.
- There was one tiny scratch on my dash plastic above my head unit. It is now larger, as they must of thought it was surface dirt, and deeply scratched at it more, causing the blemish to grow.
- The crevices around my shifter, and the sides of my middle console were left with stains and dirt.
- My gauge pods, and other small crevices were left with dirt and cleaning residue.
- My seatbelt latch areas between the seats and the dash were not cleaned at all, still stained with soda and other residue.
- Metal seat braces/sliders under the seat were not cleaned at all.
- Pull out cup-holder was not touched, still very dirty.
- Exterior crevices and door/trunk borders (where the trunk meets when closed and such) were only moderately cleaned. Pollen and other stuck on dirt was left in abundance.
- Tires were cleaned and polished well.
- Exterior clay bar to remove tar/bugs/etc was done well. My front bumper was a mess with stuck on debris and they got it all off.
- Exterior wax was done quite well. Quality of the wax is negligible, but it looks pretty good.
I paid $65 for $200 worth of services on Tippr - If this wash and wax was really $65 from Dereks, I would give it 4/5 stars. Sitting at nearly $200, it's lucky to get 2/5. The points only really being gathered from the exterior cleaning and detail of the car. The interior was quite poor, and I would have never paid $200 for this level of service.
2 Stars - ""Meh. I've experienced better.""
