They Suck!!!!!!
A full valet is sposed to be a full clean inside outside engine polish and all that good stuff but no!! 2 carwash companies I used didn't even do halve of that... I simply refused to pay the full price for a half ass job!
Anything happened to you like this before?
They do all that at a car wash? Over here its only detailing shops that do all that (and I don't quite know about the engine polish), and you'd pay quite a bit to get all that done... about $200-300 and up at a decent detail shop around Seattle. I know Cali and FL should be cheaper cause its always warm and there are many more detail shops. 8). More shops = more competition = lower prices.
Yes they do... we don't have a specialised Detailing shops over here. not do we have "rollers" to wash the cars... don't know why though ;-)
Maybe not enough market yet. Or nobody picked up the idea. You should look into it, since there is no competition this could be a perfect time to start a good car washing/detailing business. 8)
Sounds like an idea what is a detailing shop about what is there main "thingy"?Quote:

The price depends on a vehicle size and the services requested. They also do "ionizing" (I think that's what it's called) when they shoot some stuff through the A/C system and let it cycle in the car where it kills all the smells by killing the bacteria that causes it.
Some shops give you a loaner car to drive while they do it, it's usually covered with advertisements for the place that's detailing your car. That's their "free" advertisement".
that's basically what our normal car washes do.. except for that "ionizing" thing that's something I should get to know more about... then I can sell the tools and knowledge to every single car wash in SA and be rich... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Just Google it. :D Maybe you get some good info that way.Quote:

A general car wash which is.

I wash my car by myself 90% of the time cause i dont trust a car wash. i found a very good car wash in roodepoort though.
In cape town i cant find a single soul who can wash my car like i do. and i sure as hell won't pay somebody to do it.
