Today, our expert car detailers are going to tell you exactly what you need to consider when choosing the right detailing company for you.
Tip #1– Check Reviews
Photos can be manipulated and good marketers can always craft a pretty story, so what you really want to look at is the satisfaction of a detailer’s current and former clientele. Detail Maniac recommends checking Google reviews, Facebook reviews, and Yelp. After all, people with no vested interest in a business are a lot more likely to open up and tell you all about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
When reading through reviews, look to see if the company has worked on cars like yours before. You’ll also want to check what services they’ve provided, look for attention to detail, and a great customer experience. It’s always great when you find a reliable detailer that you can continue to go back to– and professionalism, communication, and expertise are great indicators that they’ll consistently provide superior services to you.
Tip: Deep dive into the top 5 results on Google Maps. Google generally recommends trustworthy local detailers by looking at positive reviews. If you don’t find the right fit immediately, keep looking! Your dream detailer might just live further away so they didn’t quite make the top 5 in your area, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re any less talented or dedicated.
Tip #2– Professional Website
Once the reviews have given you the low down on the company, you’ll want to visit their website and verify that they’re professional, experienced, and have the resources needed to do the job right. Check to make sure they’re a credible company by looking at their certifications and specialties, news sources and directories where they’ve been recognized for their work, and proof of the work they’ve completed.
This is also a great opportunity to see if they offer the services you’re looking for, who you’ll be working with, what awards they’ve won, and what sets them apart from other local detailers.
Bonus: Since California has been heavily affected by droughts since 2000, it’s a huge benefit if detailers utilize waterless carwash technology or have developed a minimal water waste washing system.
Tip #3– Full-Service Car Detailing & Paint Protection Coatings
A basic car detailing job generally includes an exterior wash, claying, polishing, waxing, interior cleaning, and tire treatments. The whole process can take a few hours, but it’s great for general maintenance. Rest assured, detailing will keep your car fresh and your paint job gleaming.
However, if you paid a lot for your car or are just a car enthusiast, you may want to invest in professional-grade coatings like Opti-Coat, PPF, Suntek Clear Bra film, or some other form of paint protection. You may also elect to get more custom cleaning services like steaming, a paint touch-up, windshield repairs, and more. If that stuff is important to you, make sure you hire a company equipped to do it correctly.
Tip #4– Car Detailing Customer Service
Big detailing jobs can take a while to get done. If your car is the only one you have to drive or it just happens to cost more than your kid’s college education, then you want to know what kind of progress is happening. Talk to your detailer about the best way to reach out for updates. You’ll also want to check reviews again to confirm that they’re telling the truth.
You can also ask around about other ways they provide excellent customer care and a one-of-a-kind detailing experience. Some things Detail Maniac has done to help our clientele include ordering a ride for our client so she could come pick up her car when she didn’t have transportation during the day, being kind and transparent to every client that walks through our shop doors, and never cutting corners.
