Visit their website, it looks like they are not detaling anymore, and only doing mobile tinting and chip protection. If find this very odd. http://www.downtownautospa.com/ |

That's what you get for doing work with 19 year old kids with busted ass Camry's who do as much as they can to ruin your rep
If I had a high end detailing place I would only accept high end clients
Then again, I'm probably just drunk and talking out of my ass! Haha!

LOL, wtf? They stop detailing cars now? Winter is around the corner and that's when everyone gets their cars washed at detailing places.

Only a few ROOGP are left on RS as most of the ROOGP got fed up of the BS that the new breed of Post Whores are putting up in here. | | |

detailing pretty much anyone can get the tools to do it.. chip protection, you need a plotter/cutter + the latest templates.. so guess which one has a higher profit margin?
in the end, it is a business

in the end, it is a business | Yes, it's a business and they're free to follow whatever business model they choose. However, while they started out pretty well, their PR with much of the automotive enthusiast community has been less than stellar. I can't get into a lot of detail (har har) but there have been plenty of unhappy customers knocking on their door that, unless they were pushed and prodded and forced to, they simply ignored.
A business in this field is only as successful as your reputation is.

I'm so glad I never bought gift certs from them..... They seemed so promising when they first started off. Good info, good prices, and constantly posting to keep in touch with customers and potential customers.
Money goes straight to the head sometimes...

avoid them like plague. I got my 3m clear bra installed by the OWNER himself and it still sucks, I need to reschedule a time to redo it before they forget I was once their client.  | |

I actually have to give them props.
Without them I would never have learned how to properly detail my car on my own and do a great job doing it by avoiding their practices and techniques.

They had it coming, that place was such a fuckin joke. A real house of horrors for your car
I paid almost $300 for a job I could've done better myself. Really made me realize how much DIY is worth.
Thanks for opening my eyes Down Town Autospa
