My car desperately needed to be cleaned, and despite good intentions to do it some weekend, it never happened, so I took it in here last week at lunchtime. They do a mini valet for £10 - there were three of them working on it at once so it was turned around really quickly! I got the interior hoovered and windows cleaned, and a full exterior wash plus tire gloss. Totally worth the tenner!

I had planned to go to the local valet near to me, but I happened to be driving past this car wash in Newtownabbey and decided to call in as it was on my way. I got my car seen to after no more than about 10 minutes, and it only cost me £16 for the full works. My car was like brand new, the staff were super friendly, and were really keen to make sure I was happy with everything before I paid.

USA Car Wash is fantastic, as mentioned I go for a Mini Valet which will set you back £10 (+£1 for wax) for this you get the full exterior of the car washed (including wheel cleaning). they then get you out of the car and give it a good hoover and wipe down the dash and upholstery. The staff are fantastic here, there's absolutely zero messing about. You pull up, they beckon you in to an area and they get to work - a mini valet takes 15 minutes maximum and you'll be impressed with how thorough they are. One thing to think about is how busy this place is - The Shore Road itself is a busy road so the car wash obviously gets a lot of business. I'd avoid peak times (Saturdays/Sundays are rammed). It's cash only too so make sure you visit an ATM before hand (there's one at ASDA opposite).

Ok I'm being irritatingly cynical and pedantic but describing the ins and outs of a car park is a bit like trying to write a thesis on polishing your coffee table - you're going to run out of things to say. After that little preamble I will say that this is a long running underground car park which has served my folks well when they've been parking in the city. Although not cheap it's considerably cheaper than the nearby Victoria Square park where only those wearing Breitling watches with their accompanying Bentleys can afford to stay.

I contacted PMG to help me restore my Mercedes C200 Coupe. The car had some age related rust in the…read morewheel arches and panel corners. They agreed to arrange for the body work, to have the alloys recoated and finally for a full 'PMG -Detail' which was meant to leave the car absolutely spotless and in perfect order. We discussed numerous details and I asked them to leave nothing undone - everything that could be done, should be. Unfortunately, this arrangement did not work out very well. It started with delays, my car was to be done in two weeks. It took three. Nothing else was done but the body work - I cannot speak to the quality of their polishing the paintwork because I was not allowed to see it before they started. The car was painted and the paint job is ok. The wheels look fine, although they increased the cost 25%, mid-job, even though I made no alterations. I paid a very fair sum for this work, it was no favour. The supposed 'detailing' for which I approached them in the first place - was terrible. There is so much dirt left in and on the car, no attention to detail, it was definitely cleaner when I left it with them initially. They 'polished' under the bonnet using some shiny oil, but left grime on most of the painted surfaces. It wasn't even power washed well. They changed the reg plate surrounds - but installed the rear one very badly and it came apart right after driving away. They destroyed the Mercedes badge on the boot and I'll have to get it replaced. None of the requests we agreed at the start were done, despite my numerous communications and their confirmation that it would all be 'no problem'. I sought to get this all rectified, but they've continuously lied and let me down on every aspect. I had arranged with them for the window tinting - which they never got done - and they quoted £150, of course I just rang the company they claim to use and was told it would cost £80. They've also kept the USB port I supplied for installation into the car - despite my requesting it's return... apparently 'they can't find it now'. (The item was eventually returned, after I had replaced it myself.) Clearly my car was not a priority and not given the care and attention apparently lavished on other clients. I'll not be speaking with PMG again or referring anyone there at all.

On collecting the car it was better than new (and I would know as I bought it new). The paintwork was flawless and the gloss from it was unbelievable. I was under no illustration that what I was asking for wasn't cheap but Pete and his team offer an exceptional service and I believe are reasonably priced. I will be using again without a doubt.

And then some - you would have thought you were getting back a brand new car it was so clean and fresh. Of course it didn't last long in that perfect condition, but it was never as bad as it was before I can tell you! They were reasonable in price for the detailed job they did, and if you need the underside of your car steam cleaned for MOT, they do that too. They are very busy most of the time, so you need to get organised if you want booked in.

It is definitely not the nicest or stock the best food or groceries, or even offer the best services. But if you lived in east Belfast I cant think of a filling station that is better value. You'll find it has most of the goodies, drinks, household items and magazines that you would expect it to have. In the past they have had a couple of thefts in the shop from some youths with nothing better to do and at the counter where you pay they have some pictures taken form CCTV footage of youths stealing. I used to enjoy jokingly enquiring every week how the investigation was progressing!!! At the end of the day, most of us need petrol. For me I like to pay as little as I can when i fill up.

You can always get a pint of milk in this one, but most certainly not anything healthy like fresh fruit or vegetables, but really, that's fair enough for a filling station first and foremost.
