I walk in and tell them that I want a complete interior,exterior and under the hood detailing. I have a 2026 Silverado ZR2 with 2000 miles on it. I used it to go snowmobiling in the mountains so it had road deicer and yellow pollen everywhere. The lady at the counter said "no problem we can do that. She never said anything else. She gave me a iPod with nothing on it but a place to sign to authorize the work. I was impressed with the guy working in the first stall which was on the other side of a glass wall. I told her that I was tired of taking my vehicles back to my old detailer two or more times to get what they missed the first time. I picked my truck up and she really emphasized the wheels, tires and wheel wells. I noticed that my factory side steps still had sporadic sand still on them. She said that due to the ruff surface that sometimes that won't completely come off. The truck looked good so I signed a blank iPad with signature spot showing only. After that I paid and got a receipt. It wasn't until I got home that I saw the terrible job under my hood. I opened my tailgate and nothing in the bed or 3piece tailgate had been touched. I called and left a message with my concerns. I was contacted before 8am the next by a gentleman. He said they don't do inside the box. WTF? Nothing was ever said about that! That made me go over my truck with a fine tooth comb. The only shampooing done on my carpet was the drivers floorboard around the factory clear plastic protector under the floor mat. Nowhere else. Ver evident because that was the only spot damp. Their website advertised supercar meetups once a month etc. That may be the case. It is GigHarbor. They seem to have the old guy behind the glass as a marketing tool. It worked on me. I didn't even notice the group of guy standing around 4 bays down. They are really who does the work or attempts to. The owner on his call did say to bring it back and he would see what he could do. I didn't because I didn't want to waste half a day screwing around so I didn't go back. He said he would do better the next time I have them detail it. Do they drug test the owners?. I pressure washed my side steps,under my hood and in the box myself. Over $500 for crap work. I think that's to cover that Gig Harbor overhead not the quality of their work. I would never recommend or go back to them. Here's some pictures to back up what I'm saying.

We transport our 80lbs Doberman in it and there are stains from him all over, I was really hoping they come remove some of the stains and hair and they got it all. They were upfront saying they did not know if they could remove them too. They were on time, very communicative about the process and called us when it was completed. I thought the price was in line with what they offered and I would definitely come back again. They also offer a wide range of services too, window tint, engine cleaning (which I also had completed) and ceramic coating (** If you have newer car this is a must, I have had the last four or five vehicles done and after 10 years my Grand Cherokee paint looked new). Check them out if you need your car to look new inside and out.

Compared to other car washes I've been to, this location felt a bit slower in processing the line, which could use some improvement. That said, the free vacuum area was super handy, especially for clearing out some trash I'd been putting off. I do wish the summer hours were extended a bit; it gets dark late, and it'd be nice to swing by after dinner. Overall, not bad just a few tweaks could make it much better. JY review
