Wow, I wish I had before and after pics. Those alone would have spoke volumes and made a customer…read moreout of everyone. My tan upholstery has gone through many spills and unknown stains mostly from the last 8 years of my daughter. I use to go to Russell Speeder's for years and years and most of the stains they could never get out.
Well Friday, I took my daughter to the movies and on the way home, she spilled my soda, a full large one at that, I drove to Russell Speeder's to which they wouldn't take me because they said they stop taking detailing at 5 and I was there at 455. So I drove off then pulled over and looked up detailing and East Hartford Carwash was the next on the list and it said they were open until 6. So I called and Dennis answered the phone, I believe he is the owner. He offered to look at the car and do a spot cleaning but couldn't do a full cleaning because it would take several hours. I was a bit surprised it took that long because my experience at Russel Speeders is, 30 minutes if there are no cars in front of you. Dennis explained it is because he has an actual carpet shampooer for cars and goes through the car front to back, not just the upholstery but also the carpeting. So I opted to wait until the next day to drop my car off to him. Dennis called when my car was done but due to an emergency that occurred in my family I was not able to get my car until today which was fine with Dennis.
Well when I got their today to pick up my car, Dennis said their were some tough areas throughout the car but he did the best he could, well I was expecting to see the same stains remaining prior to the soda incident that brought me to him just like when I would leave Russel Speeder's. Well let me tell you, when I opened up my car door, I was taken aback and thought I was in the wrong car. Almost all of the stains in the entire car, front to back, top to bottom, were GONE!!! My car has not looked that good since before my daughter was born 8 years ago.
Ok, now that I looked around more, not only did Dennis get out almost all of the stains in my entire car but he cleaned the entire car, dash, doors, console, detail wash the exterior, etc. He did a complete detail on my car and when it came time to pay, the price he quoted me over the phone, was the price I paid, there were no up charges for the extra work he did to get out the stains, there was no up charge for cleaning the dash, doors, console, nooks, cranny's etc. It was simply the charge he quoted me over the phone.
Now when you drive up to Russell Speeder's for detailing, you can select either upholstery or carpet for one charge, if you want both their is an up charge, if you want both plus dash doors etc, their is more up charges and if you want a wash, etc more up charges. And after all these up charges you end up with a car that still shows all the stains that you came in with and you pay 300% more than you will when you go to EH Carwash.
Ok, now EH Carwash is a diamond in the rough and a book that shouldn't be judged by it's cover. When you pull up, you will see a smaller building with two bays, one for the car washing and the other for the detailing. I was a bit surprised when I pulled up at first, thinking this isn't going to come out good but I had to get my car done and for the price he quoted me, it was worth the try.
EH Carwash is simple but amazing and this is how they can keep their costs down. They don't have a huge building with a lot of overhead that drives costs up. They are simple hard working individuals who take PRIDE in their work.
Thank you East Hartford Carwash, you have a customer and a word of mouth advertiser for LIFE!!!!
