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!

This attended car wash and valet service has been in operation for quite a few years now. It is…read moresituated in a good area for business purpose as it is just off a junction which is access for several towns and villages in the Ards peninsula . It is very reasonable costing £5 for a wash and wax and it is always a very thorough job which is never rushed and door sills are always cleaned which for lady drivers is very important!. They also do steam cleaning for MOTand PSV checks. The car wash is operated by two people which makes it quick and efficient when there is a line if cars waiting which is common on a Saarurday. Opening hours are 9-5 Monday to Saturday which suites mist people. All in all its hard to beat this car wash , so if you live in the area or maybe out for a day trip you might wish to avail your car of this service and wash off all the muck from our lovely country roads .

Extreme Clean is a valet and car wash that goes the extra mile, yet another pun, I apologise…read more Anyway back to business, Extreme Clean is located at a crossroads between Bangor and Donaghadee, this means they get plenty of passing cars stopping in for a polish. It is also useful if you are with toddler who is petrified of the usual petrol station car wash machines, as it is all manual. Extreme Clean offer a car wash for £5 which is good value and they will give your car, van or lorry a coat of wax for an extra pound. One extra little thing they do is clean the inside of your doors and your alloys. I must admit that I was a little bit worried that I was going to get soaked when the attendant reached for the door handle, all those childhood super soaker moments came flooding back, but to my surprise I stayed bone dry and the inside of the door looked nice and shinny. The service was excellent, the wash took 5 minutes and the car was gleaming, we even splashed out on a coat of wax. Big spenders eh? The one other thing I learned about this business is that it sells gift vouchers far all its services including valet. So why not show someone how much you love/hate them by treating them to the ultimate car wash experience.

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.

I used the service recently for a valet, both interior and exterior. The service isn't cheap but…read moreseems to be in line with other companies operating in the area. I left my car with the attendant and got a call after about an hour and a half telling me it was ready (good service!). I had a good look over the car when I got home and was disappointed to find that most of the interior work promised on the website had not been done (if it had, it was to such a poor standard that it wasn't noticable). The dashboard hadn't been wiped or cleaned, the interior glass was still smudged and the door rims were still muddy. Pretty basic stuff I thought, and my car wasn't even that messy! The carpets had been well hoovered, so that was a plus. The exterior work was okay, about what you'd get from a standard car wash. Unfortunately, the dead bugs hadn't been completely removed from the front end and the wing mirrors hadn't been touched. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing experience and I wouldn't use the place again. However, I know many people in the North Down area swear by Nice 'N Clean, so maybe I just caught them on a bad day!

What these guys have worked out is that a lot of people usually feel the same way as me. So they have set up one of the quickest and most thorough car washing services in the city. It is also pretty cheap if you just want a wash and dry, costing £5. However, Eurohand has many other services ranging from an MOT wash (£10) all the way up to a full valet (£50), so they will definitely have something to suit your requirements. You often see taxi drivers using the valet service, so they must do a great job.

My fiancé was moaning at me to get his car to a valet for him as it was in a state. I've had my car…read more3 years and never valet it so I didn't know where to go. All I knew was that there were a few wee places about and that if I went to the one near the park I could combine walking the dog with the valet so I decided to use this small valet service near our local park. When I rolled up the place was empty and there seemed to be just one man smoking at the gate. This guy greeted me very cheerily and was of eastern European decent. I'm not sure how good his English was as I was babbling on about never having done this before and how long would it take and what will it cost etc while he just kept shouting 'you want mini valet, £12.00?' I wasn't sure if he was asking or telling so I just agreed. I parked the car and suddenly there were about five people watching my every move. I felt massively undignified as I tried to get the dog on its lead while getting out of the car in a short skirt and handing over the keys all at the same time. Needless to say I looked like an idiot and they were all sniggering at my state. As I hobbled off trying to compose myself the main guy told me to be back in 30 minutes. Toby and I had a lovely walk and when I returned they were just finishing off. The tyres were clean and the bodywork was gleaming. Though I have to say I don't think it was the best valet. There were a few areas they missed and the carpet had a big damp patch on it, but, they were quick, convenient for me and cheap enough so it will do. I'd probably give them 7 out of 10 for the overall job done and for £12.00 it wasn't bad at all.

Hardford Link Service Station is probably the best located (and busiest) station in Newtownards…read more The large Spar stocks a huge selection of food from Ben and Jerry's ice-cream to tinned soup. It also sells the local 'Mash Direct' range (e.g. fresh champ, mash and cabbage) which is great for making a 'cheat's' Sunday dinner. There is quite a lot of fruit and vegetables on sale for a local garage, however on occasions they have appeared to look quite dried out and lacklustre which is disappointing. Similarly although there is a good range of bouquets, at times they are equally as limp and withered. My top tip would be to pay a visit as early in the morning as possible to ensure the freshest quality. Speaking of early mornings, this is also the best (and more than likely the only time) to visit the elusive Streat deli- which I've generally found to be shut more times than it is open. This really is a shame, as they have a great selection of fresh baguettes/pastries and stock the delicious Glastry farm ice-cream. However the Spar sells a huge range of pre-packed sandwiches and salads, which makes up for the apparent lack of a deli....kind of. There is also a Tim Horton's donut and coffee section- a haven for caffeine junkies like myself. I have found in recent months that Spar is morphing into Poundland- with shelves of toiletries and drinks priced at (you've guessed it) one pound! Definitely useful if you're planning a last-minute road-trip. There is also a self-service jet car wash within the premise's grounds, as well as a Cash and Carry coal store and ATM. A Winemark store is located in close proximity, selling wine, beer and spirits at reasonable rates. In the countdown to occasions such as Christmas, a range of giftsets are available and there are also impromptu wine-tasting events within the store.
