I took my Conversion van in to be detailed at FGD on March 9, 2019. We had just purchased it and it was clean when I brought it in. The previous owner had smoked in it and we wanted it steamed cleaned, washed, waxed & detailed. Price quoted $160. I picked up the van on Friday, 3/11. Michael was still working on it when we arrived, hence it was in a garage stall where the lighting wasn't the best. He told us that the carpet was still wet and we would need to keep it in a garage that night with the windows cracked so it would finish drying. Only about 12 inches were cleaned at the back of the van. The reason I know that is that nothing was moved underneath the couch and there was a box under the coach next to where the "VERY" wet carpet was. When I mentioned it wasn't good to have that box on the carpet that was wet, he said it was OK. If the carpet had been done that box would have been soaked and you would have seen it had been wet. It was a box of brand new brake pads.) We followed his instructions and the next morning, Saturday, I went out to look the van over and to start moving our things in. While the step wells were "Armor-Alled" and the leather seats were wiped down with some "leather conditioner", I found MANY things that were NOT done. I showed up at his shop on Monday morning. He pulled in and I was right behind him. I told Michael that we had a problem. I started to show him all the things that I found. He kept accusing me of wanting "New", I told him "No, I just wanted it clean - that's what I paid for!" After wiping off the top of the inside of a door and seeing the dirt, he told me to bring it back the next day (Tuesday) and he would take care of it. I showed up the next morning. He had not arrived yet, so my husband & I waited. He showed up and we left the van. I picked it back up at 4:30, he was not there and took it home. Again, I started to move our things into the van and went over it and his "fixes" were very shoddy. See the pictures below. I tried to load a video of wiping down the dash next to the windshield but the file is too large. Just that one video would have said it all. At any rate, I will never go back to FDG/Michael. He did an absolute HORRIBLE job and is not a man of his word. Also, if you notice the two 5 star reviews were done in 2016 & 2017. The 1 star review was in 2018 and mine in 2019. Do yourself a favor, do it yourself and treat yourself to a steak dinner! read more

See all

I just had my sedan detailed here. They did a great job, and I the price was very reasonable. My husband and son will be taking their cars in next week. I feel like I'm driving a new car! read more

Nope. Nope. Nope. What kind of twank puts slick slippery Armor-All type product on all the WeatherTech floor mats? Cheap wax product: the finish stopped beading rainwater three weeks after the detail. They also couldn't be bothered to raise the hood of the Wrangler to wax the painted surfaces. Found unbuffed-out wax product on rocker panels, around door handles, around hood scoop and behind snorkle. They didn't bother to wash around license plate holder (could've unscrewed it and done a really good job but NOOOOOOOOOOOO.) Requested they buff wheels and was told 'I've been doing this for a lot longer than you so you let me decide what to do where.' I wanted to like this place but too many shortcuts, cheap products and no attention to detail. (Pun intended.) And again, what kind of OSHA-resistant gargoyle uses a petroleum-based product like Armor-All on FLOOR MATS? Sheesh. read more

Express Oil Change in Daphne, Alabama had oversprayed the paint and windshields of my 2004 Cadillac SRX with an unknown product when they had my vehicle in their possession for three weeks. FDG detailed my SRX so well that it looks like it came off the showroom floor and even personally delivered it back to me. I highly recommend FDG for your automotive hand washing, detailing, & waxing needs. read more

Fgd Professional Detail - 2004 Cadillac SRX detailed by FGD in Fairhope, AL on 07/22/2016. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

Owner (Michael) is a really solid guy. I bought a used 4Runner and brought to him for detail. It was my first interaction with this detail shop, but at pick-up I couldn't believe my eyes. Mike is a magician. He DETAILED the exterior (wash wax compound buff) interior of every crevice (steamed all the carpets, cured the leathers) and detailed my engine bay. He also refinished my headlights and they look like NEW. He is very fair priced and friendly. I'll be taking my Range Rover to him next. read more
