This place has changed hands many times and has had very variable quality over the years. I had an interior detail completed last week and was pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out. The price was on the higher end, $250 for a full interior on my small Subaru, but my seats were in rough shape and I wanted it done ASAP so I was fine with proceeding. Jessi was our detailer and she was lovely! She truly did an excellent job.

In garage so the "outer" new coat drys and doesn't get dust/particles that attach to it (better pics to come from my new detailer)

Horrible company- i went here with my truck 3 tomes not really knowing any better and they sucked me into the clay bar hand detailing with all the add on packages. I have been noticing the "micro swirls" of scratching on the paint you really have to stare at to notice but none The less - Well find out from true car detailer that those brush car washes are the reason for the swirls as they micro scratch you paint from the whipping brushes ! Needless to say i took it and spent $550 for paint restoration, and re-coating of my protector layer by adding a new thicker layer that is better for your vehicle. this is way more protective, and also in this price was the complete interior detail, engine detail , rims , and the plastic on outside if my truck was restored - The best part is the inside interior came in that price also and it looks better then it did when it came out the dealership! No joke besides from removing the entire seats to get between them he did every crack !! Michael- Next Level Detail ! Look him up !! He is mobile and a small company that has 5 stars online and i see why . He amazed me with his prices and his work ethic.

Poor vacuum job

I went in with a car charger and left without one. You figure out what happened there. I was hesitant to go to Francis & Sons because they've done a poor job in the past. I thought I'd give it another shot today since it was convenient with where I was going. As usual they did a poor job and on top of that my phone charger mysteriously disappeared. I've never had issues with theft like this before so maybe I was too trusting leaving things in my car. I had tucked my charger in the console right before dropping the car off and when I went to get it back out it was gone. It's cheap, whatever, but still frustrating. Anyway, I will not be NOT be giving them another shot in the future.

Rims still dusty and don't seem wiped.

Quick and clean. Had a pretty big scrape on my right side skirt that I didn't even notice, probably from hitting something on the freeway. They offered to buff it out and did it within a very reasonable time frame. The over all wash was pretty good, a couple of spots that were missed but i was in there close to closing so maybe they were just rushing to get home a bit. I paid $40 dollars for them to buff it out, just bought the car so the idea of it already being messed up scared me a little so I went ahead and asked them to buff out that scrape. Now that I think about it it probably took them 3 minutes to buff it out so a little over priced. $20 dollars would've been more reasonable. Overall experience I was happy they were so fast and did a better job than most car washes I've been to.

I have to say, I am not one to give bad reviews but this one was totally warranted. With that said, let's continue. I drove in and asked for a basic car wash and mentioned the banner for the $4 off. He said "sorry you already missed it because it ended at 11:00AM and it's 11:09AM". He went on saying that "that's for the early birds and your not an early bird". That started frustrating me right then. I told that's fine and I understood. That's when the pushing extra services started. He wanted to "wash" my tires for $3 and my head lights for extra money. Like, what? I continually said no to everything and kept asking for the basic wash. It went back and forth for awhile but he finally relented. After then he then asked me if I was selling my car and that if I was that he would buy it. Asking me to buy my car at this place seems super unprofessional. After that fiasco, another employee ran me down as I went into the lobby and said he wanted to talk to me about my windshield. I told him I am aware of the crack of the windshield and I was already getting it taken care of and I'm just getting a car wash today. He continued to follow me as I walked into the lobby asking about my insurance provider and they work with all of them. I had to keep telling him no and then I told him that I will not be talking to him any further about this. All I wanted was a car wash! It seems like this place desperate for business because they are trying to take advantage of customers and pushing them to pay for extra services that they don't need or want. It could be they are struggling so they force employees to be pushy and create and negative experience for customers. That is what their behavior tells me. The car wash itself is basic and there isn't anything special about it. I'm not sure what exactly the value they are trying to bring by creating a negative customer experience when trying to get your car washed. Their are a few things that saved this from a one star review. The cashier rang me up with the $4 off discount, I really appreciated that, and I was in and out pretty quickly, about 10 minutes. *Some advice to the owners* your employees should be asking customers things like "do you know about our other services?" or "we have a deal on this service". They shouldn't be pushing customers into services that they don't want or need. Make customers feel like they matter and that you bring them value for your service so they keep coming back.

More dirt, didn't even wipe steering wheel area!

Went to have my car cleaned here today. I have been there before, & been disappointed, but decided to give them another try. BIG MISTAKE! They did a HORRIBLE job, especially with the vacuuming. After the wash when I went to get my car after it was dried, I saw the floors were awful! I showed it to the detailer & he told me to go back & ask to have it vacuumed again. They did...kinda, but then said "Its stuck in the carpet". I could see they weren't really making much of an effort to vacuum it any better, so I just said "fine" & left. After all he said the dirt was "stuck" in the carpet. All this frustration & lousy job, cost me $17.99, normally $21.99 & btw, the guy wrote I had an SUV, & they tried to charge me extra bcz of that, but I showed them my car wasn't an SUV! LOUSY, LOUSY JOB!! I feel totally ripped off!! I'd give them a ZERO if that was an option! Check out the pics below!!

Fat finger mark

Okay.. giving this place a one star because that's the only way to write a review. I paid $25 for a car wash and $15 to "fix" my windshield crack. Let's just say my car still had bird shit, soap spots all over and a a fat ass finger mark on my front windshield from where the guy just dabbed a blob of glue right in front me when he charged me $15 and made me buy him 3 bags of cookies to get cash back. To top off I had to go in and grab a rag myself to clean the inside of my car because they decided not to bother. They really finessed the fuck out of me.

A week ago my mother did me the favor of taking my Nissan Altima for a car wash. Instead of getting their basic clean, she went the extra mile and got their best wash. When she brought home the car, in my eyes, it looked worse than before. Remaining on the roof of the car was bird poop along with water stains renaming from a poorly done towel dry. The worst part was the rims. They came back with all of the dirt and grime remaining. Just a terrible service, it really just makes me more upset that they totally played my mother and told her that the grime was scratches to the rim. She tipped these lazy liars pretty well too by the way. I'm going to post a picture of the rims of how they came back to me, and then after when I took a rag to it and spent at the most 2 additional minutes to clean.

Waste of money and false advertising.

Crystal Clear Detail - Opticoat Pro Plus ceramic coating!!

Crystal Clear Detail

(56 reviews)

Took my wife's new Civic for ceramic coating and they went above and beyond. Everything looks…read moreoutstanding! Price was fair and the service was great. Highly recommended!

Bill the owner of this lovely and efficient customization and car detail shop personally answered…read moreall my questions via phone, text, and seemed to have done the window tint and ceramic coating for my 2012 SLK (talk about amazing customer service and an honor!) Bill uses high-quality materials, he used Suntek for my 30% tint and made sure it was legal to drive in California (since I'm not too well-versed in car detailing and legal window tint shades at all). For the 7-year/lifetime ceramic coating, Bill used Opticoat Pro Plus over the body of my car, which has an amazingly smooth and glossy finish. He recommended Opticoat Glass Pro ceramic coating for my windshield and windows as well (to prevent high-speed rock damages on the freeway), which I happily agreed to get. I really appreciated all of Bill's thoughtful recommendations, especially knowing the weather up in the Bay Area where I'm originally from. All of these customizations together cost $1998, which is far less than what I had been quoted by certain shops back in the Bay. Also Bill's turn around time for coating and curing the car was less than 2 days for everything, whereas I had been quoted over a week back in the Bay (and with a much longer commute from where I live!) For the quality of service, details, and kind customer service, I'd recommend any friend in Arizona to go on over and visit Bill for detailing and work - 11/10! Thanks so much for making my old gal so spotless and more resilient, even in older age!!
