Glen is hands down the best in the business. After his first complete detail of my 1971 Porsche -- a car I would let very few people touch -- I was convinced I would never use another auto detail service again. Before the detail, the paint had imperfections and the clear coat had some soap stains that had been baked in by the sun and never fully went away. After Glen's detail, the car looked 20 years newer and the flaws had nearly disappeared. It was almost unbelievable. Yesterday Glen fully detailed my Porsche 911 993 to showroom condition. Again, superb attention to detail inside and out. If you are someone who respects work ethic, attention to detail, and craftsmanship -- this is the guy you want doing your cars. Best detail I have ever had, for a great value, and with the added benefit of convenience. The quality of his work cannot be overstated. There is no opportunity for improvement, it is literally exactly what you want and more. Glen will forever be the only guy touching my personal collection of cars. He came highly recommended from another very enthusiastic member of the Winthrop Yacht Club and I am more than glad to send business his way. Thank you, Glen, looking forward to seeing you again soon. read more

See all

I can't say enough about the work glen does. Spent 8 hours on our Escalade. It now looks better than when we picked it up at the car dealership new I'm amazed. Inside and out everything is perfect thank you and I have more business for you in the near future read more

Glen made my 1990 Saab 900 SPG with faded and oxidized single stage paint look brand new! I had no idea that this car could look this good. I'm blown away. His paint correction is priced very competitively, and you get absolutely top notch service. They also detailed the interior, and it looks better than it's looked in decades! I highly recommend Glen's Auto Detailing! read more

Don't use this guy unless you want to wait 2 months to have your car detailed and then when he reschedules you get pushed out another 2-3 months. I called him in March 2014, and the earliest he could come was in June! When it was drizzling that morning (not terribly mind you and I have a covered garage but that did not interest him), I had to call him to discover that he was not planning on coming and pushed me out to August, almost six months after my original call! Nevertheless, I penned that in my calendar I had a GroupOn that was due to expire in June and fearing that I would run into trouble, I left a voice mail for him and advised him that I would seek a refund from GroupOn b/c of this but would be happy to pay him cash (at the GroupOn price), when he arrived. Mind you, he would also be getting more $ than if I had given him the GroupOn. I asked him to call me if he had an issue with this. Never heard from him. Well, tomorrow was my scheduled date for detailing and I had to call him several times to confirm his visit. When he finally picked-up, I asked if he was coming tomorrow. "Oh, he said, you cancelled your GroupOn, so I took you off the list. Go find another detailer." His exact words. Some service. :( :( read more

Made an appointment and he said he'd be here between 12 and 2. At 2:45 I left a msg. asking what was going on. To make a long story short he never showed and gave me a bunch of nonsense about not being able to find the (wrong numbered) house. I had texted him the number of the house. All he had to do was look at his text. He said he tried to call, he didn't. He told me that twice. If he couldn't make it all he had to do was reschedule instead of clearly lying to me. Stay away, this guy is full of excuses after you move your schedule around for him. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Glen's Auto. First off, Glen is the most honest man you will ever meet, something that cannot be said about most people in the car repair business. My family has been taking their cars to Glen for years, and he treats us like old friends. Whenever I have a problem (hear a noise, feel a weird vibration, anything) I call up Glen, and he takes the car almost immediately, gets back to me with what's wrong, how much it will cost, and gets it done in a matter of days. He's a small shop and does everything himself with a crew of two or three, not a car-fixing factory that will replace everything after hardly taking a moment to diagnose the problem. Example: I recent got rear ended by a drunk driver and began hearing a weird whooshing noise from the rear wheel area. I took the car to a repair shop next door to my apartment to get it diagnosed, worried about driving it all the way to Glen. The man there told me I likely had $3,000 in repairs "to do it right." He later said that the entire suspension needed to be replaced. I got out of there and made the trek to Glen, who spent a day looking it over before telling me that nothing was mechanically wrong with the car, it was just air passing through a hole in the body caused by the collision. Although Glen doesn't do body work, he bumped out the hole for me and patched it up, saving me hundreds (thousands) of dollars. This is the only Yelp post I have ever written, but I felt like Glen deserved the advertisement for being such an honest, upstanding mechanic. I highly recommend his nondescript shop to anyone in the Boston/North Shore area sick of being ripped off or in need of solid mechanical advice. Glen is your man! read more

Glen runs a mobile auto detailing business--that is, he comes to you. My office had him come out for a few different days and several of us had our cars detailed. Everyone loved his work: the cars seriously looked like new. He spent HOURS on each car. Lots of attention to detail. He obviously really loves doing this and does an excellent job. This was the first time I'd ever had a car detailed and I was worried I wouldn't think it was worth it, but it soooo was. A week later, the interior still smells pleasant and fresh, too. Glen himself is a mild-mannered, pleasant, professional, just all-around nice young guy. Highly recommended! read more

Wow, who knew my car was Candy Apple Red? Glen came to my house and brought the life back into the paint. It looks brand new. The inside is equally as nice, he cleaned every nook and cranny (and smells great, too!) Glen comes right to your home or office, anywhere there's access to water and electricity. Great service, professional, courteous, on time...very pleased with the job and will be calling him again. read more

We had Glen come to our home and detail our son's car. The car was really dirty inside after months of driving to and from college, juijitsu classes, and the such... When we saw the car after they were finished with the detailing, we really could not believe it! We would not have recognized the car if it parked in a parking lot somewhere. They are INCREDIBLE...believe it! We called Glenn the day after to tell him just how pleased we were. Now we have to get our 2 other vehicle done. my son's car really smelled bad...how did they get it to smell like a brand new car, maybe better? I could not imagine a bad review and I wouldn't believe it anyway. You will not be disappointed if you have them detail your vehicle. Thanks so much for the great work! read more

Wow my Jeep looks amazing! Glen and his employee came to my house and 90 minutes later my Jeep looks brand new! I wish I could post photos on this site. I will definitely hire Glen and his crew again....worth every cent! read more

My experience with Glen's Auto Detailing was an all-around disappointment. It started with the purchase of a Groupon and the scheduling of a detail. A few days before the appointment, the owner called to say he had some sore or strained muscles and asked to reschedule. The timing of the detail was somewhat important to but I wasn't going to insist that the guy show up when he wasn't feeling well so we rescheduled. A few days prior to the new appointment, I had a medical crisis and asked him to reschedule. I also requested that the Groupon expiration be extended since the scheduling problems had created a situation where the expiration date was very near. He refused to extend that courtesy even though I had permitted him to reschedule at some inconvenience to me. After I wrote a negative review on Yelp, the owner contacted me and offered to go forward with the detail if I removed the Yelp review. I agreed, figuring I could write a follow-up review, hopefully positive, in which I would also make clear the history of the transaction. When I called to confirm the most recent appointment, the owner didn't have it in his schedule, but agreed to come the day after the scheduled appointment, arriving between 8 and 10 in the morning. I emphasized that earlier was best since I start work at 9 a.m. The owner called back, saying he was unaware of the appointment, but he could come the next day. At 9:45 he next day he had not arrived, but called to say he was running late due to traffic. When he finally got to my house, he indicated that he couldn't do the detail because it was illegal for him to work on a car parked on the street. (I have no driveway.) I told him that knowing this upfront would have allowed me to make other arrangements. While he had been mostly polite during recent exchanges, he basically told me that I should have known about the on-street issue, that it's common knowledge and that he has about one customer a year who gets this wrong and this year it was me. In my dealings with him, he tended to make excuses for his lapses and put the onus for difficulties encountered on me. In other words, the customer is usually wrong. It seems that the guy does decent work but his lack of professionalism meant that I ultimately lost the value of the Groupon and a significant amount of time attempting to deal with him. Two stars is probably slightly generous based on my experience. I am also struck by the absence of negative reviews on this site. There were many more a year or so ago. I think it's highly likely that Glen's Auto Detail approached other dissatisfied customers the same way they did me and managed to clean up the negative reviews that way. Since I wrote the above review, I feel compelled to change it to a one-star review add further details because the owner of the service has engaged in harassing behavior since that time. It started not long after I wrote the above review and I decided to let it go because he eventually stopped texting me. But it started again today (9/18/15) and it feels important for potential customers to know what they could be getting in to.. Below are the text messages I received from this individual and my responses to him: I've edited for brevity but haven't left any key exchanges out. I'd be happy to send the full exchange to anyone who's interested. 9/9 GAD: Im now disappointed in you. Ok ok. Your choice. Really reflects the kind of human you are. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ok. Sorry wrong person. Me: Good to know. GAD: No the previous texted were for you your a really bad person so you know. Me: Um, I don't understand. And since I don't know you it is unlikely that your opinion of my character would be something that would matter to me. Have a good day, nonetheless. GAD: God knows. You wouldn't know a thing about that. 9/10 GAD: Awesome thank you! Thank you. Thank you. GAD: The special package deal. Opps wrong text. Are you sure. I did not respond to the texts above. Finally, today: 9/18 GAD: eden your harassing me now this is illegal my lawyer is going to contact you. Me: I have no idea what you are talking about, The last time I texted you was last Wednesday in response to a text from you. I then both called and texted him, asking him to explain himself so that I would not feel compelled to note his odd and (ironically) harassing behavior in my Yelp review. GAD: I don't care what you put on yelp you appear crazy. Honestly, go for it. There may indeed be a mental health issue here but it isn't with me. read more

This guy was terrible! He was ok in setting up the appointment and then called the night before and tried to change the service I signed up for but keep the original price. He then, knowing I said I wouldn't be home, showed up and called demanding access to the keys for the car, electricity from the house, etc. which I could not do remotely. He started yelling at me on the phone and said he was leaving without doing anything but was keeping my money. DO NOT CALL HIM !! read more

I had my car detailed at my house by Glen. He was amazing from start to finish. Setting up appointment was easy. I had to change my appointment which was no problem with him, I had a Doctors appointment to go to. He spent hours on the car.It looks like a brand new car. You can tell he is really into his work.Very easy going to deal with. He wants the customer to be happy.Very professional, I would highly recommend him! read more

I had 2 cars detailed this morning and the guys did a fantastic job. My husbands car was really dirty, inside and out, but now it looks new. The came early, worked in the heat and left because I told them too. They even did extra because they had more time. I will definitely recommend them and will use them again!!! read more

Glen is a scam artist. I bought a deal on Living Social and made an appointment with him the same day. Although the appointment (his next available date) was 2 weeks away, he immediately redeemed my voucher (which I now realized make it impossible for me to get a refund through LS). He came to my home on time today (I appreciate the timeliness) and told me I'd have to pay an additional cash fee (almost as much as I paid for the voucher) or he would not do any work on my car. I was already prepared to pay the $30 minivan surcharge plus the the significant cash tip that he told me on the phone he expects. I was unwilling to pay any more. I was uninterested in receiving more services than I already committed to. I offered a compromise, that he not wash my carpets - only vacuum them. He refused, stating I'd have to pay $60 more or he would do no work. He then started taking pictures of my car. I threw him off my property. read more

our lovely flex was totaled last September, the day before Glen was to detail it again,,and again we waited too long for our new vehicle to be cleaned.. but Glen came yesterday and make it look brand new..this is a difficult task because we transport plywood and lumber almost daily. such an amazing service.. read more

Untimely. Rude. Thoroughly disappointed with Glen's auto detailing. I bought a voucher on Living Social to have my husband's vehicle detailed for his birthday (October 2015). Glen's first available appointment was May 11th, 2016! Call me crazy, but I said "ok"! So then, he was SCHEDULED to come at 12pm today, May 11th, 2016. I stayed home from work so that I could finally follow through with this gift for my husband. He called the night before to say he would arrive between 11am and 1pm. I called back to say "fine, but I have to leave at 2:30 to pick up my 4 kids from school". He then called me back at 12:45pm to say he was still working on a job, and wouldn't arrive until 1:30 or 2pm. Obviously, now this won't work on my end. So then, he said he could come Monday between 2 and 5pm. Fine! Another day messed up for this! The only issue was that I don't return home from school with my kids until 3pm. So 3-5 would work for me. Glen said no - he couldn't do that. What? The "acceptable" window for him was 2-5, but if I show up closer to 3 for this 2 hour detailing it's a "no go"!!!!! Seriously! So I've blown a half day at work "waiting around" for him and his crew to come, and he can't "wait around" until 3pm to clean the vehicle. Remember, this rescheduling is because HE didn't show up today at the scheduled time! I'm furious! The whole point of having someone come to your home to detail your vehicle is CONVENIENCE!!! Glen's auto detailing has cost me a half day of work, and loads of frustration; moreover, he was extremely rude to me on the phone. If you are a person who values your time, and your sanity, stay away from Glen's Auto Detailing. Go to your local auto detailing shop. There are good ones EVERYWHERE! It's WAY better to get your vehicle done when you need it done than to book with a mobile unit that can't even fulfill their scheduled appointments. If you've already bought a voucher from Living Social - call customer service and get a refund. read more
