Excellent work and a wonderful customer experience. I have recommended several family members and friends, and everyone has been extremely pleased. I cannot recommend Darryl enough. read more

I went there to buy cleaning supplies. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with.

Found this place via Yelp. Later, I found out that my brother-in-law uses the same place for his cars and has good things to say also. There were actually a couple of other places I found on Yelp and tried first, but they all have very restricted hours and can't do anything on short notice. I had a small window to get my car detailed because of work travel and other responsibilities this week, and Darryl fit me in the same night I called and had me ready for pickup at 7:30 a.m. the next day. During the winter, I had a mouse friend take refuge in my car (still no idea exactly how he got in and back out). That led to shredded tissues and general mess under the car seats. I also have two dogs I take hiking who get the back seat a little dirty. None of it was an issue for O&E Detailing. My car looked brand spanking new when I picked it up, inside and out. Darryl is a really nice guy, has extremely reasonable prices and he and his people get the job done right. Highly recommend. read more

My car interior was dirty from the three and half years of my toddler expressing himself with food. Now that he's a bit more mature and less messy, I decided it was time for a car detail. Darryl and his crew were excellent. Wonderful to talk to and truly a perfectionist, Darryl is exactly the person you want taking care of the things you care about. Thank you for doing such a great job!!! read more

This review is based on the owner only: Odds and Ends hosted a DYI detail clinic today for ACoA today. Unfortunately, I missed it. But got a chance to meet and speak with the owner (Darryl Nichols) who took his precious time educating me the proper ways to detail a car. He's also a distributor and fan of Adam's product lines. Of the detailers at this level and in the area, Darryl has been the only person to take his time to give words of wisdom. When Dora (my car) and I am are ready, I will take her there for a a full detail. Cheers! read more

See all

Hands down the best automotive detailer in the Washington DC area. Always has Adams products in stock, will spend as much time as needed to educate the customer on the proper product to use for specific applications that apply to that customers needs. Treats EVERY car like it is his own, hell, even BETTER than he treats his own and is beyond a perfectionist. If I cannot do it myself, then there will only be one place my car will go; Odds and Ends Detailing in Sterling. There is not a better option anywhere! Thanks again!! read more

Now that the holiday's are behind me, I have the time to write a review of my services with Odds & Ends Detailing. On November 21, 2018, I contact Daryl regarding detailing a 2016 Lexus RX350 my wife and I have recently purchased. I explained that the dealership from which we purchased the vehicle did a horrible job of detailing the exterior and that we need swirl marks in the clear coat corrected. I scheduled an appointment Daryl for an estimate on November 23, 2018 at 9 am. Upon arriving, Daryl viewed the vehicle and I further explained that the threshold leading to the driver's cockpit needed to be cleaned and all of the leather surfaces need cleaning and conditioning as well. Specifically, there was what appeared to be a white mark (against black leather) on the passenger seat that needed scrubbing. I also pointed out several other things that needed to be addressed during the walk around. I negotiated a price of $375 for an interior and exterior detail job. Daryl advised that I could drop the vehicle off on Monday before 11 am and it would be ready at the close of business on Tuesday, so that is what I expected. When I dropped the vehicle off on Monday, November 26, 2018 the timeline for getting the vehicle back had changed because by his own admission, Daryl has scheduled another detail between the time I left on Friday and Monday when I dropped off my vehicle. Now, we could not get our vehicle back until Wednesday. While I was annoyed, that wasn't my biggest concern. When I dropped the vehicle off, Daryl advised the price could change because there appeared to be more swirl marks than he saw on Friday and it could take more time to correct them. For some reason, Daryl cited it was raining when he viewed the vehicle on Friday, so he couldn't see all of the swirl marks. That is factually not true. While it was an overcast day, there wasn't one drop of rain on the vehicle at the time of my appointment. He also cited the size of the vehicle as another reason for a 50% increase from the estimate (the vehicle was the same size on Monday when I dropped it off as it was on Friday when I went in for the estimate). My initial inclination was to walk way and book an appointment with Tabula Rasa for my detail, but I needed it done right away, so I allowed him to proceed. Sure enough, I received a call when he started that the priced would increase due to the fact it would take two passes with his polisher to remove the marks. Again, due to my time crunch, I allowed him to proceed thinking that in the long run, I would have a vehicle that looked new inside and out. I requested of Daryl that he have the vehicle ready before the sun went down on Wednesday as I wanted to see his work in natural light. He advised he wouldn't be done until after dark (because he scheduled another detail after I made my appointment). When we arrived to pick up the vehicle on Wednesday evening, the exterior did in fact look good. Most of the swirl marks were gone, so we were pleased with that portion of the detail. Due to darkness, we couldn't really tell what was done on the interior, so we took possession of the vehicle and drove it home. The next morning when I backed the vehicle out of the garage and viewed it in natural light for the first time, I was thoroughly disappointed. With the exception of removing a stain on the passenger door arm rest, it appeared nothing else was done on the interior of the vehicle. The A/C vents still had dust in them, the mark I pointed out during my appointment was still on the passenger's seat, the scuff marks on the back of the driver and passenger seats were still there and there was no leather conditioner applied to any interior surface inside the vehicle. Clearly Daryl knew he didn't perform those services, which is why he offered that we bring the vehicle back if we find the vehicle didn't meet our expectations. There are two problems with that approach: 1. I run a business and my wife works full time. We don't have time to be going back and forth to a detailer multiple times to have them perform work correctly. 2. The honest thing to do in that instance would be to say he didn't have time to perform the interior detail and not charge the $75 fee he quoted for that service. Instead he charged us the full fee for no rendered service. With those two things in mind, I didn't have the trust in this business to return our vehicle for service. As a result, I personally ordered products from Adams Polishes and detailed the interior of our vehicle myself. I also purchased a Rug Doctor portable carpet cleaner and cleaned the floor mats and carpeted areas of the vehicle (the dark brown water in the receptacle tank was evidence that he didn't clean the carpets either). With all the Adam's products, Porter Cable polisher & Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machine and detailing brushes I purchased, I can now open my own detailing business. Give me call if you are in Loudoun County. read more

This is your place if you want great work and you want a fair price. Not only does Daryl do awesome work, he seems to enjoy it!! Will only use Odds and Ends from now on. JL read more

A couple of months ago I had to clean up the inside of my truck. It was my first time detailing a vehicle so vulnerability was written all over my face. To my surprise, the owner was courteous, patiently explaining every thing, honest, and reasonable with the price. Time was of the essence for me but he still managed to clean my truck to my satisfaction. In the future, I will definitely take my business to him as repeat customer. read more

I have been taking my cars to Darryl for years and have never been disappointed. Darryl is an enthusiast and a perfectionist and will make sure your car looks its best when he is done. The prices are reasonable and Darryl could not be more accomodating. read more

I'd have to say this place has done a very good job to my 2017 Lexus f sport. I came in for a hand wash, and they made sure to take off every spot of dirt from paint rims and tires. My car looks very clean and has an extra shine. You can tell they use good product. I'd definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends. If you like a friendly environment and a good job done to your car I'd say you can count on them. Thanks odds and ends detailing for a great experience. read more

Had my car's paint corrected and coated. Quoted a price before work began. $125 per pass plus coating fees. Darryl is keen on taking cash over credit card payments, so his prices are not the same no matter what. This should have been my first red flag. Started and finished job on same day, several days later. When I came to pick the car he charged me significantly more than quoted. When I asked how it was much more he broke down the price ($175 per pass vs $125 he orginally quoted and upped the coating fee by $125) the overall job wasn't bad but definitely not great by any means. Can find better detailing places in the area for sure. I will not go back. read more

Brought my truck in after having gone through a car wash which left scratches and swirls all over. Results were fantastic, black vehicles always show more marks and I was blown away how amazing it looked when Darryl got finished with it. Looks better than when I bought it. Like a new paint job! read more

This guy really knows his stuff. I took my 91 Mercedes to him and he made its 23 year old single stage paint job look new, I couldn't believe it. Both times I have used his services I got exactly what was promised and on time, hard to beat that level of service these days. Nice guy who will take the time to educate you on what he is going to do. read more
