WOW!!!
just had the displease of interacting with Greg (owner of this service business).
We had agreed that he would be here Friday morning to detail two of my three vehicles. Greg called me at 7:45 AM stating that he was in my driveway and proceeding to wash the two cars. (1 star for a timely arrival) He told me to bring him the keys when I woke up??? I promptly went out to the driveway. I am very careful about others cars and trucks on my pavered driveway and I take exceptionally good care of my cars. I immediately noticed puddling under the engine area of his van which was backed into my circular driveway... didn't say anything about that.
I did introduce myself and confirm his name was Greg while he continued washing my (like showroom new) 1997 BMW Convertible. I asked him if he had ever worked for Swag Car Detailing?
(Swag is a black-owned service that I had hired two years ago to detail this same car. Swag released a canister bomb inside the closed up vehicle ($75) that destroyed the interior of my car. It broke down the upholstery adhesive causing the leather to shrink and bubble throughout... glove compartment door, both front door panels, both rear quarter panels,
convertible top "bat wings" and other incidental parts. IT COST ME ABOUT $10,000.00 to replace the interior components and several months locating those parts in Europe. The Swag owner was viciously sinister.)
Not at all Greg's fault but I was seriously stung once and proceeding with caution!
He stopped washing and said "is there a problem... are you gonna stand there and watch me wash your car?" Now, I am 72 years old and have been in business for 52 years. His business acumen sucks! Beyond that, he was very confrontational and behaved like a bully.
Not one to make a snap judgment, I went back inside to gather my thoughts and digest our short relationship. I decided to go out and send him on his way. As soon as I was within earshot, Greg again said "is there a problem;
with that attitude?" I said yes... please pickup your stuff, the job is done... let me know what I owe you for the wash. He said "fxxk you... the wash is free". I asked him why his people all seem to come with a hellacious attitude? BTW... it was now 8:00. He took the liberty of shouting me out in my driveway. I told him to leave, now.
So, Greg finished packing up his stuff, got into his van and just sat there. I had thoughts that he may come back out of his van to accost me, or worse? Finally, he started his van and very slowly drove out of my driveway like a gangsta.
My driveway pavers had two 6" round puddles of oil followed by several drip drops. At the location of the rear of his van were gasoline stains from the gas can that he placed on the pavers. The driver's-side running board has a black smear of "something" that was not there when he started. All in all, a horrible experience.
I brought out my pressure washer along with Dawn dish soap and some bleach and proceeded to clean my driveway. I stopped to write this review while the words and events were fresh in mind. Now, I will address the black smear which did not come off with the pressure washer.
All I can say is "Shopper Beware". People with Greg's cultural shortcomings do not belong in a service business and should be swiftly avoided at the first sign of confrontation. Good luck. read more
