My tan upholstery has gone through many spills and unknown stains mostly from the last 8 years of my daughter. I use to go to Russell Speeder's for years and years and most of the stains they could never get out. Well Friday, I took my daughter to the movies and on the way home, she spilled my soda, a full large one at that, I drove to Russell Speeder's to which they wouldn't take me because they said they stop taking detailing at 5 and I was there at 455. So I drove off then pulled over and looked up detailing and East Hartford Carwash was the next on the list and it said they were open until 6. So I called and Dennis answered the phone, I believe he is the owner. He offered to look at the car and do a spot cleaning but couldn't do a full cleaning because it would take several hours. I was a bit surprised it took that long because my experience at Russel Speeders is, 30 minutes if there are no cars in front of you. Dennis explained it is because he has an actual carpet shampooer for cars and goes through the car front to back, not just the upholstery but also the carpeting. So I opted to wait until the next day to drop my car off to him. Dennis called when my car was done but due to an emergency that occurred in my family I was not able to get my car until today which was fine with Dennis. Well when I got their today to pick up my car, Dennis said their were some tough areas throughout the car but he did the best he could, well I was expecting to see the same stains remaining prior to the soda incident that brought me to him just like when I would leave Russel Speeder's. Well let me tell you, when I opened up my car door, I was taken aback and thought I was in the wrong car. Almost all of the stains in the entire car, front to back, top to bottom, were GONE!!! My car has not looked that good since before my daughter was born 8 years ago. Ok, now that I looked around more, not only did Dennis get out almost all of the stains in my entire car but he cleaned the entire car, dash, doors, console, detail wash the exterior, etc. He did a complete detail on my car and when it came time to pay, the price he quoted me over the phone, was the price I paid, there were no up charges for the extra work he did to get out the stains, there was no up charge for cleaning the dash, doors, console, nooks, cranny's etc. It was simply the charge he quoted me over the phone. Now when you drive up to Russell Speeder's for detailing, you can select either upholstery or carpet for one charge, if you want both their is an up charge, if you want both plus dash doors etc, their is more up charges and if you want a wash, etc more up charges. And after all these up charges you end up with a car that still shows all the stains that you came in with and you pay 300% more than you will when you go to EH Carwash. Ok, now EH Carwash is a diamond in the rough and a book that shouldn't be judged by it's cover. When you pull up, you will see a smaller building with two bays, one for the car washing and the other for the detailing. I was a bit surprised when I pulled up at first, thinking this isn't going to come out good but I had to get my car done and for the price he quoted me, it was worth the try. EH Carwash is simple but amazing and this is how they can keep their costs down. They don't have a huge building with a lot of overhead that drives costs up. They are simple hard working individuals who take PRIDE in their work. Thank you East Hartford Carwash, you have a customer and a word of mouth advertiser for LIFE!!!!

I'm a life-long car guy and I recently purchased a 2014 GMC Acadia SLT with tons of options (from…read moreCarter Chevrolet). The only problem I had were several small dings and a couple of small dents. The original sticker on this truck was close to $50K! I've never put that many blemishes on all my cars put together -- and I've owned several Cadillacs, a few muscle cars, trucks and vans, five Corvettes, and a '32 Ford Highboy Roadster that won its Class at the Grand National Roadster Show in 2003. Enter Al Harmsen at Mobile Detailing, in Vernon. I was referred to him by my long-time pals at National Speed Center, just a few miles away in Manchester. The worst dent was right in the middle of the rear lift-gate, right on the lower body line, and it stuck out like a sore thumb. Thanks to Al, it's damn near undetectable. Another really difficult thing that also stood out badly was a "soft" impression-type crease on the passenger-side rear door. There were no outward signs of impact, but it appeared like something (or someone) large just leaned against it, causing a long wave above the body line and also one below. That's gone, too, thanks to Al's careful expertise. Granted, I still have a few minor "issues," that I asked Al not to mess with, since I also bought (what I call) the "Love Butter" treatment from Carter, which is a surface treatment that's supposed to make waxing it a thing of the past (for the life of the vehicle). I used to wash all my cars by hand. I'd detail them, use Mother's Clay Bar to remove surface contaminants followed by a nice coat of Mother's Carnuba Wax, and just love 'em in general. Regardless of how much horsepower my cars have had, I drive them gently, too. But I'm a bit older now. And since it's Spring, I'm having a tough time keeping up with all the nasty-colored pollen that keeps landing on it. "Stuff happens," right? In the past, I've worked at the area's most prestigious Cadillac Dealership (10 years), Auto Paint Distributors (five or so), the largest Oldsmobile Dealership (a few more), and been the Editor of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine, Drag Racing USA, and Drag Racer (almost 20 years). I speak from experience when I tell you that Al Harmsen is very well schooled in all the various substrates present in today's vehicles -- sheet metal, stainless, aluminum, hard plastic, soft urethane, leather, vinyl, and more. That very schooling has given him the experience and the knowledge necessary to make virtually any kind of repair your car may need. He also specializes in "Plastic Welding," a process that addresses rips and tears in soft urethane bumpers, facias, and filler panels. Not everyone does this, because not everyone has the proper (spelled expensive) equipment to do it. You'd be surprised to learn just how many dings, dents, spots, and blemishes are actually repairable in today's high-tech world. Even if your problem area needs paint touch-up or blending, Al can handle those concerns, too. In short, Al Harmsen at Mobile Detailing can cure all sorts of concerns you might have regarding your daily ride. Protect your investment and get those issues handled. After all, 'tis the season!
