    I purchased my 2022 Tesla model 3, came to the Detailing Genius for their ceramic window tinting service since they offered one of the cheapest service. During the drop off or before the work, they did not informed me of any worries or details that I should've known prior to working on my vehicle (because there just wasn't anything since I inspected it prior and brought to this shop the next day of purchase.). After picking it up, I noticed that they've done incredibly horrible job on my window tinting (as you can see from the picture). He claimed that he had his plotter cut out the material, but it's crystal clear he hand cut the film and applied it, which you can see it being teared up in the corner, and uneven alignment across the window. I'm not sure why he delivered my car like this as his FINISHED product for the service, but yikes. I complained about his unprofessional work and his lack of experiencing in this field to perform a service on the car. He firstly offered a mere $100 off of the service (out of $450 quote), which was ridiculous. Then, he offered to redo the job after I complained about his unprofessionalism. Knowing how horrible job he can do and ruin my car, I just decided to PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET to remove the tint from a professional tinter in the area ($150). After all that jazz, taking my loss, I went to another professional tinter in the area, and while we were taking a look at the tint job done by Detailing Genius, they pointed out all of the horrible water spots, debris INSIDE the tint and the window, misalignment, etc. They then pointed out if I really want to tint the rear windshield because the defrosters were damaged. I was shocked, and called the Detailing Genius right away. Detailing Genius pointed out that there is no way that they've done it, even though this car was dropped off to them the next day of my purchase of the car, and inspected for any sign of concerns before going into the service with the Detailing Genius. It's really clear that they've really screwed my car up with their horrible job of window tinting, misalignment, and destorying my defroster, which quoted to be about $1,000 to replace the entire rear windshield caused by them. I will be filing a small civil lawsuit against the Detailing Genius since they are refusing to cooperate, also questioning their professionalism and ability to work on these services legally. If anyone has had this issue, please contact me with the details (kevinhk5451@gmail.com) P.S: They didn't even clean the waterspots inside the interior of the car after they've worked on it. Also, it seems like they ripped off some kind of rubber near the driver's side of the window while trying to get tint it.

    12/10 would recommend! I bought a car from my brother for a great deal except the condition he left the car in... it was GRUNGY. Dude hadn't washed or vacuumed the car since he purchased it several years earlier. There was a stain from where he "dropped a cup of Mountain Dew" and never attempted to clean it up complete with crumbs and grime in every orifice of the car. Needless to say, I was nervous and skeptical about both the online estimate I received and the ability of the team to perform literal magic. Quin showed up with 2 additional team members and they put in WORK on my car for ~2 hours. I peaked out the window for progress about halfway through (since the detailing was in the convenience of my driveway) and was met with a glare from the super sheen I didn't know the bumper had to offer. My only regret was not taking 'before' pictures. I made two of my family members come check out the new whip and we were all oooing and ahhhing over the night and day difference. Quin's team did undeniably incredible work all while honoring the initial estimate! I definitely recommend their services to anyone seeking out those new car vibes short of tens of thousands of dollars to spare.

    Quin detailed my Sienna to get her ready for sale. He quickly responded to my estimate. We set up an appt the following day and he came to my work while I was gone working and got her done! She looks and smells great! There was a little leftover bug residue on the front bumper and when I texted him he assured me he would take care of it. Which he did! Highly recommend Quin.

    Quin was very professional and communicated well in giving a quote and setting up the detail appointment. My Jaguar F Pace looks like it just rolled of the showroom floor. There is no sign of some nasty little dots that had been all over the car (artillery spores apparently) and the whole car glows all the way down to the wheels. Highly recommend Detailing Genius and Quin and will have him back to detail my car again!

    Quin made it very easy for me to get my car detailed despite my busy schedule. He was flexible on timing and then came out to my work to do the job. He brings everything he needs for the whole cleaning, including power and water. My car hadn't been cleaned inside in more than a year, and he got every last stain and piece of gunk out. I have a very sensitive nose and was worried the chemicals would give me a headache when I got back to my car, but that wasn't the case at all. He's also very friendly, which I appreciate. :)

So just in case the inspection place I went to was blowing smoke I figured I'd go here because they're obviously honest. The cost for the tint removal was about $40 less than other places I called. They were fast and communicative so I'd highly recommend this company. They have an after hours key drop off which I appreciated too.

I also do believe the benefits out way the possibility that this is the "first time this has ever happened."

Multiple other customers reported similar problems with Washnwerk. Here's what happened: I brought my car in for a window tint and picked it up to find damage on the rear driver's side of my vehicle -- white paint transfer and my light blue paint scraped off. When I discovered the damage, the manager, Garrett, acknowledged it looked like a white car had hit my car and verbally agreed to cover the cost of the repair. My partner witnessed this interaction including Garrett saying "We'll cover the cost of the damage because I don't want you to leave here feeling like we screwed you over." I did not file a police report that day because I trusted his word. I included a photo of my car that I took immediately upon discovering the damage. Upon sending him the quote for the damage, he claimed his employees denied causing the damage and that his ring camera footage showed nothing happened to my car. But that footage was conveniently deleted before anyone could review it. He also denied ever promising to pay for the damage. Because I trusted his initial commitment and didn't file a police report right away, I lost the opportunity to have law enforcement review that footage; law enforcement said they would have confiscated the footage the day the damage was discovered if I had filed a police report. I inspected my car for bird droppings the day before dropping it off at Washnwerk and a witness can confirm they didn't see the damage before it was left in their care. I am now stuck with a $1,000 deductible on a property damage claim for damage I am certain occurred at this business. I looked over the reviews left for Washnwerk on Google and found 6 other reviews describing damage to customers' vehicles such as exterior damage and new stains in the interior. In every instance, the customer reports that the damage was never remediated or at least doesn't mention any remediation. Washnwerk commented on one of these reviews claiming they wanted to make it right, but the customer didn't update their review to confirm any remediation had happened. One reviewer reported the exact same experience as me -- an initial offer to pay, later retracted. There are screenshots of these reviews below. I'd hate for this to happen to anyone else. Please choose a detailing company that stands behind their work and takes responsibility when something goes wrong. If you've had a similar experience and haven't shared it yet, please do share.

As I was returning to my car, I could see it from a distance, someone had "keyed " scratch, the entire length of the driver's side of my vehicle. It was severe. Rule of thump: put water on a scratch on your auto finish, if the scratch disappears it can be buffed out. When I got home I ran the hose,wet the car, the scratch remained completely visible. As I'm new to Raleigh, and new to NC I didn't know who to call. I opened the Yelp app and contacted several repair shops based on reviews. They all responded promptly and gave a quote except one. The first one to respond didn't give me a quote, he set a time for the next day when he could come see it in person. The day Travis arrived a few minutes early and I was ready. He inspected the scratch and gave me a quote, best by several hundred $$ I was skeptical, I told Travis I was awaiting to hear from a couple more shops but I would let him know either way within a couple hours. I had a good feeling about Travis so even though his very much lower price gave me a "too good to be true" vibe, I needed my car fixed so I texted Travis. We set a time for two days later as I had to work around my schedule. Travis' two helpers arrived early, before Travis. They explained they would prep the car and could start immediately. I left them to get started as I had a project had had to attend. When I looked outside maybe 20 mins later Travis was there his truck unloaded, equipment set up. All three seemed very busy. What they had to do to get that scratch out was unreal. The scratch wasn't just to the metal, the metal was scratched as well. It was a lot of work many steps in the process and it took some time. As they neared completion of the project, one of the guys found me in my backyard and filled me in. I started towards my car, already close enough where the scratch was previously visible, I saw shiny pint. I continued to close the distance, scrutinizing with increased intensity. I was at the car, scanning the previously damaged area with my eyes. I saw no sign of any damage, no residual of the scratch whatsoever. My nightmare was over, Travis and his guys made my car look like brand new. I can once again drive my car with pride.
