I recently had my car washed and waxed by Tony of KleenKarz and I'm very happy with the result…read more Tony did a great job and I look forward to using KleenKarz again.
KleenKarz is the current on-site car wash and detailing service at the office park where I work. Tony is the owner. He's normally on-site on Tuesdays. However, since he's a mobile detailer, he's flexible and works around town. You can call or text him at 678-698-7284 for more information and to set up an appointment.
Tenants at our office park received flyers via email with a menu of KleenKarz's services. That's how I found out about KleenKarz. Tony offers a basic hand-wash for $25 (larger vehicles $30 or $35) up to a "Showroom Finish" exterior and interior detail for $165.
I texted Tony and he was quick to respond. I had some questions about his services and whether he could add on certain options (e.g. if he could add on cleaning and conditioning my leather seats). I eventually settled on the #4 package "Wash & Wax" ($95) which includes: hand-wash, polish, and wax exterior, clean wheels and dress tires, vacuum interior, wipe dash and instrument panel, and clean interior and exterior windows.
Tony texted me when he was on-site. I dropped my car off with him shortly before noon and it was ready shortly after 2pm. He worked by himself and had only one other customer. As a mobile detailer, everything Tony needs is in his truck. He detailed my car on the top of a parking deck in the hot summer sun. I was concerned about him waxing my car in the heat and direct sunlight, but Tony assured me the wax he used, Meguiar's, was fine to use in the sun. When I went to pick up my car, it looked fantastic.
To be nitpicky (I am a very clean, somewhat OCD person and I detailed my car myself for 15 years), I did notice some streaks on my door windows that I had to wipe away later myself. I noticed a protectant had been applied to the dash, steering wheel, vent area/instrument panel, and front door moldings, but not to the rear door moldings, so that was inconsistent. I also noticed something had been applied to my seats in the front, though not uniformly, and I don't believe anything was applied to my seats in the back. I didn't ask for seat service and it wasn't listed under the #4 package that I bought, so I just chalked it up to Tony being nice and giving me a little extra. Finally, I noticed my rear seats and rubber floor mats had splotches of protectant residue on them, as if Tony had sprayed elsewhere and then protectant accidentally sprayed or dripped onto my rear seats and mats (I know because I've done it before myself). These were not wiped up and the spots/residue were and are still noticeable on my rear seats and mats. These were all little things I noticed.
Tony does not accept credit card. He does, however, accept payment via the Cash App (by Square, Inc.). He texted me a referral link so we both got $5 Cash App credits. The app is pretty straightforward, easy to use, and links to your debit card.
In the end, I'm pleased with the work Tony and KleenKarz did to my car. I recommend him. It's hard to beat the convenience of a mobile detailer. I can stay at work while my car is cleaned. There's definitely some value in that.
