Default Shout Out to Dirt Cheap Detail (Auto Detailing)

I am not one to go out of my way to leave a positive review unless I am beyond impressed.
I filled out the form on their website and immediately had a response. They asked when I would like them to come and made sure they were available the following morning.
I paid $100 and had the exterior of my G35 go from looking old and worn out to a brand new vehicle off the lot. Ill post pics if I have a chance.
2 guys worked for 3 hours on a 4 step wax, window clean, aftermarket rims were polished to the fullest etc.
All in all I know how hard it is to find reliable mobile services these days (lawn care, maids etc) and thought these guys deserved a shout out.

The website is nothing special and was obviously created by themselves. It does however get the point across and give you an idea on costs. Anyways, thanks to them for making my car look like new and I highly suggest contacting them if you are looking for the same.
Tell them I sent you and you might get a better deal off the already cheap prices as they seem like they could be flexible depending on what package get.

http://dirtcheapdetail.com/

** I am in no way affiliated with this company but more so wanted to recognize a fantastic job.

That background tiled logo is just painful to look at.

Thanks, Realtor 1. I've been looking at having my car detailed for the first time ever. I will keep Dirt Cheap in mind.

I second Codys work, I deal with him often. In fact he is giving away a clock of mine for a DCD Facebook contest right now. But you guys know that already because you follow me on twitter... right?....

Check him out!

It's all on the website:

4. Mobile Service
Avoid the logistical head ache of finding the shop, arranging drop off/pick up, figuring out what to do while you wait and the hassle of commuting all together. We can come straight to your garage and do the vehicle(s) at your place just as well as we would on our home turf. More on Mobile Detailing
5. Valet Service
Don't have a garage available? Don't work downtown? This added service will make the process an absolute breeze. We'll come pick up your vehicle and bring it back looking brand new! Extra charges apply depending on travel distance.

I know one of the guys who started this detailing company and have mentioned them in a thread before, I can only say good things and would recommend to anybody.

I would highly recommend Dirt Cheap Detail as well. I had Cody work on my car back in June and he did an amazing job inside and out. I had these pictures taken right after he finished the detail:

What an unfortunately naming choice. They might be cheap and good, but most people who like to get a professional detail are pretty anal about their cars, and that name doesn't really make me want to hand over the keys to my car. If my main concern was price, I'd just go to to a gas station car wash.

+1 to both of these points. These guys came up in a recent thread I started looking for a good detail job. Given the name & website design (maybe not the best to judge a book by it's cover...) I went with another company.

There's lots of positive reviews in this thread, so I'd be tempted to take another look at them, but overall I was really put off by the website.

I gotta laugh at people who bypass great reviews and referrals to go with a company that has a better website and a higher fee.

I tend to believe that unsolicited ads for random companies are often not all that unsolicited. I hate testimonials, and usually bypass companies that use them for promotion.

Are you implying that Realtor1 is actually affiliated with this place? Just because you get a special deal if you mention his name doesn't mean that he's getting anything out of it. He's just a loyal customer or I assume he is and he'll go back a second time when he needs detailing again.

That's awesome. Your name has magical powers. I dropped it at Chicken on the Way and I got my threesome upgraded to a foursome!

Another very satisfied customer. Cody did a great job on our 2010 Forester XT today. Dropping off our Impreza tomorrow to get the same custom treatment.

Very flexible hours, great service + work, central location, and WAYYY better bang for your dollar than other detailers. Nice to see a guy who takes alot of pride in his work.

Will definitely be back in the spring after the winter wear and tear.
