Mike’s Mobile Detailing

Full disclosure, my car sucks. It’s crashed, it rattles, it’s not the prettiest.
I called Mike’s and told him this, but also that I needed a good detailing job because I wanted to sell it soon. He was nice on the phone, so I told him my address and asked him to come out as soon as possible. He was a little late showing up, but no big deal. Gave him my keys and he got to work. He spent a good three hours on my car, coming upstairs several times for water and to use our bathroom. He wasn’t the friendliest person once we were face to face, but I thought he may have been just shy.
When he called me downstairs to say he was finished, I took a look at the car and thought it looked okay. It was in the shade and I truthfully didn’t have the time to inspect every little thing. I paid him $ 80 and he was on his way. I even asked him for some extra business cards to hand out around the office building.
That night I noticed that there were streaks on the outside and that some of the plastic covers on the engine hadn’t been put back properly. But again, my car sucks. No big deal, I guess. I drive to the mall the next day and my car dies. Again, my car sucks, but it has never died. It’s only a 2007. I call my mechanic and he thinks it’s the alternator. I call a tow company, pay them $ 150 to tow it to my mechanic and wait for the bad news.
My mechanic calls me after a few hours to say there is WATER SITTING inside the alternator. What? I just paid this guy $ 80 to do a detail, including an engine cleaning. My mechanic helped me out as much as he could, using a wet vac to get all the water out. I called Mike, he couldn’t care less. He told me I’d have to prove he did it. My mechanic called Mike several times, but Mike never answered the phone again.
So, I paid $ 80 to then have to pay $ 150 in towing and another $ 100 to have my alternator cleaned. At least I caught it before it killed my alternator.
Don’t use this guy, especially not for all those fancy cars he shows on his website. Can’t even imagine how much an alternator costs on a Lambo.
