Has anyone tried Eco Detail (Silver Lake, CA)

Looks like the reviews are generally very favorable.

 

Next time post a link please, not everyone lives in Southern CA. :rockon:

Eco Detail - Silver Lake - Los Angeles, CA

 

"Southern California brings me down."

 

I've read through the reviews and as someone who is a professional detailer himself, I would be leery for three reasons:

1. The whole idea of a "waterless wash". My experience tells me there is no safe way to wash a car without water. You can use little water, such as when you use a product like Optimum's No Rinse...but you need water to be able to emulsify and float away dirt without scratching.

2. Its cheap. Detailing is hard work, and the overhead to buy the proper equipment and products is not cheap, and the time it takes to develop good skills is not short. Basically, he's offering a $40 yelp deal for 3 hours work, and Yelp is probably taking half of that, so he's working for three hours for $20, before expenses. When I detailed professionally I charged...and got paid all day long for more like $50-60 an hour. However...I knew what I was doing. This is just a glorified carwash, not really a detail.

3. I'm automatically suspicious of anything that advertises itself as "green".

So, I would not patronize this establishment. You want a detailer who advertises the quality of his or her work...not the cheap price or "green" nature.

 

I do have to say though...all the reviews are good...my concern though is that every customer seems to be one of these "Yelp, Groupon, LivingSocial" type customers and where are their expectations set when they get there?

I do not know...I'd want to see him in action before I let him work on my cars...
