Detailing Shops Review

[jhnkvn]

I also heard a lot of positive reviews for Drive Bright.

Anyone brought their cars to Uberwerke? It's in white plains katipunan.

If you live in the Marikina area, I HIGHLY recommend Precision 24 Auto Detailer. Look for Edward.

Hi Guys,

Aside from Big Bert's Optiguard, are there other shops that offer a similar program?

Thanks!

Try Vintage Detailing shop in Pasong Tamo Extension Makati. It is inside Bridgestone shop just in front of Toyota. Sa loob mismo ng bridgestone just ask the reception about Vintage Detailing. Most of their clients are owners of high end cars like porsche, ferrari, lamborghini, bmw, benz, etc. you can see samples of their work by searching for Vintage Detailing Group sa facebook. You be the judge you will never regret it.

Any recommendations in Mandaluyong/ San Juan?

Detail Studio and Bright Master in Ortigas Home Depot
* Overpriced. Sa tagal-tagal, I just realized that they charge higher than Big Berts. Mas maaga lang sila magbukas which is why I patronize their shops. But not anymore. I used to have my car waxed by them, just paying labor for P300. Ngayon they refuse to accept just labor services anymore. They actually charge P1000 for waxing the car(excluding cost for the car wash WTF). In comparison to Big Berts, yung waxing nila only cost P700, already includes removing TAR/Claying, car wash, using their own wax. They even have a much better place than these 2. I highly recommend to stay away from these shops, there is nothing special about them, atsaka masyado silang nagmamadali maglinis ng kotse, they will always never fail to miss a spot na hindi napunasan. Plus the area now is a dust zone because of the construction on-going in Home Depot.

I've actually tried these 2, and prefer Detail Studio when I'm in Ortigas but they open late, medyo matagal ang wash but the quality is great esp sa wheel wells and wheels. I really like their wash- no marks and no missed marks so far. Last wax I had with them was P450 iirc for Meguiars on a Forester, all in with a car wash, and I availed of their enhancement service (tar, clay, polish, Collinite) for 1,200 for a CRV. My car looked better than when I got it out of the casa with the swirls and holograms gone before they applied the wax so I'm really happy. I find them cheap for what they do and use (I paid 2k+ for a similar service elsewhere). I'm thinking of their coatings, 3 or 4 choices.

Pero yung individual nila na high end waxes mahal but understandable and they showed me an endless list!

Ano good detailing shop in las pinas guys? Pa recommend naman.

I visit them Detail Studio 7AM kapag andun na bisor nila pinagbubuksan na nila ako. Unlike the area where BigBerts is, 9AM binubuksan ng guard ng home depot area nila. Sa detail studio I paid 1,140 for a car wash and waxing(collinite 476S). Yung 1k na yun, makakabili ka na ng wax container yourself.

Ito pa ang kinaiinis ko sa kanila, ilang beses ko na din napagsabihan boy nila, kapag nagcacarwash, nakabukas pinto ng door tapos iisprayan nila yung gilid ng tubig. Kung masira nila speakers ko, babayaran ba nila yun? Tapos may trunk is laid out with leather, may nakapatong akong tools dun na mabigat, imbes na buhatin to move my tools, they drag it which creates scratches on the leather, sino matutuwa nun?

Odd, I went there today at around 8:30 they were still closed, so had my daily drive washed at Big Berts instead. Brightmaster was open and washing a few cars. I passed by around 9:30 on the way and they were just opening up. Asked and they strictly open at 9. Might have time to have my car waxed later so will try them out again and will inquire. You might be referring to Brightmaster, they are open early which I prefer para before office sana, but I tried it once and like you, hindi ko gusto why they open the doors and spray sa jambs. Afaik these are two different shops.

Posting while waiting for my car and I was able to ask some questions:

1. They open at 9am everyday. They can't take clients earlier and I'll have to wait. The car wash across opens at 7am or earlier. They are not the same.

2. I'm availing of their full wax now, with a DA, tar removal, claying, paint cleaning, and sealant. Brand is Duragloss, 700 with a wash for a brz. 800 for a Forester.

3. Inquired for a fresh application of Collinite 845/476s/915, 700 for a brz and 850 for a CRV, with a wash. 1k flat for Autoglym High Def wax. I paid 1,800 at another place. The tub I previously bought was 7,500. Still cheaper I think if you choose from their set services that include these and not have it customized. Mas mahal daw pag per application kasi sop nila is prep work.

4. May qd add on option sila sa wash, OCW for P50 across sizes. I won't be able to try it today but I think that's really cheap. They adviced against it, sayang daw as I'm having my car waxed. I like that.

Understandably its a business and they are really knowledgeable and technical, and I still find them to be the cheapest vs. quality of products and a lot better than the other shops I used to go to considering it's Ortigas. I have the waxes too pero kakapagod to do everything myself. Watched the car wash and it's thorough, no spraying of the jambs as you've mentioned and seems they are very careful handling the interior. It's cheaper sa kanto carwash but I've learned my lesson.

Yung other wash sa harap finished a pick up in 15 mins, not sure I want that for now. That said, any recommendations for a shop in Mandaluyong that opens early (before office hours, 8am or so)?

Thanks for the info. This just shows how inconsistent Detail Studio is on their information. I favor Detail Studio over Bright Master because of the cleanliness of their place. I have been their customer for almost a year now wherein I never fail to have one my cars washed in their shop at least once a week. The point person I talk to is the bearded dark guy who happens to be their supervisor. He's the one that has the keys to open the doors of the shop every morning. How do I know this? Because as early as around 7AM, the employees of the carwash are already there just waiting for him to start the shop. When he arrives and sees my car parked just outside, he accomodates my car even though he now says, they officially start at "9AM". Apparently he is also the only guy who can give quotes for Detail Studio's pricing. So probably you got to talk to him too. He was the one who told me using Autoglym on my CUV cost 3.5k. He was also the one who charged me 1.1k for the carwash and Collinite 476 wax on my car. I'm not sure if they now changed the pricing, because I am surprised he gave you a lower quote. Looks to me they are trying to discriminate car owners. Seeing that if they can get away in overpricing, they'll do just that. That's bad business practice and they just lost a regular customer in me.

Sorry to hear that. I've been backreading though, if I read that right, they charged you 900 for the 476 and have also charged you 1,1+ for it? They've been pretty consistent with me despite many many questions even when I inquired a couple times by phone and email since last year. They quoted me 3,500 for AGHD as well for my bigger cars pero thats for a total paint makeover, baka matagal pa for me to avail. Just asking as we've totally different experiences, like kanina I joked (since I read it here) baka pwede i-meet ako ng 8am and I'll leave my car and come back for it later in the day so no rush til they really open, they refused kasi they are logged sa cctv. Sayang.

I'm always assisted by one person lang din so far, especially with pricing and reco's, but far different from who you described. So that has got me wondering especially if I plan to frequent the place now that my commitments are nearer. I hope they check out this thread to clarify if these are indeed true.

Apparently there is a change in policy and their pricing. I paid 900 back in January to have my car waxed, now it cost 1000. Since I find it costly just for wax, I opt for paying for their labor instead --- but again they NOW REFUSE to provide only labor services.

[ninjababez]

^kasi bro kung tutuusin value ng wax na nilalagay nila though magandang klase eh maliit compared sa labor. 915 mabibili nila ng 2k. tapos sabihin natin 10 - 15 cars malalagyan nila na suv. "lugi" sila sa 300 php labor only charge hehehe
