Detailing Shops Review

[OMNS19]

Sa detail studio I paid 1,140 for a car wash and waxing(collinite 476S).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

I'm not sure I follow.

They did increase price last December daw, but that's because they upped their offerings. They're not really a car wash but do so for those who want it (kasi nagcomment ako bakit mas mahal ng konti yung car wash kesa sa tapat). So for the works I had, like a LITE version of an exterior detail with polishing plus Collinite, 1,200 for a crossover is really cheap. Like I've said I've experienced the complete opposite, and I've tried to nitpick but I'm more than satisfied. TBH probably the best in paint repair (without repainting) that I've been to so looking back and comparing, I'd highly recommend them for that. I really like the fact that they never tried to upsell, and they tell me when it's not needed, like the compound and OCW. May nakasabay ako na nagpawax na dating may detailing shop, and he says the same thing.

^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

Yeah, that makes sense. Business wise I'd understand, kasi you're actually also paying for their knowledge, training, etc etc., similar to the concept of corkage in restaurants, where I can relate. Available space, time, effort, sobrang liit probably ng kikitain it might not even be worth it. Might also be quality control and authenticity/ product integrity issues. I used to bring my own wax to the shop I used to frequent before, won't do it again, it's just wasteful. Naubos agad yung tin ko at nagka durog durog at dumi.

In another story, I had my car washed at BGC yesterday. Paid 200+.. It was ok. Just too much dust in the metro

Mga Sir/Ma'am, any recommended professional car wash and auto-detailer around Pasig-Marikina area?

Yung Montero 2012 kasi ng tita ko daming gasgas, tama at dimples. Yung paligid ng mga exterior door handles, dami ring gasgas dahil sa mga singsing na suot nya at mahahaba nyang kuko. Nabagsakan din daw ng buko yung roof kaya may bend. Dami ring gasgas ng mga plastic interior panels lalo na yung sa mga door dahil kapag nagloload daw sya ng mga cargo and stuff na binibili nya, sinisiksik nya talaga sa loob ng sasakyan.

Para magka-idea lang ako, magkano ang standard prices sa mga car wash and auto-detailing service for an SUV like Montero para magmukhang parang bago at makintab uli? Wala talaga akong alam sa mga professional auto-detailing dahil yung Tucson ko, very low maintenance dahil maingat ko sya gamitin at konti lang ang gasgas at car wash at wax lang ginagawa ko.

Maraming Salamat!

Had the car waxed at Big Bert's Ortigas earlier. I like the process they do in that shop. They use separate mitts when cleaning the top and bottom part of the car. They also do this simultaneously, unlike in Detail Studio, where they do the bottom-to-top method, which will make you think that baka madumi na yung mitts nila pagdating sa taas which might scratch your car paint. After washing the car(interior and exterior), they did do tar removal for those cement remnants on my wheel well, then they did claying on the body. After claying, they used a cleaner wax to remove streaks and swirl marks. What I like with their process which I haven't seen in any other car wash is that they employ different types of lighting to check the car around. They got UV lighting and also Halogen lighting. After the cleaner wax, I have them use my Collinite Marque D' Elegance to top it off. It was hand waxed without the use of a polisher, just like how Detail Studio does it. As a bonus, they kinda gave my car an engine wash, they sprayed some degreaser in the engine bay and wiped it off to clean the visible areas of the engine bay. Before rolling of the shop, they got me the usual tire dressing. All this for P800. Sulit na and happy with their service.

What I don't like though was the long queue in Big Berts Ortigas(buti nalang I was there even before they started to open shop). Also there is a tendency to miss a spot just like Detail Studio, well I think most car wash naman are like that, specially if it's the bottom part of the car. Overall, I'd say I'm taking my business to Big Berts na.

Sir Sientobente,

Ano po ang tawag sa service na ginawa sa kotse ninyo? Yung cleaner wax by hand or machine ang pag apply? 100 % po ba natangal yung swirl marks? Balak ko po kasing mag avail ng ganyang service kay Big Berts? Thanks.

Probably 99% ng swirl marks yung kayang tanggalin ng polish/cleaner wax. Yung hindi matanggal is probably paint defects na like deep scratches na kelangan na siguro is rubbing compound ang gamitin para pumantay yung pintura. Their wax service that includes all those steps cost P900. If you skip the cleaner/polisher step, it goes down to P700. Less P100 if you bring your own wax. Yung sa hand or machine, depende po ata yun sa type ng wax that you will use. Big Berts naman po is familiar how the wax should be applied and buffed off even if the wax isn't theirs.

These prices pala sir are for a CUV, it might cost less if it's a regular sedan.

[POPOY_123]

Copy Sir SientoBente.

Thanks.

Ano package itong service nila bro? Mura. Ilang oras gagawin ?

Hi sirs! Any feedback on Mothers in San Juan? And price range for their services? Thanks

Big Berts Araneta:

Been patronizing Big Bert's Araneta for a year now. Availed its Paint Protect program for my Black Mirage hatch.

I'm quite satisfied with the sessions from the program itself but during my regular visit for car wash I've been very disappointed.

Watermarks are still very visible after the carwash, water from the side mirrors are not being dried up which causes water to drip out when I started driving out (this happens everytime).

Though you really have to give props to their customer lounge which got sofa's and cabled TV + wifi.


I hope they could improve their basic services since their shops is just a minute drive away from home.

Prautotype - Makati

Visited them last weekend to avail wash and wax (collinite) - 420php for small car

I'm more than satisfied with their service, even though there's quite a queue of customers in line they won't hastily wash your car and they still go for their usual wash regimen. Like big berts, they have separate areas for washing and drying which is a huge plus for any car wash shops.

The only thing missing for this shop is a waiting area.

Thanks sa reviews

I just had my pearl white car detailed and had paint sealant applied at BNT along Zapote Alabang road Las Pinas. Im really impressed with their workmanship. Lalong lumutang yung pagka pearl ng car ko. Highly recommended!

[Salanguit]

Meron ba ditong familiar sa Antricks Petron along Buendia and Prautotype sa may Zobel_roxas Manila? Sino mas effective?

[tahxcool]

Prautotype ok mag wax..ang ayaw ko sa process ng wash nila..1 bucket lang gamit both sa soap and rinse ng microfiver scrub nila..big no no... Ok naman sa bottom cleansing kasi separate bucket ng soap and scrup gamit..

[dishcom]

yung kalmot ng pusa na mababaw? kaya pa ba yan e detailing?
