Took the car back on 01/05 and the guys all crowded round, telling me aggressively that the car had been cleaned. Told me that they could not see the sauce that remained on the car mats and that the sand and dirt in the boot “couldn’t be hoovered”.
Laughed in my face and were aggressive when I asked for a refund and chucked a receipt at me and told me to call the owner. The owner was equally as dismissive and told me that they “don’t do refunds”.
A poor name to the trade and will not be using again.
Wanted my car cleaned in and out, always having been £30 until now. I turned up and the ‘manager’ looks inside my car and says, ‘It’s really bad, really dirty, will be £50’. I’m a 5’3 female and was on my own and felt very pressured into agreeing, plus also shamed about my car’s condition. It wasn’t even that bad - I use seat covers so it was just sandy with some dog hair in the foot wells.
While they were cleaning I double checked their prices and nowhere does it say additional charge for a dirty car (it’s a car wash, are they expecting clean cars to turn up?).
I plucked up the courage to confront them, telling them it was outrageous and they spent no more time cleaning than they ever had done. The ‘manager’ kept saying ‘read the board, read the board’ and when I challenged him to indicate exactly where it mentioned additional charges, he backed down. I ended up paying the £30 but only because I kicked off and stood my ground.
I reckon they thought small girl, on her own, won’t know what she’s talking about or challenge us and thought they’d make a bit of quick cash. Very pleased I stood up for myself.
I’ve been going here for years, always great service and reasonable prices so I can only assume from my experience and the recent reviews that it’s changed hands.
DO NOT go here. Very distressing experience all round.
