Last updated: August 15, 2023
Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind the quality of our work. If you are not completely satisfied with our services, please notify us immediately upon service completion or within 24 hours. We will make every reasonable effort to address your concerns and rectify any issues with the detailing service provided.
Our customer satisfaction guarantee includes:
- Thorough inspection of any areas of concern
- Touch-up work on any areas that do not meet our quality standards
- Opportunity to correct any missed areas or unsatisfactory results
We believe in resolving issues rather than issuing immediate refunds, as most concerns can be addressed with proper attention and care.
Refund Eligibility
Full Refunds
Full refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:
- If we are unable to perform the scheduled service due to circumstances within our control
- If the service provided significantly fails to meet the description of services as outlined on our website or in written quotes
- If damage to your vehicle occurs during our service that is directly attributable to our negligence
Partial Refunds
Partial refunds may be considered in the following circumstances:
- If only a portion of the agreed-upon services was completed
- If certain aspects of the service were not performed to our standard of quality and cannot be corrected
- If there were unforeseen complications that prevented the full completion of services (subject to our assessment)
No Refunds
Refunds will not be issued in the following circumstances:
- For services already performed to industry standards
- For pre-existing damage or conditions that could not be improved through our detailing process
- If the customer fails to point out areas of concern during the post-service inspection
- For no-shows or late cancellations (see our Cancellation Policy below)
- If the customer's expectations were unrealistic given the age, condition, or materials of the vehicle
